my brother's bestfriend

33

"Tonight was nice." Zayn smiles as he walks me to the car. We're taking his and he's going to drop me off, while Joey and Jack are taking the other car to hook up somewhere.

"Y-yeah it was." i smile. And i really mean it, tonight was great. He doesn't even know how much it means to me.

He opens the passenger seat of me and I climb in. He's so sweet. He closes the door and hops in the drivers seat. He starts the car and the radio plays, One Direction starts playing and i roll my eyes.

"Um, do you listen to like The Weeknd or R&B?" I ask. I really don't want to be reminded of Harry right now.

"Y-yeah." he stutters, "I love his music. Of course i'll change it." he pulls out his phone and connects it to the aux cord and plays Wicked games.

"I love this song!" I exclaim as i nod my head to the music, "Even if it's a couple of years old it'll never get old to me."

"I know right? Wow we've got more in common than i thought." Zayn laughs as he drives away from the mall.

The ride was comfortable. Zayn kept making small talk, it was really easy to talk to him. We have the same taste in music, besides the fact that he kept bringing up the One Direction band.

"Well we're here." Zayn pouts as he pulls into my driveway.

"Yeah, I wish we could hang out longer. You're really cool." i smile as i gather my belongings.

I walk out of the car and begin walking down the driveway. Zayn follows close behind me.

"What are you doing?" i laugh, turning around to face Zayn.

"What does it look like i'm doing? I'm walking you to your door." he says pointing out the obvious.

"Yeah, why?" i laugh.

"Because i want to. You're a pretty girl and any guy could just snatch you up in an instant. So i'm here to make sure you're safe."

"I think i can handle myself." I laugh, "But thank you. The thought counts."

"I'm still walking you to your door." Zayn rolls his eyes playfully.

"Fine." I smile to myself as i turn around and begin to walk.

"I really enjoyed tonight. I was kind of nervous because we've never met before." Zayn says once we reach my doorstep.

"Me too. Like nervous and stuff." I sigh, "Wait wait wait, I also enjoyed tonight too." I mentally slap myself.

"I would love to do this again. But maybe just you and me. Not another double date." Zayn steps closer to me.

"Of course, I would love to." I smile as Zayn is inches from my face.

"Would it be too fast if i were to kiss you right now? Because the universe is just begging me to do it." Zayn asks and i chuckle.

I lean in and place a small kiss on his lips. The kiss begins to grow deeper but Zayn stops. He scratches the back of his neck with a smile on his face.

"Well thank you for coming out on this date with me tonight." Zayn smiles

"Thank you for walking me to my door." I giggle. Zayn wraps his arms around me and kisses my forehead.

"Goodnight love." He says then turns around and walks away. My heart aches at that word. That one word. That name. love.

Harry use to always call me Love. No! Christal stop it. Just stop. He's out of your life now. You shouldn't be stressing out about him. He never even loved you. Plus you've got this handsome man that's interested in you. Be grateful.
