Stole My Heart

Chapter Fifteen

Chapter Fifteen

Zayn's POV

"Is everything ready you guys?" I poked my head around the corner and looked at them.

"Yes Zayn, everything is ready. Just relax okay? We've got this!" Niall replied as he almost tripped while carrying some plates.

I let out a groan and headed back into the changing room, if this night went off without a hitch it would be a bloody miracle, I opened the door and saw Louis waiting for me. He handed me my clothes and I went into the bathroom to change, we had spent all day trying to get everything ready before seven o'clock when Eleanor was supposed to show up with Melody, it had been Louis' idea to send Eleanor to rescue her from Niall and Ally. When Niall showed up earlier he told us how horrible Melody had looked this morning and how it look like she had been crying her eyes out, a new wave of guilt hit me as the image of her crying forms in my head, I can't bare to think about her crying like that. . .and to know that I was the one who cause it.

Okay, it had exactly been said that I was the reason she was crying but after what Niall and Harry told me I knew I was, I felt so guilty about it that I couldn't even look them in the eye when they were telling me that, I was gonna try really hard tonight to make this all up to her and hope she will forgive me for acting like such a jerk towards her. I looked at my self in the mirror and sighed, it was almost time for Eleanor to show up with Melody and I was getting nervous, I straightened me jacket up and headed out of the bath room. I looked over at Lou and he gave me the thumbs up, this just made me feel even more nervous then I actually was so I sat down in the chair and starred at the wall, maybe Eleanor would get stuck in traffic and we could call the whole thing off. No! I mentally slapped my self get a grip damn it, you've screwed with her emotions eough and you just need to tell her the whole truth.

"Zayn" there was a knock at the door and Liam came inside "Eleanor is a block away, it's almost time."

I wish I had more time...

Melody's POV

"You should wear this!" Eleanor said as she pulled out the familiar blue dress.

"Really?" I asked "I haven't worn it in few years. . .I don't even know if it fits"

"Just try it, please?"

She smiled at me like Louis does when he is trying to get me to do something, which is probably where she learned it from to begin with, considering she was Louis' girlfriend after all I'm sure his taught all the tricks. I remembered when you told me all I had to do to get Liam to agree to getting us more popcorn when watching a movie was to bat my eyelashes, so when we all hung out the other night I tired and pulled a puppy dog face, Danielle burst out laughing and immediately asked once he had left the room if Louis told me to do that. I chuckled as I thought about that, Louis was always telling me ways to get the boys to do things, of course I knew of the tricks to Zayn backwards and forwards, I knew everything about Zayn and he knew everything about me.

I went into my bath and quickly changed into the familiar blue dress, I didn't have much time to get ready for this party Eleanor had invited me to, she said it would help me for about my feelings for Zayn this evening and just have a little fun. Plus she promised me some of the fittest guys in Britain would be there, perhaps flirting with one of them would take my mind of this whole Zayn thing and I can possible start healing, if that was even possible. I went out of the bathroom and back into my room and sat down at my vanity mirror, I grabbed my hair and tried to fix the tangled mess that was my hair but it was no use, I sighed and out the hair brush back down again.

"Here let me help" Eleanor said as she walked up behind me.

"Wow!" I exclaimed about twenty minutes later "It looks incredible Eleanor, thank you."

"It was nothing, now hurry up with your make up. We should have left about five minutes ago."

I quickly put on some mascara and eyeliner, I put on a little lip gloss and grabbed my purse as we headed out of my bed room, I grabbed my house keys and we headed out the front door and locked it behind me. We got into the car and Eleanor started driving, I looked out the car window and watched the houses fly past us as we headed down the street, it was almost completely dark and it looked like it was going to be a clear night. I wasn't paying much attention to where we were going as she drove and instead let my mind wonder back to the last time I wore this dress, how much fun I had trying to get Zayn to dance with me and for the first time I realised how much he was blushing that night, I had made him blush like that and had made him blush a lot of times since then.

"We'll be there in five minutes!" I heard Eleanor say a noticed that she was on the phone.

She must have called the host to tell them she was almost there, I sat back in my seat and thought about a few things, I had actually had a lot of fun with her today. Eleanor was a really nice girl to hang out with, we head even called Danielle and got some coffee together, they cheered me up by pointing out cute guys and one very shirtless guy running down the street like a mad man. I felt the car come to a stop and got out, I looked around and noticed we were in an empty parking lot, this was odd and I had a weird feeling about all of this. I looked over at Eleanor who was locking her car and she smiled at me, okay. . .yeah this was really weird and I didn't like the feeling I was getting as I followed her towards the building, which was on the other side of the parking lot. She suddenly stopped in her tracks and I did the same, it was almost like she was waiting for something. . .or someone for that matter, I heard a loud thunk and some hushed voice then the tall figure of a curly haired boy in a suit and tie closely followed by his partner in suspenders.

"Good evening ladies, may we escort you inside?" Louis asked as Harry held out his arm for me to take.

I slipped my arm around his and looked at him with a confused look on my face, he simply smiled as he and Louis lead us inside, I kept looking at them all but nobody would tell me anything. Harry let of my arm and the room we were standing in went pitch black, I couldn't see anything infront or around me and that wasn't good, I felt around and suddenly felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist and I gasped. I put my hands on the familiar forearms of my best friend and broke down in tears, I was turned around and saw the lights come on and looked into his face, I broke down and started crying right there and I didn't care if anyone saw me.

"Shh. . .It's okay Mel, I'm so sorry for everything. Please don't cry anymore?" I looked up into Zayn's beautiful brown eyes.

"Why did you bring me here? To screw with my emot-"

I was cut short by a pair a lips slamming into mine, it wasn't a desperate kiss or anything but it was heated, he placed his hands on the back of my neck and my lower waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled away from his lips, I just looked at him in shock then at the others around me, they were all watching me and Zayn. Finally I looked back at Zayn, he was just looking at me and I decided to have a little pay back time, before anyone saw what was happening I reached up and slapped Zayn across the face. I heard them all gasp and a few whispers, I looked at Zayn straight in the face and waited, finally he cleared his throat and spoke.

"I deserved that" he said "I completely and utterly deserved that, I'm sorry I screwed with your feeling Mel. . .I do love you, really I do. When I saw you with Harry I got jealous, and I shouldn't have. Can you forgive me and do the honour of joining me on this date?"

Date? What was he talking about?

"A date? Wait. . .Is this why Eleanor bought me here?" I looked over at her and she waved at me.

"Yes, Louis and Eleanor. . .thank you for your help, go enjoy your evening. And thanks to the rest of you too" he smiled at them then looked at me "fancy some food?"

I admit it, my heart melted faster than butter and I was in love with him, what else can I say? He knows how to sweep me off my feet.
