Beautiful Chaos

Midnight Snack

Lakshita's P.O.V---

Zayn intertwined his fingers with mine as we walked in the streets. The city was wide awake though it was close to midnight. Lights were on in every building I spotted. People were walking to places and no one was without a phone. It was a mildly cold night. I was dressed in a simple black butt shorts and a white sweater. I looked at Zayn and he was whistling as he walked, looking at the streets the same way I did. I my head was right upto his cheek. His jawline was perfectly chiseled and his cheek bones were goddamn attractive. 

The grip on my hand grew tighter and I looked away. "What were you looking at, baby?" He asked not looking at me but I saw a smile play on his lips. "Um... nothing. Just the view." I said and very small dimples dented his cheeks. "What view exactly, may I know?" He asked and I blushed. "I know you know what I was looking at, Zayn." I whined and he chuckled. "Why don't you help me confirm my assumption?" He looked at me. "Fine. I was admiring your handsome face. Enough?" I pouted and he laughed. "More than enough." 

We entered a street that was filled with shops and people. "Who goes shopping at midnight?" I questioned and he shrugged. "Maybe a cute couple like us?" He asked and I flicked his forehead, "Idiot." He grinned. He wrapped his arm around my waist as we made our way through the crowd and looked at the variety of things. I saw a military pant and grinned, but realised I hadn;t brought my purse with me. 

I turned away to look at this old woman selling beetroots. Zayn came up to me with a cover and I shook my head. "I hate you so much. Stop spending so much for me!" I complained and he kissed my forehead. "I am earning to spend for my family first and then for myself. You are also family. So shut up." 

He lead me to this Waffle shop and I scanned through the menu. "Um... I'll get a chocochip waffle, Zayn." I said and he ordered two of it. We stood infront of the street shop and I was looking at this menu board that hung on the top of the shop opposite to us. "They sell Octopus tentacles to eat?! Eww... Who eats that!" I exclaimed and Zayn shut my mouth. "People who live here do. Don't be that loud. Someone might get annoyed, Lakshita. We don't want trouble." He said and I bit my lip. "Sorry, Zee." "Its alright, baby." He chuckled.

We soon got our hot and sexy waffles. We walked down the street, eating it. Zayn and I were shaking due to how hot it was. I finished it and threw the wrapper in a bin, while Zayn was still eating. 

I saw an old man playing a guitar by himself to teh tune of 'One Thing.' "Hello, sir. I am Lakshita. Do you have an extra guitar?" I asked and Zayn raised an eyebrow, the old man nodded. "Mind if I play with you, sir?" I asked and he smiled, handing it over to me. 

I stood next to him and we slowly started. I strum teh guitar to the tune and started to sing the song.

"I've tried playing it cool
But when I'm looking at you
I can't ever be brave
'Cause you make my heart race

Shot me out of the sky
You're my kryptonite
You keep making me weak
Yeah, frozen and can't breathe

Something's gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to make you see
That I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing"

I noticed Zayn singing along and grinning at me. He clapped his hands to the beat. A crowd had gathered around and no one had luckily recognised us. I continued singing.

"Now I'm climbing the walls
But you don't notice at all
That I'm going out of my mind
All day and all night

Something's gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to know your name
And I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh

You've got that one thing

Get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind (out of my mind)
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
Yeah, you've got that one thing."

I strum the guitar for the final time and bow down as everyone clapped. I gave the old man his guitar back and he smiled at me. Quite some amount of dollars was in his cap. "Thank you so much. My family and I would have had very little food this month if not for this money you helped me earn today." He said on the verge of tears. I hugged him and smiled. "I am really happy I could help you." 

Zayn and I continued walking. We spotted a lot of small shops which sold different stuff. We shopped a few things and returned back to the hotel as the night closed in on us.
