[Thalia's POV]

"This room is so lovely, you can see everything for up here." I gasped as I braided my hair, peering over the balcony.

Zayn grinned, looking up from his phone. He'd gotten a call from his management, something about security details. I disliked having additional security, it meant our proper date wasn't all too secret, but I knew it came with the package and I'd have to suck it up or forget it, and with the way I was feeling now, I didn't want to leave.

I knew Zayn and I had a long way to go; I was still overwhelmed by him but also fascinated.

I liked him. I couldn't help it, I liked him.

No matter how hard I tried to distance myself from him, he drew me in.

My phone buzzed, startling me.

"Hello?"

"Oi, you. How come you never phoned me?"

"Crap! Sorry, Dana. It slipped my mind, I-" I blushed, knowing Dana was everything but pleased.

She gave a melodramatic sigh, making me smile. It was so like her.

"Well, I hope you enjoy yourself, babe. I've got a fit guy coming over tonight." She said, almost bursting with excitement.

I laughed, "Not another one! I hope you enjoy yourself too, I'll be back soon."

"You better, and try not to get into too much trouble."

"Of course, you know me." I replied, grinning.

"Good girl. Bye, Thalia. I love you!"

"You too." I ended the call, smiling at my phone.

When I turned around, Zayn was stood beside me on the balcony.

"Ah, isn't this lovely?" He whispered as the breeze blew over our faces.

I'd changed into an oversized Coca Cola t-shirt and some fluffy slippers.

Zayn was in a marvel set of pyjamas, making me laugh. I'd never encountered a celebrity who liked comic books as much as Zayn did.

In fact, I'd never encountered any other celebrity before him, end of.

"What is it you want to do tomorrow?" Zayn asked, touching my chin and turning my head to face him.

"Honestly Zayn, I don't know. I'd love to check out some museums or galleries, but I want you to enjoy it too." I blushed momentarily.

He smiled, "I'm happy wherever you are. I want to show you every part of Amsterdam I possibly can in three days."

I returned his grin. He made butterflies reappear somewhere in my stomach; I was losing my edge.

He yawned, "Bed time, I think."

I followed him into the room and closed the balcony doors. The bed was huge, but I didn't know how I felt about sharing a bed with him so soon.

"Thalia, we've slept in the same bed plenty of times." He reminded.

I blushed. Most of the times he'd initiated it, however I didn't want to argue with him. Things were becoming so...nice.

"Okay."

I climbed under the many blankets and Zayn followed suit, rising over me slightly to tuck me in. "Comfy?" He asked.

"Absolutely." I said, though I was practically sinking in the overly soft mattress.
