Love at Fifth Sight

Chapter 9

2 weeks later

The rest of the girls had gone home to their families in Texas and Florida. So Dinah had all the time in the world to spend with her family. She wanted to call Zayn to see what he was up to, but ultimately decided not to. She was back living with her family and loving it, but she had to admit she wanted some alone time; so, she decided to go to the beach.

She put on her swimsuit, a tank top, and her favorite lavalava. As she walked out of her house, she was on her phone and not looking where she was going. Consequently, she bumped into someone. She looked up from her phone...

"Nela?" she said in a shocked and confused manner.

"Dinah..." a regretful looking Nela replied.

"What are you doing here?!" she said angrily as she walked past him.

He didn't even live in California, he lived in Nevada. Why was he here?!

"I came to say I'm sorry," Nela said with an apologetic look in his eyes.

Dinah stopped where she stood, "It's too late for that," she said as she walked on.

Nela grabbed her hand, "Wait! I really am sorry..."

Dinah turned around in anger, "It's been 6 and a half months Nela! SIX!!!!! What happened? Did your side hoe break up with you?!"

"No it's not like that. I haven't seen her since you last saw her. I swear! I just didn't want to say this over the phone while you were on tour. I wanted to do this in person, and then I heard you were back home," he rambled on.

"You heard right," she said with her arms crossed as she walked to her car and threw her stuff in.

"I came all the way from Nevada... I just want to say I'm sorry and if you'll have it I'd like to give us a try again," Nela pleaded.

Dinah slammed her door shut, making Nela jump. She turned to face him, "Cut the bull. You're here, in California, because this is where you're attending college. NOT because of me!" she seethed out with a white hot anger as she glared at Nela then turned around to enter her car.

Nela realized she didn't want to hear it, but he wasn't taking no for an answer. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to him before she got into the car. He kissed her and Dinah tried to seperate herself from him, but he was so much stronger. Eventually she gave in and kissed him back.

"I love you," Nela managed to get out as they kissed.

When the stopped they just kinda stood there awkwardly. Their past was too strong and evident for Dinah to forget. So she could not deny the feelings she had for this boy, no matter how much he had hurt her, "I love you too..."

Nela smiled and hugged Dinah, "So does this mean you'll give me another chance?"

Dinah looked at the ground as she laughed and tucked some of her hair behind her ear. She looked up at him hesitantly as she replied with a, "Yes."

Nela smiled rather largely as he picked her up by her waist and spun her around. They both laughed. He set her down after a few twirls, and Dinah laughed some more. She grabbed his hands and leaned towards him with her foot in the air.

"I was headed to the beach. Wanna come?"

"Of course," he said with a loving smile.

Dinah smiled as she ran towards her car and Nela did to. They raced the couple of miles to the beach. Dinah made it there first and she immediately started running towards the water. Before she knew it Nela was racing past her. Dinah ran even faster and jumped on his back. He stumbled a little and she screamed, afraid that he might fall. But he regained his balance and gave Dinah a piggy back ride the rest of the way.

When they got to where the water meets sand, Dinah jumped off Nela's back and held his hands. The newly reunited couple walked on the beach hand in hand talking about new gossip around, playing in the water, and just having an overall good time, until it was time to go.

1 week later: Zayn's P.O.V

After Zayns failed attempt to ask Dinah out over the phone he planned to do it in person. So after 3 weeks of thinking he decided he was gonna take a trip to America for a month, specifically to California (as a result Niall ALSO wanted to travel to the U.S, but too Texas instead so as to surprise Ally). The rest of the boys knew, but he didn't tell Dinah or anybody else from Fifth Harmony of their arrivals.

As Zayn flew to Cali he rehearsed what he was gonna do/say. But what he didn't know was that none of that would matter...
