Zayn~

I can do this. I can, I can do this.

"I can't do this." I pace back and forth.

"Yes, you can Zee, you already asked her out. That is the hardest part." Louis says from his spot by Niall.

"But what if-" Niall cuts me off, with a harsh, but not angry, tone.

"Zayn! Mate, get ahold of yourself!"

"Right, right." I sit down on one of the chairs in their front room.

"Now, take a few deep breaths." He commands. I do as he says, and slowly take a few deep breaths. "Listen to Louis and I."

"You can do this. She clearly likes you, and you like her. So a date will just be more fun. You already spend time together, alone right?" Louis pecks Niall on the cheek before looking at me.

"Yea, but this'll be different. It'll be a date." I whine. I flop back, into the back of the chair.

"Exactly, you will be able to kiss her." Niall says, then Louis mumbles something about straight people.

"Right." I sigh, they aren't really helping.

"You have nerves of steel, Zee." Louis says.

"Yup, nerves of steel." Niall agrees.

"It'll be easy because you are meant to be, Zayn." Liam says as he sets down his coffee cup, full of tea.

"Don't go all cheddar on me Li." I groan.

"I'm not being cheesy, I am telling the truth." He rolls his eyes at me, sipping his tea.

"Ugh, I don't know where to take her." I rub my face.

"I can't help you there, I don't know her."

"Wow! Liam," I grumble, being very, very sarcastic, "you are so helpful."

He rolls his eyes and says, "Whatever, you can do it, you have nerves of steel."

"Harry, I need your help." I say into my phone as I smash out a cigarette.

"How may I be of service, sir?" He says. being ridiculous as usual.

"I am going on a date with Sasha, but I don't know where to take her."

"Ah! Bird troubles, dear Zayn? You have come to the right place." He says, and I can imagine him stroking his chin like he has a beard.

"Okay, if I have come to the right place, then help me. And I swear if you tell me that I have nerves of steel I will slice off you testicles with a rusty pair of scissors." I threaten.

"What? No, you know what, I don't even want to know. Here is what you do. Tell her to dress for a first date with a guy she really likes. Then pick out three places. The first place, a casual affair like a bowling alley, or go kart racing. The second, a really fancy upscale place, like that one fancy restaurant Liam likes or the art gallery that Louis took Niall to. Lastly, choose an in between. Like a comedy club, or maybe that one classy bar, uh 'Michael's' or 'Mitchells'. When you pick her up the way she is dressed decides where you go. If she is wearing jeans and a pair tennis flip flops, go to the bowling alley, or go karting. If she is wearing nice jeans a blouse go the comedy club, because she clearly wants to go somewhere nice, but doesn't want the whole nine yards and really romantic treatment, but she put in enough effort for more than bowling. Lastly if she wearing a dress and heels, or something like that go the fancy place." He finishes and I gobsmacked.
