marina's POV

°

All week had passed along with cramps, many trips to the store, and more cramps. But luckily I wasn't on it anymore.

Today was Thursday and mine and Zayn's date was tomorrow.

I still hadn't picked an outfit out but I had just finished work and was heading off to the mall with my best friend Heidi.

She had arrived and we searched through many stores but finally ended up in a boutique.

I decided to just go with the plainest dress they had because I was not a dress kind of girl.

After a bit more shopping we had to leave because my date was a few hours away.

Once we got back to my place Heidi immediately started ranting on what makeup and hair look I should go for.

Instead of listening to her I hopped in the shower and took a very relaxing one.

After finishing showering and putting on some comfortable clothes, Heidi dragged me to the front of the mirror where a whole bunch of makeup was placed.

"Is that all really necessary?" I asked. Like I said, I wasn't a girly girl so the most I would wear was mascara and or ChapStick.

"Yes it is. Especially when your date is Zayn Malik!" she exclaimed.

When I told her he was my date she totally freaked. I guess she was a huge fan because she was always rambling on about some band but I never listened.

She started by wiping some liquid all over my face and I didn't enjoy the feeling of it on my face.

Next she applied powder exactly like the liquid stuff. And then the rest which took her 20 more minutes. And that's another reason I don't wear it. It takes way too long.

"OK. Your done!!" she squealed.

She spun my chair around to face the mirror and my jaw dropped.

Wow. OK. This was a huge difference than my everyday look. I actually liked it.

"Well? What do you think?? Do you like it or not??"

"Its actually pretty good. What did you use??"

She laughed and rolled her eyes.

"Shut up! We better hurry it's already 6 o'clock. "

My hair was next and that didn't take too long.

She had curled it in very lose curls and they worked for my face shape.

Once that was complete I needed to change into my dress which is wasn't all that excited about.

I stepped into the bathroom and slipped on the dress.

I zipped it up and looked at the final results.

Oh my, it fit me perfectly and the hair and makeup added to the look and I surprisingly loved it.

I walked back into the room as Heidi turned her head and this time her jaw dropped.

" Marina! You look amazing! Come here!" I chuckled to myself and gave her a hug. I swear sometimes she acts like my mom.

I put my heels on and was not excited about those either as I had only worn them about two times in my life.

I almost fell over as I practiced walking in them, but I finally got it after many failed attempts.

"Mari, I think your set. Just remember to have fun and don't make a fool of yourself!" I rolled my eyes.

"I know I've been on a date before!" I reassured her.

As I was gathering all of my necessities; phone, keys, money, etc.

the door bell rang and my heart started racing.

Heidi smiled over at me and mouthed "Go!" at me.

I steadily walked over to the door and opened it to see a very handsome

Zayn.
