I didn't bother asking Zayn where he was taking us. I didn't care as I long as I was with him. He held onto my hand as he drove. It felt amazing because I knew that it wasn't for show, it was for real this time.
"Have you heard from your mother yet?" He asked me.
I shook my head, "No, I'm sure they haven't noticed that we aren't there anymore."
"Your family is really nice. I was a little nervous to meet them, but they are really genuine people." Zayn said as we stopped at a red light.
"Thank you. I was really nervous at the beginning of all of this, but I like how things have changed." I smiled.
"I do too." He rubbed my hand with his thumb soothingly.
When we arrived at the London Eye, I was excited. The last time that I had been there was with my cousin Blair. She and I came before we graduated from school. It was just quiet and a beautiful way to see all of London.
"Have you ever been here before?" I asked Zayn as he parked the car about a block away from the attraction.
He shook his head, "There is a first time for anything."
Zayn got out of the car and walked over to open the passenger door for me. He held out a hand to help me out and I thankfully took it. The heels I was wearing were starting to hurt.
He laced our fingers together and we walked towards the London Eye entrance. It was about to close and I was glad that we came before it did.
He bought two tickets and a few minutes later we were on. I walked all the way inside and looked out to the gorgeous view. I loved London at nighttime. It was quiet and beautiful to say the least.
Zayn stood behind me and placed his hands on my waist.
"Isn't it beautiful?" I murmured.
"Not as nearly as beautiful as you are." He whispered into my ear softly. He moved my hair to the right side of my neck and then I felt his lips touch it lightly.
"Such a charmer." I teased.
"I was a little nervous to tell you that I had feelings for you. I just- I didn't want to be the only one." Zayn confessed.
I turned to face him and he pressed our bodies closer together. I wasn't concerned about the view anymore; just him.
"I was the same. I mean, we just met and I was scared because I was feeling things for you that I wasn't sure that I should be." I looked up into his beautiful brown eyes.
I felt his hand trail lightly against my collarbone. It made me shiver. The effect that he had on me was uncanny. I never dated anyone like him. He was mysterious, but not in an annoying way. I wanted to know more about him, but I knew that if I was patient enough he would tell me.
"You are different than the girls that I was romantically with, not just ones that paid for me to see them. When I had to pretend to date them, they would want other things from me. I felt like a piece of meat to them. You, want to get to know me. You are so timid and shy around me that it is adorable. You have so many amazing qualities and I can't wait to get to know you even more." Zayn told me.
I smiled a little, "I keep wanting to pinch myself to make sure this was real."
He cupped my cheek with his hand and I leaned into it, "This is real."
Zayn looked from my eyes to my lips. He kissed me softly before he kissed me a little firmer. I placed my hands on his broad shoulders and felt like fireworks were bursting above us.
