We're making all the same mistakes.

Chapter 6

Holly’s P.O.V. 

“What are you doing kissing my girlfriend, eh? I saw you, outside Nando’s!” 

We all gasped, shocked. Melissa looked the most confused.

“What? I’ve never met you in my life!” She cried. “I don’t know who you are!”

The boy holding Harry’s neck took a long look at Melissa, then loosened his grasp. Harry gasped for air. 

“You... you look like my girlfriend...” The guy muttered, but then backed away. “You weren’t kissing my girlfriend, then?” He said to Harry.

“Of course not! This was the first girl I’ve kissed in a long time, and by the sounds of things, she’s not your girlfriend.” 

“Just a lookalike, I guess...” The guy said, looking embarrassed. “Yeah, now I see it... you’ve got different eyes. When you were kissing him, you looked like my girlfriend... er... I’ll go now.” 

The guys wandered off, obviously mortified. We all looked at each other and burst out laughing. 

“What the hell just happened?” Harry laughed. 

“Wow. That was hilarious.” I giggled. 

“Oh my God Harry, you kissed a girl who looks vaguely like that guy’s girlfriend! He’d better beat you up for that crime!” Louis joked. 

“Wait, hang on a second – you two kissed?” Liam said, and everyone fell silent, turning to look at Melissa and Harry. 

Melissa shrugged, embarrassed, but Harry took hold of her hand. “Yeah.” He told us. “We kissed.” 

Louis frowned and stood right in front of Harry, and pretended to slap him. “You cheated on me! What about Larry Stylinson?” 

Harry laughed. “Don’t worry Louis. You’re always my number one guy.” 

“Hey!” Zayn scoffed. “What about us?” 

“The harsh land of Harry’s heart, only space for one fella.” Liam shook his head in sarcastic disbelief. 

“Harry, you’d better apologise for that.” Niall said. “That was not cool.”

Soon, we were all laughing again, and the subject of Harry and Melissa’s kiss lay forgotten. 

We arrived back at Kirsten’s house too quickly – I would’ve walked a hundred miles with Zayn by my side – and we had to face saying goodbye to the boys. The evening had gone so fast. Too fast.

I hugged all the boys, but when I came to Zayn, I held on for longer, never wanting to let go. 

“Oh yeah, Niall?” I heard Becky say as I hugged Zayn. “You know what you asked earlier? Well the answer is yes. I’ll see you at 10 by the cinema, is that okay?” 

“Great.” I heard Niall say, and I smiled. Everything was turning out perfectly – Melissa and Harry were together, and now Niall and Becky were going on a date tomorrow. Louis seemed to really like Kirsten, and Rosie and Liam hadn’t kept their eyes off each other. Zayn had kissed me on the cheek, but did that mean he liked me, or was he just doing it in a friendly way? 

But then I got my answer, when Zayn looked into my eyes and said, “I don’t want to leave...” 

“I don’t want you to leave.” I said. Suddenly, I had a thought. “Would you like to go for a walk? Just us two?” 

Zayn smiled and nodded. 

“Kirsten, I’ll be back in ten minutes. Me and Zayn are just going for a walk, okay?” 

Kirsten winked. “Have fun.” 

Zayn and I walked along the pavement, and through a gate into the park. The sun was slowly setting, and warmth spread through my body. Zayn held my hand as we walked along under the trees, talking. 

“I want to show you something...” Zayn said suddenly, and he led me through a gap in some trees. On the other side, my jaw dropped. 

We were standing at the front of a massive field, full of thousands and thousands of coloured flowers. Zayn pulled me along into the middle, where we fell onto the ground and lay there on our backs, looking up at the sky. 

“Holly, I’ve got something I want to tell you.” Zayn began. “Ever since I first laid eyes on you, I knew you were the one for me. You’re beautiful. And I feel like we have this connection, you know? Everything you say is so wonderful, and we have so much in common. And, I was wondering, will you be my girlfriend?” 

It was like a dozen fireworks had gone off in my heart. I felt so happy, I wanted to scream and sing and shout, and dance around like a lunatic. 

“Yes, of course I’ll be your girlfriend, Zayn Malik.” 

All of a sudden he grabbed me and kissed me, right on the lips. I felt him smiling as we kissed. 

I was the happiest girl alive
