The day we met (Zayn Malik Fanfic)

Chapter 4 "The meeting"

Ivy's P.O.V

     About 10 days have passed since I got back home and I'm already starting to get a little bored, In just about 2 months I'm going to get back to school which is something that I'm very much looking forward to, Yes, I'm looking forward to getting back to school days because unlike highschool, college is actually pretty much fun, as I get to study the stuff that I actually like and not stuff that I'm forced upon. Anyway, what was making me really frustrated is that all I could think about those past 10 days is Zayn, yes, the guy I met at the airport, I couldn't get his smell out of my head, the way I looked up to see his mesmerising brown eyes inches away from mine, how his smile would make his perfect teeth shine, and his smirk, oh God the smirk, it makes any girl's heart melts and a cage of butterflies would get wide open into anyone's stomach.. I didn't feel guilty about it because Charlie had been acting really weird since I got back home and he didn't even bother to call me in the last 5 days, we just weren't in love as much as we used to.

Anna was staying with me for the rest of the summer, and then I will send her back home to Manchester before school, she wouldn't get too bored because she has quite a few friends here so she gets to hang out with them as well. 

After getting out of the shower, I put on some clothes and sigh, knowing that today is going to be a long, boring day since I promised Anna to take her to the park today, I hustle into the kitchen and decide to make us some lunch, I made a couple of sandwiches, put them on two different plates and took them into the living room where Anna was watching TV, I dropped myself on the couch and took a bite out of my sandwich while staring at the TV screen, not really watching but just staring with a million thoughts running through my head, I decided to get my phone out of my pocket to text Zayn .. What am I going to lose? we might actually become some really good friends.

I took it out and a smile started to form on my lips as I sent the text: "Hey stranger, it's Ivy, from the airport! Just thought I'd say hi and see if you're alright x"

I threw it next to me on the couch, knowing that he'll probably not text back and just continued to eat my sandwich. Scratch that thought, my phone started to vibrate about two minutes later, I grinned as I picked it up and saw that he texted me back: "Finally! I thought u'd forgotten about me by now, what took u so long miss :) how bout we grab some coffee and catch up? x"

My grin widend like never before, It probably looked pretty creepy, how do I know? Anna was looking at me like she's just seen a pedophile, I laughed at her and told her to finish her lunch, I looked back down at my phone and sent him a reply: 

"I'm actually taking Anna to hyde park today, wanna join? or am i dragging you to hell?" 

another two minutes and my phone vibrated again: "The park it is, meet you there at 3 xx" , I quietly squealed.

"Looks like we're gonna be three at the park today", I informed Anna, she looked at me confused and shruged, not even bother to ask whose coming along.

I got up, took both dishes to the kitchen and put them slowly in the sink, walking out and straight to my room, I told Anna to go get ready. I got into my room and decide to change into something nicer, going through my wardrobe, pushing racks of clothes from side to side not knowing what to pick, I finally settled on something, I pulled out my ripped skinny black jeans, white tank top with a mouctache printed on it, red toms and decided to skip carrying a purse today, instead I slipped my phone and some money into my pocket and took the keys in my hand. Anna came running down from her room with a couple of stuff to play with, I nodded to her, motioning for her to head to the door, it was already 2:45. We get into the car and I started driving to the park.

About a couple of minutes later we got there, just in time for the date *not an actual date but you know what I mean* Anna ran over to play with a couple of kids a couple of feet away and I just sat by a tree texting Zayn to see where he's at. While I'm in the middle of the process, I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder, I looked behind me and I saw the most gorgeous eyes that I remember seeing a few of days ago, I couldn't help but smile and let out a little 'Hi' in surprise,

Zayn put his arms around my waist and took me in for a hug, I hugged him back and we both pulled away smiling, "I miss you", he said.

"I miss you too", I smiled up at him. He waved his hand in the air, mentaling asking me for a walk, I nodded and we both start walking and catching up..

"How are you? It definitely took you a while to call me, Miss hard to get", He said with a chuckle.

"Well, you're lucky I even called", I laughed and teased him, he put his hand over his chest and pretended to be hurt. We chatted for what felt like minutes but turned out it was about 4:30 .. why is it that always good time flies by quick? I saw Anna coming towards us and as she slowly saw who I'm with, she raised her eyesbrows and came running over,

"I've been trying to make my kite fly, wanna help?", She asked him with a hopeful smile on her face. "Sure",  he said, agreeing to help.

I sat on the grass beneath a tall tree and watched them as they both tried to fly it, the way he made Anna giggle and how much fun she was having made him a lot more attractive than he already is, I just sat there for about 20 minutes observing how much of a perfect father he would be to my children .. wait, what? what the hell am I saying, I have a boyfriend, oh speaking of boyfriends I should probably call Charlie and see what's going on, someone has to start that conversation sooner or later anyway and sooner seemed to make more sense.

I put my hands in my pocket and reached down for my phone, I started to dial his number and waited as the the line started to ring, after about 6 or 7 rings he evantually picked up.

"H-Hello?", the voice on the other line stuttered.

"Charlie? Where the hell heve you been?", I whisper/shout in the phone not wanting anyone to listen.

"Oh, Ivy .. Just been around, what's up?", he casually said.

"Just been around? You haven't called or text in about a week, you do remember that I'm still your girlfriend, right?", I asked confused.

"Yea, about that..", he stayed quite for a while, "umm..", he started to talk again, "Maybe we should move on Ivy, I mean we both know th-", then his voice was cut off by another girl's voice.

"Are you cheating on me?", that's when I started to yell and realized that a few people were looking.

"I wouldn't call it cheating, Ivy. I thought we were over", He tried to explain himself.

"OH.MY.GOD. you know what, don't even bother", and I hung up before he had the chance to anything else.

I angirly threw my phone on the grass next to me and feeling the tears starting to swell up in my eyes. I tried to push it back so Anna wouldn't notice and I succeeded, I walked up to where they were playing and I told Anna that it was time to go.

Zayn looked me in the eye, "Are you ok?", he asked, a bit worried, I hesitantly, "Yep, I'm great, come on Anna", I said, taking her hand, he grabbed my arm and looked deeply in my eyes,

"Ivy, Are you OK?", he repeated himself obviously noticing the tears in my eyes that I've been trying to hide. I looked over at Anna then back at him, hoping that he'd get it, I didn't wanna talk infront of her, he nodded in understandment. "Do you wanna come over for dinner? I'll cook", I asked nicely. Anna squealed wanting him to say yes, he smiled at her and then nodded at me. We start walking back to my car back to my house.
