This Is It

Chapter 4

The next morning when I woke up, I had the biggest smile you could ever imagine on my face. This was the first time in a long time that I was truly, genuinely happy.

I hop into the shower after waking Olivia up. We all know she will probably go back to sleep, though. In case that happens, I set an alarm for thirty minutes on her phone and put it on high volume.

My showers usually last about thirty minutes. I just think that the hot water feels good on my normally cold skin.

My thoughts race back to my mom. I think back to the day she was murdered. The person who killed my mom was never caught. Who could it have been? The cops and detectives couldn't find any fingerprints. The criminal obviously covered up really well. I do remember that a person was pulling out of the driveway in a small, black compact car. I did tell the cops. They haven't found anything on that lead yet. There are so many small, black compact cars in the city of Los Angeles.

I snap out of my saddening thoughts and turn off the now steaming hot water. I step out of the shower and wrap my towel around my body. I walk into my room after taking a deep breathe to prepare myself for today. I get dressed in my neon pink 'Mrs.Malik' t-shirt. I pair the shirt with a pair of distressed light-wash skinny jeans. I do my makeup very casual. I straightened my normally wavy blonde hair. I changed my iPhone 5s case from aztec print to a Zayn case just to please him. And it matches my shirt.

I go into Olivia's room to check her progress. I come in to find her wearing a purple t-shirt that says 'Mrs.Horan' on it. Olivia has been a Niall girl since day one and I have been a Zayn girl ever since day one. She paired her shirt with a pair of white skinny jeans. She barely put on any makeup and curled her brown hair to perfection. We brought a few One Direction posters, their three albums, and their book for them to sign. We made sure that our phones are fully charged. We each slip on a pair of grey vans and head out the door.

We arrive at the signing in about ten minutes. We see the same girl in line again, Skylar. She waves us over and tells us that she has saved a spot for us. Olivia and I jump in line right next Skylar. The long line starts moving and all three of us realize that we are almost at the front.

-

Olivia, Skylar, and I reach the front of the line in a breeze. All five boys recognize me right away.

"HI TAYLOR!" they all practically scream at the top of their lungs. I told them each 'hi' in a normal voice while handing them my items for them to sign. I notice Zayn not signing anything and I turn to face him. I see him 'checking me out' and I feel heat in my cheeks. He just smiles and starts signing my items. They all then get out of their seats to take pictures with me. I am in the middle. Zayn is right next to me on my left, with Louis next to him. Liam is right next to me on my right, with Niall and Harry. I take a normal, smiling picture with them. The next picture we take, I go to kiss Zayn's cheek. Instead, he turns at the same time, on purpose, and kisses my lips. I am caught off guard, but I end up kissing back. I seethe flash of the camera go off. Zayn and I both pull away. We smile and blush at each other. Before I am about to leave, he winks at me and points at my phone which is now in the palm of my hand. I check the notifications and it says that I have one new text message from Zayn. I look at it, smile, and nod my head, signaling I had gotten it.

I stand to the side while waiting for Skylar and Olivia. I open up the message that Zayn had sent me.

From Zayn; Sorry about that.. Meet up after the signing, yeah? Text me your address or I'll let you know where the hotel is at so we can hangout. Oh! And just letting you know, you will pretty much be at least Twitter famous after the kiss... Sorry again, love! Xx Zayn (;

I text Zayn my address. Right as I was putting my phone away, Olivia and Skylar walk up to me.

"Oh. My. God. What the absolute fuck just happened between you two?!" Olivia asks dramatically while laughing a bit.

"Wellll........ To be honest, I don't even know myself." I say, being completely honest.

"Well I sure as hell know that he doesn't kiss all of his fans!" Olivia raises her voice in giggles. Skylar is just standing there, staring at us, laughing.

"Yeah, he doesn't." I am blushing so much right now.

"You SO kissed back! Is he a good kisser?" Skylar and Olivia both question in anticipation.

"WAY better than good." I say as if it was an obvious answer.

All three of us walk out of Barnes&Noble and into the frozen yogurt place next door. I take out my phone and scroll through my Twitter timeline. I see the picture of Zayn and I kissing on about 100 different accounts. A bunch of the tweets said things like who is this mystery girl? or I am praying that they don't date. ZAYN IS MINE!!!!

I just ignore the hateful tweets towards me because I don't want to let it bother me. I don't want to slip into the dpression I was once in after my mother was gone.

No! I cannot think about that right now! I nned to surround my self with happy thoughts.

Roughly about thirty minutes later, we drop Skylar off at her apartment on our way to ours. I tell Olivia about Zayn coming over. She freaked with happinness. Maybe he will bring the other boys?
