I'm Broken {Harry Styles}

Chapter 8

| Lacey's POV |

I was fixing up my makeup when I heard a knock on the door. I grabbed my purse and threw in a container of foundation in case it starts to wear off.

"Hey Zayn," I smiled and said as I opened the door.

"Hey, you look lovely, as always," he said. I was wearing a black and white striped shirt with light wash skinny jeans and brown combat boots.

"Thanks, you look great too," I said and smiled. He was wearing a white muscle tank with a sleeveless jean jacket on with black skinny jeans and sneakers. He leaned in and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. It wasn't a peck but it also wasn't a full on make-out session, even so it left me with butterflies all throughout my system.

"You all ready?" He asked.

"Yup," I shut the door behind me and locked it before Zayn grabbed my hand and led me over to the car. He opened my door for me and then jogged around the front of the door to get to the driver's side.

"Do you like Italian food?" He questioned.

"Yeah, it's my favorite," I answered.

"Good, I know this really great Italian place we can go to."

"Coolio Julio," I said while twirling my hair in between my fingers. Zayn just laughed and then turned on the radio. It was on a top 40's channel so there was a blur of Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran and a bunch of others until we got to the restaurant. Once again Zayn opened my door door me and held my hand while leading me inside. He intertwined our fingers while we were walking towards the door.

"Hello, two for dinner?" The hostess asked.

"Yeah, I had a reservation for Zayn Malik," he replied. The hostess, who's name tag read Grace, showed us to a somewhat secluded table in the back. I thanked her and we both sat down on opposite sides of the booth.

"This place looks lovely," I spoke out.

"Yeah, the food is magnificent." I looked over the menu to see that everything was super expensive.

"Wow, this all costs quite a bit," I did a small chuckle at the end of my statement.

"Don't worry about the price, I got it," Zayn smiled up at me.

"Are you sure? I can pay for myself if it's too much?"

"No, Lacey, this is a date. Of course I'm going to pay for your food." I sighed and agreed, looking for the cheapest thing they had to offer.

The waiter came up to our table and said, "Hello, my name's Ryan-Lacey?"

"Oh my god! Ryan! How are you?" I asked, this was Meg's boyfriend.

"I've been really good, it seems like forever since I've seen you," he replied.

"Yeah, I know. Oh, right, Zayn this is my friend's boyfriend, Ryan. Ryan this is my boyfriend, Zayn," I introduced them.

"Hey," Zayn said and shook Ryan's hand.

"Hey," he replied. "You, Zayn, me and Meg should go on a double date sometime."

"Yeah, I'd love that! I'll talk to Meg about it at work tomorrow," I replied.

"Alright, so you guys know what you want to drink?" He asked.

"I'm fine with water, thanks."

"Could I have a Coke?"

"Sure thing," Ryan said and walked away.

I smiled at Zayn and said, "Sorry about that, but Ryan's a really nice guy, I'm sure you'll like him."

"Yeah, he seemed really nice. How long have him and your friend, Meg was it? been dating?"

I thought about it before saying, "Maybe five months now? Six? I'm not really sure, but they're pretty serious."

"Oh, that's nice." We both looked down at our menus and then after a little searching I decided to get the chicken parmesan. Ryan soon came back with Zayn's drink and we placed our orders.

"Any interesting work stories?" I asked Zayn, while we were at Liam's house I found out that he worked at a crisis line and helped the people who called in.

He just shrugged and said, "I helped someone put out a grease fire in their kitchen?" he said it as more of a question.

"Thats great! Their house could have burned down," I praised. "How do you put out a grease fire, anyways?"

"You pour baking soda on it," He simply replied. I nodded in understanding.

"So did anything exciting happen at your work today?" He asked.

"I had to wash dishes."

"Really? Why?"

"Our dish guy cut his thumb while washing a knife."

"Ouch, did he need stitches or anything?"

"Yeah he got five," Right as I said that Ryan came with our meals.

"Here's your chicken parm," he set down my food. "And heres your Alfredo," he set down Zayn's food. "If you guys need anything else just let me know." We smiled up at him and he smiled back then walked away. We both immediately dug into our food.

"Oh my god, this is the best thing I have ever tasted," I practically moaned.

"Mhm," Zayn replied, with his mouth full of food.

"It's like I'm having an orgasm in my mouth," I sighed. Zayn laughed out loud at this and I soon followed. We finished our meal, making some small talk here and there and Zayn paid and then we left. The car ride was pretty much the same as it was on the way there, except this time Zayn held my hand and left it on my lap. As we pulled up to my house Zayn looked over and smiled at me.

"I had a really great time tonight," he said.

"Me too, but next time we should do something more fun, like sledding!" I exclaimed. Zayn just laughed quietly.

"You know, I really like you, Lacey," He started leaning in closer.

"And I really like you," I replied. he leaned in even closer and i moved to meet him halfway. The kiss started out delicate and careful, but soon transformed into one of lust. He licked my bottom lip and I opened my mouth, giving him entrance. Our tounges mingled around inside our mouths. I reached my arms up and held them behind his head, playing with the hair on the back of his neck. One of his hands hooked around my back and I felt the other slowly slide up my thigh. His hand kept sliding higher and higher until it almost reached my crotch. I quickly pulled away from the kiss and stared at him with wide eyes.

"Um," I mumbled. "I should probably get going," I brushed my hair behind my ears and unbuckled my seatbelt.

"Sorry, I know we've only been dating for around a week, I just got caught in the moment," He apologized.

"I know, it's fine. It's just that I haven't ever done anything like that before and I dont know if I'm ready," I sighed.

"That's totally okay, whenever you're ready, I'm ready," He replied and my heart lurched at how sweet he was being.

"Thanks for tonight and just, everything," I gave him a quick peck on the lips and walked out of the car and into my house.
