It's Not Easy (Zauren)

Chapter 36: Our Day

Zayn's POV

Nothing is greater than waking up to your beautiful girlfriend everyday and seeing her smile all the time. I am one of the luckiest people alive. We're currently just staring into each other's eyes in Lauren's bed. Camila hasn't been home as much now that Austin is back in California. She's been staying with him every possible chance because the girls are going on tour in a few days. Lauren and I have decided that we are going to spend the day together. We're cutting off everybody we know today, unless there's an emergency of course. I got a hotel for us to stay in tonight. I don't know what the plan is for today but we'll just go along with it.

"We have to get out of bed eventually." Lauren conveys.

"I know we do but I love staring at your beautiful eyes and smile." I explain.

"Stop. You're making me blush." She says and gets up quickly.

"It's cute when you blush, you know?" I smirk and wrapped my arms around her waist as she looked for clothing to wear. She sighed and relaxed her head onto my shoulder. I kissed her head before letting her change and heading to my own bedroom.

I picked out a casual outfit for today. I don't think we'll be doing anything fancy. Lauren isn't that type of person. We can just sit and eat Nutella all day and she'd think it was the most romantic thing in the world. I don't hate it, I think it's adorable.

Sometimes I think that this is all a dream. Maybe I'm the one in a coma? No one as perfect as Lauren should exist. She has an intelligent mind, cares for others, loves her fans and family, shares everything, isn't afraid to speak up, defends her friends, and forgave me after all that I've done. Tell me she's real. Convince me of it. I just can't believe I'm dating one of the best girls out there. I continuously tell myself that I'm a lucky guy day after day. I don't deserve her and I know it. Somehow she thinks I do. I love her for all that she is and that'll never change no matter the distance, no matter the situation, no matter our faults.

"Zayn, are you ready? We have a long day ahead of us." I hear her husky voice call for me. I literally ran out my bedroom door and accidentally bumped into her, causing us to fall to the ground. Her infectious laugh instantly filled my ears and warmed my heart.

"Whoa, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were right outside." I apologize quickly and helped her up.

"It's okay. I have a high tolerance for pain." She giggles and clung onto my arm as we walked downstairs to say bye to everyone.

"Me too. That's why I can bare all of these tattoos. I actually want another one soon." I describe. She doesn't know that I want one that represents her and our love.

"Really? I want one too! Unfortunately I'm still a minor but that'll change in a couple of months." She smiles genuinely.

"It'll happen soon, babe." I kissed her temple and continued walking to the smell of pancakes that were found in the kitchen. It was being devoured by our lovely friends.

"I hope you all choke." Lauren jokes which causes me to laugh.

"Shut it, Laur." Alexa glares.

"Save any for us?" I asked.

"Of course! Although Niall took a few but I put it in the microwave." Ally replied.

"Thanks Ally." Lauren kissed her cheek and winked at Alexa who rolled her eyes.

After finishing our breakfast and saying bye to everyone, we decided to use the BMW as our transportation for the day. Everyone agreed since we're the only ones who actually drive it. Lauren, of course wanted to drive but I wouldn't allow it. She has her license but she got her casts off not even a month ago and I don't want to risk anything. She pouted for a while but I grabbed a hold of her hand and her façade came crumbling down.
