Chapter Eleven: Aquarium.

chapter 11 aquarium

Leoni's POV

I'm sat on the couch, blowing cold air onto my freshly painted nails, wanting them to dry as soon as possible. I absolutely hate waiting for nail polish to dry; I just want to get on with my life and the fact that my nails are covered in liquid and might smudge any second does not make it fair on me.

It's a nude colour and it looks like my nails are a part of my skin, making me giggle.

"What's so funny?" Zayn's body appears in the doorframe.

"Look!" I lift my hand up and point at my nails.

"Because they look hilarious Leoni..." He is beyond confused.

"Whatever, you're not a girl, you don't get it..."

"But you don't wish I was a girl now, do you Leo?" He winks and I chuckle. My boyfriend's so dirty minded, it's mind blowing. He would even find those two works rude. He's like a teenager who's stuck in an young adult's body.

"Babyy..." He moans, "What are you doing today?"

"I don't know Zaynie." I respond, blowing on my nails, "What do you wanna do?" I blow air into my cheeks and pull a funny face.

"Stop that, you're too adorable already!" He comes up to me and kisses my temple, "Wanna go out somewhere? I'm definitely not spending another night stuck at home, thank you very much. Even if that means that I get to have wonderful sex with you."

"Ouch, that hurt!"

"I'm sorry boo, forgive me!" He fake-cries.

When my nails finally dry, I go to my room and pick my outfit out. Maja isn't home so she's not available to help me choose what to wear. I'm on my own this time.

I move the hangers and look through piles of clothes before I find my white Monki Trudy jumper. I throw my current top off and remaining in my bra, I put the jumper on, it reaching just above my hips. Opening my cupboards, I find a mini skirt in the colour of bright papaya and put that on after I take off my jeans. It sits on my waist so it's a perfect match to the jumper.

When I go back to the living room, Zayn is already twirling his car keys in his fingers, dressed and waiting for me. He stands up and embraces me in a hug, giving me a kiss on the lips. Before we walk out, I quickly put on my combat boots and grab a random handbag from the chair in the corridor, throwing my house keys, phone and credit card in there.

Soon, almost too soon for my liking, we're on a motorway and Zayn picks a random junction. I can tell that he has no idea where we are by the look on his face. His hand is placed on my right knee, massaging softly, humming along to I Won't Give Up which is playing on the radio.

Somehow, we end up in a small town or maybe a village and there's almost no cars around us. All I can see is local people travelling by bikes or foot, crossing the roads.

Zayn slows down and begins to look around, "Fuck." He mutters.

"You lost us."

"No I did not."

"Did too."

"Leo..."

"No, no, I know where we are..." He slowly says and fades out, "Look! There's an aquarium!"

"An aquarium?" I repeat.

"Y-yeah, that's where I wanted to take you!" He cheers and parks the car.

"Oh really Zaynie?"

"Yes, Leoni. This was my plan. I was just acting lost to fool you."

"You're a bad actor." I point out.
