"What is the London Eye exactly?" I asked Candy as she applied dark eyeshadow to my eyelids.

"It's kind of just like a big ferris wheel and you can see all of London. It's beautiful." she gushed and then moved a piece of newly-dyed pink hair out of my eyes.

"Does the pink hair look okay? I liked it purple." I stated.

"I just wanted to experiment, Flower. You look absolutely gorgeous! Don't worry about anything. I know what I'm doing." she assured me and then tilted my chin up to apply light pink lipstick.

The outfit that she had picked out for me was pretty simple today. It was just a plain white t-shirt with black leggings and black boots. A long necklace hung from my neck and I had on some unique looking bracelets. The whole ensemble was very comfortable.

"I think the eyeliner is downstairs in the other bathroom. I'll go check, you just stay put." Candy announced and then left the bathroom.

I picked up the brush off the counter and brushed my pink hair. Now that I look at it, I actually like my new hair color. But I know that it won't be long before Candy decides to dye it again. She told me that since I'm so pale, she believes that any hair color would work on me.

I looked at the white t-shirt that I had yet to put back on. Candy was being a little messy with the black eyeshadow while applying it on me so she told me to take my shirt off before I got any black speckles on it. Now that my eyeshadow is finished, I might as well put it back on.

The shirt had gotten tangled in the necklace while the shirt was halfway over my head. "Need some help?" Zayn's voice startled me.

I jumped and quickly pulled my shirt over my head. "What are you doing in here?"

He turned to the mirror and ran his fingers through his dark quiff. "Checking to see if you're ready. I'm getting bored waiting."

"Patience is a virtue, Zayn." I puckered my pink lips and blew him a kiss.

Zayn laughed. "Very cute." he complimented and I giggled in response. I honestly had no idea where that kiss came from but I'm glad I did it. I like seeing this side of Zayn; the friendly side.

"So I was thinking that we would go to the London Eye later at night. The whole thing lights up which should be pretty cool." he explained and I nodded, trying not to look him in the eye. I feel like if I send him the wrong kind of vibe, he'll pounce and try to be 'intimate' with me again.

"We could go get something to eat, walk around a bit, see Big Ben, walk around this lake I know nearby, eat some dinner, and then go to the London Eye." Zayn informed me. I just nodded and continue to look in the mirror and not actually at him.

"Is, uh, Candy coming with us?" I asked. I don't know why. I already knew the answer would be no but I just hoped that she would come. I don't want to be alone with Zayn for a full day.

"No, of course not. Why? Are you embarrassed to be seen with me in broad daylight?" he joked but I kept my head down. "Why do you always do that?" he suddenly asked.

"Do what?" I nonchalantly asked.

He talked to my reflection in the mirror. "You don't ever look at me unless I make you. Am I unappealing to the eye or something?"

I tried my hardest not to laugh but a smile cracked through. Zayn noticed and he poked my cheek. "C'mon Flower. You know you wanna laugh. I'm a funny guy, you've gotta admit." I crossed my arms over my chest, remaining silent and then his fingers slowly ran down my sides. "What if I do...this!" he began tickling my sides and I squirmed and squealed.
