Ashley's  p.o.v.
It was Saturday and I woke up late this morning. It was around 10.30 a.m in the morning when I rubbed my eyes to take a quick glance at my phone. I had one message from Zayn .
( Looking at the phone )
Today , 8.30 a.m.
Zayn: I am going to pick you up at 11 a.m . Be ready  :)

I gotta get ready really fast . OH MY GOD !  I have got to do a lot of things .
Still in bed ,I was thinking how to manage half an hour to get myself ready when I realised that thinking would not get me anywhere and rushed to the bathroom.
It was already 10:55 a.m when I came out of the bathroom all freshen up . I quickly gathered my hair into a bun( as I always do)  when I heard a honk outside. I gotta say that Zayn is very punctual .
I waved at my parents  ,picked up a sandwich and rushed outside.
I was seated in Zayn's car when he said , "You're  always late , Ash."
I was not in the mood to be instructed right now so I replied ,"Good morning."

We went to Starbucks a few miles from our locality. Zayn ordered a cappuccino ( as usual) while I ate my sandwich when Zayn said ," I want to be a singer , I want my voice to be heard."
I already knew that but I kept quiet seeing the serious look on his face.
He continued, " I know ,you know that and you also know that my parents don't support me for the same . So I was thinking I will......"
I said ," Yes, you will what ? "
To which he said ," I was thinking to leave my home and go to L.A. "
"What ?" I was a bit shocked.
"Once everything is settled everyone will be with me in my favour." He said in a quite serious tone.
Being a best friend I was suppose to be with him but I gotta advice him for the good as well.
So I replied," See , I know you want to be a singer since childhood and I also know that you want this very hard. So I would suggest to talk to your parents 'bout this ."
" Do you think  I haven't tried! Leave it , What about you Ash,  what you wanna be ? You have never told me about your dreams , your aspirations ." He said.
"I want a common life , filled with love , happiness and normalcy nothing more. " I replied.
"You are so simple my dear " his tone changing to a bit humorous, " No one will marry you my dear , you simple fella."
After about 2 hours of talking , he dropped me home . I was still not sure about what Zayn is gonna do but I preferred not to talk about that . "
After  I returned home I saw my parents busy in the household chores so I went to my room and laid on my bed for a while . "Were my dreams actually very simple ?" The question circled in my head.

To be continued.......
