Complicated (Zarry Fan Fiction)

Chapter 8

Zayn's POV:

She has arrived. I'm nervous, because it's my first time inviting a girl to our family dinner. I'm sure she's nervous too. As i went down the stairs, there she is. Standing near the stairs with Wali. She's wearing an indian outfit, it's my first time seeing her in such outfit. Sweet lord, she look so stunning in that and she applied some makeup, which made her look more gorgeous.

I was truly amazed on how beautiful she look tonight, and i dont think i'm in my senses. I went down and approached her.

"You look so beautiful tonight", and i kissed her cheek.

She smiled at me. I know that smile, the nervous smile. To break the tension, i lead her to the dining place.

"You're just in time for dinner. Come on", and i bring her to the seat next to mom.

She looked so nervous, i wonder what's running through her mind.

"So, this must be our guest?", Dad spoke.

"Yeah dad, she's Dina. Dina, he's my dad", i introduced them.

"Pleased to meet you. You're a Pakistani too?" Dad asked.

"Yes i am", she smiled.

I sat on the seat opposite her. She looked at me with her nervous eyes. I raised my eyebrow at her. She looked away and she's blushing.

"Help yourself. We have Chicken Biryani, some fritters, and your favourite Gulab Jamun", mom pointed to the foods and drink.

"I'm sorry we didn't cook much, we didn't have much time. And this boy invited you last minute, we had to rush", mom continued.

"It's okay auntie. They look so delicious. But how do you know Gulab Jamun is my favourite?" she asked.

"Zayn told me you love it", and then her eyes fixed on mine.

I smiled at her. She stared at me. Is she upset with me?

"So..do you have a boyfriend?", dad asked her. Why is he asking her that? If she has a boyfriend she wouldnt even be here.

"Um, no i dont", she laughed a little.

"Where do you live?", dad asked her again.

"Just opposite", she pointed.

"Yeah dad, she live just opposite us", i added.

"Really? That's amazing. We could be great neighbours", mom sounded happy.

"Of course we can", she gave an awkward smile.

It's just awesome to have her here though she didn't speak much. I understand she's a shy person, and it's her first time meeting my family. I hope she will be a part of us too, soon.

Dina's POV:

So throughout the dinner, his family members asked me personal questions. About my family, what i want to do in the future, what kind of person i want to spend my life with and etc. Zayn has 3 sisters. Doniya, Waliyha and Saafa. All three of them are as gorgeous as their mom. And Zayn is the only boy in the family.

I can't concentrate on what his parents were asking me because he is sitting exactly opposite me. Why must he sit opposite me? And, he can't keep his eyes of me. That makes it harder for me to eat. Because yeah, of course i wouldn't want to make a fool out of myself while eating in front of the boy whom i'm still in love with to be honest.

The dinner ended after an hour.

"Thanks everyone for inviting me here for this lovely dinner", i announced.

"No sweetie don't thank us, thank this boy for inviting you. It was his idea though", his dad pointed to Zayn and winked at me. And again, i smiled at him like a retard.

"Well, thanks Zayn".

"It's my pleasure, princess", he winked at me. Oh my god. I dont think i've been so awkward in my entire life. He just called me princess.

"Um and thanks auntie for the delicious food. Taste just like my mom's cooking", i looked at his mom.

"Thank you too honey. Well, do come over often okay? See you", and his mom hugged me.

I smiled and hugged her back. Waliyha, Doniya and Safaa hugged me too before letting me leave. Lastly, Zayn. He lead me out the door and shut the door behind him, leaving the two of us alone.

"Thanks for coming", he smiled.

"You invited, i couldn't say no to an invitation right? Thank you", i smiled back.

I know something is gonna happen. We are alone, in the dark. Somehow the street lights are making the atmosphere romantic.

"You look different today".

"Really?"

"Yeah, in a positive way. You look so gorgeous wearing this traditional outfit", and he take a step closer to me.

Our faces are just inches away. My heart is beating like a drum being played. It's beating too fast i think i might faint anytime.

"Thanks?", i wanted to move away but his arms are already on my waist. Oh shit, what is he up to now.

Before i could say anything, he hushed me by placing his finger on my lips. I couldn't react to that, i just can't. His lips are just inches away from mine. Just before he could place his lips on mine, i turned away.

Finally i moved.

"I can't do this", i mumbled.

"Why? You know i love you right?", he stroked my face.

"I have to go Zayn. Thanks for tonight", and i forced my body to be free from his control.

"Wait", he grabbed my arm.

"Dont", and i pulled my hand from his clutches. He looked at me confusingly.

"See you tomorrow in school. Bye", and i walked off.

I didn't dare to turn back and look at him. It hurts me to actually hurt him that way but, i have to show him that i don't like him anymore...even when i still do. So much. I love him so much.
