I'm pretty sure that my eyes are the sizes of plates and my mouth wide open because the sight in front of me is unbelievable. Right in front of me, there's pillows of different sizes laid on the ground. It was placed under a huge tree. Fairy lights were twirled around the branches of the tree and some are left dangling.In between the pillows, there's like an artificial tree roots and top of it has a picnic basket.
I felt a hand went under my chin and closed my mouth lightly, making me snap out of my daze. I look at Zayn questionally. He just smile and pulled my hand towards the picnic area. We both sat down in front of each other. I imemediately grab one small pillow and laid it on my lap as I cross my legs. He pulled the basket closer to us and took out the ingredients one by one.
Soon we were surrounded with foods and fruits that were brought by him. There's was ham and cheese sandwiches, egg sandwiches, 2 chocolate muffins, potato chips and different kinds of fruits that's been chopped into little pieces. Finally, he pulled out 2 glass bottles of Snapple, one is apple flavour another is raspberry. "Zayn," I broke the silence. "What is going on?" He shook his head, not answering my question. But instead, he stood up and went near the tree. He bend down and switch something on and suddenly the whole tree is bright up by the fairy lights. It's even more beautiful as the day becomes darker. He sat back down next to me as he looks at my face. I followed his actions and notice how his eyes lights up the same as the fairy lights.
"I want to apologize to you for being as ass. For not treating you right as my best friend."
"You don't have to do all this, Zayn. I'm perfectly fine with how you are recently."
"But I want to do this." He dropped the topic as he opens the tupperware filled with the sandwiches. We started eating and just have random talks in between. Bringing up the past and also what we will do in the future. Soon it was dark enough that the stars came out to play in the dark sky. We both lay down on the ground with our heads on top of the pillows and look up at the sky. Truthfully right now, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but with Zayn right next to me. It's the perfect day that I don't want to end.
He took out a polaroid and we started taking pictures of ourselves. Making goofy faces and smiling widely. We would also take each other's pictures, especially him. He likes to take it when I wasn't ready or most likely me being candid. But I didn't mine because the pictures turn out good. Soon, we were surrounded with the films scattered around us.
"Get up." Zayn suddenly said. He stood up and reach out his hand for me to take. I hesitantly take it and stood up. He pulled out his phone and scroll down the screen. Soon Bobby Brown's 'Every Little Step' comes on and I burst out laughing. As much as I don't want to admit it but I expect a song much slower and less catchy than that. Zayn wiggle his eyebrows at me and started dancing. Well, trying to...
His is more trying to make it to dancing and I can't help but to laugh out loud at his attempt.
"Don't make me look like an idiot all alone!" His words just makes me laugh louder. I, soon, join him and somehow we started a competition on who can dance the weirdest and it seems Zayn is in the lead. The song finally ended and Christina Perri's 'A Thousand Years' started playing but it was more instrumental so I can hear the piano more clearly.I blush deeply, silently thanking that it's dark enough to hide it from his eyes. He pulled me closer and I rest my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. One of his hands went to my waist while the other intertwined with mine. My other hand went to his shoulder. We started dancing slowly, following along to the music. At the chorus part, he started singing along to the song.
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
My heart instantly warms as he sang those words in my ears. I don't care about anything else as my mind wraps around this moment. Slowly both my hands move around his neck while his moves around my waist,pulling me closer. We were just two people hugging and dancing in circles. We stop dancing as soon as the music stop. We just stared at each other, not saying a word.
He looks so beautiful under the fairy lights. It just makes his features more sharper and his eyes shines more brighter. He runs a finger down my cheek and pull a strand of hair behind my ears. Then he cups my cheek and carressed it with his thumb. His eyes flickered from my eyes to my lips back and forth. I didn't give him any signal because I wasn't sure what I'm feeling. All I know is that I can feel my heart in my throat. His face started becoming closer and I just froze. I don't know what to do but I know it's wrong. I, suddenly, cleared my throat, breaking the moment. He pulled apart, almost immediately. I just want to bang my head in a wall if I could. I don't know why I did that?! He went over to his phone that is on one of the pillows and sat down, avoiding eye contact. Instantly I missed his warm that just surrounded me a few seconds ago.
I mentally slapped my forehead and hesitantly sat next to him. "Sorry." I mumbled. He just shook his head and lay back down on the ground. I follow him but I bravely, rest my head on his chest. Seconds later, he wraps an arm around me, making me smile and snuggled on to him. We continue watching the sky as we were accompany by songs playing from his music.
The moment was perfect and like I said, I don't want it to end. My eyelids started feeling heavy until I closed them. But not before I heard Zayn whisper, "I still love you, Lucky. And I would never let you go."
*******************************************************************************************************************
I like this sweet side of Zayn but must remember Lucky is still with Alex, who is a good boyfriend to her. I guess Zayn just step his game and has achieve in making Lucky confused with her feelings again. Thank god, she didn't kiss him because I'm sure she will regret it the next day.
I know this picnic is very cliche but it really happened to one of my friend recently and I just "Aww" ed through the story. Her story just makes me feel more sorry for myself for being single. But whatevers, I like being single so who cares, right?
I just started my work attachment for 3 months so I might not have the time to update but as soon as I get inspiration, I would straight away starts typing it down.
Thank you!
