Zayn Malik Fanfic: Fall for you

Chapter Four:

Scarlett

My mobile rang. I ignored it. I wasn’t in the mood to pick it up. It rung again.

‘Hello?’ I said slightly annoyed.

‘Babe, did I wake you up? Where did you get to last night?! Did you go home with that fit as tanned British guy that was talking to you?’

‘I guess you could say that.’

‘Oooh! What happened?’

‘Nothing, he just walked me to my door and said ‘goodnight.’

‘Okay! Well I was just making sure you’re okay. See you tomorrow!’

I hung up the phone. If only she knew about last night’s events. I was slightly nervous about last night. I was scared about what the outcome could’ve been but I was also scared about what I’d say to Zayn tonight. I had to make it up to him. I got up quickly, got changed and headed out to my car. I needed coffee. I drove to the nearest Starbucks and ordered a strong black. I inhaled the aroma of the coffee beans and felt instantly relaxed as my shoulders dropped from the uptight position they were in before. I was stressed, but wasn’t entirely sure what about. It was either about last night, or our date tonight. For some reason I felt nervous. I had a feeling he wouldn’t like me after he gets to know me. I mean, but it’s not like I care or anything.

Zayn

I woke up to the strong smell of greasy McDonalds. I slowly blinked my eyes open, to see Niall sitting at the foot of my bed smashing down a burger.

‘Mate! Why’d you leave so early last night?’ Niall questioned, his broad Irish accent filling the room.

‘Ah, just wanted to see Scarlett home that’s all.’ I said as the thoughts of that dirty man trying to lay his hands on Scar flooded my mind.

‘That the girl you’ve been chasing after?’ Niall replied.

‘It sure is.’ I said.

Scarlett

I slipped out of the shower and wrapped my robe around me. I stood cluelessly in front of my wardrobe. It’s funny how you can have hundreds of pieces of clothing but still not find anything to wear. I finally found something: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=55642240. I step out of my hotel room, feeling a lot better than I did this morning. I walked down the lobby and found him already waiting for me. Once again he had his back turned, and he was talking to his blonde headed friend. His blonde headed friend looked up at me and just stared. I felt conscious. Zayn followed his gaze and stared at me the whole way as I walked down the steps. He hit his friend in the chest and told him to round up the car, but unusually not taking his eyes off of me as he said it.

‘Scarlett.’ He said in his broad british accent, whilst smiling.

‘Hi Zayn.’ I smiled in return.

‘You look beautiful.’ He said, whilst looking me up and down.

I laughed softly. ‘Thank you.’

‘So, what have you got in mind for our date tonight?’ I questioned raising an eyebrow whilst smirking.

He laughed. ‘You’ll see.’ He replied with a wink.

‘Zayn, the car’s here.’ I heard an unfamiliar irish voice yell over to Zayn.

‘After you’ Zayn proceeded as he put his hand on my lower back.

He opened the limo door for me and let me in.

Zayn

‘So, I’ve noticed that your accent isn’t from around here.' He hinted in the car.

‘Yeah, I’m from Australia. I moved here just recently.’ She replied

‘Really? I love Australia. It’s so beautiful. And apparently from what I’ve seen the people are too.’ I hinted whilst smirking. I looked over to her, she looked down with a grin spread across her face.

‘Mr. Malik. We’ve arrived.’

Scarlett

He got out of the car and opened my door open for me.

I felt a big pair of soft hands place themselves over my eyes.

‘What are you doing?’ I said whilst laughing.

‘It’s a surprise.’ He replied.

It felt as if he led me up about 100 stairs. We finally reached our destination and he removed his hands. There was a two person table before me. Lit by candles over looking the beautiful lights of London city. There was a waiter awaiting our requests.

‘Wow. Zayn, this is beautiful.’ I exclaimed.

‘Well, I figured you weren’t from around here and I wanted to show you the best.’

‘I mean, you know whatever. It’s alright I guess..’ I said looking unimpressed.

I looked over to him and started laughing.

He laughed.

‘Sh you.’ He said, while pulling out my chair signaling me to take a seat.

I looked over the edge of the building and the view was unbelievable. I glanced over to the waiter to see that it was the same curly haired boy that approached me for Zayn. We talked. We talked about my move here from Australia. My career. Our likes and dislikes. Music.

‘So many questions Mr. Malik’

‘I’m sorry. I just find you very interesting.’

‘No, I like the questions. But enough about me. Tell me about yourself!’

We talked about him being in a band with his four best friends, his family and his culture, and music. Once we’d finished dinner, I expected the limo to come pick us up. In the corner of my eye, I saw a huge red, double decker bus coming towards us and stopped right in front of us.

‘Hop on’ Zayn said, leading me on, touching my lower back again. I looked at him surprised. We hopped onto the top deck. ‘So, where are we going?’ I asked curiously.

‘You deserve to see London up close, not just from a building.’ He said, blushing a little.

We were standing near the edge, he stood next to me and we were overlooking the city.

‘Wow. It’s so beautiful’ I said slightly surprised.

‘Yeah. She really is.’ He said. I felt his brown orbs on me.

I glanced over, to see that he was staring at me.

‘Um, I mean yeah it is beautiful.’ He said whilst clearing his throat. He was blushing bad.

Zayn

‘Caught out. Someone a little red yeah?’ She said teasingly.

‘Hey now. Don’t start that eh?’ I said with a wink. I looked over to her several times whilst on the bus trip. The way the lights illuminated her cheek bones and shone from behind her, creating shine through her beautiful brown locks. When she looked  at me, through those long lashes and those brown eyes were fixated on me, that really made me weak in the knees. No one had ever had this affect on me before.

It was now 12.30 am. We’d only just gotten back to the hotel.

‘I’ll walk you up to your room. I mean, only if you want me to?’ I asked.

‘I’d like that.’ She said softly whilst smiling.

We reached her room. ‘I had an amazing time tonight, Scarlett’

‘As did I Zayn. Thank you.’

‘No worries. Anytime’ I grinned.

‘I also want to thank you for last night too. I don’t know what would’ve happened if you didn’t come in.’ She thanked appreciatively.

‘It’s fine honestly. I’m just glad you’re okay.' I smiled.

‘Okay, well goodnight I guess.’ She said.

‘I’ll see you soon then?’ He asked.

‘I’ll see you soon then.’ I replied.
