When I woke up the next morning it felt like I had just closed my eyes. I had finished talking to Harry and put Cole back to sleep around 6 in the morning. I got out of bed and turned off my alarm. I went into Coles room and saw him still sleeping. I decided to get ready before waking him up.
When I had finished putting my make up on my mom poked her head into my room to tell me she was up and that she would get Cole ready for the day. I told her that he had a fever last night and that he might still be sick.
I sent Zayn a text, reminding him to pick me up at my school so we could go to the restaurant together.
…
I was sitting in my first class and got a message from Zayn telling me that he was excite and he would meet me at the south end of my school, a short walk from the room I was in now.
While I was sitting there taking notes on what the professor was saying, I started to get nervous. I could feel the butterflies building in my stomach, and I started biting my lip. All I could think about was the things that could go wrong, I was psyching myself out for something that I should be excited for.
…
The professor dismissed us, I gathered my things and looked at my phone as I walked out the door. Zayn had sent me a text to call him when I got out of the class.
“Hey” he said, adding to the nerves I already had
“I’m just leaving class now, are you here?”
“Yeah” he said and then told me where he was parked.
I hung up and walked outside. When I got out there I saw a few girls standing not to far from where Zayn said he parked. They were whispering, giggling and pointing to the direction where I was heading.
As I approached the car that Zayn told me he was in I saw a figure with a hood on get out. When I got closer Zayn pulled his hood down, I could hear some gasps from behind me.
“Hey” he said pulling me into a tight huge and kissing me on the forehead.
I pulled apart and he opened the door for me. I smiled at him and got into the passenger seat.
Pulling away from the school I noticed the crowed the had formed. “Oh look we’ve got our own paparazzi” I said as he laughed.
…
We were now sitting in the restaurant that I had decided on.
“So how has you’re week off been going?” I asked him
“Pretty good. I’ve been spending a lot of time with my mom and sisters” he said taking a bite of his food. “Have you and Louis been hanging out?” he asked after he swallowed
“Yeah kind of. Like at night because during the day I have classes.” I explained
“When do classes end?” he asked
“About a month from now, then I get a month long break, I’m so excited”
We talked for a little bit more. I felt my phone vibrate and I looked down to see I had a text from my mom. ‘Cole still has a fever, just wanted to let you know. Have fun on your date!’ she said. I sighed to myself and put my phone away. I didn’t want the date to end but I wanted to get home to Cole.
I looked up to see Zayn giving me a concerned look. “Everything okay?” he asked sweetly
“Yeah, sorry my mom just texted me” I said, putting a smile on my face, hoping the subject would be dropped.
“What day are you going back toLondon?” I asked changing the topic.
“I think Saturday, but I’m not sure yet, I think I’m gonna talk to the other guys”
“So I think I’m gonna try to come up and visit more often” I said looking at him
“Oh really? And why is that?” he joked
“Well you know, there is this guy, I really wanted to visit him. You might know him” I teased
“Oh do I?” he said back
“Yeah his name is Niall Horan, he has great food!” I laughed
Zayn pouted kiddingly “I’m just kidding. But seriously I do think I am gonna try to come up more often”
“I would love that! And I have an idea” he said
“Whats that?” I asked
“Well how about we make date number 3 tomorrow?” he said slyly
“I only have a morning class, do I think that that sounds amazing”
He smiled and said “It’s a date!”
When he said that I felt relief. I had been nervous that the lunch today was boring. But, we hadn’t run out of things to talk about, which was great. At least now I was less nervous for tomorrow. Talking with Zayn was just natural. Nothing ever felt forced, and I never had to pretend to be interested in anything.
When we were leaving the restaurant he intertwined our fingers. I looked up at him and smiled. “You look beautiful by the way” he said
“Thank you! you look pretty dashing yourself”
When we got to the car he opened the door for me again. “You’re such a gentleman Malik!” he smiled and said “I try” while closing the door.
The ride back to school was short. And when he parked the car I started to dread getting out. I really liked being with Zayn, and now I didn’t want to go to class at all.
We both sat there, not wanting this date to end. I looked at my phone and saw that my class started in twenty minutes.
“So I guess I should get going, have to walk all the way across the quad” he said with a sigh.
“How about I walk you?” he suggested.
“Are you sure, there’s a lot of people, they migh-”
He cut me off “Let them stare, who cares, I want to spend time with you before I have to go back.”
Before I could respond he was opening my door for me. “Lead the way” he said taking m hand
I grabbed my bag out of the car and started walking towards to big buildings.
He put one hand around my back and pulled me close to him. I put my head on his shoulder and wrapped my arm around him.
People were looking at us, some in envy and some in disgust. A few girls were taking pictures and they were freaking out. “This is so nice, it makes me wish I went to school” he said.
“Oh trust me, I think I would rather be touring the world and making an album than go here. I am more excited to graduate”
He laughed. When we got to the room I had class in he took his arm off of me and turned to face me. “I’m excited for tomorrow”
“I am too, I wish I didn’t have class right now” I said looking down.
He put his finger under my chin and lifted it up. He then put his hand lightly on my cheek and kissed me on the cheek. “It’s okay, I have to get home anyway. I’ll see you tomorrow” he said leaving me there with a huge smile on my face.
