Arrest Me (Mature ZM)

Chapter 17

We got to a small café and Zayn opened the door for me. The overpowering smell of food made my mouth water. Zayn guided us over to a small table in the corner and I sat down. “I’m going to go get us menus.” I nodded and watched him walk away. Everything he did was sexy.

The café was relatively small but it was very quaint. A few other people sat inside the café, most of them were doing work or reading a book. One of the walls of the café was completely brick and had cute paintings on it. The other walls of the café were a pretty yellow shade.

Zayn came back over to me and handed me a menu. I took it and looked it over as he sat down and started looking it over. I settled on a turkey BLT with avocado and a lemonade but Zayn was still looking.

I interlocked my feet in his and he looked up with a small smirk. I watched him as he scanned the menu for food. His brow was furrowed in concentration. He put his menu down a minute later. “What are you gonna get?”

“A turkey BLT with avocado and lemonade,” I smiled. He got up, kissed my cheek, and walked to the counter to go order.

I listened to the soft music and watched Zayn as he ordered. A cute girl came to the counter and was giving Zayn a few flirty glances but he never acknowledged them. He came back a minute later with my lemonade and a water for himself.

He sat down across from me and kissed my hand softly. “That girl up there was staring at you…” I smirked as I sipped my lemonade.

“I only have eyes for you,” He smiled and held both of my hands. I blushed and dipped my head down. “So do you want to go shopping around here? There are a lot of cute boutiques…”

“Sure,” I smiled. “Don’t you have work today?”

“I called in and cancelled so I could spend the day with you,” He smiled sweetly.

“Aw,” I giggled and winked at him.

Our food came a minute later and we both dug in without talking. Zayn ended up getting the same thing as me and we both really enjoyed it. This had to be the perfect day so far. I couldn’t think of doing anything else that would make it perfect.

When we finished our sandwiches, Zayn went up to the counter and bought us a giant, warm cookie. We walked out of the café hand in hand as I ate the cookie. I moved it over to Zayn and he took a large bite.

“Hmm…is there a lingerie shop around here?” I smirked and Zayn chuckled softly.

“I’ll buy you anything you want,” He smiled and held the door of a shop open for me. We both were embraced by the warm air of the large shop. “I want to buy you a ring…”

“A…ring?” I gasped.

He shook his head with a laugh, “Not an engagement ring.” A wave of relief washed over me. I did not want to be engaged or even married at this point in my life. “Or a necklace or bracelet. I want to buy you something.”

“Zayn…” I sighed but he squeezed my hand.

“My treat,” He smiled as we walked over to one of the jewelry counters. The room was all wood paneled and had a very expensive look to it. The buzz that is usually in jewelry stores hummed in the background. I started looking at all of the jewelry and everything was so pretty. “See anything you like?” The jewelry lady was helping someone else so we were by ourselves.

I thought about what I could get that could mean something to Zayn as well. I knew his birthday was January and his birthstone was garnet. I looked for a red necklace and I found a perfect one. “This one.” I smiled and pointed at a pretty one. It was a pear shaped red stone with diamonds around the edge.
