Love is Real (Zayn Malik fanfic)

chapter 12

***The next day***

Jasmines P.O.V

I was paying this months rent when Shy walked in my room.

"Hey Jaz, whatcha up to?"

I looked up from my laptop and looked at her.

"Nothing much just paying this months bills." I say.

"Oh yeah!" she says suddenly, "I have been meaning to ask you about something relating to that."

"Ok..what is it?" I ask confused. She sits down next to me on my bed.

"Well the apartment is about $1200 a month..." she said.

"Yess....." I say, urging her to go on.

"Well...you work at starbucks, which I'm sure that doesn't pay $1200..." she said, trailing off again.

"Yeah...it doesn't." I said still not knowing where she was going with this.

"So..before I was your roomate...How did you pay the rent?" she asked.

"Well...I'm also a dancer."

She froze.

"You're a stripper?!" she asked surprised.

I gasped. "WHAT?! NO!" I said surprised at her responce.

"I'm an actual dancer. Like hip-hop, ballet, you know that kind!"

"OHHH!" she said laughing. "I thought you meant something else!" she exclaimed.

"Yeaahh, I knoow, I could tell by your responce." I said joining in with her laughter. After we calmed down, she asked,

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well I am not very good so I didn't know how long me being a dancer would last." I told her honestly.

"Pssh! Yeah right! Show me some moves!" she said standing up and shaking her butt. I burst out laughing, and stood up from my bed. I began walking out of my room.

"HEEEY!! Where are you going?! Show me some moves!!" she shouted. I laughed again.

"Uhhhh...No!" I said smiling, and then left my room.

********

Zayn's P.O.V

"Haaaarry!" I shouted from the top of the gazebo.

"Yeaah!" he yelled back, still untangling a strand of lights.

"I need another strand!" I yelled, as I finished arranging the lights around a beam.

"Working on it!" he yelled back, still untangling them.

I sighed and was consumed by my thoughts as I waited for Harry to finish. It's weird how I planned Jasmine and I's date around things that I am normally scared of. Heights, Water, and the dark had somehow mixed themselves into my plans, but for her I was willing to do it.

"Here." Harry said climbing the ladder and handing me another strand of lights.

"Ya know.." he said breathing heavily from the climb up the ladder, " This is a really amazing idea...*breathe*....but I'm sure taking her to a movie theather would have been easier."

" It might be easier," I said arranging the light strand, "but I wanna make it special....because she's worth all this and more."

There was a short silence before Harry broke it by yelling,

"Awwwe Zaynie!!!!" he said with a cheeky smile. "Zaynie and Jasmine sittin' in a..." I pretended to push the ladder.

"Whoa!Whoaa!" he said. I gave him a look.

"Fine, I'll stop." he said climbing down the ladder. Once he reached the bottom though, he continued the song.

I let out a sigh, as I continued with the lights.
