For a change, I knock on Zayn's door. He answers it almost immediately. The scent that pours out of his apartment is not what I expected. I expected heavy cologne and incense. Instead, it smells of cinnamon and peppermint.
"Good afternoon, Tessa. What do I owe your visit?" He leans against his doorframe and I try not to get lost in his eyes.
"I was wondering some things. Perhaps we can spend Christmas together, since neither of us plan on going and home for the holidays and since we don't have any family around here I just thought that it would be nice to have some company on such a-"
He cuts me off, "That'd be lovely. What did you have in mind?"
"Well, I don't know. Maybe we could just go out of dinner, or walk in the park." I suggest.
"That'd be great. Thank you Tessa." He smiles and I get the hint that he's do e with this conversation. I don't know why I don't feel welcome right now. Maybe he's never had a girl see his apartment, or maybe he does in fact have plans for Christmas but doesn't want me to be alone.
I back away from the door as he closes it softly. I guess I won't know.
Christmas is in exactly two weeks. I figured I better hurry and make plans before something came up.
I don't even have any family to spend the holidays with, but I don't know if Zayn does or not.
Maybe he'll tell me. I've got two weeks to find out.
