Chapter 19

Niall's POV

Ever since we left the hospital, my parents had been acting super weird. They acted like kids. Laughing and whispering about everything they saw. It was annoying as fuck! I hoped they could calm down before dinner because that would be super embarrassing for Zayn to witness. Of course, my hopes weren't answered because we just drove up to the restaurant and they were still acting like that.

"We're here!" My mum shouted. I'm sure she didn't need to be that loud. I mean, I can see the restaurant right in front of me. I'm not blind anymore. We all go out of the car and went to the front doors.

As soon as we walked in, I saw the most handsome man standing there talking to the hostess. This was a nice place to eat, so we had to dress up a bit. I wondered why they picked this place but I wasn't complaining. I loved how Zayn looked dressed up.

I left my parents behind and walked up behind Zayn. I wrapped my arms around him and he jumped in surprise. He turned to look at me, smiling warmly.

"Hi there, love." He said and planted a sweet kiss on my cheek. The lady then told us to follow her to our table that was in the back of the place. This whole place was very rich looking and romantic. I would like this place better if my parents weren't here.

We were seated and we all ordered drinks and our food. I was sitting next to Zayn and my parents were sitting across from us.

           I slowly slid one of my hand that was on my lap to Zayn's hand, intertwining our fingers together. He was talking to my dad about a football game that was on recently. He looked over at me and smiled, squeezing my hand a bit. I smiled and looked down at the table. He just made so many warm feelings erupt inside of me.

           After we got our dinner and almost finished, Zayn seemed to get freaked out by something. He excused himself to go to the bathroom, I just watched as he got up, taking a deep breath. I hope he wasn't thinking about cutting or his family or something. I don't want my parents to see him like that.

            "You okay, Niall?" My mum asked.

           "Yeah, just Zayn's acting really strange." She shrugged, then continued to eat. I looked back to the direction of the bathroom and saw Zayn walking back to our table. He looked flustered. I was beginning to think he just jacked himself off in the bathroom. I shook the thought from my mind as he as he sat down. He looked at me and kissed my cheek again. Maybe he just got drunk in those short minutes he was gone.

             "Zayn, are you feeling alright? You're being really different." I whispered in his ear.

           "Yeah, I'm fine but I would be even better if you could answer something for me." He said out loud. I looked at him confused, then looked at my parents to see they were just smiling. Why was I so out of the loop?!

          "Okay?" I said very confused by everyone one around me. Maybe I was the drunk one?

           "You know how much I love you, right?" I nodded, looking at Zayn in the eyes. "The day we first met on the street, I didn't know how fast you would worm your way into my heart. I didn't think anyone could, but you did it. Looking back at myself, I could tell something was always missing. Now I know what that something was and it's you. I never want you to be missing from me again. You stole my heart in a short amount of time, now I want to make you completely mine. So Niall..." I had tears in my eyes as he stood up and walked around to stand on the other side of me. He pulled a black box out of his pocket and kneeled on one knee. I gasped and covered my mouth.

          "Will you be mine forever? Will you marry me?" He asked opening the box to a beautiful ring. I jumped out of my chair, straight into his arms.

          "Yes! Yes, I will. God, I love you." I told him as he stood up with me in his arms. I held him so tight, I'm not even sure he could breath. He moved his head, bringing one hand up to cup my cheek.

           "I love you so much." Then he leaned in and kissed me with so much love, tears started falling from my eyes. He actually loved me and I could feel it. We pulled apart just looking in each others eyes. We were the only two people in this whole world. Well, it felt like it until we heard my mum sobbing and we both looked over at her.

           "I'm sorry, this is just so cute!" She cried. We all chuckled at her. Zayn tapped my arm and I looked over at him. He pulled the ring out of its box, setting the box on the table. He grabbed my left hand and slid the ring onto me finger. It fit perfectly. I looked at it, then kissed him again.

           "Thank you so much." I whispered in his ear. He just shook his head and pulled my chair out for me to sit again.

          "I love you." He whispered in my ear when he sat back down. I don't think I could ever stop smiling. All the times I thought I would never get married and never find someone to love me, were just proven wrong. I was loved by someone and now I was engaged to the person I love more than anything. 

           We left the restaurant, me and Zayn walking hand in hand, smiling like idiots I couldn't get over the fact he actually did this. He walked me to my car and stood outside of it, pulling me into hi arms. We stood like that for a long time before we let go just to look at each other.

          "I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked. I nodded kissing him softly. He opened my door to let me into the car.

           "See you tomorrow." I told him. With us, it was never a goodbye, just a see you tomorrow or see you later. And if we did say bye, we would call each other up when we got home just to say see you later.

           He closed my door and walked to his car, but looking back at me one more time. A huge smile still plastered on his face.

           As we started driving home I kept looking at the ring on my finger. I slid it off and noticed something I hadn't before. It had words inside the band.

         My forever

         I smiled and nodded to myself. He was my forever and I was his. Not even death could break us apart.
