Kissing in the mist.

Chapter 8

"Louis do you know where my ring is!" I yelled down the stairs.

I was getting ready for my date and hell, I was nervous. I don't know why, but maybe because this was the first time we face each and have to open up about ourselves. I just didn't wanna blow this, he was something that I always wanted. Someone who would do the most romantic things, but still was had that dangerous side to him. And that's what Zayn made me feel like, he made me feel alive again.

"It's down here!" He yelled to me.

I took one last look in the mirror, I was kinda proud of how I looked, I felt confident, I felt like I could hold me head up high.

I walked down to stairs and heard something glass break.

"Louis!" I say walking over to him.

"You look amazing." His said quietly.

"Thank you! But pick up this mess you made."

I grabbed my ring and slipped it on my finger. My fingers play around with it as I wait for Zayn to arrive. I kept reading the words on my ring. 'forever grandpas darling.'
My grandpa and I were very close after my mother left. He gave me this ring before he passed.

"Haven, Zayn's here!" Lou yells from the front door.

"Coming!!" I yell grabbing my purse and walking over to the most handsome person I've ever seen.

"You look gorgeous Haven." Zayn said weaving his fingers with mine as we walk out the door.

"Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself." I say giggling. I felt like a high school girl who has been ask to homecoming.

We arrive to a beautiful restaurant off of the beach, perfect view.

Zayn & I sat on the porch, lights shining from the board walk, the waves very calming, and the most handsome man I've ever laid eyes on. What a perfect night.

"Hi I'm Lucas, I'll be your waiter for tonight." I turn around when I hear the name Lucas.

"What would you like to dri-." I cut him off before he would continue.

"Lucas!" I say smiling up at him.

He shot me a smile and mouthed 'hi haven'.

"Mr.Malik are you ready to order?" Lucas said trying not to make eye contact with Zayn.

"Not just yet, thank you." And with that Lucas was gone, he didn't even get my water.

"Mr.Malik huh?" I say smiling at him.

He flashed me a smile then looked back at the beach.

"I'm a highly respected man Haven, even though I am young. I come from a long line of respected Men, after my father died I took over his business." He said not looking at me once, only fiddling with his ring. It was a huge ring, it looked like it was an older ring. Maybe it was passed down through his family.

"What is the business?" I ask being the nosey person I am.

"Why don't we talk about that another time love. yeah?" He said placing his hand over mine.

I nodded my head, we made small talk for a while but soon enough Lucas came back with a wine in hand.

"Here you are Mr.Malik and.."

"Ms.Reed." Zayn said quietly.

He nodded his head walking away.

"So haven, how was your day?" He ask trying to make conversation.

"It was fine, my mother called." I didn't wanna bring her up, Zayn already knew my family situation, how my mom left me, my dad took me in and raised me. Now I'm here, my past is a tough road of pain and misery but I've made it through.

"What did she say?" He ask keeping a close eye on me.

"She just missed me and wanted to see me that's all." I say looking down, I didn't want sympathy.

Sympathy was something I was never too fond of.

It's like just feeling sad for them not really caring, the only time someone cares is when it affects them.

"Oh well, what do you work as right now." Zayn said trying to change the subject trying not to ruin the night.

"Im working as a waitress right now." I say, it wasn't my ideal job but it had a good pay and I need as much money as I could get, I'm a young girl trying to pay for half of a condo.

"Oh maybe I could give you a job with me. But you'll have to wait a while." He smiled.

The night was filled with amazing food, dancing , and getting to know each other.

Once it got late enough Zayn took me to the beach, we walked around for a while and just talked & talked. When there was a silence it wasn't an awkward silence, it was comforting.

Zayn phone has been beeping for the last 10 minutes, I'm pretty sure the person who was trying to get ahold of him had something important to say.

"Aren't you going to pick that up." I say.

"It's probably just work." He snapped.

"Okay." I say, he was so much more formal tonight.

How could he go from a messy teenager that is still in college, to a business man who is so professional.

It's like he lives a double life.

"I'm so happy with you Haven." He said grabbing my hand.

"Me too Zayn." I say looking out at the ocean.

--

"I had a good time, Thank you Zayn." I say standing in my house door way.

"It was nothing." He shot me a smile & kiss me goodnight.

I ran right to my room after closing the door. I was gunna call rainy & Karen. It was such a good time.

*27 missed calls, 9 voicemails, 10 text messages*

I opened one of the texts, it was from my dad.

Fatherrrr ; call your mother back when you get the chance, please haven. (:

"How was the date." Louis asked.

Good until my dad messaged right now ruining my night. I love my dad, but he should know that I don't wanna talk to her, not today, not tomorrow, not even next year. Yes she's my mom & I will forever care about her but I don't want to be apart of her life right now.

"It's was okay." I smile

"Haven! Get down!" Lou called out when he saw something in my window.

And with that everything went dark.
