Canvas - Z.M

Chapter 25

A/N: I Feel kind of stupid.. the last two chapters after reading them I realised it mentioned that christmas (in the book) was like one and a half months away when it's acually suppose to be like two weeks till christmas?

I guess that's what holidays do to you. I wasn't thinking properly haha.

So I thought I'd clarify that it's actually two weeks till christmas (in this book) :P

"I didn't realise we were going out clubbing." I comment as I seat myself in the taxi.

Both Sophia and Eleanor laugh.

"Come on. What's the whole point of a girls night out if we're not going out?" Eleanor comments.

I blink momentarily before nodding. True. But I honestly don't know how Zayn is going to react.

I was never allowed to go out clubbing and whenever I did, some people noticed me.

Zayn was always the one to blame me for the guys who approached me asking how much. I guess it was my fault because of my past, but the best thing he could have done was stick up for me.

I need to stop thinking about what damage has been done. Because that damage is over.

My phone vibrates and I check to see that it's a message from Zayn.

*where are you going?

I look at both Sophia and Eleanor who are talking about what clubs are pumping tonight.

*we're going clubbing.

Erasing it, I hesitate and decide on texting something else before I see the three dots appear.

He's writing.

*I won't be home till half past one tonight. Concerts are later now remember?

I reply back to that instead.

*i'll see you then.

I send it and Sophia gazes down at my phone.

"Naw, is Zayn missing you?" She teases.

I roll my eyes before putting my phone in my purse.

"No he was just asking what we were doing." I reply.

Eleanor rolls her eyes. "Typical. Worried boyfriend. Does he know we're going out?"

"Not out clubbing." I shrug.

"Well we're going out for dinner first then we're going out. I'm starving." Sophia comments.

Oh now I understand why we're going out at half past seven at night. I thought it was too early to go out now, only to find out that we're having dinner.

"And since you brought your purse, you are in charged of our stuff." Eleanor says as she hands her clutch to me as does Sophia. Eleanors bag is heavy though, for such a small thing.

Fuck.

How could I forget?! Never bring a purse when you're going out with friends otherwise your in charged with everyone's stuff.

I pull a face as I slip everything into my purse.

"Thanks Rena." Sophia smiles.

The taxi comes to a stop and I adjust my dress as I step out of the car.

"Mango tree?" I frown up at the sign.

"Yeah, it's thai." Sophia smiles.

"Oh." I smile widely. "I love thai food."
