The next talk show Zayn would be on with the boys was SNL, and I was planning on this one going absolutely nothing like the last time Zayn had appeared on a talk show, seeing as it had been one of the worst days of my life. By far.

We arrived at the studio, and saw Louis and Eleanor, standing by the entrance, so we decided to go over and walk in with them so that Eleanor and I could sit together in the audience and so Louis and Zayn could get ready together.

When Louis saw that Zayn and I were walking together with semi smiles on our faces, he leaned over and whispered, "So I'm guessing my suggestion of the apology worked."

"Eh, our makeshift version of an apology I guess," I nodded.

We laughed and walked in together with our designated spouses.

"What was that about," Zayn whispered in my ear, referring to Louis and I's whisper conversation that had ended in laughter.

"It was nothing," I said looking up at him.

He nods, not fully convinced.

Lou came over to fetch the boys for their looks to be done before the show started.

Eleanor and I said our goodbyes to Zayn and Louis, and went to go meet up with Sophia who was now back and had arrived with Liam a few minutes earlier than us.

SNL was the same, and how I'd always remembered watching it as a kid. It never failed to make me laugh.

It was over faster than I'd expected, so Zayn and I'd ended up going to dinner at the Italian place not far from the studio.

We pulled in, and walked in, sitting down at a table that wasn't near any doors or windows, so that no one, no one being the paparazzi, would be able to see us.

"So what do you want to eat? I'm really not that hungry, I think we could share something." Zayn suggested, it was so funny. Just the mere thought of having to share my food with someone.

"What," Zayn asked, a confused smile on his face do to my laughter at the suggestion.

"It's just that," I started. "No one, touches my food ok? So whatever crazy idea you had in your head that involved you getting within 10 inches of my plate, you better rethink it and get your own damn dinner."

After that the conversation had been light, the entire night down joking about nothing in particular, ranging from basket ball teams, to hair styles because his hair was 'as long as mine' now, or so he claims.

"Tonight was fun," Zayn said, "We should have more nights like this."

I nodded, looking up at him, "We really should."

And with that, we left the restaurant hand in hand with big smiles plastered on our faces.
