Chapter 23
And we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line, now I can't remember
I was swaying with the beat. I never thought I'd enjoy the music of the one my sister's obsessed with. I sighed. This was their last concert of WWA in Miami gardens, and probably mine too. This was it, I won't be styling them anymore. I'll move back to India and try for some job interviews, yep, that was the plan I made. I'm gonna miss all this....
Best song ever...
Zayn's melodic high note broke my trance. Yea, one of my obsessions right now. His high notes, the boys' vocals, the water fights and mess, Harry's clumsiness, Niall's unique laugh, the teasing between them. I was like one of the Directioner girls right now, just the difference was that I won't fangirl over them.
"Finally! Tour's over!!" Niall yelled as the boys came back stage and gave me a clumsy hug. The adrenaline was still there.
"Seriously guys.. touring with you is the most amazing thing I've ever experienced!!" I exclaimed and took everyone into a group hug. "I'll miss this when I go back.." I sighed. All of them looked at me.
"What?" I asked as we pulled away.
"Oh come on Ash! You're their permanent stylist.." Lou said, making me snap at her. I didn't knew this! I didn't even have any idea!!
"Really?" I squealed as I looked at the boys, they nodded at me. I started jumping happily, making the boys laugh at me.
We went to our hotel rooms. Me and Zayn entered our room, the first thing he did was collapsing on the bed. I laughed and locked the door. He looked at me and patted on the place next to him on the bed. I went to him and laid down. He pulled me closer and snuggled his face on the crook of my neck. His hair ticked my neck, which were still wet because of sweat, but I didn't mind.
"Zayn." I called him, he looked up and gave me a kiss on my cheek and snuggled back.
"Zayn?" I called again. He looked up and kissed on my nose and went back.
"Zayn I'm serious.." He looked up and crashed his lips onto mine. I wanted to talk, but nevermind... I kissed him back and pulled away after a while.
"So, what after we return to LA?" I asked. He sat up, taking me up with him. I brushed his hair back.
"We'll have some days off, then we will continue with the recording of the next album, then some award shows, interviews and again, a tour." He sighed. I was a bit angry and upset, they were overworked for sure. They didn't even had time to meet their families. I cupped his face with one hand and made him look at me.
"You're tired, aren't you?" I asked, he nodded.
"But, I can't do anything. I love my job, the lads, our fans. I just can't let their expectations down." He said as I sighed. He was right though, fans were something the boys were always delighted by, and even scared by sometimes. But they meant a lot to them. I remembered Zayn telling me how a fan fainted while shaking hands with him during a meet and greet, all the boys were really concerned for her.
"Ash..?" He called, which snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked at him, he had a smile that melted my heart. How can someone be so sweet?
"Mm?" I hummed.
"You know, being in this schedule... we haven't had time, for each other.. so I was thinking about..um—you know just, I think we should, I-I mean after we return..." He was stuttering, so I cut him.
"Zayn, you know you can about anything with me." After listening his way of speaking, I was a bit scared. What if he wants us to break up?! Don't. Think. Nonsense.
"Ok... I was just thinking that we should go out. Just the two of us, spend some time together." He said, I left my breath. Wait... he was taking me on a date?!
"So.. Aisha Mehra..." he said as he got up, looking into my eyes. He crouched down on one leg and took my hand. "Will you go on a date with me, as in, our very first official date?" He added. A wide grin came across my face as I nodded my head vigorously. He chuckled and kissed my hand. My cheeks flushed into a shade of red. He got up and widened his arms. I practically ran into his arms and wrapped my legs around his waist as he spun me around.
"I love you Zayn..." I mumbled into the crook of his neck and looked at him. He closed the space between us and gave me a sweet kiss.
"I love you too!" He exclaimed, making us both chuckle. I was literally feeling like someone has asked me for a date, for the first time ever. I've had many dates, but this was definitely going to be the best one.
He gently placed me on the bed and hovered over me, connecting our lips again. This kiss was different than the previous, it was full of passion and desire. His tongue slid over my lower lip.
I grabbed the back of neck and pulled him closer, gently nipping on his lip. He let out a throaty grunt. We pulled back almost immediately, huffing slightly.
Zayn was totally red in the face. His face as of he was trying to say something, but couldn't find the right words. I playfully rolled my eyes.
"You know? A bit more snogging wouldn't have hu-" He cut me off by placing his lips on my neck, making my eyes almost roll to the back of my head.
It was different... Way different.
Pehli nazar mein kaise jaadu kar diya
Tera bann baitha hai mera jiya
We separated by the ringtone of my phone. I practically glared at it. Why?? Why bloody now?
I was frustrated. Why does someone always interrupt us? I looked at Zayn and gave him a 'sorry' look, he nodded. I took it as a permission. I pulled my phone out from my jeans. Alia... ALIA!!
He moved to a side and we both got up. I controlled my breathing and answered the call.
"Hey Aishu!! Were you busy?" She asked. Seriously? Don't ask me that.
"Of course not! Why would I be busy?" I said through gritted teeth. Zayn chuckled. I looked at him and shook my head in disbelief.
"Great! I thought that it was the last concert, so why not skype you?" she asked and I facepalmed myself.
"Alia I'd love to, but we are a bit tired. All the others would be probably sleeping, I guess." I answered.
"Ok.. not the others, but maybe you and Zayn? Please....." She whined and I rolled my eyes.
"Fine, just wait, I'll call you." I pressed the end option and looked at Zayn.
"Alia wants to skype..." I said and he smiled.
"It's okay, she's your sister." He assured. I sighed.
He moved closer. "Don't worry, we still got time." He said in a low and husky voice, making me smirk, I nodded. With that, he pecked my lips and went for a shower.
I wore comfortable clothes and took my laptop.
That's the second time you're sexually frustrated.
Anyways.. I skyped Alia.
"Hey.. how are you behena?" She asked in a delighted tone. I couldn't even be mad on her right now.
"I'm great, what about you?" I asked, she sighed.
"Exams in a week. I'm bored Ash!!" She whined, making me laugh.
"You always do well." I assured her and she nodded.
"Where's jiju?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows, I rolled my eyes. "One day they'll be stuck." Definitely my sister.
"He's taking a shower." I said and she nodded.
"By the way, lets get to the main topic." She said. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. So, there's a main topic?
"Are you still pure?" She asked. I choked on my spit, staring at her in disbelief.
"Come on! Answer me!!" She exclaimed. I was going to yell at her, but Zayn came out of the shower, so I kept calm. He came and sat beside me.
"Wow!!" She said in a low voice. I looked at the screen to see her amazed expression. Then it clicked, Zayn was shirtless. My reflex actions made my hand cover her eyes. Zayn laughed at my action. Then it clicked again, I moved my hand from her eyes to the camera and laughed nervously. He shook his head and went towards his bag.
"God Aisha!! The whole fandom has already seen him shirtless.." she said and I uncovered my camera.
"So, bataa, usne tera khaata khola ya nahi?" (so, did he do the opening?) She asked. She knew me, very well, that I won't be able to speak this with Zayn in front of me.
"Tujhe isse kya?" (what's that to do with you?) I replied silently, a light blush forming on my face.
"Aree!! Agar bachhe honge toh unki maasi ho jaungi na mai?" (if you had children, I'd be their aunt right?) She replied and I facepalmed. She laughed.
"By the way, hum hindi mei baat toh kar rahe hai... par ek baat batau?" (btw, I know we're speaking in hindi, but can I tell you something?) She asked.
"Haa..." (yea) I nodded.
"Zayn ko hindi samajh mei aati hai.." (Zayn can understand hindi) she said and my eyes widened. Why didn't I realise this?
I looked at him, he was leaning on the wall, listening to our conversation and had a smirk on his face. I looked on the screen, Alia was trying to control her laughter.
"Tujhe mai baad mei dekh lungi." (I'll deal with you later) I stated and ended the call.
I kept the laptop to a side and buried my face in a pillow. Embarrassment at its peak? Yes..
I heard him chuckle. He slowly dragged the pillow away from my face. I looked at him, my cheeks flushed red. I dug my face into his chest, his chest vibrating because of laughter.
"I don't mind making Alia.... maasi" he said and earned a smack on his arm.
"Oww..." He squealed. I chuckled. He wrapped his arms around me and tilted us, so we were laying on the bed.
"Good night love.." He said and placed his lips on my forehead.
"Good night..." I replied. And we drifted to sleep.

I unlocked the door of my apartment. Yes, we had returned to LA. I looked around, it was not that big, but not that small too. The living area had a couch and two separate seats, with a small fireplace. It had a kitchen, basement and 2 bedrooms with connected bathrooms. Perfect for me.
I sighed. I wish I could bring Alia and Muskaan here. We'd have so much fun. We never let Alia come in between me and Muskaan when we were small. You know? Just a sister's thing. We would tease her sometimes, poke her chubby cheeks when we she would be asleep. But that was until we realised she was alone in school, bullied by her classmates. And that's when the my sister sense was hurt. We were seniors, so we warned the entire class not to lay a finger on her again. But that wasn't enough for her, she worked on herself, she didn't needed to, but she still did. And that's when the other students noticed my beautiful sister, tried to gain her attention, but she always preferred us over them. We three were inseparable since then. I smiled at the memories. No matter how annoying she was, I loved her.
I took my bag into the bedroom and locked the main door. I came back into the bedroom and collapsed on bed. Tired, jet-lagged. So much that I didn't even mind changing my clothes and slept.

The next day...
"Ughhh... I don't know what to wear, why aren't you suggesting anything?!" I growled on my phone.
"Wow, wow.. calm down. It's not your first date. I mean it is with Zayn.. but its not.. gosh!! How do I explain?!" Muskaan replied, and I know she would be pissed right now. I never had a difficulty while choosing my outfit, why today?
"Why are you so nervous?" She added. How did she?
"How do you know?" I asked.
"You're tapping your heel so hard that even I can hear it." I looked down. O great!
"Where is he taking you?" she asked. I shook my head.
"No idea!" I answered.
"Ok, so just ask him if you should wear something fancy or casual.." she said. Why didn't I thought about this?
"That's a great idea." I said happily. I can imagine her facepalming.
"Thanks so much, Miki... love you.." I said and she laughed.
"Save that for Zayn... bye, love you too." She said and ended the call. I left out a breath and texted him.
To Zayn
Hey babe... just wanted to ask you what should I wear?
From Zayn
You look stunning in everything..;)
To Zayn
Yea, I know..;) But still, casual or fancy?
From Zayn
Casual.
To Zayn
Ok thanks
From Zayn
Be ready.. I'll be there in 30
Casual.... what should I wear? After thinking for some minutes, I decided my outfit. I wore a simple black dress, which came just above my knee, and added a denim jacket to it. I applied a bit of eyeliner and lip gloss, leaving my hair straight down in natural waves. Yep, done! I took a mirror selfie of my outfit and sent it to Muskaan, earning a thumbs up from her.
*DING DONG*
I took my phone, my wallet and literally sprinted out of my bedroom. I opened the door to see him wearing a white t-shirt under an black leather jacket and black skinny jeans, leaning against a wall with both hands behind him. He smiled at me showing his pearly white teeth.
Can we just talk about how he rocks every leather outfit?
"Hey.." I said.
"Hey." He replied. "You look gorgeous.." he said again, making me blush.
"You look good too, don't try to stop me if I punch some girls flirting with you." I replied in a serious tone. He laughed.
"So, let's go?" He added.
"Yea..." I nodded and locked my door behind me.
I stopped in front of him. He took his left hand out, revealing a red rose. I blushed and held it, I tried to take it from him, but he didn't give it. I gave him a confused look. He chuckled and took his right hand out, which had a whole bouquet of red and white roses. My face delighted. He adjusted the single rose between them and gave it to me. I hugged him tight and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you.." I said and pulled away.
"Anything for you love!" He replied and bowed slightly. I chuckled at his sweet gesture. He then held his hand out, I took it and we went to the lift.
As we reached his car, he unlocked it and opened the passenger's door. I sat in while he closed the door and ran towards his side. I coupdn't even describe the feeling, he was being too cute. He sat and looked at me.
"Did I mention how cute you look today?" He said and I sighed.
"Yea you did.. lets go now!" I said and faced the front, but, found a note sticking to the cabinet in front with the kiss emoji. 'something special for my darling' I smiled and opened it to find a box of Ferraro Rocher and a Toblerone chocolate bar. My face delighted even more. I looked at him, he had his elbow on the steering wheel and head on his palm, looking at me.
I hugged him again. "Thank you so much.. I love chocolates."
"I know... so, what do I get in return?" He said, making me pull away. He pouted his lips, making me laugh. I cupped his face with one hand to bring him closer. As soon as our lips connected, my body shivered. We had been together for months, but this still felt like the first time. We pulled away and looked at each other.
"I could watch you all day long.." I said and sighed.
"Me too, but we have a date to go on." He said and I made a fake frown.
"Mood- spoiler." I said and he laughed
"We'll have fun, trust me!" he replied.
"I do.. lets go now." I said and buckled my seat belt. He did the same and we drove off. We finished the chocolate bar while driving. I wanted to open the box, but he insisted to take it home. We reached a mall. He took me out of the car and into the mall. We went to a specific floor and damn... My date couldn't be more perfect.
"Arcade games?!" I exclaimed, making some heads turn at us. I mouthed them 'sorry'.
"We can go back, if you don't like them." He said with a low, nervous voice.
"Are you kidding me? I love them." I said and his mood lightened again.
We played a few games, let me correct it... a lot of games, won some prizes and left the section. We then entered a cafe on the lower floor, ordered cold coffee and pastries for both of us. We met some fans too, and I was glad they weren't rude. We were chatting, laughing, having a great time.
The day was amazing, literally. The way he was going all protective when other boys were around, I couldn't even describe. We drove to my apartment. I kissed him before leaving. After entering my home, the first thing I did was keeping the chocolates in the refrigerator. I changed my clothes into a comfortable tee+shorts and started cooking my dinner. After sometime, my phone buzzed. I picked the call and held the phone between my shoulder and ear.
"Hello?" I said.
"Had fun on the date eh? I told you to stay away from that lover boy!" Him again. How does he know everything? Every time I block his number, he called from another one.
"Whoever you are, you have nothing to do with my life." I spat at him, and heard him laughing.
"Listen barbie girl, just remember... Anywhere you go, I have my eyes on you." he said and hanged the phone.
Who the hell is he? I have to find out!
