I opened the door to our room and enter with Niall following.

"All this stress needs ice-cream. Would you like some Van?"

"Yes please."

I quickly send a text to Zayn to tell him everything is okay. We sat on the bed, eating ice-cream and talked a lot of nonsense until the boys interrupted.

"That looks like fun." Louis threw his bag on the floor and joined us and so did Liam.

Harry went straight to bed without a word.

"Ivanna can I quickly see you?"

"Sure Zayn."

He pulls me into the other room and shut the door behind us.

"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"

"I just wanted to say thank you. I told the boys what was going down. Also thank you for text you send to say everything is okay."

"It was nothing, Zayn"

He moves in closer and kissed my temple and I get this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. "You should know that these boys are like my family. I won't let anyone hurt them. I really appreciate what you did."

I must admit I have been developing strong feelings for Zayn. The way he looks at me when he thinks I don't notice it. The way he smiles at me. His gentle voice when he speaks to me. The way he hugs me and defends me against the boys' accusations

As he turns to walk to the door I grab his arm. "Zayn, I have to tell you something." I slide my hand down his arm to his hand and then I slowly rub my thumb over his swallow tattoo.

He looks at our hands and then up at me. "What's wrong?"

"I..." I look down at my feet. "I am so bad at this." I can feel my cheeks getting warmer.

"What is it Ivanna?"

"I have been travelling with you boys for the last month and you are leaving America in a few weeks." I fidget with the button on my shirt. "Something happened that I started to notice."

He swallows hard and looks down. I put my hand under his chin and bring his eyes up to meet mine.

"I noticed that I get very jealous when other girls get close to you. And that I have developed strong feelings toward you."

He looks at me with a glimmer in his eyes. "I thought you had a crush on Liam."

"No, I think I am in love with you."

"I have a confession to make. I have feelings for you too. Since the first time I saw you." I smile, a single tear rolls down my cheek. He wipes the tear away with his thumb. "It was my suggestion to ask you to tour with us."

"What?"

"Yep, and I saw you at the fence when we entered the army base. I immediately wanted to know who you were. I told Louis that fate will bring us together. And it did."

I am full on crying now. Was this mom's sign? He folds his arms around me and rubs my back.

I push him away and look into his eyes when he moves in closer and...

"Hey guys we are... What are you doing?"

"Louis, you are kind of interrupting."

"Wait, did Zayn finally grow a pair and told you how he feels. Because I swear if he didn't I am going to."

"Actually Louis, you are just in time for the grand finale." With that I pull him closer to me and place my lips on his and kiss him so passionately. I could've sworn I heard an angel choir singing.

When we finally pull away from each other we were greeted by a standing ovation. Zayn places his arm around me and I could feel my cheeks getting warmer.

"As I was saying before this happened we are going to order pizza. Any preferences?"

"No order what you are I the mood for." I am trying so hard to calm my heart down. It feels like my whole body is vibrating. Like my body is on fire. It doesn't help that his arm is draped around my shoulders, it literally feels like it is burning my skin.

The boys leave and I turn to Zayn. "Are you sure that this is what you want?" Gesturing between us.

He moves closer and plants his lips on mine again. I felt like I was going to pass out. He pulls away and pressed his hand to my cheek. "Does that answer your question?"

I can't speak. My senses were all so overwhelmed; it felt like I was going to pass out.

We exit the room and the first one I wanted to talk to is Harry. Wait, where is he? "Where is Harry?"

Liam walks past me. "He is upset, he is in his bed."

I let go of Zayn's hand and smile at him shyly. He looks down blushing and I make my way to Harry's room. I knock before I open the door.

"Harry?" I heard sobs coming from the bed. "Harry, I am coming in." I enter and walk over to the bedside.

"They did it again."

"Aria?"

"Yes." He sits up.

"She believes us Harry, so why do we care?"

"Fans don't know the difference, Van."

"Don't worry I think things are about to change real soon."
