"Zayn, where is the popcorn?"

"Somewhere in the living room, my love."

"I got it, thanks handsome."

I enter the expression room. There he is, my whole life. Sitting in a bundle on the ground in the middle of the room. He has been trying for hours to get the colour right.

"You are staring again." He didn't even look up as he spoke.

"No I am enjoying the view."

"It's creepy."

"Well I was just wondering when I was getting my boyfriend to come and watch a movie with me."

"I'm doing it again aren't I?"

I just nodded.

"Okay." He puts the brushes down and get up wrapping his arms around me. "I am all yours."

"Yay!"

"So what are we watching?"

"How about Marine 2?"

"Are you starting to miss the army?"

"I just miss dad."

"We should find a number you can call him on."

"That will be nice."

The movie starts and we both cuddle closer. The movie wasn't even half way when the sound of pitter patter on the pavement distracted me. I sat up and looked out the window. It was the first time I saw rain since I escaped the army.

"What's wrong Ivanna?"

"Are you coming?"

"Where to?"

I get up and give him a taunting look. He had a very confused look on his face. I opened the glass door and walked into the cool air.

"Ivanna you don't even have a jacket on."

"Come on Zayn."

He finally got up from the bed and made his way over to me. I drape my arms around his neck and pull him closer kissing him. We both stop and look up at the sky.

I felt his eyes on me and move my gaze to him.

"You are so beautiful."

"Thank you."

"I want to tell you something."

"What is it my love?"

"I heard you."

"Heard me when?"

"When you asked me to never leave you and that you loved me."

"Zayn I..." Before I could finish my sentence he placed his finger on my lips.

"I love you Ivanna."

"It took you almost three months to tell me you love me." I mockingly smile at him. "I love you too."

That is when I saw it. For the first time since we started dating it all made sense. It happened that night we first kissed and confessed our feelings for each other. That afternoon he playfully held me down on the bed. The day he asked me to move with him to London. On the plane before take-off. The first time he kissed me in his house and the heated moment we had. And now while we are standing in the rain.

Can this really be?
