Chapter 7- First dates
Sorry It takes me so long, i share a laptop with my brothers and most times I get lazy.
"Can I please borrow some money for this date, I promise to pay you back", I pleaded with Niall. Niall was at the bakery today as I took my lunch break, I've been working twice as much to pay for this date.
"You know you don't have to ask, you know I'll lend you money when you need it", he exclaimed as he pulled about fifty dollars out his wallet, "Also, don't pay me back, I'm not going to accept your money".
"I'm still going to try though" I smirked and thanked Niall as i put the money in my wallet.
"So are you excited for your first date in years, literally", Niall's laugh cackled through the bakery.
"Haha, so funny Neil", sarcasm dripping through my voice,"And if you really want to know, I'm very excited, I have the perfect place" I smiled at the end of my sentence.
"Are you going to tell or just sit there and smile like a creep", Niall smirked.
"Okay so..."
....
After work, I headed to the art supplies store to get ready for my date. I do enjoy doing art, a lot, but i haven't had the money for more supplies. So right now i mostly do drawings with a pencil and some paper, but i'm grateful for what i have. I head into my local art store, which i know the owner pretty well so most times I get a discount on pricey items. It's a family owned art store so it's pretty small for an art supply store.
"Hey Mikey", I exclaim to the owner who's behind the counter.
"Zayn! I was starting to wonder if you were avoiding me", he playfully slaps my shoulder as I give him a hug.
"Nah, you know I never could avoid you", I say as I start to walk over to the canvases. Me and Mikey catch up as I pick up some canvases and watercolor paints. I know it's going to be a stretch with the money I have, but it's worth it for Harry.
I put my stuff on the counter and start to pull out the fifty dollars Niall gave me, but with my luck the total comes out to $65. Mikey seems to notice also,"Eh, It's fine you're my favorite customer anyway", he playfully whispers as I laugh and thank him. "May I ask what it's for?" he quettsions.
"I've got a date Mikey!" I smile so wide.
"My boy's got a date, Wooh, Wooh, Wooh!" He keeps shouting as I leave the store smiling as I walk down the street. I feel like I'm walking on cloud nine as I walk back to my apartment complex.
....
Saturday comes around before I even notice, and I'm so nervous. Me and Harry's date starts at six because he has to be home before eleven. Today I had both sides of my head shaved and left some to hang down one side so it looked like I had half my head shaved. I would go to a professional, but we all know how expensive those are and plus a girl that lives in my complex,Lou, did it for me.
I'm really nervous about this date and it's only 3 o' clock, I've spent the whole day preparing for it. I know it's only a first date, but I really like Harry. I can't help but wonder what pretty flower crown he'll wear today. I can't help but always think about Harry, he's really pretty. I only have one more stop to make before the date and that's to Niall's house to borrow his truck. I have to start early because his house is about twenty minutes away by walking.
....
Once I got to Niall's house, I was slightly tired and sweaty but it's okay because I still have to change for the date. I went up the steps to his house. The reason Niall has a house this early on in his life is because his Uncle works for a big corporate company and got Niall a position in the company, enough said Niall makes enough to get him by. I rung the doorbell and wasn't surprised when Josh answered the door, considering his car his parked outside and he's at Niall's house seventy percent of the time. "Hey Josh, is it okay if I can come in",Josh was a very shy person and he also had Asperger, so I am always careful around him.
"Y-yeah, Niall's in the living room", he moved aside to let me in.
"Very good Josh, you only stuttered once", Niall came up behind Josh hugging him. Josh blushed madly and quietly said thank you.
Me, Niall, and Josh chatted for a while and watched TV until I ad to go and get ready for my date with Harry. I got the keys from Niall and walked down his steps to the truck.
Niall's loud voice rang as he shouted to me from the steps," Good luck on your date lad".
"Good luck Zayn", Josh softly replied. I nodded my goodbyes and hopped in Niall's truck.
When I was walking earlier I passed by a little flower shop, and mad it my mission to stop by before going home. I spent twelve dollars on the flowers, even though I know that could've bought me breakfast for tomorrow. Once I made it home I hoped in the shower to get clean from the walking I did earlier. I made sure to clean up good and trim my growing beard. When the clock hit 5:40, I took the flowers and started towards Harry's house. I remembered the route from last time and made it there in less than fifteen minutes. I still had five minutes and used that time to calm myself down.
I'm so afraid to mess up this date, considering I hadn't had a date in years and Harry just makes me feel so shy and self conscious. I hopped out the car with one minute to spare wanting to make a good impression on Harry by arriving on time. Once at Harry's door I rung the doorbell with my flowers behind my back in my other hand, the door swung open before I was even ready and I was faced with Anne.
Before I could get any words out Anne's stern face spoke "Listen he mister, my baby has been very excited for this so if you think you can break his heart or even be remotely mean to him you can leave now" I shook my head at Anne's strict voice, "Got it?" She replied nicely at the end putting on her usual smile. I nodded my head as we heard Harry's footsteps coming down the stairs"Hey mummy, Hey Zayn", Harry spoke shyly at the end of his sentence.
"Hey Harry, you look beautiful as always", I spoke relieved Harry's mum left, he was wearing a button down shirt with light colors a green background, and pretty flowers on it. His flower crown of choice today had light pink flowers and leaves scattered randomly in it. "I got you something", I blushed as I pulled the flowers from around my back. Harry gasped as he took the colorful array of flowers," Thank you, thank you, thank you Zayn" Harry hugged me letting me smell his sweet perfume.
I waited in his kitchen as he put the flowers in a vase with water. Once he was finished he took a square small, flat box and thrust it in my hands blushing. "Is this for me", I asked not knowing how to hide my surprise.
He nodded shyly and added a shy "I made it myself". I opened the box slowly and gasped at the pastel yellow flower crown that was a little crooked, giving a tell that Harry did in fact make it himself.
"Thank you Harry It's lovely, mind helping me put it on love?", I was not exactly sure how to attach it like Harry did his. Harry nodded and came over to wear I was sitting on a stool and took some bobby pins from the box to clip in my hair. "How does it look?" I asked fake posing like a model.
Harry giggled, "You look beautiful", that little sentence was enough to almost cry, nobody had ever called me beautiful. After our giggles we headed out to the truck, once in I took a quick glance at myself in my rear view (AYYEEE)mirror. It went well with my new hairstyle and black hair.
"I really like your hair Zaynie", Harry complemented.
"Thank you, I really like yours Lovely", I complemented back as Harry blushed.
"Where are we going? I've never been on a date ever", he stretched the last word as he giggled.
"Shh it's a secret",We both giggled. I made a bold move, blushing the whole time, and grabded his soft delicate hand in my gruff one. The ride was silent from then on, a peaceful silence I could get used to.
Once at the destination, Harry gasped "The bakery?"
"I know it's not fancy but-" Harry cut me off and hugged me,
"I love it, I love it, I love", he hugged me over the console.
"Don't get out, let me ", I commented as I opened my door, ran around the front and opened his. I bowed down comically, "My Prince", I mocked, Harry couldn't control his giggles as we made our way inside. I had our table specially reserved by the window, it was only a small crowd today so we wouldn't be too bothered. I ordered us a sample tray full of different desserts and ordered harry his drink of choice then went and sat back down at the table with Harry.
"Tell me, what kind of hobby's do you do?" I questioned genuinely interested.
"Well, me and my mummy like to garden and I love butterflies..." Harry continued on his little rant about his hobbies and flowers as I marveled at his beauty and innocence.
"And one time I saw a butterfly in my garden and I chased it all around to see where it lives, but I ended up falling in mud and my mummy scolded me later on", he giggled at the end of his sentence.
The rest of our 'Dinner' there we laughed, giggled, and ate lots of cake on our first date. It was perfect; the lights, the mood,and Harry's smiles, probably the best time I've had in a while. I had a time frame so we didn't spend too long there and by the end of the night we had flushed faces from laughing too much. We payed, with my discount,and exited the restaurant, me holding Harry's hand all the way. harry had a pout on his face making me worry he didn't have a good time,"What's wrong Love, I thought you were having fun?" his lip was quivering by the end of my sentence as we stopped by the truck and I faced him.
"I don't wa- want it to be over", he wined about to cry and I quickly comforted him, pulling him into my chest.
"Sweetheart, It's not over, we have more planned, I promise", I held out my pinky. Harry looked up and linked our pinkies laughing at the size difference. I opened the door for him and got in, both sharing laughs as we were off to our next destination.
We made it to the park not to far from the bakery at seven o'clock. Harry's face lit up as he saw the pretty flowers planted all around "Can we pick the pretty flowers pleasee?"Harry gave me the puppy look.
"Only a few, because we don't want to leave no pretty flowers for everybody else", I giggled with him.
....
By the end of our walk around the park, Harry had made the both of us Flower bracelet, and scattered a bunch of flowers in his own hair and had a bunch in his hand. What can I say, It's hard to say no to his cute face. We made our way to the canvases I set up earlier and had the park officials close off that space. "Is this for us?" Harry asked cluelessly.
"Yeah, I figured since I like art maybe we could paint a scenery together and the sunset. So then we got to work painting the beautiful pinks, oranges, yellows, and blues of the sun with water colors. In the end we both reveled our pictures, mine was a little professional because I've took lessons, but Harry's was just as beautiful and unique as him. It was a kiddie sunset with a grassy park in front of it and two stick figure silhouettes walking into the sunset. "Who are those people, ladybug", Harry blushed at the new nickname. The sun had officially went down and the way the moonlight shined off of Harry was Absolutely perfect. His gorgeous curls shined and his green eyes sparkled as a pink tinted his cheeks. It's truly a picture perfect moment.
"It's me and you because we'll be together forever", he said shyly looking down. Harry was truly a masterpiece.
....
At the end of the night I dropped Harry back off at his house walking him up the steps, "Tonight was perfect, thank you Harry", I took his hand facing him.
"This was like a fairy tail with two princes", he giggled softly.
"You are my fairy tail prince", I leaned in and kissed his cheek softly and let my lips linger on his burning cheek, "Thank you Harry for the perfect night, good night".
"Night night Zaynie", Harry waved as I went back to Nialls truck planning on giving it back tomorrow.
Before I got in Harry called me, he blew a kiss and I playfully caught it and put it on my cheek.
I defiantly caught it.
Love you guyss, thanks for reading.
