You had never thought that you would ever be dating someone from One Direction, but you ended up getting very lucky. You had met Zayn downtown London about 3 months ago, and now you two have officially been going out for 3 weeks.
It was an overcast day in the city. It wasn't too hot, but it wasn't cold either so you both decided that it was a perfect time for you to take a walk around London.
"You ready Y/N?" he asked from downstairs.
He had just gotten to your flat and you had ran upstairs to get your purse.
"Yeah Zayn, just give me a second." You said as you came back downstairs.
He helped you put on a cardigan over your dress and then you two were off.
"You look adorable, by the way." He said from the drivers seat.
"Thanks babe." You said with a smile.
"So I was thinking we would go ahead and park behind your favorite clothing store and just start our walk from there?"
"Sure, that sounds perfect."
So with one of his hands holding yours, you two drove downtown.
After a little while, you finally made your way into the store. You tried on lots of different clothes, and with every outfit you tried on, Zayn would smile and tell you that you looked beautiful.
After an hour or two of walking around and shopping, you two decided to run into Starbucks and get something to drink. He ordered for you, knowing your favorite drink, and once those were made you two headed out to a bench to sit and rest.
He had his arm around you as you two just looked at the busyness around you. And that was when you saw him. It wasn't like he was an ex-boyfriend, but he was one of your old best friends. You turned away too slowly, because you two had made eye contact and now he was walking over towards you.
"Hey Y/N." He said with a nervous smile.
You stood up from the bench as he held his arms out for a hug.
"Hey." You said with a smile. "How are you? I haven't seen you in a long time."
"I know, it's been forever hasn't it?"
"Yeah, it's been way to long." You said with a smile.
You heard Zayn clear his throat and stand up behind you.
"Oh yeah," you said turning towards Zayn. "This is my boyfriend, Zayn."
"Nice to meet you." Your friend said, holding out his hand for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you too." Zayn said with a small smile.
"Well, I had better get going." Your friend said while looking down. "I have lots of errands to run and school work to finish."
"Alright." You said smiling. "It was nice to see you again."
You two shared a hug and waved as he walked off.
Once he was gone, you sat back down and Zayn immediately grabbed your hand and held it tightly in his. He didn't really say anything, but after a few minutes, he asked if you wanted to go grab something to eat. You didn't object, so you two headed to a café.
The waitress sat you both down and after a few minutes, she took your order. The whole time, Zayn seemed distant from you, so you worked up the courage to ask:
"Zayn, what's wrong? You've been acting kind of funny for the last half hour."
"I don't know." He said while shrugging his shoulders.
"Yes, yes you do. Please tell me."
You took his hand in yours as he looked down.
"It was him wasn't it. My friend from school that we saw on the street."
"Fine Y/N, yeah. It was him. It was just frustrating seeing him so happy to see you. And you were obviously happy too because you stood right up to give him a hug, and it seemed like he couldn't keep his eyes off of you the whole time you two were talking. I just-"
"Zayn," you interrupted. "Are you jealous of him?"
You couldn't help but laugh a little as you continued:
"He is just one of my old best friends from high school. Definitely friend zoned okay?"
He nodded his head while looking down.
"I just want everyone to know you're mine."
You could feel yourself blushing as you smiled at him.
"Y/N-" he said nervously. "I just want you to know how special you are to me. And that- and that I love you."
You looked up at him in surprise. Did he really just say that?
"I love you too." You said with a huge smile on your face.
You two couldn't help but laugh a little as the waitress arrived with your food. Now that that situation was cleared up, and he said that he loved you for the first time, you couldn't have been more happy. You two continued your day around London. His fingers were intertwined with yours, or his arm would be around your shoulders or your waist. You both said that you loved each other for the first time, and now he wanted everyone to see that you were his, and he was yours.
