Indian Girl With British Lads

Chapter 42

Alia POV

7:15 pm. Zayn takes me to his date at 8 pm. So I better start getting ready. He told me that he is taking me to a fancy restaurant. So I need to dress up in some classy way. I open my closet door and rummage through my dresses.

After contemplating over a few minutes I decided on wearing a black dress which was tight till my waist and after that just flowed. It ended till my knees and had a red bow on the waist. I put on some thin eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss.

I decided to leave my hair in its natural curls. Now last thing, footwear. From my whole collection I decide to wear some black glittering stilletos. I know I am not a big fan of heels but today I can make some effort for Zayn.

In my black matching clutch I put my mobile, cash and credit card.

Taking a final look in the full length mirror I conclude that I look really good now.

Wow!! Date with Zayn. I never ever expected that he will reciprocate my feelings. But I am not sure that he wants to be serious or no. Today in the interview I did talk about it so he should know my choice of relationship. I seriously can't bear a heartbreak. Not that I ever had experience of it but I have seen my friends go through it.

I have seen Sonam going through it. She had just been in one relation. I thought that they were quite serious about it but one day she caught him smooching some other girl in a club. Man!! The pain Sonam suffered from literally broke my heart. From that day I decided that I will always seek for a serious and committed relationship.

Lack of experience in this department can also cause a problem for me. I am new to this thing so I don't know what should my expectations be from Zayn. I don't want to be a clingy or a desperate girlfriend. Wait, did I tell girlfriend?? Will Zayn ask me to be his girlfriend today?? Or maybe after few more dates?? I shake my head slightly to remove all such thoughts for the time being. Right now I just have to concentrate on the thing which is in my hand, that is this date.

I look at the time in my mobile. 7:56 pm. Almost time. I mentally prepare myself for my first date. A sudden knock on the door catches my attention. Grabbing my clutch I open the door and then I am suddenly stunned by the immense beauty I see in front of my eyes.

Zayn dressed in a white button down shirt, a jacket and black skinny jeans is right now the most handsome person on the earth. His hair is in a perfect quiff and I just can't stop myself from staring at him.

He has a slight smirk on his face as he checks me. His eyes rake over my body from head to toe but not in a way which can make me uncomfortable. Heat travels up my cheeks.

"You look gorgeous." He whispers.

He leans towards me a plants a small peck on my cheeks.

"You don't look that bad." I tease and his eyes widen with a small smoke on his face. He then chuckles.

"Let's go."

I nod my head. He takes my hand and intertwines our fingers. We descend down the stairs  and find everyone sitting on the sofas laughing goofily over something. As soon as they see us their laughter dies and the living room suddenly becomes quiet.

"First date??" Louis asks cheekily and I reply with blush creeping my cheeks.

His grin increases. Harry says,"You look beautiful."

"Thank you." I say meekly.

"Treat her well Zayn." Liam says to Zayn playfully but I can catch the hidden concern in his voice.

"If he doesn't treat you well call me. I will immediately come and kick his ass." Liam says and everybody laughs.

Zayn rolls his eyes but I can see the sides of his lips twitching waiting to break in a grin.
