Unexpected Love

Chapter 21

Zayn's POV

Both Harry and Niall were out so I was alone at the hotel. It gave me a chance to think. Why was I in Ohio, a state I've never heard of until the tour. The girl I came here for only treats me as a friend. Should I give up on trying to change her mind? I don't even know Ayan realizes I like her. She taught me so much about Islam. It made me realize what a beautiful religion it was. It really does have a great meaning and makes sense.

It let me see life in a different. I remember how Ayan told me that not only does the religion help you from making mistakes but it also doesn't allow you to take your life. If you did so many great things for your religion and take your own life all of it doesn't matter. You will die when it's destined for you to die. You can't even do self harm. I used to hate it how people that I was some kind of terrorist just because I was Muslim. But Islam is the total opposite of what all those terrorists are doing. It's about peace and loving God. And that's what I find so beautiful.

I know I can't get rid of all my tattoos and redo my whole life. But I can fix it. And hopefully the best will come out of it. I remember when Perrie and I broke up in the middle of the tour. We couldn't take the distance so we broke up mutually. Our fans were pretty upset. But we told them the truth and a lot if them understood. We still missed each other for a little while but then we just drifted apart. We haven't even heard from each other since.

But the thing is I don't mind. She was great. But I can't imagine spending the rest if my life with her. I wanna be more careful on who I date. But the only person I can think of is Ayan. Out of all the people I've meet all around the world she's the only one that sticks out. There's something about her. She changed me. But I bet I still would have noticed her if she didn't.

And you know what? I can imagine spending the rest if my life with her. I guess it's true when they say you'll know who it'll be when you meet them. Now if only she would realize. I think she feels something. But she doesn't know what it is. I'm not even totally sure. But I do know one thing. I won't stop until she does.

Niall's POV

I was walking around the park when I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and saw Laila. "Hey" I said giving her a hug. She froze in my arms. I let go. "Is something wrong?" I asked. She quickly shook her head. "No, let's start walking".

We were just walking until I broke the silence. "Uh there's a pretty cool restaurant by here you wanna go?" I asked. "Are you talking about Olive Garden?" She asked. "Uh yeah, I've actually never been to one, so when's a better chance to try it but now" she laughed a little and smiled. "Yeah let's go" she said.

Once we entered the restaurant we got our table and a waitress came by to take our order. I don't think she realized who I am but she did find me attractive. "So what would you like" she asked me.

"I'll have the chicken scampi" I said. "And I'll have the chicken alfredo" Laila said after. "I didn't ask you what you wanted slut" she said obnoxiously.

"Excuse me, what makes me the slut here. You obviously haven't seen yourself" Laila said back. The waitress was about today something back when I interrupted.

"Say something back and the manager will know. Now I think you have somewhere to be right now" I said and she looked really offended but walked away. "We'll she was a jerk, thanks for sticking up for me" Laila said gratefully.

"No problem, what freaked me out was she was trying to get me to like her"I said shuddering. After she laughed she said " why don't we just grab a burger?" She asked. I smiled "sounds good". And we walked out the door never knowing for sure whether or not the waitress was really getting our order.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a bit short but maybe it's because of the long paragraphs in the beginning which by the way wasmy favorite part to right. Also about that, I love Perrie Edwards so not hate. As a directioner I think it's cute that they were that much in love and are engaged. But as a fellow Muslim I can't help but feel sorry for Zayn. I don't think he knows better but maybe he does. But I can't do anything it's his life and his decision. But I think if someone would tell him one big think about Islam his life could change. Or maybe it wouldn't. It's still his choice.
