Zayn's hand is wrapped tightly around yours as you walk through the haunted house together; it's really not scary, the props look like they've been bought at a Halloween supply store, and it's all over dramatic and stupid... Plus, it's Halloween, you'd think they would've put in a little effort. "Hey, look at that." Zayn says, pointing over towards a corner of the dark, cramped room. "what?" you query, letting go of Zayn's hand as you make your way over to the corner, "Zayn, there's nothing - AH!" you scream as you see a very realistic looking zombie peek at you through the crack in the walls, You run over to where Zayn is, and quickly hide behind his broad shoulders. "Honey, it's one of the workers." Zayn says, amusement coloring his voice, and you flush in embarrassment. "Well, it popped out of nowhere!" you exclaim, cheeks flushed as Zayn takes your hand and pulls you into the next room. He laughs, and leans over and pecks your temple "Having a good time, though?" He asks, as you make your way through the dark hall, with over dramatic blood splatters, and creepy photos that seemingly watch your every move - but you don't care, you're on a date with Zayn Malik, and there's nothing to be worried about. "I am, are you?" you reply, smiling at him widely as his dark eyes sparkle, clear even through the darkness of the hallway. "I am, especially good since you're with me." His voice is low, and husky and you feel butterflies dance in your stomach and make their way to your throat as you tense, "I'm not that great." He shakes his head, "No, you're fantasticly, amazingly, perfectly beautiful..." He trails off, embarrassed, and you giggle at him and he flashes you a smile. "Did I ever mention how adorable your laugh is?" "Yes, Zayn. I believe you may have mentioned it." He laughs loudly, "Well, I believe I'll say it again. Preethi, your laugh is absolutely adorable." His lips press against your cheek, as he leads you out of the hallway into the final room. You take a sharp inhale of breath as you tighten your grip on Zayn. Now, this room is actually quite scary. It's a room of mirrors, the dim light reflects off of each mirror and you notice quickly how some are broken. "Zayn, this is creepy." You murmur, and you hear him nod, and squeeze your hand comfortingly. "You're safe with me, baby girl." you nod quickly, and he lets out a low chuckle as you start to make your way through the reflective maze in silence. Suddenly, 2 figures appear in front of you, both in black cloaks not showing their faces; obviously male, with broad shoulders and towering over six feet, they're an impressive force, immovable and before you can scream, they run over and the taller one grabs you around your waist, and you're frozen in fear, but you open your mouth in a blood-curdling scream as he throws you over his shoulder, the other one grabs Zayn and hauls him in the opposite direction and your eyes meet, and his eyes are surprisingly calm, and you scream out his name, before you enter the darkness of another room on this mans back. Terrified, you beat your fists against the hard surface of the guys back, he lets out a satisfying "oomph." but doesn't put you down. He quickly, and easily opens a huge door, and you're outside of the haunted house, moonlight shining as he sets you onto the ground and then roughly whispers in your ear "Happy Halloween, love." and he takes off, gone before you can blink and you rapidly look around you in the flock of teenagers, but you can't find Zayn. Tears begin to pool in your eyes as you push through the sea of bodies to find him, but he's not there. You start to run out to the parking lot where there's fewer people, when you make it there, you gaze in disappointment, Zayn's not here, either. All you can see is teenage couples, making out on their cars and you turn away, shoulders shaking in sobs as you sit down on the grass. Where is he? Couples pass you, giving you odd looks as they make their way back to their cars, off to do who knows what, and pretty soon, you're one of the few people left. The cold, autumn wind blows your hair, and you tighten your hoodie around you, and wipe tears away from your eyes, you don't know what to do. His phone is in the locked car, and your phone is at home. You can't call anyone, and you put your head in your hands, sobbing. All of a sudden; you hear a musical voice shout out "Preethi?" You sit up, quick as lightning to see Zayn, hands in his jean pockets looking for you and you hastily get up, and sprint over to him, throwing your arms around his neck as you bury your face into his shoulder. "Preethi.." He sighs, and buries his face in your hair, kissing you sweetly as his arms wrap around you tightly. He stops when he hears you sob, and then pulls you so he can look in your face. "You ok, baby?" Your lip trembles pathetically as you reply. "No, you got taken away from me, and I was scared, I didn't know where you were and.." you trail off as his thumb wipes your tears away. "Oh, baby, it's fine... I was looking for you, too, but they took me back to the start of the house, so I had to go through the house all over again to find you. I'm so sorry, I'm such a horrible boyfriend." He groans and you rapidly shake your head. "No, Zayn, you're not." he sighs, "you didn't enjoy yourself." You bite your lip, and honestly say "No, the last half hour sucked, but when I was with you..." you trail off and look up to see his dark eyes gazing at your face. "I love you, preethi." He murmurs, and then gently takes your face in his hands as he brings his lips down to meet yours. "Baby, I love you too." you whisper, mid kiss as you throw your arms around his neck, and his hand slides down from your neck to the small of your back, pulling you flush against him as your lips collide. Gasping for breath, you part, but remain close together, bodies touching and eyes inches from each other as you look into his beautiful, strong face. "Happy Halloween." he says, huskily, smile pulling up the side of his lip as you reply "Happy Halloween." and bring his lips down to meet yours again.
