Emma's POV.

I started walking down the stairs and immediately my feet decided they had other plans. My foot slipped off the step, but thank God for Emma, because I would have fallen flat on the butt.

"Haven't even started the date and you're already falling for him, eh?" Niall smiled at me.

"Absolutely." I didn't bother trying to look or make a witty comeback. I was focused on Zayn. When he didn't look up I started getting worried, but when he finally did he gasped. "That bad huh? If that's the case blame Emma."

He was quiet a moment or so more, looking me over, before opening his mouth. It was barely audible, but I heard it. "Gorgeous."

I smiled when I finally reached the bottom of the staircase and made my way over, giving him a small kiss before taking his hand.

"Save it for your date, loves." Liam patted us both on the back, and ushered us out the back door, until we reached the sand. "Here's where I leave you two." Liam spoke. When I turned to say thank you, he was gone.

We walked slowly and talked alot and we finally made it to a small round table set up nicely for a small candle lit dinner. Zayn pulled out a chair for me and then sat down himself.

"Is this all for me Zayn?"

"No. Well, maybe."

"Zayn." I gave him a pointed look.

"Yes." He avoided for a second, but reached for my hand. "Thank you for coming with me tonight."

"No problem. I'm glad I did." I smiled. "I'm actually kind of hoping this is the first of many great moments with you."

"Of course." Just as he said this, Louis walked up to the table, in a fine suit, with a cloth draped over his arm and a bottle in his hands. "Ah, the wine. Would you like some? It's a merlot."

"Ooh. Yes, please. I love merlot." Zayn grinned and took the bottle from Louis.

"Your meals will be just a moment more sir." Louis grinned and tried to keep from laughing.

Zayn expressed his thanks and poured me a glass. "Wow. this is devine. Who distilled it?"

"This particular bottle is a 1979 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac."

"That sounds expensively delicious."

"Well, if you like it so much I'm glad I bought it."

Zayn's POV

God this is torture. I hate being in public with people like this. Especially with her. I would love nothing more than to trap her in my room and make her mine, but that'll have to wait for a future date.

Restraining myself, I zoned back to what she was saying. I think it was something about taking dual enrollment classes for acting and law. Emma waved her hand in front of my face. "Pardon?"

Emma smiled and laughed. "Earth to Zayn. We have a guest." She pointed to someone by her side and I looked up to Liam.

"Oh. Hello. Thanks." I smiled as he set our plates in front of us. "My compliments to the chef, this looks devine."

"Very well. Enjoy your meal, loves." Liam nodded and turned away.

"I love that you recruited most of the guys to help you."

I hear a guitar softly strumming and a voice singing along with it. This wasn't apart of the plan. I looked away from Emma for a moment to see Niall playing a guitar and Isabelle singing with him.

"All for you, my love." I looked back to Emma and smiled.

After a bit of small talk, we finished our meals and decided to walk down the beach for a little bit.

We had both taken our shoes off and holding hands, we walked through the shallowest of water, making small talk.

Emma's POV.

I slid my shoes back on and walked up to the back door. I smiled and kissed Zayn. No room for warning or objection. We stood on my patio making out for a second, when Isabelle came over and banged on the door. Both of us jumping, we obviously stopped and I glared at my best friend.

Zayn just laughed at us and kissed my cheek." So what do you say to being the official girlfriend of Zayn Malik, artist extraordinaire?"

I laughed and grinned. "It'd be my pleasure." I resumed kissing Zayn and Isabelle banged on the window again. I reached behind me and grabbed a pillow. And smashed it against the window, blocking Isabelle. Zayn and I grinned, but neither of us dared break the kiss.
