Quesoftheday: What's your favorite pet? Do you have one?
"Are you going home in this semester break, I mean after the camp?" Zayn asks as we both come out of the examination hall. Finally our effort for bearing a good grade point has been fruitful because both of us have answered in the exam quite good.
"No I think, I'll not have much time to go home and come back after the camp." I smile looking at the ground, wishing of having a nice family like he has.
"Maybe you should talk to your dad. What if he has changed and already regretting his decision? Our parents always want the best for us and that's why sometimes they mistakenly forces us to do something against our will. He was wrong to marry you off to Luke, a guy you haven't even seen before but he wasn't wrong about Madison though. Maybe a little conversation with your dad may fix this between you two. You told that he used to love you so much, so you should try to contact with him." Zayn makes me to look at him surprisingly.
The next moment I change my expression realizing that he doesn't know all of it yet. I've told him that I've left home being angry with my dad because he didn't accepted Madison as my boyfriend. He also knows that I and Madison has broken up because he likes another girl and cheated on my but he doesn't know in detail.
I just smile instead of answering. Wishing each other a happy day, I walk to my dorm room. For once I decide to do what Zayn has said, to call my father. But I give up the idea at the very next moment. Suddenly my mind reminds me about my date tonight with Liam.
"I haven't even prepared anything yet." I tell myself looking at the clock.
Being confused of what to wear, I shove all my chosen dresses on the bed and look at those tugging up my hair.
After some time, which seems like years to me, I finally decide to wear a white dress which ends above my knees and has full laced sleeves. I curl up my hair and tie them in a messy updo ponytail before putting on some mascara with my everyday blue eyeliner.
*Going out on a date, may be late tonight. -Snow.*
Typing the text to Harry, I slid on my shoes and I hear a knock on the door. Predicting it's Liam I open the door with a big confident smile on my face.
"Where's your date even?" Harry surprises me by entering into the room instead of Liam.
"I don't know..............." I'm cut off when someone clears his throat.
"Sorry I thought............" Liam looks at me and then Harry.
"You're going somewhere with him for a date and you don't know where are you going, so it's a surprise date?" Harry shoots me another question widening his eyes.
"Actually I'm taking Snow out for a movie." Liam answers for me and I nod looking at Harry. I really forgot that Liam has already told me that he's going to take me out for a movie.
"Oh, great. Enjoy! You two are looking great anyway." Harry smiles looking at us but his smile is a little bit hideous if I'm not wrong.
Why is he angry? Because I haven't told him before or because I'm going with Liam? I remember him asking me about Liam once and he likes neither Zayn nor Liam, I know that. But he has no right to be against it, I'm doing my best to cope with his mood swings and keep our friendship as he wants anyway.
"Thanks Harry, see you again." Telling this to Harry, I turn around and Liam leads me downstairs.
Liam holds my hand and we both walk to Liam's car. I intend to open the door beside the passenger's seat but Liam stops me and opens it. He waves his hand towards the seat and I smile mouthing him a thank you. I jump on the seat and Liam sits beside me closing the door.
"I don't like that Harry guy." Liam scrunches his nose.
Oh and he doesn't like you too.
"He's not bad, just sometimes mood swing hugs him tightly." I chuckle and he smiles.
I haven't noticed how gorgeous he's looking. He's wearing a navy blue button up shirt and black jeans. He has given his hair a new cut and it has matched his personality perfectly. I smile looking at his nike shoes, remembering that wearing nike outfits is his signature style.
"I haven't told how gorgeous you're looking right? Because I don't even know how to describe you today." Liam snaps me out of my thoughts.
"Thanks, I love your new haircut." I blush and he smiles. I take a moment to notice how his eyes widen and crinkles appear when he smiles.
After a short ride, Liam parks his car inside a parking lot. We both walk to the movie hall and take our seats at the front row. A young man passes us two t-shirts and popcorns as it was in the premium package.
"And what movie we're going to watch?" I ask Liam.
"Looney tunes on repeat." Liam states and I look at him with popped up eyes.
"Oh God look at your face! I'm joking! I know it's not a suitable movie for our date night." He laughs and then wraps my shoulders with his arm. I feel his cologne hitting my nostrils, a strong one.
"Paper towns?" I read the name of the movie when it appears on the big screen in front of us.
"Yes, Zayn has watched it and he said it's a great one. Let's judge Zayn's choice today." Liam winks and I smile.
I feel myself drowning in the movie. The girl in the movie is really unique and praiseworthy, her attitudes and how her life has treated her, reminds me about myself.
"You okay?" Liam asks and caresses my forearm with his as I dab my finger gently under my eyes.
"Yeah, sorry, I get too emotional while watching movies." I smile and he pouts.
"So you enjoyed it?" Liam asks helping me to stand out from the seat and I nod.
"It was a great one, thanks Liam." I tell and he smiles.
"Let's go, our date has extended." He smirks and leads me to somewhere.
"Where are we going?" I ask when we both walk past the shops.
"I've arranged a dinner for us; hope you like it." Liam sucks in a breath.
"Dinner?" I ask being surprised.
"Yeah, would that be a bad idea to.........."
"No no I was just surprised. Classy and impressive." I smile shyly and he leaves a breath dramatically, keeping his hand on his chest.
Finally Liam stops in front of a two storied building. The lightned board hanging above the door says olive garden restaurant. We both enter into the restaurant and Liam leads me upstairs, on level two.
After passing through a glass store, I find that it's a rooftop garden surrounded with glass. It's raining outside so the total view is looking perfect than anything. I notice a white table and a pair of white chair in the middle on a stage. There's a couch in the left corner of the huge garden and the whole place holds a dim lighting.
"How's it?" Liam asks wrapping his arm around my waist.
"Don't have any word to describe it." I pout looking at him and he pinches my nose.
"Let's go." He smiles and we both walk to the table. He pulls out a chair for me and sits on the chair in front of me after I sit.
"Good evening sir, good evening ma'am. I've been given the opportunity to serve the two of you on this gorgeous tonight. Should I show you the menu?" A young lady appears in front of us and hands us a menu.
After a few minutes, we order lasagna, tuna salad and fries for us. They'll serve us red wine as a special guest offer but Liam orders extra iced colas when I hesitate to drink red wine.
"I haven't tried any food here yet but it tastes good anyway." Liam tells with a mouthful of lasagna.
"Mhm." I nod taking a sip of my cola.
"Is your roommate going to the camp too?" Liam asks dabbing the napkin around his lips.
"Yeah. He's going to the camp."
"Zayn's going home, he's leaving tomorrow morning; his mom got sick suddenly so he has to miss the camp." Liam smiles sadly.
"Yeah, I have talked with Zayn. I asked if I would come with him if her mom is very sick. But he said that it's not that serious. His mom has broken her ankle somehow so he wants to visit her. God knows why he thinks breaking ankle is not that serious." I smile and Liam joins.
After finishing the meal, Liam and I slow dance to some songs and he tells me about his family. I keep listening to him attentively when he tells about his sweet family, about his elder sisters and his mother.
He shows me a family photo and blushes when I tell him that his mother is one of the cutest women I've ever seen. He doesn't ask me about mine and I feel relieved for that. I will tell him all about me before we move further but not today.
Liam finally decides to leave the place and drive us to the dorm. After driving for more than twenty minutes, we finally reach the parking lot.
"It's been a nice day with you Liam." I smile after hopping out of his car.
He comes towards me and puts his arms around my shoulder.
"It's my first date in life and I'm fully happy with it." He whispers and leans towards me.
My heart starts to pump faster watching him looking at my eyes without blinking. He closes the gap between us and plants a kiss on my forehead.
"Goodnight Snow." He tells cupping my cheeks with his hands.
"Goodnight." My voice trembles and creates a weird pronunciation. "Sorry goodnight." I laugh and he laughs too, pinching my cheeks softly.
I walk to my room and swirl the lock. The door opens, that means Harry is in the room.
"Hi." I pull out my shoes after closing the door.
"Hi." I turn around after hearing Harry's voice.
"Had dinner already?" I ask smiling.
"No."
"Why? It's quite late and..........."
"Why do you care? You must've finished dining with your boyfriend......."
"He's not my boyfriend!" I snap widening my eyes.
"Ok fine!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Fine."
"Fine!"
"I know it's fine!" I yell sarcastically looking at him.
I look away from him and walk to the bathroom. I bury my anger filled body inside the warm water of the bath tub and close my eyes. I try to remind myself the sweet moments I've passed with Liam but each time my thoughts are brushed away by Harry's yells from a few moments ago.
What does he think he's? My boss or my dad? Maybe I should know the timing of his mood swings so that I can be outside the room during that time.
I stand up from the tub when my skin starts to wrinkle. I walk inside the room and see Harry lying down on my bed on his stomach, his soft snores feeling the room as always.
"This boy." I frown going near him and lay down beside him after wearing my favorite night shorts and t-shirt.
A stupid smirk tugs on my lips as I feel Harry's hands around my waist and the familiar warmth against my back, I close my eyes after inhaling the vanilla cologne with a long sigh.
