Through the Dark

The next morning I woke up a few minutes before my alarm. Getting ready for Luke I pick out some beach clothes http://www.polyvore.com/beach_wear/set?id=79105539 that will be great for the heat. Taking my time I set out my shoes, some sun screen, and my Beats. Quickly getting on my computer I set up some good music for a new playlist. My phone rings and I have a text from Luke.

‘Hey beautiful! Are you awake? Hope you didn’t forget about me :D I’ll be over about 9:15’

“Oh how could I forget about you, Luke. You practically knocked me off my feet.” I say laughing to myself.

Out of the shower I dry my hair, put on my shoes, and lotion myself up with the sun block. 9:15 rolling in I look in the mirror one last time. Fixing my hair and putting on my chap stick I hear the doorbell. Seconds later Jeremy is screaming at me from downstairs.

“Sara you have a visitor down here!”

“Wow right on time.” grabbing my Beats I put it around my neck and skip down to the living area.

Last step and I’m frozen. Standing there in front of me is Zayn looking more sexy than yesterday, his dark blue jeans, grey t-shirt, and wearing my favorite leather jacket. Crap.

“Hi. How are you?” he says walking to me.

“Uh hey. I thought you left. Or something.” fixing my clothes I get fidgety.

“We did. But I decided to stay a little while longer.” looking at me he takes my hand “Are you busy today?”

“Uh yeah actually I am. I have plans with a new friend I met yesterday.” looking out the window I don’t see Luke in sight.

“Oh really?” pulling me closer to him.

“Yeah he should be here any minute.” out of his grasp I look at my phone it’s 9:20.

“He?” looking towards the door he takes off his jacket and sits down “Maybe I should wait. I want to met this guy.”

“You don’t have to.” I say getting worried “I just met him yesterday. His name is Luke.”

“Luke huh.” he says looking me in the eyes “So what are you and Luke’s plans?”

“Basically spend the day at the beach.” sitting down next to him “I got my suit on. You know I never been to the ocean. Can’t wait to dive on in!”

“Well better be careful of sharks. And jellyfish. Don’t they have Parana’s here?”

“Stop! You’re freaking me out now.” hands on my cheeks I get worried.

Soon enough there’s a knock on the door and no one seems to speak. Silence. Zayn get up of the couch and heads to the front door. My heart starts thumping and I get nervous. I can hear them talking and then footsteps. Luke approached me with his hands out.

“Sorry I’m late. Had to take a little detour.” helping me up he hugs me.

“It’s okay. Zayn kept me company.” I say looking toward him. I can feel the tension in Zayns body. Imagining his fist tightening ready for a fight I get this urge to make him jealous. If not now then maybe later.

“Well thanks man.” he pats Zayn on the shoulders “So we ready for the beach?”

“Sure am. Um I’ll see you later?” I say to Zayn who is now putting on his jacket.No.

“I’m ready. Let’s go.”

“We? Oh. We.”

“Alright threes a company huh. Let’s do it.” Luke takes my hand and leads us out.

At the beach Luke has everything ready. Our blankets, towels, and drinks. Setting up my area I look over at Zayn who is clearly uncomfortable. Hiding behind his shades and under his umbrella he stares out into the ocean. Luke on the other hand is loving the beach. Trunks on, shirt off, he is throwing a football around with another guy. Soon enough they shake hands and he leaves. Walking back to our blanket he purposely jumps and almost falls on me, again.

“Hey watch it!” I scream dusting some sand off of me “Hey who was that guy?” I say pointing to the stranger.

“Oh I don’t know. Just met him. I think he said, Jimmy?”

“You don’t know him?” laughing I bump him with my arm “You’re a pretty easy going guy Luke. I think if you hadn’t threw me over, we still would have met.”

“Hey! I did not throw you over. You were just in the wrong place, at the wrong time.” he laughs “Hey let’s go in the water.”

“Okay.” Looking at Zayn I see him preoccupied with his phone. “Are you sure there’s no sharks, or jelly?”

“Yes! Come on!”

Luke grabs me and puts me over his shoulders, making his way to the ocean I am yelping and giggling. Soon enough he throws me in. Minutes later we are splashing each other having fun. I look over to our spot and I notice Zayn is gone. Looking around I don’t see him in sight. Did he leave? As soon as I think he’s left I feel arms around me. Startled I look to the side and see Luke playing volleyball with a group of people.

“I was wondering when you would show your face around here.”

Turning around I look up to see Zayn. He takes my chin and pulls my head up.

Kiss.
