Zayn watched as Billy made her way around the counter to bring him his drink. He kept his eyes glued to her slender form as she walked towards him. He was smiling at the woman as she she came to a stop near him, handing him his drink. He thanked her as he took the cup. "Fancy seeing you here," Billy said smiling. "How, um... How's Hailee?" Zayn smiled softly as he thought of his daughter. "She's good. She didn't want to go home though. Threw a fit on her mother." he said laughing. "Hey, I'm sorry about rushing out last weekend. Not every day you, uh..." Billy paused for a moment. "Meet someone like you" He gave the woman another smile. "No, it's perfectly alright. I sometimes forget that I'm who I am." he said, joking with her. "Did you get back to...work?" Billy asked, looking about the cafe. "Not yet. I've been finding it hard to get back. I've not had any inspiration as of late." he explained, looking around the cafe. He was surprised that noone had noticed him yet. As he looked back to Billy, he said, "I was wondering if you have any plans for tonight?"

Zayn wasn't sure why'd he'd asked the woman such a question. She'd probably rather do anything else than something with him. Zayn kept his eyes on Billy. He hoped though, that she would agree to spending a bit of time with him. "You know, like dinner or something like that." he mumbled. This confused him. He couldn't remember a time when he'd felt nervous about asking a woman out to do anything. What was it about Billy that had him so..wound up? He would never find out if he at least didn't try to get to know her. Zayn gave her his best smile, hoping to win her over.
