        "Zayn, stop it!" Carmen's squeals filled the kitchen as she dodged Zayn who was throwing chunks of cake at her.
                          
        His laughter was echoing in the house. "It's all your fault! You started it." He ran around the island, grabbing her waist and picking her up.
                          
        "Put me down!"
                          
        Instead of answering, Zayn smashed a handful of cake in her face. Carmen laughed and screamed at once, squirming around in his arms. Frosting was layered on both of their faces with some on their clothing.
                          
        "This feels disgusting!" Carmen complained, wiping off some of the food from her face.
                          
        The two rinsed off their faces as best as they could. The sink became dirty with all the frosting and cake. Wiping off her face, Carmen looked at Zayn and couldn't help but laugh.
                          
        "What now?" Zayn pouted, throwing away a paper towel.
                          
        Walking over, Carmen put her hands in Zayn's hair to brush crumbs out. "You still have cake in your hair."
                          
        His brown eyes danced across her face, studying every small detail. The way her eyelashes fluttered as she blinked, her lips parting as she focused on his hair and the way her eyes danced across the scene in front of her.
                          
        Without much debate, Zayn hesitantly brought his hands up to cup Carmen's face gently. She halted her movements, letting her own hands fall down. Her eyes met his, seeing the emotion in them.
                          
        "What are you doing, Zayn?"
                          
        He didn't answer her, instead he pressed his lips gently to her own.
