Chapter 11

ZARA POV

I woke in the morning with a big smile on my face. The same smile I had since last night. Zack called me when he reached home, wishing me good night and reminded me to dream of him again.  Oh yes, I definitely was dreaming of him, dreaming of kissing him. Even now, I still can feel the warmed of our kisses and already missing him. 

I look at my alarm clock on my side table and it show 8.30 am. I get up and take a shower and was humming happily all the way. I was combing my hair when my phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, I smiled and quickly answered it.

“Hello,” I answered trying to sound not so excited.

“Hello, good morning. Did you sleep well last night?” hearing his cheerful voice on the other side.

“Hmm, yes thank you,” I replied.

“Any beautiful dreams?” he asked.

“Yeah,” I chuckled.

“Am I in it?” I can hear him smile asking.

“Hmm, I’m not sure,” I told him.

“What?” he asked surprised.

“Well there’re too many people in it,” I teased. “Oh yeah, I remember now. You definitely are in it, caused I see you cleaning up my room.”

“What?!!” he chuckled.

“Yeah, I dream I’ve won our bet and you’ve lost. You have become my slave for a week. I dream I have a cane with me, canning you away,” I laughed.

He laughed too “Yeah right, very funny. We shall see who’ll be the slave. I’ll already know what I’m going to do with you. I have a full list of what I going to ask you to do. I can’t wait.”

I laughed with him but after a while I couldn’t stop myself from asking,” Are you coming today?”

“Do you want me to come?” he asked.

“It up to you,” I said softly wishing he’ll say yes.

“Tell me,” he said seductively. I could imagine how yummy he looks right now.

“Do you want to come?” I asked him instead.

He chuckled “I asked you first but you know I do.”

I smiled on his replied “Yes,” I said.

“Yes, what?” he probed.

“I want you to come,” I said to him shyly.

“Hmm… I’ll definitely be coming then,” he chuckled.

“What time are you coming?” I asked eagerly.

“Ah, it good to know that somebody miss me very much,” he laughed.

I laughed “Don’t flatter Mr. Harrison. I actually want you to read my new articles.”

“Oh!” he said surprised. “You already have an idea what to write?”

“Yes,” I said proudly. “It struck me last night.”

“Hmm, so my kiss must have given some good effect on you,” he chuckled.

I rolled my eyes “Well, maybe,” I said.

He laughed “Hmm. I think I’ll accept maybe as yes.”

“So, what time you coming?” I eagerly asked him again.

He sighed “I have to help my dad with some chores around the house this morning. Most probably I’ll be coming after lunch but I have to leave by 3.30pm caused I have my football training at 4.00pm today.”

“Oh, you don’t have to trouble yourselves. Maybe we can see each other tomorrow then,” I tried not to show my disappointment but I think I fail.

“No, I want to see you today. I’ve miss you already,” said Zack. “I’ll come at 1.30 pm right after lunch, ok.”

“Ok, I’ll wait for you.” I told him.

“Good. I see you then. Bye, I’ve got to go,” and we hang up. I smiled to myself. Good to know that he missed me too.

ZACK POV

I went down for breakfast still whistling happily, “Morning mom, dad,” I greeted my parent, both at the table having breakfast and kissing, a normal view in the morning. 

I took out the fresh orange from the fridge and sat beside mom giving her a peck on the cheek.

“Wow, somebody very happy this couple of weeks,” dad teased me.

“Somebody is in love,” teased mom, “That is why.”

“Oh, really,” asked dad. “I wonder who’ is that unlucky girl? “He teased.

“Dad, please,” I smugly looked at him, “Any girl who become my girlfriend is the luckiest girl in the world.”

“Woo,” cooed mom and dad, “Really?”

“Yep,” I said, “Because I would treat her like a princess and love her forever.”

“Hmm,” my dad said thoughtfully, “I believe you’re right and people normally said “like father like son”,” he said proudly. “You mom is very lucky to have me as her boyfriend and husband because that’s how I treat her,” looking at my mom he continued, “Am I right, honey?”

My mom rolled her eyes, “Yeah, like father like son, both are arrogant,” making faces at both of us and continued, “I’m sooooo lucky to be stuck with both,” she mocked.

We all laughed. “So, who’s the unlucky girl?” dad teased again.

“Mandy’s beautiful daughter,” mom answered on my behalf.

“Really?” asked dad smiling, looking at me.

I blushed, “Yep.”

Dad grinned widely at me and slapped on the back, “Wow, You finally make her your girlfriend.”

“Yes, officially, last night,” I confidently told him, when I didn’t actually ask Zara yet, “I think?” I added.

“You think?” mom asked looking at me weirdly.

“Well I haven’t actually asked her yet,” I chuckled.

“And you confidently think she will accept?” asked mom again.

“Yep,” I nodded.

“Wow, you are so confident,” laughed mom.

“Hey, like father like son,” dad injected proudly, “No girls could ever resist the Harrison’s men charm.” I laughed and gave dad high five.

“God,” groaned mom, “You are really like you dad, so confident.”

“Don’t deny it honey,” said dad smiling at mom, “You fall in love with my charm, and you still do,”

Mom poked her tongue at dad, “In your dreams.”  Dad poked his tongue back at mom and I just laughed away. God, I really love my crazy parent.

After helping dad with the house chores and had my lunch, I looked at my watch, it already 1.15 pm. I quickly changed and after telling my parents where I’m going, I walked to the car and drove towards Zara’s house. God, I really can’t wait to see her again. Mr Cunningham answered the door and let me in.

ZARA POV

I was typing my article when I heard the door bell. I looked at my watch, it 1.30pm. Wow Zack time management is really good. I quickly walked out of my room to go down stairs but before I even step down I’ve heard my uncle has invited Zack in and asked him to go straight to my room. I waited for him at the top of the stairs looking down smiling at him and when he looked up and saw me he smiled back. He took two steps at the time and within second he’s already in front of me. I smiled shyly at him, took his hand and lead him into my room.

Our lips were instantly locked into each other once the door closed. God, I really missed him and I could feel him missing me too. We both are so preoccupied with kissing when suddenly we heard Jenny’s voice “Oops.”

We both quickly tore our lips apart. I could feel my face turning red blushing and glanced at Zack who’s also blushing.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. I’ve knock but I guess you both too busy to hear me and the door is not locked so I just come in. Sorry” explained Jenny smiling naughtily at both of us. She was standing at the door holding two beautiful dresses.

I looked up and smile shyly at her. Seeing both of us just blushing away in silence she continued, “Do you mind if I borrow Zara for a while, Zack?”

“Yeah, s..sure,” Zack stammered with his words still blushing.

Putting my hand on his chest, I smiled and said “I’ll be right back,” and nodded his head.

I follow Jenny to her room. I’m still blushing when Jenny scream at me once she closed the door “I know it! I’ve told you so. I’ve told you that you going to end-up with him. Wow, I’m right. So, so right.” she’s babbling.

“Jenny, be quiet. Your parents are downstairs.” I calmed her down.

“Are you officially with him now?” she asked excitedly.

“It too early Jenny, anyway we are just kissing, that all” I told her.

She laugh “Zara my dear, what you both doing just now is not kissing, that’s sucking each other faces.”

I’m blushing again. Changing the topic, I asked her “Do what me to help you to choose you cloth for your date tonight?”

“Oh, yes, please,” she said smiling and quickly shows her dresses.

After finally agreed with what she’s wearing for tonight, I got up from her bed and opened her door to walk to my room before Jenny teased, “Zara, don’t forget to lock you door,” winked at me and giggling. I blushed and smiling back at her before walking to my room.

Entering my room I saw Zack was reading my article from the computer. I closed the door and ensure to lock it this time. He turned around and smile at me. “I thought she said for awhile, but its more than 10 minutes.”

I laughed and went to sit at the edge of my bed beside him, “She have a date with Brad tonight. She always asked me to help her to choose her outfit.”

“Hmm, you’re sort of the fashion consultant for her?” he teased. “Not bad.”

“Hey, I’ve got good taste in fashion, ok,” I told him laughing.

“I know you do, I can see that,” he said raise his eyebrow teasingly me. I’m wearing a Yellow tank top with a track pants right now.

I laughed and playfully hit him “This is what I wear at home, so it doesn’t count.”

“I didn’t say anything. I like what you wear. You look beautiful in anything, I just need to imagine how you look when you’re wearing nothing,” giving me a naughty smile.

I hit him hard this time and warned him, “Zack, behave.”

“Ouch,” he whined “I thought I don’t have to behave when I’m around you anymore.” He moved his closer toward me.

I back up by moving higher to my bed, “You still do.”

He moved on top of me, putting both his hands by my side and trapping me with his legs. “You not going to throw me out through the window, right,” he said smiling seductively at me with his face inches away from me.

“I might,” I said softly but looking at his lips. God, I love his lips, it’s so yummy.

“Really? Are you sure you want me to behave right now?” He asked glazing his lips with mine.

I put my hand around his neck and moved my lips to captures his, but he backed it up so that I miss it. I let out a soft groan.

He laughed “Tell me what you want?” teasing me with his lips again.

“I want you to shut up and kiss me,” I said to him, pulling him closer and eagerly capture his lips. He didn’t back off this time but returning my kiss as eagerly as mine.

Well, our two hours together ended up mostly with both of us making out and only 15 minutes discussing on my new article. He has to leave to his football practice and I walk him to his car holding hands. “So Jenny is going on a date with Brad tonight?” asked Zack.

“Yeah, after the football practice, I think,” I responded.

“What about you?” he asked again.

“Stay at home, what else.” I shrugged.

By then we reach his car, he’s facing me and wrapped both his arm around me and smiling sweetly at me asking “Want to come over to my place?”

“Doing what?” I asked smiling back at him, putting my both my hand on his broad chest at him. I could feel his heat beat.

“Well,” he said pulling me closer to him “We can watch some movies, I can teach you more about football and,” giving me a small peck on the lips he whispers “We can continue what we left off just now.”

I blushed. “I like that.”

“You want me to pick you up?” he asked

“No, it’s ok. I’ll drive myself there,” I told him. “What time do you want me to come?”

“I finished my practice by 6.00pm. So can I see you at 7.00pm?” he replied.

“Sure,” I smiled and we kissed goodbye.
