True Destiny

Chapter 21

Zach's POV:-
"Fuck", I yelled as I grabbed the too hot dish of macaroons that I had been making. They were chocolate ones and vanilla ones as well since I knew Dani didn't like chocolate and I was making this especially for him.

"Are you okay?", Daniel said rushing into the kitchen. He must've hurt me shout.

"Yeah. Just burned my hand a little", I answered chuckling as I held up my hand.

He immediately grabbed my hand and examined it, making me blush. It was starting to get red now and the skin on it began to blister.

He immediately let go of my hand after he had examined it and ran out of the room. He came back with a first aid kit and a tube. He placed the first aid kit on the counter and began opening the tube cap. He squirted a little on his palm and began to gently dabbed the burnt area with his finger. It hurt a little and I let out a low hiss as he pressed a little hard on one particular area.

"Sorry", he mumbled as he opened the first aid kit with one hand while his other still remained wrapped around my wrist. He took out the bandage and began wrapping it around my hand. Once it was done, he let go and put everything back in the first aid kit.

"Thank you", I said as he turned to leave. Was he mad at me?

He stopped in his tracks and nodded his head slightly before turning his head a little.

"Be careful next time", he stated his voice soft. Okay. I guess he wasn't mad. I nodded my head and he smiled before leaving the kitchen. I breathed a sigh of relief then went back to finishing plating the macaroons. Once everything had been neatly plated I smiled to myself as I grabbed the tray and proceeded towards the living room.

I entered it to see Daniel, Corbyn, Eben and Jonah sitting there. Jack wasn't with them, he was probably in the garden planting something new. He had been obsessed with that garden ever since we had arrived which was more than a month ago. I settled down on the couch beside Daniel and set the tray on the table.

"What's this?", Daniel asked smiling as he looked up from his phone which he had been using when I came in.

"Uh. Macaroons", I said.

"Yum", he said reaching out for one but I slapped his hand away.

"Ow. What was that for?", he asked pouting while rubbing his hand. He looked cute when he pouted. Yes, I, Zach Herron was in love with Daniel Seavey, the fluffy marshmallow guy.

"They're still hot", I said. "You would've burnt yourself".

He let out a chuckle but didn't say anything. We sat there in silence, Corbyn, Eben and Jonah were playing COD on the Xbox which Corbyn had brought when he had visited home last week. Daniel played COD too but right now he was busy on his phone.

Soon Jack joined us and we decided to play a game of truth and dare. The macaroons had cooled down by now and everyone grabbed one, biting into it.

"Mmm Zee, these taste amazing", Daniel was the first one to comment.

"Yeah. Absolutely fire bro", Corbyn said as he took another bite of his macaroon.

"Thanks guys", I said blushing. Mostly from Daniel's complement though.

The bottle was spun and it landed on Jonah. He chose dare and Corbyn told him to do something, which I didn't hear because I got lost in thought.

My thoughts wander as I began to think about Dani and our perfect future that I had fantasized in my head. Yep, I was completely in love with him. Now, you might be wondering why I don't confess since I'm not the kind of person to hide my feelings. The real reason is I'm afraid it'll ruin my destiny. What if Dani's not part of my destiny and I ruin everything when I confess to him. That was the only reason why I hadn't confessed still.

The bottle landed on Daniel and he chose dare. Jack smirked at me making me immediately dread what he was going to say. Oh no.

"Come on Dani. You have to kiss Zach", he said continuing to smirk at me. What? The nerve.

I looked at Daniel who just shrugged and turned towards me, leaning forward and kissing me softly. God, his lips. I felt a blush creep onto my cheeks as I definitely was not expecting him to do this.

He pulled away and everyone else continued the game casually while I sat there completely shocked and lost in thought. I only came back to reality as I saw Jack get up and rush out of the room. I looked at the others and saw Corbyn looking guiltily at the door. What had he done?
