~You're the One~

~Heart to Heart~

I looked in to his brown eyes. "You mean..stay over your house?" I asked quietly.
"You don't have to. I would just feel bad if you had to drive at 8:00 at night." He said as he shrugged.
I thought about how the drive here was at least an an and a half long.
I chucked. "I'll take that offer." I sighed.
I swear I saw him smile.
"Come back in then." He said as he motioned towards the door.

After getting situated, Zach brought over another cup of tea.
"You didn't have to do that." I said sympathetically.
"Your already letting me stay overnight".
"I know, but I wanted to. I want to you to feel comfortable." He responded as he sat down.
"Thank you." I whispered.
We both sat in silence for a minute.
"So uh, who's your fiancé?" Zach asked randomly.
"Oh, Marcus Peterson." I said casual as I sipped my tea.
Zach look surprised.
"The Peterson's?" He asked in a surprised tone.
"Yep." I said holding up my finger to reveal an engagement ring.
"God! Look at the thing!" He said holding my hand.
When he held my hand, It's like an electric shock went through my body. My heart fluttered in my chest.
"Damn." He said letting go of my hand.
I looked down at the ring on my finger and couldn't help but look disappointed.
Zach clearly noticed my face. It's like we had a connection. We could read each others emotions without words.
"Do you love him?" Zach asked very seriously.
I snapped my head to look at him.
"This is not an appropriate conversation." I said in an "obviously" tone.
"Just answer the question." Zach laughed.
I sighed.
Tears well up in my eyes and wiped them. I blew my cover.
"Woah woah woah woah." Zach said fast as he came over to me.
He sat down next to me. Our knees touching.
I leaned in to him.
"It's going to be okay." Zach said as he held me.
I felt so comfortable in his arms. The urge to kiss him felt so weak. But I resisted.
"Why don't we hit the hay?" Zach said in a comforting tone.
I wiped my eyes and cheeks.
"Yeah. That's a good idea."
Zach reached out a hand to me.
I took it confused.
"Alright. My room is upstairs. Follow me." He said.
"Why do I need to follow you?" Aren't I sleeping on the couch?" I asked
He turned to look at me. "No. You can sleep in my bed and I'll sleep on the couch." He answered.
"What? No, no, and no. That was not part of the agreement. You sleep in your bed and I'll sleep on the couch." I answered sternly.
"Your not changing my mind Alex. Besides, You know what my bed feels like. You've slept in it." He said crashing his arms and laughing.
I couldn't deny that his bed was comfortable. And that I've slept in it.
"Fine." I said jokingly. "Only because your bed is comfortable as heck." I said walking towards his room.
I heard him laugh from behind me.
I chuckled and went in to the room.
