Before He Lied

Tessa Chapter 13

I cant believe he had to audacity to say that I couldn't go on a date after what he did with Sam, he has no right to talk to me at all. I trusted him and he played me, it felt so good with him. The way his hands touched my skin left memories for a life time, to feel his touch again. I wanted something real with him but he didn't want me that way, but with Zach its different. He makes me laugh and smile, I don't feel like a burden when I'm with him.

"Are you alright?" Zach questions.

I quickly snap out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, sorry I just have a lot on my mind."

"We don't have to go out if you don't want to, I know I sprung this on you last minute."

"No, I want to. "

We walk into the elevator and he presses the button to take us to the bottom floor, once we get outside he walks me to his car. He has a white Mercedes Benz, he opens the door for me."

"Thank you." She says with a smile.

"Of course Miss Young."

"Miss Young? You're cheesy."

"Swiss or cheddar?" He jokingly asks.

I roll my eyes before I smile, he lets out a laugh before he closes my door and walks around the car to get inside.

"I love your car, its really nice."

"Thanks, it was a gift from my parents."

Wow, he must be loaded.

"So, where are you taking me?"

"Its a secret, I hope you're hungry."

"Always, I was in a rush this morning and didn't have time to eat."

"Well I guess its good we are going to eat."

He smiles at me and I cant help but blush, he's so charming. He has these dimples that could steal any girls heart in a second. Since its pretty warm outside he puts the sunroof down before he starts driving, the city is so beautiful at night.

"Wow....the city is so breathtaking."

"Yes you are I mean.....it is..."

He starts laughing in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, it slipped out." He says with a grin.

"Don't be, I'm very flattered."

"You wanna listen to some music?" He asks.

"Sure."

He turns on the radio and switches between a few stations before the song "Talk" starts playing.

"Oooo I like this one." She says with excitement.

He turns the volume all the way up, this is such a perfect moment. My hair is blowing in the wind while the music blasts, the lights from the billboards and buildings shine. I look around and its as if it's the first time I've seen the world, this moment is perfect. When I look over at Zach I see him smiling at me, I get butterflies in my stomach.

After driving for 20 minutes Zach pulls up to a very fancy restaurant, Zach opens the door for me and gently grabs my hand to help me out. The valet take his car and I stand outside the restaurant in aw.

"So, are you gonna let me take you inside?" He asks jokingly.

"Zach.....this is so fancy."

"No, its only like one of the best restaurants in Manhattan." He says sarcastically.
