Telepathic Love

Chapter 16: Face-To-Face

3rd Person POV

Zac and Isabella decided to meet up at a park. Zac was a little worried about paparazzi finding them, but Isabella reassured him that the park they were going to was hidden and rarely visited.

"Are you sure going to somewhere public is a good idea?" Zac reached out to her.

"It'll be fine," Isabella chuckled. "My parents and I used to go to this park. The only people who know about it are the few houses around it. The houses hide it."

"Wait," he teased her. "Are you saying you grew up around this park?"

"Maybe," she said softly. She ran her fingers through her hair, her face burning. "Are you here?"

"I am," he smiled. "Are you. . ."

Zac stopped talking when he saw a girl staring at him with tears in her eyes. Without having to think too much, he knew it was Isabella. Before he could stop himself, he ran over to her.

Isabella laughed as she started jogging towards him and met him halfway. When they met, she jumped into his arms and Zac spun them around.

He took a shaky breath as he held her close to his chest. Isabella smiled when she felt him tighten his arms around her before slowly putting her down.

When her feet were back on the ground, they slowly leaned out of the hug. Isabella had tears in her eyes as she looked up at Zac. Of course, she had already known what he looked like thanks to him being a famous actor but there was something about seeing him in person that made her heart skip several beats.

Zac, on the other hand, couldn't stop studying her. He had tried not to imagine what she looked like but he couldn't help but wonder. Finally seeing her, she was even more beautiful than he could've imagined.

"Hi," Isabella said.

"Hi," Zac laughed. Hearing each other's voices out loud wasn't any different than hearing them in their heads.

"It's nice to finally meet you," she stuttered. "In person."

"Yeah," Zac chuckled. "In person."

He looked into her eyes, a feeling of completion overwhelming him. Finally being in front of Isabella, being able to hold her hand, touch her, see her, put in the last piece of the puzzle. Isabella gasped as Zac leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.

The kiss started off gentle and slow but quickly sped up as Zac wrapped his arms around Isabella's waist, pulling her closer to him. She giggled into the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Without breaking the kiss, Zac reached up and caught a tear that was sliding down Isabella's cheek. His hand lingered on her face as they continued to kiss. When neither one of them could breathe, Zac slowly broke the kiss. He pressed his nose to hers as they caught their breaths.

"I love you," he whispered. Isabella choked back a sob as Zac said the three words she always imagined someone saying to her.

"I love you too, Zac."
