My Tutor is Zack Merrick?

Chapter 12

Zack

I woke up to Blaze laying on the end of the bed and Shiloh not beside me. I heard the shower running so I assume she is in there. I looked at my phone, I had some texts and missed calls from the guys. I called Rian because he was the first to text me.

"Are you okay? It's almost noon."

"Yes, I'm alright. I didn't get sleep until 4 am. I slept over at Shiloh's because she doesn't want to be home alone." I heard mumbling on the other side, it sounded like he was talking to Jack.

"Please tell me you two didn't fuck."

"No! God, no. Never ask that again. I told Jack and I'll tell you the same thing: She's like a sister to me. I wouldn't dare even try that with her. She's too young anyways." I heard a sigh of relief and Jack screaming out.

"Ignore Jack. He was making me worried by telling me bullshit."

"I understand. I'm sorry I didn't wake up sooner. But Shiloh got a dog for her birthday."

"Nice! What kind?"

"Black lab."

"Aww!!" I laughed a little at Rian.

"Well today is our rest day for the gym, so I'll live. You have a good day and let one of us know if you're alive."

"Alright, dad." I taunted him. We said goodbye and hung up. Shiloh came back in, she had an over-sized hoodie on that came to her knees. I was playing on my phone and she sat on the bed next to me.

"Morning, sleepyhead. You slept in a lot." she smiled.

"I know, Rian called me. He thought I had died." she giggled a little.

"Well, good thing you didn't." I smiled at her and got up.

"Have you fed Blaze?" she nodded. I went downstairs, the pup was digging into the food. I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge, there wasn't much. But I could make pancakes or french toast. I went back to Shiloh, she was still on her bed.

"Pancakes or french toast?" she looked up at me.

"Uhhh, French toast...?" she made a confused face.

"Awesome." I went back to the kitchen and started making french toast. Shiloh came downstairs, she was holding an otter stuffed animal and her sleeves were over her hands. She sat on the counter before yawning and rubbing your eyes.

"I didn't know you had an otter." she looked down.

"I've had him since I was young, his name is Mr. Otterton. I call him Mr. Otter." I smiled and nodded.

"He's cute." like you..shut up Zack.

"Thanks, I think he is too." she smiled at him and hugged him. I finished making the toast, I put them on plates and went to the table, Shiloh following. We sat down and ate.

"This is delicious." she said while stuffing her face. I smiled and continued eating.

"Thank you for breakfast, I've never had french toast before." she grabbed my empty plate and went to the kitchen.

"Really?" she nodded and started washing the dishes.

"What else have you not had?"

"Honestly a lot. We don't cook much cause Dad's always working."

"I understand. It's like that when we are on tour." I helped her put away the dishes up.

"What is it like in tour? Sounds like a lot of fun." she sat back on the counter.

"It can be. We party a lot. But there are times where I just miss home, ya know. But I love traveling and seeing fans and playing on stage, the adrenaline of playing on stage is insane." I shut myself up so I wouldn't start rambling. Shiloh was just looking at me in amazement.

"What's your favorite song to play live?"

"Probably Stella. It has a lot of energy and is just a bunch of fun to play."

"You wanna teach it to me?" I smiled at her question.

"I'd be happy to." we went to her room. I got everything set up and Shiloh sat on the bed.

"So you start with D...." I showed her how to play the song, she was moving her fingers to sync with how I was moving. When I finished, I handed the bass to her. I helped her kept tempo by singing the lyrics. She was doing really good. She got done playing and I clapped.

"That was amazing."

"For a first try, I missed notes."

"And? The point of that song is to be kinda funky so it's ok to miss notes." she made a face at me.

"Do that all you want, I don't care. I still thought you did great and I'm your tutor, so doesn't that have some kind of authority." Shiloh pouted a little and sighed.

"Fuck you." i just smiled and shook away the comment I wanted to say.

"Now, what do you wanna do today?"

"I was wondering if we could take Blaze to the dog park? There's one right down the street, we can just walk there so he doesn't get dog hair all over your car."

"Shiloh, I don't mind that. Alex's dogs get hair in my car all the time-."

"Alex has dogs?!?!?!"

"Oh yea, forgot about that. They were at obedience school, they came back today." it seemed as if a light bulb went off in the girl's head.

"Could we take them to the dog park too...?"

"I'll have to ask Alex, but I don't see why not."

"Yay!" she jumped up and spun around. So adorable.
