Don't lose HOPE [COMPLETED]

Chapter 30

HOPE

I've had so much fun and I don't think I've ever laughed this much.

Evelyn drags me to the Bouncy castle. I've never been in one, so I have to try it. We take our shoes off and start jumping. I'm glad that the bottom part of my dress is a little stiff and doesn't fly all the way up, otherwise everyone would have seen my panties. I went with a navy blue lace, strapless bra and matching panties today. They match the dress even if no one sees them.

This is fun. We're jumping around, laughing, then sit down on the edge and talk.

"So, are you enjoying your party?" Evelyn asks, smiling.

"Yes, it's been so much fun. Thank you for helping setting everything up. It makes up for the waxing."

She laughs. "It was my pleasure, and we're having a lot more of those days at the salon."

I look down at my hands that are resting in my lap. "Thank you for being so nice to me. No one ever has. You're my first real friend," I say, smiling shyly.

She brings me in for a hug. "Awe! Don't make me cry. You're my best friend, you know. You're not like other bitches. You are you. Well, soon, you're going to act a little crazy, but that will hopefully cool down after a while," she says, winking at me and checking the time on her phone.

It's 6:08 pm. I still don't believe that I'm going to act any differently toward Zeke. I mean, how much more can I like him? I'm pretty sure that I'm already in love with him. I mean, how can I not be? He's the most handsome guy I've ever seen. He's the most kind, caring, loving guy. To others, he's tough and holds so much authority, but with me, he's the sweetest guy...and he's hot, so, so hot. Oh my God, I love him so much. My whole body seems like it's on fire and it tingles all over like I want him to hold me and never let go. Like I can't be without him.

Where is he? I can't see him at the table. I have to find him.

Evelyn looks amused at my crazy look when I scan the backyard for him.

"Told ya. He's inside," she says, smirking.

I quickly walk toward the doors that lead into the living room. Before I reach it, Zeke comes barging out with red flashing in his eyes and he's breathing heavily. He searches for me and I stop in my tracks when he finds me standing there. We walk quickly toward each other. I jump up, wrap my arms and legs around him and he catches me and kisses me more hungrily than ever.

Oh God, I don't want this to stop. I love him so much.

He walks us toward the house at the side of the porch while still kissing me. Suddenly, I feel my back against the wall.

Why do I feel like I just want to rip his clothes off?

I run my hands through his hair and he caresses my thighs under my dress while holding me up.

"Ahem!" Kate clears her throat while coming out on the porch with dishes of food in her hands. "Can we please eat dinner before you two mate on the lawn," she says like it was the most natural thing to do.

I snap out of our bliss and blush. What's gotten into me?

"Sorry," Zeke says, smirking. "I just felt what you felt and kind of lost it."

I put my head in the crook of his neck while he carries me to the table like a koala clinging on to him. I feel kind of embarrassed that everyone saw that, but I don't regret it and it quickly slips my mind.

Mmm, he smells so good. How can someone smell so good?

He sits us down with me on the side on his lap. I just sit there watching his big, muscular arm while he has his hand on my thigh. His bicep looks like it wants to escape from that tight shirt. It's going to pop any minute now, I just know it, and I can't wait to see it. His big, muscular, tattooed arm. I start tracing it with my index finger. Maybe the shirt will rip open if I just run my finger over it.
