Zach led me back towards his Bronco parked on the side of the road near the park. He opened the door for me and helped me get in. Once I was situated he closed the door behind me and walked around the front of the vehicle. As he hopped in the drivers seat he grabbed his ball cap sitting on the centre console and put it on backwards. Damn he looked sexy, I thought to myself.

It was then that I noticed that he had seen me checking him out, I blushed and quickly turned away to look out the window.

"I like it when you check me out" he whispered.

I blushed even harder and started staring down at my hands. Zach let out a deep chuckle and reached across to grab my hand. He pulled my hand towards him and kissed the back of it before placing it on his thigh and leaving it there for the reminder of the drive.

He parked the car infant of my building and hopped out, he walked around and opened the door for me. After helping me out of the vehicle he walked me to my door, I pulled him towards me and placed a kiss on his lips.

"Come in?" I asked.

He nodded. 

I placed the key in the door and unlocked it, once inside Zach gently pressed me up against the door placing a kiss on my lips. He grabbed me by my thighs and boosted me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist and deepened the kiss with him.

I pulled away from Zach as unwanted memories started to flood my mind, he placed me gently down on my feet.

"You okay?" he asked sincerely.

I nodded, bit my lip, and looked away.

"No you're not" he replied while gently placing his index finger under my chin and moving my face to look at him.

"It's fine" I mumbled, followed by giving him a quick peck on the cheek hoping he'd drop the conversation.

He took my hand and led me over to the couch in the living room. He sat down and pulled me towards him. I placed a leg on either side of his hips and straddled him. I leaned forward and tucked my head between his collar and jaw. Zach went back and forth between playing with my hair and rubbing my back as we sat in silence. We sat like this for what felt like forever until Zach broke the silence.

"I've finished writing all the songs for the new album, just need to finish up recording before I release it"

I immediately pulled away from him and grabbed either side of his shoulders with a huge smile on my face.

"That's amazing!" I beamed.

Suddenly Zach's demeanour changed.

"I'm so scared it's going to flop" he said while looking down.

I giggled and he looked up to meet my eyes.

"You're ridiculous Zach, your voice is amazing, people love you"

"How do you know?"

"Have you ever listened to yourself sing? You are truly amazing...besides, look at all the people on social media begging for you to release new music"

"Yeah, I guess you're right" he smiled, "did you want to hear a few of the new songs"

I nodded excitedly and got up off his lap and sat beside him on the couch instead.

He got up and picked up the acoustic guitar that was sitting in the corner of the living room collecting dust. He wiped it off gently and then threw the shoulder strap over.

Well, in you
The good I'll do
The good I'll do, oh
The good I'll do


The way the grass smells at night
And you've got flames all in your eyes
As they reflect the sparkler
And you say we'll never die
Grab me by the hands
Just as callused as I am
Say your proud


Well, there's blue jeans in the driveway
And you're walking inside sideways
The wine always affects you in beautiful kind ways
Ask me if I'm staying and I say that I'm sleeping on the floor
Won't you tell me that you need me
'Cause lately I've been needing someone to remind me
I'm worth more than just an evening
I awoke to kitchen smoke, you dancin' like God's moved in you before


Zach continued on singing and finished off the song.

I stood there staring at him, speechless.

"What?" He asked nervously.

"That was amazing..." I trailed off.

"I'm glad you liked it".

He set down the guitar back where he found and it walked towards me. He threw his arms around me and squeezed tightly and before I knew it had had picked me up off my feet and was spinning me around in circles.

"This has been the best date" He stated.

"I couldn't agree more" I laughed as I started to get dizzy.

Zach placed me back on my feet and planted a kiss on my forehead.

"I should get going" He whispered "I'll see you tomorrow"

I nodded and walked with him towards the front door, I gave him a kiss goodbye and watched as he left. I waved goodbye as he drove away and closed the apartment door.
