The Badboy Project

Chapter Five

I try to die down my thoughts of Zach, but everything fibre of me is buzzing with excitement from his touch. Why do i feel these things for Zach. I sound like a damn damsel in distress, the princess who falls for her knight in shining armour. This is not what we're doing here. I will not become another one of his girls. I have too much respect for myself. I change out of my hoodie and put on a top that fully covers, just in case I bump into him around the house, and climb into bed. I bring my teddy bear close to me and close my eyes. Trying to fall asleep, which I'm clearly struggling to do. I put on some rain sounds, to try and relax my mind. Trying to forget that Zachary Emmerson is somewhere in my house, half naked.... 

*The next morning*

I wake up to a knock on my door, I shout come in. Zach enters in with a cup of coffee and toast. 

"I didn't know what you like, so I thought I'd play it safe and stick to the basics" He says grinning 

I rub my eyes to make sure I'm not still dreaming. I look at him shocked. He's still shirtless. I try to look at the toast, but my eyes betray me by going back to his chest. 

"Thank you, you didn't need to" I whispered 

"I know I didn't, I just wanted to say thank you for being such a good nurse." He winks and leaves the coffee and toast by my bed and leaves, shutting the door not even giving me an option to reply. Not that I would, because how do you even reply to that. 

I scroll down TikTok, while drinking my coffee. How does he know i like it strong? As I'm scrolling i see a video of myself. I'm lying on the bed, naked from the top. It looks like it's from Friday night. The caption says, your Queen bee is no longer a saint, she's a whore. I click on the comments, and they were even worse.

I knew that good girl act as bullshit 

She's such a slut 

At least she's got a nice rack, this one's going into the bank boys. 

Tears are running down my cheek now. Everyone will see this. I don't care that people don't think I'm a virgin anymore, but the fact that now the whole school has seen what I look like. I can't face them, how am I going to go into school tomorrow. 

I down the coffee and can't stomach to finish the toast. I strip off me and wrap a towel around my body, and walk towards the bathroom. I go into a heavy sob, and walk into the bathroom. Zach stares down at me. Oh. He's standing there in my shower, not one bit shy. He takes a long look at me and sees how upset I am. He quickly wraps a towel around himself and comes to me wrapping me in his arms. I start going into a panic attack, I can't get a breath in. He lifts me like I weigh nothing and places me into the shower, under the warm water. He sits down on the shower floor and holds me as I sob. 

"Darling, it's okay. I'm here" He keeps repeating while rubbing my back. 

At this point I forget that the only thing covering us both is a towel. Which are now getting soaked and heavier. My towel starts to drop lower. But his eyes again never falters. He continues to look into my eyes. I take a deep breath and look at him. It's like he can see right through me. He's not only looking into my eyes, but my soul. My breathing starts to calm and my sobs quiet down. I run my hands through his wet hair and over his morning shadow. My hands stop at his jaw, licking my lips I get nervous. I hear Allies voice in my head, 'everyone thinks you're a slut now anyways, do it' I shake my head. He tilts his head, a curious look takes over his face.

I bring my lips to his. My arms fit perfectly around his neck. He lifts me up until I'm stradling him. The water is still falling on us, making the room ten times as hot. I bring my body closer to his, until there's no distance. I continue to kiss him, the kiss is sweet but desperate at the same time. He wraps his hands around my waist, my towel now has vanished into the water. I moan softly, the skin to skin contact that I've never experienced, is pure bliss. I bring my body closer to him, until I feel him under me. He pulls his face away and creates a distance between us. 

"Steph" He pants out looking at me with a desperate look

I look down at myself, "Sorry I shouldn't have done that. Sorry" I squeaked out, my face going redder by the minute. 

He grabs my face, " you think I don't want this, Of course I do. I just don't want you to regret this, you're vulnerable right now. Believe me there's nothing more I want more than this" 

I wrap my body with the towel again, "you don't need to say that just to pity me" 

"I'll prove it" he brings my hand over his towel, and I feel a bump. I jolted my hand away. 

"Okay, okay. I believe you" I push away from him, wanting the butterflies in my stomach to disappear.

He laughs softly, "stay, I'll leave and let you get showered. Let me know when you're finished, then you can tell me what has happened. " as he leaves he plants a kiss on my forehead and shuts the door after him. 

Oh my Gosh, what just happened. What the hell is wrong with me. I quickly jumped in the shower. Trying to wash away what just happened. The butterflies in my stomach are still there and travelling south. Shit, I've never felt this way before. I reach for my phone and call Allie. 

"Hey girl! What's up" Allie gleams 

"Okay really quick, I need to ask you something, it's probably TMI but I've never experiences this with Peter" I rhyme off quickly 

"Is Zach at yours?" she asks 

"Yes, but" 

"Your horny girl" She cuts me off 

"What, how. I didn't even tell you what happened" I say 

"I don't need to know, I can tell by your voice, your breathing is shallow and let me guess you've butterflies in your knickers" she laughs 

"Um, yes. How did you know" i asked her 

"I know a thing or two about girls being turned on" she giggles 

"Right, of course, okay so what do i do?" I asked 

"Girl, I can't answer that. Do what you feel is right, either yourself or Zach. But I got to go do my own, um searching if you know what I mean" she laughs .

"Have fun, thank you" I end the call getting more frustrated. How will I face him. I get out of the shower and wipe the mirror to take a look at myself. I'm dripping wet. Forgetting about the towel, I take in my body through the mirror. I've never had a problem with self image, but right now I feel so insecure. I tie my hair up in a messy bun and wrap a dry towel around myself. Looking at my eyes, they're glazed over. Something I've never seen in myself. I've seen it on boys when they are with Allie, but never myself. I splash water on my face and shake myself out of it. Preparing myself to face the boy, who made me feel things I've never left before.
