'beep' beep' beep'. If my phone vibrated anymore, it would have dropped of my night stand.
"What?" I screamed down the phone.
"Ooh, someone's in a cranky mood!"
Great. My favourite voice in the whole wide world is calling me..... Zachary. I groaned internally.
"Yeah baby, moan for me. Just like that."
"I will rip that rod you call a or is of your body."
Staring at my ceiling, I wonder where that commentary came from.
"Wow a dominatrix, I like it."
" what do you want?"
I snapped harder than expected but I didn't care. It was Zachary. The guy that annoys the hell out of me, the guy that can't stop pestering me in the hallways, the guy that won't stop making me look like an idiot.
'The guy you're madly in love with'"Well missy, remember you have debt to pay off."
"What are you talking about?"
"The school dance? You know the one you're going to, with me."
"You can't be serious?"
"Well I did save your life! I think you owe me!"
"Okay! Just stop yelling!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"By the way I called your friends to go get you a dress, they should be at your house in five minutes, bye."
"But ho—"
The line was dead before I could ask him how he knew my address. Then it dawned on me, I'm going to the school dance with the most popular, obnoxious, self- centred guy in the whole school- where I'd have to dance and pretend to have a good time.
'You wouldn't be pretending though...'
And just like that there was a knock at the door.
"Joe!"
"What?" I groaned.
"Get the door!"
Yeesh! I got up and slung my robe on since I only had my t-shirt and underwear on. I opened the first door and saw the always beaming Ali, the perky Kye, and the smiley Misty,
"You have 2 mins to get ready we are going shopping... Go. Go. Go!"
"Okay"
Five minutes later I was in the car with the girls. I don't care what everyone says no one can get dressed in two minutes, even five was a massive stress as I had to grab my t-shirt and brush my hair in the car, and I don't even bother with makeup or breakfast. As if on cue my song came on.
You could hear the bass just hit that speaker and flashbacks of Magic Mike just came to me- oh Channing what a beautiful body you have. I think we got so into the song we had to pull over at McDonald's drive through to finish our failed twerk attempts. Ali was driving so she had to settle for sexy hand movements- which was just too funny to watch. I will never know how someone can hear the bass and not want to move
their pelvis in a rotational fashion.Ten minutes later we had finished our McDonald breakfast and reached the mall. I had no idea what I was looking for so I just followed the girls around in shops while they picked thing out for me. They decided my colour was navy blue, I loved the colour so I went with it. I told them I wanted something I could dance in, this was a task easy said than done. Honestly if I'm going to spend so much money on a dress I want to be able to at least move in it. After hours of going through different boutiques we had found the dress. The dress was sexy and seductive but also had a modest vibe to it, the lace and low cut have the dress a 'racy' vibe, but the white bought it all back to simple.
It took my breath away and I hoped I tortured Zachary all night.
'Like that's the only reason?'

After finally getting all of our dresses we decided to just have dinner since it was so late and then meet at the gym later.
I was doing some interval training on the treadmill when I felt the commanding presence of Zachary. I looked to my left and saw him checking me out in my yoga pants and loose shirt. He was looking mighty fine as well. He was in some shorts and a wife beater, I hated the name of those vests.
I felt a swift breeze by my right and turned around to see Jack.
"Long time no see."
"Hey."
He gave me the widest grin in the world and then focuses his attention to his workout, as did I.
Afterwards I stopped at the water machine to hydrate my dry and scratchy throat. I hated cardio and everything that goes with it, the sweaty body, the raise of temperature, the lack of air, the movement. As I reminisced about cardio Zachary came behind me, my whole body was waiting in anticipation while his mouth lowered to my right ear."I love what you're wearing. You know you could just wear this to the dance and I'd be satisfied. With your perfectly round a—."
"Okay."
I walked away and blushed just thinking about what he could have said.
By the time I got home I was exhausted. I just went back to bed without a shower, I was just too exhausted to care about the sweat on my body.
'Beep'
For peat sakes.
'Bet it's from Zach.'
'Is that okay you'll wear your yoga pants to the dance or okay you were too embarrassed and said anything you could to get away from me at that particular moment?'
I just ignored his text drifted to sleep thinking about the endless possibilities of what Zach could have said without me stopping him.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry that I've left it long again. A levels are kicking my ass! I'm gonna try and upload more often. Love you lots 😘
