Across waters.

Nine.

I woke up, and Zak was no where to be seen. There was a letter on the bed "gone to get breakfast, make yourself at home xx" and that's what I did. I ran myself a warm bath and relaxed. I kept having visions of last night, the feel on Zak on me, skin to skin, his beautiful eyes looking deep into my soul. I ran the soap down my stomach, I reached my high thigh and I screamed "ouch!" I had bite marks and bruises down my legs. Why didn't I feel the pain of them last night. I got up and chucked a pair of undies and Zak's t-shirt on and ran downstairs.

I could hear his car pull in, I sat down so he couldn't see them. He came through the door wearing a tank top and sweats, he looked hot. "Ahh *kisses my forehead* sleeping beauty is awake, how do you like your eggs?" He smirk as he started cooking, "I like my eggs scrambled chef" I walked up behind him and started to nibble on his neck. He started to wiggle and and he grabbed hold of my hands and yanked me up onto the table. We locked our lips, he ran his hand down my thigh and I couldn't but jumped and yelp. "Holy shit!! What the fuck?" He looked angry but then his facial expression changed and it became more sad, I think he knew he caused them. "It's okay, just come here." Of course bruises hurt but I wasn't gonna let it ruin everything, but I could tell being bothered by it. "Okay. I'm going to get dressed and I'm going to work." I got really pissed off, like really he is acting like this.

I shouted bye to Zak and I made my way to work, I was a bit riled up and his little hissy fit about my thighs. They didn't bother me, so why bother him? Work flew by, emergency tonight was full on. By the time I came out to work Zak was standing by my car with flowers. "I'm sorry for how I reacted and those marks." I couldn't be mad at him for too long, I laughed; blushing, I accepted the flowers and gave him a hug. He followed me back to mine where he stayed the night. We stayed up all night talking, Zak was opening up about his past relationships and his commitment issues, then brought up the topic about us. "Woah. Us? Ha" I was trying to grasp the idea of us together, like yea we've done all the things couples would do but I didn't know Zak liked me like this, I was a bit shocked. "You don't wanna be my girl?" His fave look shattered "omg I would love to be your girl but I didn't know you felt this way!" He laughed and called me stupid, then kissed me. "Yea it's official, you're my girl" I couldn't stop blushing.

Th next day Aaron, Zak and myself went for lunch. Aaron was happy for Zak and myself, Aaron started rambling about how much he used to talk about me and the fact Zak needed to meet me and they made a plan for Aaron to spill a drink on me just so Zak meet me. I looked at Zak all embarrassed and blushing "I can't believe you did that!" I started laughing too. We where all having a great time. They took me home and off the went to figure out their next lockdown.

I was going through my missed calls and I had a very important call from the embassy. "Good morning Kay, we have discovered a fault in your international citizenship, you need to return back to Australia in three weeks, any issues call us." Beep, beep, beep. My heart sunk, i panicked. I quickly made bookings and had to alert work, I leave tomorrow night. I don't understand what's going on! I had to go to Zak and explain to him.

I rushed to Zak's, I knew he was busy but I'm hoping he'd listen to me. "Kay what are you doing here?" He seem confused, he knew that I knew he didn't want to be disturbed. "Zak I have to leave Vegas tomorrow night, there's and issue with my passport." I couldn't help but tear up. "You can't go... Tomorrow what!" He was now angry. I tried explaining to him but he was shattered. "I'll come back I promise." I left him to it, I had to go pack.

The next afternoon I was ready to go, I just needed to call a cab, as soon as I did Zak came through my door. "You're really going?!" He yelled, it felt like he was assuming I was backing out of everything. "I told you, I have to go. I don't wanna go cause I'll be leaving you.." I started to sob. He cuddled me and started to kiss me. "But I'm gonna miss you" I told Zak that I would even miss more. He offered to take me to the airport. I started to worry, what if I can't come back? What if he finds someone else? Here comes the tears, he took me to the departure gate. I held him tight, I looked into his eyes "I love you, Zak" he smiled and gave me a kiss and whispered "I love you so much Kay" It was the best way to end something horrible. I waved goodbye, he watched me walk away and then I saw him leave. I was alone again.

"Flight DJ886 Las Vegas to Los Angeles, cross over to Australia boarding now" this is it.
