Chapter 12: Rolling Around

December 8, 2013, Sunday

*~~Juliet's P.O.V.~~*

I walk to Matt's house, it's only 9 blocks. Oh my god! You're cheating on Zack already! No, I'm not! Sheesh people, this is how rumors get started by stupid assumptions. I find Matt under his car.
"Hey Matt, you said you wanted to talk, you know it's 10 AM? By the way, I loved the ripped skinny jeans."

Matt rolls out under his car, "Yeah, you're going to Zack's house right now right? Want to give him a bigger surprise by just strolling in there?" Matt's eyes has a mischievous glint to it.

"Depends on what you have to say, so spill."

"I duplicated a key to Zack's house. Here." Matt goes in his house and comes out with a key.

"Umm isn't that illegal?"

His answer to my question was a whistle, but I took the key...and I might not return it. Hehe. I tell him my thanks and walk to Zack's house. I open his door to see him collapsed shirtless on the floor near his couch. There's spots of red around him. Oh my god, is he dead? No, why!?

Then Viva La Gloria! by Green Day starts playing. Oh my god, it's a miracle, Zack groans and gets up, scratching his neck. I run over to him and hug him.

"Oh my god, Zack, you scared the heck out of me. I thought you died, what are those spots of red around you?"

Zack grabs me and now we are both on the floor, "I don't know, why was I on the floor...I'm sure I didn't take any sleeping pills. Is that ketchup around me...Matt. Anyway, how'd you get in?" and then he kisses my cheek.

"Matt gave me a key, he said he duplicated it. Isn't that illegal?"

"Not if I let him, which I did. Be right back, need to brush my teeth."

Then I take a look around at his house, I only know where his bedroom is, but there seems to be more rooms. Zack walks back into the living room, with a shirt on, "Did you eat anything, yet? I'm going to make pancakes with strawberries."

"No, I didn't eat anything, can I have a tour around your house after we eat?"

"Sure, orange juice, apple juice, water, or milk? You should pick milk." Zack teases me with a grin.
I slapped his arm playfully and picked orange juice. He slides my plate full of pancakes with strawberries on top and sits down.

"I love pancakes, they're one of the many foods that I never burned before." Zack says as he pours syrup on his pancakes.

We eat our food in peace and I help him with the dishes, even though Zack told me not to. Then he takes my hand in his and gives me the tour. We walk to his living room and then there's a curtain between the living room and another room.

"Ooh, what's this room for? I didn't see it when we came over during Halloween."

"This is...I honestly don't know what to call it. Living room # 2? I don't know, I guess I'll call it Living Room #2." I laugh and he tugs me to another room, smiling at me.

"This is my mini gym." Zack says pointing to a door near his bedroom.

We walk to the end of the hallway and Zack says, "This is my...'peace' room, I usually come here when I need to cool off or something." I let go of his hand and walk into his 'peace room,' it looks very cozy, but has a sad feeling to it. Across the door, there's a big window with blue-gray curtains, I bet Zack sits by the huge window. On the left of the window, there's a swing that's like a moving sofa. In the center of the room, there's a coffee table with a laptop on top. On the right side of the window, there's a bookshelf full of books. Then there's a door a few inches left of the bookshelf.

"What's that door for?" I point to Zack.

"It's a small bathroom. Come on, I'm boring you, let's move to the last room. It's my game room." Zack says as he takes my hand again.

Zack is too down on himself, "No Zack, really this room is beautiful. But I want to see your game room."

He gives me a small smile and takes my hand to the next room. This room is AMAZING! What grabs my eyes attention is the gigantic TV and game controllers around them. I turn around to face him, "I want to verse you in a game."

"Juliet, you are crazy."

"Please, I always wanted to play, but my brother never let me even touch his controller." Zack stares at me for awhile then hands me a bunch of video games.

"Which one do you want to play?"

"Ooh, this one, I've always wanted to play Assassin's Creed. Oh my god, can we play Kingdom Hearts next, please?"

"Of course, here's how you play Assassin's Creed..."

~2:43 PM~

"Ugh, Zack, stop winning everything!"

"Don't cry dear, you just need more practice." Zack says poking me in the stomach.

We get out of the game room, entering the living room, and then he brings out sandwiches, lunch that we should've eaten an hour ago. I take a seat on the sofa and he does the same.

"Oh my god, this is so good. Zack even though you burn eggs, the rest of the food you make are mouth watering. I can eat this everyday." I say savoring each bite.

"You're crazy if this is mouth watering to you." Zack says as he lays on my lap. Gosh, boys eat too fast, he's already done with his sandwich with like what, five bites? He turns on the flat screen TV and people are dancing the Waltz.

"How do they do that?"

"The Waltz? You want me to teach you? I had to learn for my sister's marriage."

"Aww that's so sweet. And really? You'd teach me?" I finally finished my sandwich.

Zack gets off my lap and tugs on my hand. "Come on, we're going to my peace room."

Zack plays Mortician's Daughter by Black Veil Brides and teaches me. I make all sorts of mistakes, but Zack has a lot of patience. After like seven hours later, yes it took that long, I think I finally got the hang of it. Anthem of Our Dying Day by Story of the Year comes on and it starts raining. Zack murmurs the lyrics in my ear as we are doing the Waltz. The song ends and Zack gives me a smile, "I think you got the hang of it. You still make mistakes, but no one will notice."

Your Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus comes on, "Oh my god, I love this song." Zack smiles, "Let's sway, I want to sway, like we did on December 6." And then there you go, we are swaying like we did in the club. It feels more special now, of course, because we are finally dating.

He kisses the top of my head and sings the lyrics to me:
"When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven"

The song ends and Zack swoops down to kiss me. Oh how I love his kisses, they are so sweet. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back. This time his tongue pokes my lips, I part them and then our tongues start dancing with each other. We pulled apart from each other grasping for air. Zack lays his forehead against mine and is breathing heavily like me. I take a peak from the window and the rain is letting up.

"Juliet, will you stay the night? I promise I won't do anything, I just want to hold you. It's heaven with you in my arms." Aww Zack's ears are red.

"Of course, let me just call Mad---" Zack cut me off, kissing me again. Of course I don't stop the sweet sensation, only an idiot would say no to his kisses.
