Chapter 17: A Beautiful Day (& Night) With You

December 27, 2013, Friday

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

I get a call from the water services, my cold water in back on. Wow, it hasn't even been a month, yet. I look down to see Juliet's beautiful sleeping face. There's so much peace in her face. What do you expect, doofus, that you would live with her forever? Maybe I did, but everything always comes to an end right. I need a jog, I haven't been jogging since I've been out of my place.

I changed to sweats and a sleeveless shirt, if it wasn't winter, I would've worn just shorts. I left a note for Juliet, then ran out.

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

I wake up but there's not the familiar warmth. I get up and see a note on my nightstand:
I'm out for a jog, I might be back at 12.
-Love Zack G.

Good thing Mrs. Benzy, my science teacher, gave us today off. That gives me an idea. After I eat breakfast, I grab two bottles of cold water, my mug of orange juice, then sit on my front porch. After 20 minutes I see Zack running in front of me. It's no wonder he's a model, he looks so hot, even in sweat. I'm such a creep.

I put my mug of orange juice down, get up to kiss Zack, "Hey Zack. Here's a bottle of cold water for you. What lap are you on?"

Zack pants, "9th lap, thanks for the cold water." Then he grins at me, "Want to run-jog with me?"

"Really? You won't mind? Let me go change." He gives me a thumbs up as he's drinking his cold water.

I come back changed into tank top and sweats and see Zack's hair wet. I laugh and he grins, 'though his bangs are covering his eyes. Water droplets drip from his lip ring...so hot!

"What can I say or do, it's hot running, so I decided to pour the water on my head." Then Zack shakes his head back and forth, so water droplets land all over the front yard.

"It's winter, you're going to catch a cold. Don't worry I'll be there to take care of you." I give him a wink then start running. "Catch me if you can."

In no time, he catches up with me, I knew he would. "Honey I jog-run 15 laps everyday, I stopped when I came to your house. On college days, I jog-run at the night. I only skip my jogs, when I'm very busy."

After three laps, I was already tired, I really need to get out more.

"Zack, *pant* can we *pant* stop, please? *pant* I'm tired." I was whining now.

"Just two more honey. I'll give you all the piggyback rides today, if we finish." Zack says giving me a peck on the cheek.

"All the piggyback rides for today? Not a good wager. A week maybe?" I was kidding, but I want to see what Zack will say.

"A week....ok, I'll give you all the piggyback rides you want for a week." Oh my god, this guy is so adorable.

"No Zack, I was just kidding. A day is fine."

"Nope, a week it is!" Then he grabbed my hand, and started running. I started laughing, I can't help it, Zack is just so adorable.

We finally reached my house! We both collapsed on the front yard. I watched his chest rising and falling. The winter breeze was welcomed, it felt good on my sweaty skin. Maddie comes out handing us each a huge bottle of cold water. I love her, she knows exactly what I need, then she went back inside. I now know why Zack poured the cold water on his head, because I wanted to do the same. I chugged my water like I came out of the desert with no food. Zack laughed at me and flicked some water at my face.
