Chapter 14: Unexpected Visit

After I wrote down the directions to Zak's place, I ran upstairs to freshen up and change my clothes.

It was a beautiful day out, and I was still feeling the excitement of my new wardrobe purchases from the week before, so I decided on a pair of black jeans that had some tears/holes in the knees and thighs. I paired them with a fuchsia tank top, that had a rhinestone cross design on the front, and a black cross design on the back.

I pulled my hair up into a messy bun, to keep it off my back and shoulders, and put on the bare minimum of makeup

I then found Cheryl in her room, getting ready for Aaron's visit. I told her my plans and we said we'd see each other later.

I got in my car and followed Zak's directions toward his place. On the way, I passed a pet store and made a quick decision to buy a toy for Gracie.

~*~*~*~*~

As I looked over the selection of toys, I heard my ringtone signal I had received a text on my phone.

I took my phone out of my purse and saw the text was from Zak.

"You're not lost are you? :P"

I laughed to myself and typed a reply.

"You shouldn't be texting me while I'm driving Bagans. You're lucky I'm in the middle of a pit stop. To answer your question, no, I'm not lost. I'm quite capable of following directions. ;)"

I held onto my phone as I looked over the toys again.

I knew from seeing pictures and video of Gracie online that she loved basketball, so I decided on a basketball squeeze toy for medium sized dogs. I made sure the squeaker inside worked and then proceeded toward the checkout.

As I waited in line, I received another text from Zak.

"Oops, my bad Doll. Pit stop? You're not bringing a date from Twitter are you?"

I couldn't help but laugh to myself.

"Yes. He's a 'hottie'." I replied, having decided to tease him.

"lol, ugh :P" Zak quickly replied.

I smiled.

"Be there in a few," I replied.

"Alright, careful driving Doll," Zak texted back.

I smiled even more.

~*~*~*~*~

I arrived at Zak's house a short time later and parked in the driveway.

I grabbed my purse and the bag with Gracie's toy from the passenger seat and got out of the car.

As I walked up to the front door, I saw it open and Zak smiled at me from the doorway.

He was wearing black jeans and a grey t-shirt that clung to his muscular form well.
