Zak Bagans/Ghost Adventures story. With Nick Groff having left the show, the network decides they want a female investigator to replace him. Zak Bagans is not happy.
He has avoided getting close to women for over two years, after a series of bad exp...
Authors Note: Without giving away spoilers, I hope this chapter doesn't seem unrealistic, or "too soon". I also hope it isn't too far from Zak's personality. I obviously have no idea what he's really like, but I kind of sense he has a romantic side too him.
Anyway, I'll shut up before I ruin the chapter. Lol.
Chapter 64: Birthday Gift
After I blew out the candle, Zak took out two spoons for us and we spilt the cookie and ice cream, Gracie standing up with her paws on the edge of the counter the entire time. I "snuck" her a few licks of ice cream with a third spoon - making sure there was no chocolate - before giving it to her. Zak was sitting right next to her, he obviously could see me. He just smiled.
As we sat at the island, after having finished out desert and enjoying the peaceful moment with just the two of us, I saw Zak open a drawer on his side of the island.
"Time for your birthday gift," Zak said with a smile.
He did get me something...
"You didn't have to get me anything," I said, although I was beyond curious.
Zak just smiled, before setting a small, very familiar shaped box in front of me.
A ring box! What the hell?!
I blinked in shock. It felt like my heart had stopped. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out.
Zak laughed at my reaction.
"Relax doll, it's not what you think. I haven't lost my mind, yet," Zak teased.
I felt my heart start beating again and laughed quietly.
"Jeez..." I mumbled, feeling embarrassed and rather silly for having jumped to that conclusion.
Like he'd ever propose to you, come off it girl, I thought.
"Although, I'm a little hurt by your reaction, if it was a proposal," Zak said, pretending to look upset, his lower lip sticking out in a pout.
I found myself wanting to bite that lip...
I shifted slightly in my seat.
"I didn't mean it in that way. It was just because, well, we haven't even gone on a date or anything," I explained, not entirely sure if Zak was actually a little hurt by my reaction.
Zak smiled reassuringly.
"I know doll, I was just teasing you," Zak said, then motioned to the box. "Open it," he added.
I smiled a bit, relieved I hadn't hurt his feelings.
I reached forward and carefully picked up the velvet box, a bit nervous but also excited to see what it contained. I carefully opened the box and my eyes widened at the ring sitting within the velvet sleeve. It was a silver ring, with one, average size, purple stone - which I assumed was amethyst – and had two knot like designs on either side of the stone.
