Strike three.

Zak POV-

Jet lag had knocked me every which way and despite making up with Maria I was still wide awake.

I spent the time watching her sleep, she was a cute sleeper and several times I had to put my finger under her nose just to feel her exhale as she was so quiet.

She rolled over facing me giving a sigh before the brown eyes made an appearance again. A lazy smile pulled on her face and she took my hand giving it a kiss.

"Hey you." I whispered.

"I thought it was all a dream.." She replied with a raspy voice.

"It would have been a good one then." I replied making her smile and nod.

"Did you sleep?" She asked looking at me properly.

"Jet lag, you haven't been asleep a full hour yet." I replied looking at my watch.

"Really? She gave a stretch and sat up finding the hair clip she put her hair up out the way and looked down at herself before laughing.

"Really?" She asked.

"What's that?" I asked cluelessly.

She turned in bed and looked at me.. "That." She pointed just under her boobs where I had left a trail of love bites in the make of a 'Z'

"That came out pretty good." I laughed making her giggle and shake her head. I had a pillow tossed at me and she got up finding her clothes.

"Hey? Where you going?" I asked watching her get herself dressed.

"Come on, you're not staying in this place. It's awful.. I didn't really want to sleep on the bed, that's why I fell asleep on your chest." She answered.

"You do fidget a lot in your sleep." I reminded her.

"I know. Come on." I had my boxers thrown at my face as a giggle followed.

"Can I have a shower?"

"No. Not here.. Please Zak this has to be the worst hotel yet.."

"I know but it was closest to your parents house and even if you didn't take me back... Well at least I was close." I shrugged making her stop.

"You thought I would say no?"

"I was a jerk." I reminded her of that fact.

She frowned and turned around pulling on her dress. I slipped out of bed and zipped her up kissing the butterfly behind her ear.

"I didn't mean to upset you." I whispered rubbing her arms.

"You're going to if you don't get changed. We can shower and sleep at my parents. I'll pack your things just come on." She answered.

I began pulling my clothes on "I didn't unpack, I came straight to you." I replied making her stop.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I wanted to see you."

A small smile filled her face and she came over giving me a kiss before her hands fastening up my belt.

She sighed as I slipped my shirt back over my head and got my things sorted out.

"Ready?" I asked. She did a quick check and nodded happily.

We left the hotel and drove back to her mums talking about how my last lockdown went.

As I pulled up her hand went onto my thigh and Maria looked at me.

"What?"

"They are still here.. Which means he is still here."

"He won't touch you again.. Trust me." I replied parking up.

As we got out the little creep got out of his car.

"DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS SUIT COST YOU STUPID BITC-"

Strike three.

He didn't finished his sentence and Maria gasped pulling me away as I shook my hand after it connected with his face.

"Y-YOU HIT ME!"

"That's for touching her!" I growled. I took a step towards him again when Maria pushed me back and held onto my shirt.

"Zak please.. Please I don't like fighting.. Not after I got attacked."

I looked at her eyes almost pleading and let my anger go. "You're lucky." I snarled and pulled her beside me kissing her forehead.

"I'm ringing the police!" He snapped pulling his phone out.

"Go ahead, whilst they are questioning Zak I'll have them test you for Coke.. Want to clean up after yourself Edward. I don't think the law will take too kindly to having a lawyer who snorts an illegal substance.. Do you?" Maria challenged. He wiped his nose quickly and got up fixing his suit.

"You should go back to Vegas. You piece of trash." He spat at her. I went to go for him but stopped when Maria grabbed my hand.

"Get off my property." She spoke.

"You don't own shit. You're just a cheap tart."

"Fine. Get off my property before I make you." Henry spoke behind us.

Edward blinked and looked at us before stalking away. His parents came out the house apologising profusely and went home.

"Got a mean right there Zak." Henry said and smiled.

"Sorry Sir.."

"Don't be, you did what I wanted to do and my boy that hit him like a train."

"Henry don't encourage the boy." Carmel answered with a little smile.

"He's hardly a boy Carmel!"

"Got that right." Maria mumbled making me smirk at her as she smiles innocently.

"Bring your stuff in then, I'm not heating the world." Henry replied.

I smiled and got my cases out. I followed them inside when Carmel stopped us.

"I'll show you to your room." She smiled taking the stairs.

Carmel stopped by a room and sighed "What's the point.. Maria take Zak to your room, otherwise I'll have creeping around the house at night and you know I'm a light sleeper."

I looked at Maria who was shocked "R-really?"

"Yes, go on. Just keep it down." She gave us both a look and disappeared.

Maria giggled and pulled me into her room instead of one of the guest rooms.

"I thought I was going to be on mission impossible later." I laughed.

"Same here. At least things won't go bump in the night!" She sang and pulled me for a kiss.

I gave her a peck and pulled away "I stink and need a shower so either wait until I come out or...."

"Or I join you." She giggled pulling my shirt off.

"That idea is the best I've heard yet." I replied picking her up and heading to the bathroom.
