CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

"Hey babe can we drop by my house for a second? I want to grab few things if I am supposed to spend the night at yours place." She smiled at him while fastening her seatbelt.

"Sure, no problem." He said while starting the car. "Maybe you should take more clothes? Leave some at my place?" He risked tho he wasn’t sure if it was the right time.

Zendaya looked at him raising her eyebrow. She didn’t know what to say to not hurt his feelings. It wasn’t like she didn’t want too but…

"Too soon?" He asked seeing her face. 

It was like he read her mind cause that was her exact tought. 

"A little bit." Zendaya admited. "Look it’s not like I am totally against it…" She started reaching for his hand. 

"Zendaya it’s okay." He interrupted her but she didn’t seem to notice.

"I just want to wait first and see how it will go…" She kept talking.

"Zendaya, I said it’s okay." Val repeated smiling lightly as he saw his grilfriend totally driven into her little speech.

"And then maybe…." She kept babling like she was in her own world.

"Babe!" He raised his voice.

"Yeah?" She looked at him like she saw him for the first time.

"I said it’s okay, really I agree with you." He brought her hand to his lips kissing it softly. "It was just a spontanous tought." He gave her resuring smile.

"Are you sure?" She had to check if he was being honest.

"Yes I am babe." He kissed her hand again before placing their both interlinked hands on her knee.

"Okay good." She smiled at him. "But just so you know, that proposition showed me you are serious about us." She gave him soft honest look.

"Of course I am serious about us, as serious as it’s possible." He had to focus on the road but Zendaya felt that his words were pure and so meaningful she didn’t need anything else.

"That’s good. We are on the same page with that then." She did the thing that Val loved so much she kissed his hand. Her lips gently brushing over his soft skin for more then few seconds. Her lips formed into smile as she pulled off giving it last quick peck.

They arrived at her house.

"Are you coming in?" She asked opening her door.

"Should I?" He said turning the engine off.

"Yeah, come on!" She encourage him while she got out of the car.

He did the same and as he met her he grabbed her hand and interlinked their fingers together. Zendaya smiled as his touch still send butterflies to her stomach.

They walked up the stairs and right to the house.

"Aunt are you here?" Zendaya yelled.

"I’m in my room!" She yelled back.

"I’m just going to grab few things and I am out." Zendaya screamed again what made Val cover his ears.

"Geez, couldn’t you like walk upstair and tell her that?" Val shaked his head.

Zendaya rolled her eyes. “Grumpy old man.” She giggled before pecking his lips. “I’ll be back in a minute, feel like at home.” She let go of his hand and run upstairs.

"Auntie." She said louder as she walked to her room.

She saw her aunt on the floor with a lot clothes around of her. She looked clueless and lost and a little bit frustrated.
