Chapter 91: Celebrity Crush

Roughly 15 minutes later...

After Zak had finished combing out my hair, we cleaned up the bathroom and then proceeded out into the kitchen – where Zak suggested we order in a pizza. I hadn't realized until he mentioned food how hungry I was, so I happily agreed.

While he ordered the food, I walked into the living room and sat down on the couch, about to set my clutch down on the table, but then remembered something I want to look at – the drawing of Zak and Emily that Marti had done at the party.

I opened the clutch and took out the drawing, carefully unfolding it, and leaned back against the couch as I looked at it. I studied every detail of it – Zak sitting with one arm resting on the top of the table, with Emily standing close to his left side, her arm reaching across and her hand holding onto Zak's with a smile on her face. She looked so happy – I had forgotten how beautiful and sweet she looked when she was happy – her eyes shining, her face aglow, a smile from ear to ear. I lightly ran my hands over Zak and Emily's hands, and felt my eyes well up a bit.

"Food is ordered. What'cha looking at, doll?" Zak said, as he walked into the living room and sat down beside me. "Oh...sorry," He added softly, upon seeing the drawing.

I smiled slightly as I wiped my eyes and shook my head.

"It's okay," I said softly.

I watched him as he wrapped an arm around me, over the back of the couch, and leaned closer to look at the drawing, a small smile forming on his face as he studied the details.

"She looks like you, or rather, she looks what I imagined you looked like when you were young," Zak said, chuckling softly.

I smiled a bit more.

"Really?" I asked, looking at the drawing again.

Zak nodded.

"Yep," Zak replied. "She's beautiful, just like her sister..." Zak added, smiling at me as I felt his hand play with a bit of my damp hair near my shoulder.

I smiled, despite my face flushing and leaned in toward him, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Thank you Zak...if you hadn't of set up this meeting for me, I probably would never have gotten this," I said softly, lifting up the paper a bit to indicate the drawing. "Even though it's not all that real...I love it," I added softly.

Zak gently kissed my forehead as he adjusted his arm to wrap around me, and he gently rubbed my upper arm with his hand.

"It is real. Just because we couldn't see her, that doesn't mean she wasn't there. I know she was there," Zak said softly, and seriously.

I smiled and felt my eyes well up with tears slightly again, and I turned my head more toward the nape of his neck.

"Thank you..." I whispered, feeling overjoyed at the revelation.

I felt Zak lightly kiss the top of my head before he gently rested his head against the top of mine.

"You're welcome, doll," Zak whispered, his hand now gently stroking my hair.

I smiled to myself and closed my eyes, enjoying the peaceful and happy moment.

"So, what should we watch?" Zak asked after a few moments of silence, as he lifted his head up from mine.

I smiled a bit as I lifted my head from his shoulder and sat forward, folded up the drawing and put it in my clutch.

"I don't know, what's on?" I replied, as Zak picked up the television remote and turned the television on. But, before Zak could even respond to my question or begin browsing through the guide, I suddenly had a realization.
