Protection, Zack Merrick, All Time Low

Kimberly

I wake up next to Zack the next morning, and smile, at his calm sleeping face. I look down at my little ring, and I can't help but want to tell a friend. I hear Alex in the kitchen, and I crawl over Zack, careful not to wake the sleeping beauty up, and go in the kitchen to find Alex.

"Hey sis, so what did you say?" He asks.

"I said yes, Lex. He, uh, he, gave me um,"

"If he gave you a hickey just come right out and say it." Alex giggles, I blush hard.

"No!" I shove my left hand in his face. "He gave me a promise ring." I want to squeal, and jump for joy, because I've found someone who loves me, who wants to marry me. One day.

I step out of the bus and decide to dial Lisa, "Hey girl!" She says brightly.

"I have news."

"You're not pregnant, right? Two Gaskarth babies at the same time?"

"Lisa!" I chuckle. "No! Zack and I haven't um, haven't done that type of stuff yet."

"Okay then what's your news?" She asks, weary.

"Hang on, let me send you a picture." I took a picture of the ring, and sent it to her,

About thirty seconds after she bables about the baby, she stops for a minute. "That is one small engagement ring."

"No, no Lis it's a promise ring. He told me he loved me for the first time last night!"

"Really? I'm so happy for you!"

"Yes, really. He uh, he asked me to move in with him, and I said yes, but am I ready?"

"Girl why are you over thinking this? Go. You've been sharing a bed with him in a bus for over a month, what difference would it make besides more space?" She asks.

"Being completely alone." I blush.

"You'll be fine. Don't worry, and if you decide you don't want to live with him yet, you can still live with us, just take the step and see how it goes."

"Alright Lis, I will." I hear the bus door open and close, and then I feel arms wrap around me and a face nestled into my neck. "I'll see you soon, love ya!"

"Love you too, and don't forget to use protection."

"You sound like Jack, bye." I hung up laughing and turned around to face Zack.

He was chucklimg, "I'm suprised she would say that." He laughs.

"Nah, she didn't know you heard, she's ladylike around you guys, and with us, she's different." I smirk.

He nods and bites his lips, and I have to get on my tip toes to reach his lip, as he looks into my eyes and I use my teeth to take his lip out of his mouth, and I kiss him gently.

"Jack will be mad I won't be cooking for him off of tour." I snicker.

"I'll have you, and we can cook for eachother. I took a cooking class in High school." He winks.
