Limits. (Zak Bagans Fan Fic)

More Than Skin.

I managed to find myself tossing and turning in bed, still my hand was connected with Zak's as he was still snoring his head off. He must've need the sleep.

When I asked Aaron what happiness is and he answered it I thought his answer was a joke, but not I see clearly what he meant. Not sleeping because of another person, the smile I had consumed my face.

I knew Zak would wake up anytime soon so I ruffled around and snuck out of the room hoping he wouldn't notice I was in there.

I went down and made breakfast for us both, made a few calls, received all 4 packages Aaron was expecting and then decided to go for a run well jog. I didn't want to be around once Zak got up, thinking I was waiting for him to wake up.

I didn't jog for long, I ended up walking the rest of the way back to Aaron's. I had a stitch and I was sweating like a pig, it was utterly disgusting.

I got inside and the house was quite, maybe Zak left already? Only one was hoping.

"Veronica" he popped around the corner with the apple I left next to his breakfast.

"You're up?" I cheerfully answered, I tried to wipe away the sweat but it wasn't working.

"Yea, I actually got sleep. Maybe I need to drink more often" he joked. "I was joking" he shook his head at his answer.

"No you still had night terrors" I answered realising I shouldn't have said it. I tried to smile and just walk away but he followed.

"What do you mean? How do you know?" He called out.

"I-I heard you. It's okay, I came in and held your hand and you seemed to settle?" I already opened my big mouth might've just told the entire story.

"And it worked?" He asked confused.

"Seemed to" I headed into the bathroom and locked it, I took a few steps back and sat on the bath holding my head. "Shit" I whispered.

I couldn't bring myself out from the bathroom, I turned on the shower and sat still on the bath. I was sick just thinking how psychotic I must sound like when o told Zak the story, I finally stripped myself down to nothing and hopped in.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Alright Veronica see you later?" Zak called through the door. I had managed to escape the bathroom and lock myself in Aaron's room for the remainder of the afternoon, I couldn't face Zak.

"Bye!" I called back, short and sweet.

I heard the door close and a car roar away, I unlocked myself from the room and stood by the window watch Zak disappear.

It was impossible to have all these feelings, emotions running through me but here they are. I was completely distracted by Zak that I didn't hear my phone buzz, I gazed over and saw 'Carter Babe' flash on my screen. Guilt ran done my throat but I knew I had to answer it.

'Hello'

'Roni why aren't you home?'

'I'm house sitting, how do you know I'm not home?'

'I'm in Vegas for the night, I knew you were upset so my boss sent to a meeting in Vegas tomorrow but I flew out this morning'

Apart of me didn't care, not one bit.

'Oh um that's great. I'm at Aaron's till tomorrow arvo, did you wanna stop by?'

'Those guys aren't there?'

He seemed very hostile to the idea of me being here.

'No, I'm by myself'

'I'd rather see you somewhere else'

'How about I'll meet you down on the strip in front of the water fountain?'

'Yep be there in 40min'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I waited an hour for Carter, I knew he was going to be late. I tighten up my jacket and sat on the bench, I was giving him 10 minutes then I was leaving.

"Veronica" a voice sounded through the chaotic crowd.

"Zak?" I got up.

"What are you doing? You look cold!" He spat out, he took his jacket off and wrapped it around me. God it smelt good like a male goddess wrapped in sex, I sniffed it a few times as Zak's eyes wandered the crowd.

"Um Carter is here for the night and wanted to meet up but he is like only 20minutes late" I shrugged it off knowing Zak really wouldn't care.

"Would you like me to wait with you? And if he is a no show, I'll take you back to Aaron's?" He offered, he was a good friend and a sweet, gentle man.

"No it's okay,  if he shows up and you're here he might not take it lightly."

"This wouldn't be because he knows you like me?" He teased, he held his hands in his pockets.

"Like? Ha liked." I fought back but it was true I still very much liked Zak and he was making it hard not to fall for him.

"Such a tease." He winked. "If you were mine I wouldn't be making you wait in the cold. Never." He came closer and grazed his finger along my neckline, he touched me like there was more to me than skin. My breathing suddenly picked up and the world around us went blurry.

"Roni!" Suddenly the world was back on track, I heard my names being called and Zak shot his head around and ran off. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye, he left me speechless and confused.

"Roni you okay? Sorry" he hugged me and kissed me "Roni?"

"You kept me waiting.." I trailed off searching for Zak. "I-I uh I gotta go." I pulled myself away from Carter and went to find Zak in a busy Vegas crowd, my chances weren't good.
