Meant To Be

Chapter 11: to have you wearing nothing but a towel in my room.

"Okay, alright, your punishment is over." Maggie announced and i felt relief rush all over my body.

"Holy shit finally." I said standing up. "I'm so dead and so hot the child abuse is final-" I couldn't finish the sentence because i was tackled into the pool.

Underwater, Zac's bare arms kept me from going out, his body was over mine, i felt the skin of my stomach against his chest and shoulder because of the position, our legs tangled together, his arms tight around my waist.
He impulsed himself up, dragging me with him.

I breathed for air as soon as my head was out and he let go of me. Once i could breathe back normally and my lungs were full of air, i turned my attention to him.
"What the fuck, asshole?"

"I just enjoy getting you wet. And you said you were hot, so i did you a favor." He said smirking, of course. When wasn't he smirking?

"Oh, how thoughtful of you." I sarcastically said while smiling and he splashed my face, water entering my mouth and nosetrills and i choked, coughing for air. The idiot laughed.

"Well, who laughs the last laughs the better." He said swimming backwards.

I approached the stairs of the pool. "And what made you think that was the last laugh?"
I got myself out of the pool and as i pushed my shoes off with my feet i unbraided my hair. With my hand i shook it to get out as many water as possible out of my now curly hair because of the braids and water.
I used my t-shirt that i had thrown to the side to dry myself some more and got inside the house just to hear my mother asking something to Maggie, both sitting on the living room, the Tv on.

"What is heavier? 200 pounds of bricks or 200 pounds of feathers?"

I wasn't going to let her confuse Maggie and earn a mistaken answer from her, as that question was planned to result, so i stepped in. My sudden voice made moth turn. "The answer is the feathers." Maggie looked confused while my mom smiled triumphant, thinking that was my final reply. But she was mistaken. I bent down and grabbed her glass of lemonade and took a ling sip. "200 pounds of bricks is just a bunch of bricks, but if you try to carry 200 pounds of feathers, you also have to carry the weight of what you did to those poor birds." I added and walked away towards the stairs with the glass in my hand.

"I think the hard work affected her." I heard Maggie tell my mom.

"No, she's always been this messed up."

"Heard you!" I warned climbing up the stairs. I went into the guests room and got some towels out of the closet. I got into the bathroom and took a well deserved cold shower.
When i was almost done, the water suddenly went hot. Someone was using the cold water. I screamed when it burnt my body. "Who is taking a shower while i am?!" I screamed. "Zac, i swear if it's you I'm going to fucking murder you!" I quickly turned it off and got out of the shower, walking towards the toiled and flushing it, only so it would make his water hot too and burn him. I heard him curse and smiled. I wrapped my body around a towel and stepped out of the bathroom, not caring that i was dripping wet. I walked across the hall and entered his room, only to find him exiting his bathroom with nothing but a towel around his waist. "You fucking piece of shit do that again and you're dead!" I threatened him, pointing my finger at him.

He rose one eyebrow at me and looked at me from head to toes, a smirk forming its way on his lips. "If i had known it would only take that to have you wearing nothing but a towel in my room, i would have done it before."

I remembered i was naked with a towel and froze. I remembered he was only wearing a towel. We were both naked, only covered by towels that could fall with the slightest of moves. I looked at him and my eyes slid down to his chest and abs, some drops sliding down, and then to his V-line...damn the fucker was hot.
"Asshole." I murmured not knowing what else to say and tightened the grip of my towel quickly going back into the guests room. I found a bikini of mine in the drawer that i had left before. I wore it as underwear and found some denim shorts too. I hadn't left any t-shirt so i went into Maggie and Thomas' room and took one of her t-shirts. It was plain gray and not too big.

I went back downstairs and found my phone. Then i went upstairs again and into Zac's room. He was laying on his bed shirtless with sweatpants on while on his phone. "What the fuck do you want?" He said when he saw me. I ignored him and bent down next to his bed. I found his iPhone charger plugged next to his nightstand and took it. "Bitch give it back!"

I ignored him and got out of his room closing the door behind me.
Again downstairs, i walked into the kitchen and plugged my phone with Zac's charger next to the central island. I served myself some cereal with milk and sat on one of the chairs, waiting for my phone to turn on.

The kitchen door went open and i didn't even bothered to look up.

"Give me back my charger, you ugly whore."

"No, thank you." I replied eating more cereal.

"That wasn't a question."

"I couldn't care less."

He reached for it but i slapped his arm and he instinctively backed up. "Fuck you, Alice. Give it back!" He growled.

"Not until my phone is charged."

"Fucking slut." He tried grabbing it again but i slapped his hand away.

"Dickhead"

And then Maggie walked into the kitchen. "If i hear another word from you too, there'll be more garden work to do." She warned taking another jar of lemonade out of the fridge and exiting the kitchen.

Zac growled and exited the kitchen too.

Finally alone.

My phone screen lighted up and my whole life did as well. I unlocked it and first replied to my friends on iMessage. Then went on Snapchat and finally Instagram.

About half an hour later my mom called me, telling me that we were leaving, so i unplugged my phone leaving the charger there and went outside to looked for my clothes and shoes, then the ones i had left upstairs, and put them all in a plastic bag.
I got inside of my mom's car just when a car pulled in the driveway, and Chad and Frank got out of it. As my mom was pulling away i made eye contact with both and Frank smiled at me and waved, and i waved back.
