Hunters And Foxes

Chapter 13: movie night.

Stepping into Zac's apartment I am in love with his enticing scent. For a guy who lives alone it is relatively tidy. I'm sure he has probably tidied up a little more because of me. He has automatic lights that flick on as soon as we step into his living room. Unlike my brothers Zac doesn't smoke so his apartment and body smells like Calvin Klein cologne and organic citrus soap. The apartment is small and cozy. I like it. 

The last time I was here we made cookies for Cassia's birthday. I loved that day so much. I liked Zac so much so I was a giggling mess. It took us nearly 3 hours to make twenty chocolate chip cookies. Zac leads me to the couch before walking into his bedroom to deposit the shopping bags. I kick my shoes off and lay down, making myself at home. 

When Zac returns he chuckles. "Little cutie," he winks lifting my legs and sitting down in their place. He massages my feet subconsciously while Dance Moms plays on the TV.

 It is my favourite programme. I could binge watch it for days. I know it is pretty controversial and catty. But I truly enjoy it, having watched it from the beginning in 2011. I feel like I know the dancers personally. It melts my heart that Zac knows about my obsession for this show.

"What pizza do you want?" Zac asks during an ad break. 

"I'm happy with anything. Chicken anything is superb though. I'm pretty stuffed from lunch as well."

"Let's just get one pizza then. Does Chicken margarita sound good?" 

I nod fiddling with the sleeves of his tee shirt. I feel him flex a little, which makes me giggle. Golly I am falling for this guy. It has been a long time coming. All the nights I have dreamt of us finally admitting our feelings. I am so relieved I no longer have to hide my feelings. He goes above and beyond in the way he cares for me. This may not be a fairy tale but he is pretty amazing version of my prince charming. He taps on his phone for a minute before declaring our dinner has been ordered.

"What movies are we watching tonight?" I tap my feet against his knees. 

"Well I was thinking of Longest Ride because it looks good and I have waited to watch it with you and maybe Man of Steel. I kind of just wanna sit and snuggle you. To make up for the last six months. I've missed you a lot," He admits placing my hands in his lap, tracing the lines of my palms with his finger tips.

"I've missed you too. But you haven't asked me to be your girlfriend yet," I remind him. 

"Shush, I was getting there Pippy. Now you have to wait longer because it would be silly to ask you straight after you told me to ask you."

I chuckle in agreement. Pulling my phone from my pocket. I haven't checked it the whole day. I was enjoying myself so much I didn't need to rely on it to eliminate any boredom. I have a quite a few texts from Luke, who was asking for advice on his date. I think in the end he gave up. I'm sure he figured it out and Eden will like him either way. Storm has sent me a few snaps from her day at the beach with Tommy. On that note Tommy has spammed me on all forms of social media in excitement. He's adorable. I'm glad Storm feels the same way Tommy does. My two best friends dating is the best thing I could hope for. But part of me is nervous I'll lose the special friendship me and Tommy have. He is so precious. He's a best friend I have been waiting for. But I still have Luke through everything. Hopefully Zac is fine with me calling him later on. Luckily they have met. I show Zac a few of the messages from both Luke and Tommy.

"Those guys are love sick. I can't exactly judge them because I'm probably worse," He blushes. The fact I have this effect on him makes little butterflies flitter around in my tummy.

"I'm terrible to be honest. I zone out when people are talking to me because my mind finds its way back to you," I smile sitting up to be face to face with the culprit of my dreamy state.
