Nightmare

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Zack

"Well so much for my plan of it being special" I laugh as I watch Dez get dressed.

"Yeah" She laughs "I guess so" Then she holds up her tank top.

"I'll replace that" I laugh. Apparently I ripped it off of her.

"It's okay" She giggles grabbing another tee shirt from her suitcase. 

"So yeah, you saw the ex" I mumble sitting up and putting my shoes back on.

"I stand by my original comment" Dez snaps scrunching her face into a grimace "She looks vile."

"Yeah and she is trust me." I agree shaking my head at the memories of Rachel "That bitch was the one who cheated on me while stealing my money."

"Wow." Is all Dez says while slipping on a pair of sandals "She seems like the type"

"Yeah, now that I clearly see her I can see it." I hiss "I didn't until it was too late."

"It happens" Desiree shrugs throwing her hair into a pony tail "So I need to go check my equipment."

"Yeah I need to as well." I smile, "Want some company while you head down?"

"That would be good." She agrees grinning "And maybe an early lunch since I didn't finish my breakfast, then had a work out I wasn't expecting."

"You didn't work out." I laugh stepping into my shoes "I did all the work."

"Okay yeah you did" Dez laughs grabbing her small backpack "I owe you one"

"That you do" I wink kissing her neck. "I'm looking forward to that."

"Is that so?" She giggles as we walk out into the hallway.

"It certainly is." I laugh as Kat and Matt come into the hallway.

"So you're still alive" Kat laughs poking my chest.

"Barely" I grin "Morning pops"

"Yeah yeah yeah good morning. Stop being loud" Matt snaps looking at me and Dez holding hands.

"Made up I see?" Kat asks Desiree pointing at our entwined fingers.

"You could say that" Dez blushes looking away.

"Special huh?" Kat laughs winking at me.

"Yeah" I laugh "So we're heading down to check our equipment."

"Then getting lunch because uh I'm hungry" Dez giggles

"That's usually why people eat lunch" Matt snaps as Kat rolls her eyes.

"Excuse the emotional retard he hasn't had coffee yet." Kat laughs as we walk down the hallway "Would you two like a little company?"

"Sure" Dez smiles grabbing Kat's free hand.

"Wait, let her hand go." Matt barks quickly

"Stop talking to her like that" Kat hisses but then Matt surprises us by grabbing her hand when Dez's drops it.

"I wanted to hold your hand" He mutters "I promised you I would change." He shrugs.

I catch his eye and nod my approval. He certainly is trying.

"So Matt, Rachel is here." I mutter as we enter the elevator heading to the lobby.

"Oh god." Matt huffs shaking his head "How did that go?"
