I pull back to the house after that long but good day with Colton. I see the bimbo from earlier walking out the door, her face flushed. I groan and roll my eyes as hurries to finish buttoning her blouse. She turns to look at Zachary but he has already closed the door. She frowns, and I laugh. Colton looks at me, his brows together trying to figure out whats going on.
" That is Alyssa Smith. AKA the schools biggest bimbo and slut, cheer captin and sister of the footballs quater back. She is Zachary's latest toy." I shake my head after finjishing. He nods his head then says "Wait, and who is Zachary?"
" Errrmmm, he is my ex-bestfriend. We used to do everything together...we grew up together. But he did something and now I hate him." I explain.
" But...why was she comong out of your house?"
" Oh....My darling mother decided we would house him because his grandmother couldn't handle him anymore but he's terrible. And his parents are....are dead."
"Oh." was all he said.
" Anyways, on to none sad topics, lets go find some food to make and a movie to watch if you want?" I say shyly looking over at him.
He chuckles and replies, " Yes, we can do that."
We climb out my car and I get the giddy feeling and I smile and look down. Once I open the door, Zachary turns from the cabinet in just his shorts. I stop abrubtly and nearly fall. He looks at me and smiles. I can't look away, but then he looks past me and his smile turns to a frown. I look behind me and see Colton standing there, I nearly forgot he was here.
" Right. Zachary, Colton. Colton, Zachary." I pause and narrow my eyes at Zachary," Go put on some cloths. And next time, have your fun at her house, not mine. Got it?"
He looks at me in surprise for my attitude," Got it...pumkin." The sides of his mouth turn up and smirks at me.
" Urrrggghhhh." I grab Cotlon's hand and lead him to the couch. I flop down and he sits on the side of me and laughs.
" What are you laughing about?"
" Nothing, nothing." He chuckles shaking his head.
I roll my eyes and put on Safe Haven.
......
" Carter, wake up." I feel someone gently shaking me. I stir a bit but inore them the person and roll over. The perason slips their arms under me and pucks me up. I lean my head on their chest and they carry me to my room. I'm about to go into my dead sleep until the person kisses the top of my head.
" Zach?" I say sleeply. I look around but it's to dark to see. I get no response except hearing my door close. Questions ponder in my head but they will have to wait till tomorrow.
......
Seven in the morning and I'm awake. I can't go back sleep. Wait, how did I even get back in my bed? Screw it, I don't even care. I stand up and change into my bikin top, a pair of orange shorts, my iPod and head out for a run.
My feet pound in the sand, kicking it up and I feel free. I haven't ran in forever. I slow my pace to catch my breathe. I sit on a rocka nd stare in the ocean. Should I be nice to Zachary? Why does he try so hard to get me to like him? Will I see c\Colton again? Hahaha of corse I will, I'm seeing him tonight at the Java Cup. What would dad think of him?
Dad.... I feel a tear escape from my eye. I don't wipe it away, I let it fall along with more to follow.
I feel a hand on my shoulder and I nearly jump out my skin. I pull an earbud from my ear and faitly hear Stay by Rihanna. I turn and see Zachary.
"Hey are you okay?" I asks titling his head slightIy. I wipe my face and smile " Yeah, of couse. See you for lunch?" I stand up rasing my earbud back closer to my ear. Hopefully he will get the hint that I don't wanna chat.,
" Yeah, but.."
I interupt him " Okay, see you then." I begin to run past him but he catches hold of my arm.
Annoyed I ask " Need something?"
He looks down then back up at me, I look down " I just wanna make sure you are okay. Thats all."
" Yeah, okay Zacharay. Like you care. Now let me go or I'll have to punch you again." I laugh mockingly.
Something falshes in his eyes then he is back to his old self, " Didn't I once say I like em fiesty? And you are looking smokin in that outfit."
I jerk away from him and run off, hearing his laughing in the background so I turn my muisc up louder until I can't hear my own thoughts.
I decide Ima run on the sidewalk so I turn and hit the pavment. I feel the tiredness but I push pass it and keep running.
Out of know wheres a car almost hits me. " Holy hell!" I scream.
" You need to watch where you are going and pay attention. I honked like three times."
" Well, How about...Colton?" I look up and he stares at me in shock.
" Carter?! I'm so sorry. Your right I should have been paying attention. Tottaly my fault." He rushes to meet me.
" It's fine. Just give me a ride home" I laugh. He smiles making my smile grow bigger and he nods. walks over to the passenger side and opens the door for me.
I'm to think me and him are gonna be spending a lot of time together. He's everywhere I look. And We stay texting and tslking on the phone.
So its been rwo weeks and as I suspected Colton and I have been hanging out alot. Pretty much everyday. Well, after work, I got a new job at Pizza Galore. But, I think I'm starting to develope feelings for him.
" Hey C." Zach walks in the bathrrom to brush his teeth as I blow dry my hair. I cut off the dryer and look at him. Today he is in a black muscle shirt, dark areo jeans and his black and white Jays. I peel my eyes from him adn he laughs.
" What are you looking at?" I ask, placing a hand on my right hip. He shakes his head and answers " Nothing, but next time you check me out make sure its not noticable. I'm pretty sure your little boyfriend won't like that."
" You are so full of it. One, I was so not checking you out. Second, Cotlon and I are just freinds."
" Are you sure he knows that?" He turns to face towards me. I take a step back when he walks closer to me. " Cause, I don't think he does."
I shove him " Like it's any of your business." And I walk back to my room, only to see the reason why Zachary was laughing. I didn't put on my shirt after I got out the shower. I'm used to just putting on my bra and bottoms, I totally didn't think about it. Great, just swell.
He walks past my room , going downstairs and I yell at him only casuing him to laugh. I roll my eyes and slam my door.
