Once we got to his house, we took a shower. He let me go first since I was the one who was the most wet. I took a shower and since I didn't bring any extra clothes besides a skirt I had, he gave me his light weight sweater. While Zach took a shower, I wandered into his room. Everything was nicely put away, except for a few things scattered around here and there. I looked at the photos of him when he was a child. Some of them were cute or silly and I laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" he said, rubbing his brown hair into the towel.
"Pictures of you. You were so cute when you were younger, what happened?" I said, smiling.
He gave me a look and then smiled, "I became sexy,"
I laughed, "Sure you did,"
"You know its true,"
"Uh huh," I said putting the photo back in its place.
"I wanna show you something," he said taking my hand, walking out the door.
He was half-naked, without a shirt on. I blushed.
"Umm, aren't you going to put on a shirt or something?" I asked.
He looked down at himself.
"Oh, whoops. I forgot," he looked at me and smiled.
"What?" I asked while he put on his t-shirt.
"Nothing," he said biting his lip, trying not to laugh.
I rolled my eyes. He took my hand and led me to a room in the basement. He had his own little recording studio.
"Do you mind if I record you singing?" he asked, while pushing buttons that I didn't understand what they did.
"Maybe, it depends what song," I said, looking around at the studio.
"The same song we sang at the beach," he said.
"Sure, but hopefully it won't take too long. I've got to meet up with Zoe soon,"
"I promise that it won't take too long," he said while taking both of my hands.
I smiled and he led me to the other half of the room where the microphone was and a pair of headphones.
"Put the headphones and just sing along with the music," he said, walking out the door and closing it.
He pushed a button and I heard the song come on. I started to sing Colbie's part. I finished and he nodded. I opened the door and stood next to him.
"Wasn't that bad, was it?" he asked, smiling pushing more buttons.
"It was the hardest thing in my life," I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.
"Now it's my turn to sing. Just press this button to start the song and then press this one to stop it. Not that hard, okay?"
"Sure...." I said, "I'm totally not going to press the wrong button,"
He chuckled and kissed the top of my head, "You'll do fine,"
He went off into the recording room and put on his headphones. He nodded and I pressed the button to start it. I smiled and sang along with him. The song ended and I stopped the recording. He came back in and edited the two recordings into one.
"Want to hear it?" he asked.
I looked at the clock over the doorway, "I actually have to go, I'm going to be lat-"
He ignored me and pressed the play button. He motioned to a seat next to him and I sat down. I swayed along with the song and smiled. The song finished and I looked at him. He was staring at me again.
I sighed, "There you go again with the staring,"
He laughed, "So what? At least I'm not a stranger staring at you across the room,"
"Ummm, you actually did that when we didn't even know each other yet,"
"Oh," he said, blushing and then looked at me, "How did you know that I was staring at you?"
I looked away trying to hold in my smile, "I don't know,"
"That means you were looking at me," he laughed, "Busted!"
"Not as busted as you in a couple of seconds!" I exclaimed going after him.
He laughed and ran away going towards his room. I followed him and he slammed the door right in my face.
"Open the door right now Zach!"
No answer. Did he climb out of his window?
"Zach?" I said, while opening the door.
I stepped in his room and I didn't see him. I felt something hit my back and I looked behind me.
"Gotcha!" he said charging towards me.
"Zach!" I shrieked as he fell on top of me as I fell on his bed.
We both laughed.
"You'll let me go this time, right?" he pleaded, with his puppy eyes. His eyes always got me, a green gray color.
"You know it's not fair when you do that," I say.
He didn't say anything still doing the puppy eyes and a little pout. I smiled and gave him a quick little kiss on his lips.
He smiled, "I'm guessing that that's a yes?"
I rolled my eyes and he smiled even wider.
"I really have to go now. Zoe is going to kill me if I'm not there,"
"You really have to go right now?" he said pouting again.
"Yes, Zach,"
"I'll let you go in only one condition and you have to agree,"
"Fine," I said.
"Okay," he said and he leaned in even closer to me.
We were only a few centimeters away from kissing. He smiled, looking into my eyes and then to my lips and back to my eyes.
"What do I have to agree on?" I whispered.
"You already know what I want," he whispered back and kissed me softly.
I laid there stunned for a bit with my eyes wide open. But he kept on kissing me and I closed my eyes and started kissing him. By this movement, he kissed me even more passionately. I pulled back away from him.
"I have to go now," I said.
He pouted but stood up and pulled me up along with him.
"This will continue later on," he said, looking into my eyes.
"You mean it didn't even end yet?"
He just smiled and led me out his house and walked me to the sidewalk.
"See you later, sweetheart," he said sweetly and kissed me on the forehead. I smiled and he grinned back at me. I hugged him and then walked away, smiling like a fool.
