Chapter 15

VERY Important A/N at the end. :) Also sorry for the long chapter but it's worth it, I promise :))

"...and then he handed me his number, and told me to call him for more details. I'm so excited!" Kellin concluded talking about how he bumped into Mr. Fuentes at the mall today. I wish I could tell him that Mr. Fuentes has a boyfriend and should watch himself, but the fact that Mr. Fuentes' boyfriend is Zack? Kellin can have all of the fun he wants.

"That's crazy! I told you that he wanted a piece of you." I said, laughing afterwards.

"Can you not? I told you that it's just us hanging out. Besides, isn't he dating Mr. Merrick?" Kellin asked. I rolled my eyes.

"And? If he really was faithful to Zack, then he wouldn't have given you his number in the first place. Am I right or am I right?" I responded.

"Whatever, I'm gonna go ahead and call him. Bye."

I hung up the phone, and turned around to see Tony still watching TV.

"Dude, Mr. Fuentes wants to hang out with Kellin!" I told him, just in case he wasn't listening.

"Great," He responded with a plain expression, confusing me a bit.

"Are you okay?" I asked him. He sat up, and took a deep sigh.

"I'll see you later, Jack." He left and closed the door behind him. What's up with him? He's been here all day up until Kellin called me about Mr. Fuentes. Interesting.

I didn't have much to do today, so I cleaned around the house while thinking about Zack, which isn't new. He's basically all that's been on my mind the past month, and especially the past few days. I've been agitated since he left Rian's last night and left me in charge. I haven't heard from him since. Is he okay?

Part of me hopes that him and Mr. Fuentes broke up, which is rude on my part, but can you blame me? From what I can tell, he's nothing but a bitch to Zack. I feel like he doesn't appreciate how amazing Zack truly is.

Maybe I'm just being a bitch. I shouldn't be wishing for them to break up like I have a chance with Zack. If he likes guys like Mr. Fuentes, then I'm way too out of his league.

I was about to make myself dinner when my phone ringed again. I looked down and saw that it was Zack. Zack!

I quickly answered it, and put the phone up to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Zack." His voice sounded like he just woke up. It was low and a bit raspy, just how I love it.

"Obviously," I replied, earning a laugh and 'shut up' from Zack.

"Hey, I need to have a meeting with you, so I'll pick you up in about an hour and we can talk at whatever restaurant I can find. Is that okay?" He asked. Meanwhile, I'm internally lost and externally frozen. A meeting with Zack?! At a restaurant? How am I supposed to even manage to talk to him when I'm directly sitting in front of him?

"Uh, yeah. Sure. That's fine." I managed to say followed with an accidental nervous laugh. I rolled my eyes afterwards. Nice job, Jack.

"Good. What's your address so I can pick you up?"

Shit. I can't tell him where I live! I have to think up of a plan. Maybe if I apologize to May, she'll let me stay there until Zack picks me up. Actually...no. She's in the wrong and I refuse to kiss up to her. I could crash at Tony's is he wasn't in such a bad mood, and Kellin is out with Mr. Fuentes. I guess I'll have to tell him my address then.
