Dear Future Husband - A Kick Fanfiction

Let's Talk

2 Hours Later

Katherine's POV

I walked out of New Look, having just bought some black leather shorts, and a white lace playsuit. I absolutely loved shopping when I wasn't working.

Hmm... Where to next?

Maybe I'd take up Nick's advice, and buy myself some more sexy lingerie for him.

With this thought in mind, I got in my car and drove towards the nearest Victoria's Secret.

When I got there, an assistant instantly approached me. 'Hi! I'm Gemma, and welcome to Victoria's Secret. How may I help you today?'

'Erm... Where are the bras?' I asked.

She lead me to the bra section and I picked out a red lace, a pink and blue floral, a black and white lace and a black strapless. I also added a few push-up bras (because you never know). Since I spent over £150, I qualified for a free hoodie and a three piece travel set. I picked out the purple hoodie.

I decided to take a break, so I put everything in my car, and drove to Starbuck's.

As I reached the main part of town, I noticed a person in the distance, with brown hair and wearing a brown leather jacket with skinny jeans.

Was that...?

I sped up a bit, and my suspicions were confirmed as I saw his face.

Zac.

I stopped the car. 'Zac!' I called.

He stopped dead and slowly turned around. His expression changed when he saw me. It said, "Oh shit".

He cautiously walked over. 'Yes?'

'Get in.' I moved my bag off the passenger seat.

'I can't, I've got somewhere to be...' He was clearly lying.

'Get. In.' I used my no-nonsense-business-like-CEO tone this time.

He reluctantly opened the door and got into the passenger seat.

When he was strapped in, I started driving for Starbuck's again.

'Where are we going?' He asked.

'Starbuck's. I think we need to talk, don't you?' I glared at him.

He kept silent after that.

We soon arrived at Starbuck's, and I ordered two coffees before we sat at a table near the window. Zac was avoiding eye contact.

'Well?' I glowered at him.

'Well what?' He shrugged, keeping his eyes down.

'You know what I want to know!' I hissed, keeping my voice down. I didn't want anyone to eavesdrop on us. 'Don't play that game with me. Why did you do it?'

He kept quiet.

'Zac. You'd better start talking. I want to know why you did what you did at the office. I've got all day.' I shrugged, folding my arms.

'I have a crush on you, okay?' He finally blurted.

I was expecting something like this, but it still took me by surprise. I couldn't wrap my head around it. Zac... had a crush on me? Of all people?

There was an awkward silence for a few moments.

'How long has this gone on for?' I finally asked.

'I don't know. Since I started working for you.' He kept his eyes on the table.

Now I wasn't expecting that.

'Zac.... Zac, listen. You're forgetting I'm married. You can't just kiss a married woman like that.' I used a gentler tone. 'I love Nick. And I wouldn't want to do anything to hurt him. You're my ex-employee. That's not right.'

'I know. I get that now.' He muttered.

'So if that's the case, can you promise to never let it happen again?' I enquired.

'I promise it won't happen again.' He said earnestly.

'Good. So... can we agree to put this behind us?'

'Yeah, okay.' He agreed.

I gave him a small smile and he grinned back nervously.
