Rules Of The Game

Chapter 5: Rules Of The Road

Zachary: I need you to do me a huuuuuuuuge favor. And remember, I did make sure you were safe all night. (btw your hot when you sleep🤤)

Zachary: I need you to drive me to the outer city. No questions asked.

Normally I wouldn't even associate myself with Zachary, but oddly enough, we were both in this "Game" together. Zachary has never been a very good liar, but something told me he was going to the ranch for the same reason I was. I threw on a sleek pair of black jeans and a dark purple sweater over my gray tank top. I put on a pair of long, brown boots then walked into my closet.

To Zachary: Meet me by the staircase in 5 minutes exactly. It takes a while to get to the ranch.

Zachary: How do you know about the ranch?
Zachary: Claire

I opened the staircase door and saw Zachary standing there with his hands on his hips.

"You're mighty early."
"So we're going to the Ranch, im guessing."
"Yes Zachary." I said, rolling my eyes, pushing him behind me.

"So, why exactly are you going?"

"You ask too many questions, my gosh. Just be happy you're getting a free ride."

As Zachary and I were on the road to the Ranch, and after about 20 minutes of driving in silence, he slowly slid his hand over to my thigh. It felt nice to have him being his old self again, but I wasn't falling for that.

"Nu-uh. Move." I said, staring at the road, but moving his hand.

"Come on Claire, I know what I did was wrong, and I can fix that now. Just let me prove it."

"You've proved enough."

"Come on Claire, you know I-"

"Were here." I cut him off, on purpose but also on accident, as I stared at what was infront of me.

"Looks like someone else is too."
