✔︎ Simple Beginnings || Zach Herron

<9>

"I missed you, Zach," I said muffled by my face in his chest, it felt amazing. He didn't say anything to me; it was like he had nothing else to tell me. This was very different for Zach, but it doesn't matter right now, all I know is that he is here with me, and all the world of behind us.
"Zach?" I heard Jonah call from a cross the hallway, completely unaware of what we were doing. He barged right into the room only to see us mid-hug, seemed like he didn't care because Jonah rapped his huge arms around us both. Wow, Jonah does have good hugs.
A few minutes went by as all we just stood like this while the others slowly joined
In, before long it was one big group hug which was perfect. As I finally let go of the boys I get an idea, within seconds I'm on hands and knees ready to attack. I first knock jack onto the floor by hitting the backs of his knees causing him to lose his balance.
"Argh! Paige I'm going to kill you!" Jack scream before he could do anything else I had already gotten Corbyn and Jonah on the floor as well. Slinging to get up I launch myself off the deck and head right outside to where the boys had thrown me in the pool before; I hide in a nearby bush and just wait.
"Paige! We know you're out here so just give up!" Zach shouted from unground of me, the perfect spot for my revenge. He stood at the foot of the pool looking away from me, I mean what's not perfect about this moment right now? Exactly, nothing. As soon as the opportunity was given to me, I leaped out of the bush right behind Zach, and before he could register what was going on, I pushed him into the pool.
"Ahh! Paigee! Why did you do that-" before he could speak another word I could see he was drowning. I knew I couldn't swim but Zach is way more important to me than myself, I ripped my shoes off and jumped right beside where Zach was. I started pushing his body towards the edge of the pool; in my case, it was pretty difficult considering I was only 120 pounds. Once I got to an area of the pool, I could touch it was much easier to bring Zach's body up onto the ground. As I hopped out of the pool I looked at Zach, he seemed unconscious, and my first reaction was to give him CPR. I mean he gave it to me so why not make it even? I shook, nervously for a few seconds, am I about to do this? I asked myself, but before my second thoughts came into play, my mouth was on his blowing. It wasn't that long until something was different. He was completely awake, and he was, kissing me! Without a second thought, I kissed back; it was so perfect. As if your lips were made for each other.
As the kiss went on, I slowly started to hear the slow clapping of four boys standing above us. Once the clapping began to become cheering I separated from Zach in complete embarrassment.
"Look I-I'm so sorry Jack. I didn't mean to and-"
"Hah no need little sis, you two are cute together anyway." Once jack exclaimed, I signed in relief. Suddenly I realized Zach was still on the floor, I turned around and used my arms to pull him up. That was very unsuccessful; I fell right onto him again. Zach just smiled and kissed me again.
We went up to his room and started talking even more, it started to become a heated makeup session when I heard noise from outside the bedroom.
