Blinded Love?

Chapter 3- Pov. Zack

My dreams were packed full of Angel, whether or not they had some perverse meaning behind them was up to what my subconscious had planned. I admit that I often had thoughts about her when I was having some time with myself, she remains one of my favorite topics, but it was different when I was actually in her presence. To actually have her held close to me was like being in another world, one with fairy tales and happy endings. She was happily hugged to my chest with the cutest look on her face, "You belong right here..." I whispered to myself as I ran a hand through her hair, It was soft as silk and smelled faintly of the fruity salon brand shampoo. I ran that free hand down her arm and wasn't surprised to find it was just as soft as her hair.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized she was out of my league by a long shot. I didn't bother to delve any further into the thought. I was distracted by the warmth of her body pressed against mine, from the way she had my leg gripped between hers to the way her warm breath rolled over my neck and sent shivers down my spine. Angel made a muffled noise, it sounded a bit like a hiccup or a squeal. When I looked to see if she was ok I found a heavy crimson color spread across her face and a grin. I snuggled up to her and and went on back to sleep.

We stayed wrapped in each other's arms until dawn, I ended up being pulled from my sleep by an odd dream...I couldn't quite recall what happened exactly but it was something that threw me for a loop. I felt a little bad when I realized I woke Angel up too, I wasn't awake enough to even give an excuse so I leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss. It was still dark out, I'm not the best at thinking early in the morning but even an idiot like me could see it as an opportunity. "Hey babe?" I asked, nudging her before giving her a playful shake...for a moment I felt like a puppy that got excited. "Wanna watch the sunrise with me?"

        "Well duh!" She gave me an exaggerated eye roll, she tried to make it seem like she was annoyed but I could tell she was really trying to hide a smile. I was feeling a little more awake at this point. I knew something that would make it even better; I hurried over to the car, then climb inside to hook my phone to the speakers, I scrolled through my playlist to find the right song...I settled on one of Green Day's softer songs, I hummed along to "Time of your life." as I made my way to her.

"Up for a second dance as the Sun rises?" I giggled, offering my hand to her with a bow. She nodded vigorously, taking my hand in hers as we stepped our way around the cool grass. Everything seemed more sensual, the grass, her touch, her scent, the way the light hit her bare body. I had almost forgotten that we even had clothes, I no longer felt like I should've hid my body in embarrassment...it was hers completely and I didn't mind a bit. I pulled her close to me, feeling her heartbeat in her chest just made me melt. We glanced at the horizon as the warm orange glow gave the sky a pinkish glow that painted over our skin, giving us a warm feeling to go along with those butterflies in my stomach. "I've never been one to pray to some God but I'm pretty sure you're the answer to any prayer I've ever said." I whispered into her ear before giving it a slight nip, "Sorry I'm so naughty with my godsend but I just can't help myself."

        "Don't go acting all bad on me now..." Angel giggled before running a hand lightly up my back; Her hand gently grazed my neck and sent shivers down my spine. "We both know from that little noise you make that you're just my adorable lover.'' She laughed at her joke as the blood rushed to my face. How embarrassing...

"Are you just into my body?" Angel's question threw me off at first; I hadn't really thought about an answer until that point so I didn't have a chance to rehearse or anything. The only thing I could do was answer from the heart and be honest.

        "Are you a fucking idiot?" I know it sounds awful when I think about it now but it was the way I felt it should've started so that's what I did. "Don't be such an moron, babe. You mean more to me than that, and you know it! Sure you've got a body that is always in my thoughts but you're amazing, everything about you has me hooked and I don't want to fight it. You're kind, sweet, caring, interesting, funny, smart, and just absolutely breathtaking. I'm not good at things like these. I can't pull some amazing poem out my ass and just be like POOF! Here you go! Now runaway with me my darling love! It's more like, fuck it! You're mine and that's that! So I know it won't be like in the movies or some fairy tail, and I can't be some prince of your dreams but I'd make my best attempt at playing your hero. I'm just disappointed that this is all I have to offer you." I rambled on, Angel just gave me this odd look for a several seconds. It threw me off and I wasn't sure how she'd handle it. I closed my eyes; I couldn't bear to look at her after embarrassing myself like that. I could feel the word "Dumbass!" playing over and over in my head like a mantra that winded its way into my heart. Then there was a sting on my forehead, when I opened my eyes there she was...smiling at me with tears in her eyes. I thought I had done something wrong for a few moments, but I was quick to change my mind about that when she pulled me into a rather fierce kiss, like if she let go of me I'd crumble away like bits and pieces of a good dream that you can never seem to remember.

"You talk too much..." She said after we broke the kiss. By now it was well into the morning, probably around 8 or 9 o'clock. "We should get going." I nodded as I began balling the blankets together and getting dressed. The covers were practically painted with each of us. I'd have to get them cleaned later, but for now I needed to run her home.

        "Ready?" I asked, something that was answered with a smile and a eager embrace, "Guess my princess liked her first date?"

        She just giggled and gave me a gentle nudge, "Hell yeah!" after that she snuggled against my arm for the entire ride. It was perfect. I guess she was pretty worn out from our lovely montage of PDA because she had passed out and was pretty much asleep by the time we made it to her house. It wouldn't stop me from being a gentleman and escorting her inside safely, so when I pulled into her driveway I made my way to the passenger side, gathering her in my arms as I carried her inside and to her bed...or what I guess was her bedroom, I noticed little pictures of me here and there so I assumed it was her...there was even a cute little shrine for me, I felt kind of creepy when I realized the one I had made her was a bit...much. But to each their own. I decided to head home too after I got her tucked in, I placed a kiss on her cheek and slipped out quietly.
