Zach Herron

Chapter 43

-----------Grace's pov-----------
A few days later
For some reason, Zach and I haven't told any of our friends that we were dating, usually, that's the first thing I do.
-------------Messages------------
G: Why haven't we told any of our friends and remember they are our BEST FRIENDS, that we are dating?
Z: I figured you would have already and they would have ended up texting the boys.
Z: Wait, are we going to talk about what happened after I asked you?
G: We are a couple now so does it matter?
Z: But it was our first time.
G: First time as a couple, yes.
Z: So why shouldn't we talk about it?
Z: Was it bad? 😱
Z: It wasn't how you thought it was going to be, was it? 😔
G: Zach it was our first kiss as a couple. We've kissed before and it hasn't changed.
G: Overdramatic a little?
Z: What can I say, I'm an overdramatic person. 😏
G: What's with that emoji???
Z: Figured you would know...
G: You better not be overdramatic in bed because that'll be a problem 😂
Z: Wanna find out??😏
G: That would be nice right now but that's not what I'm worried about right now.
Z: Damn, you've been a tough cookie lately.
G: Sorry bud.
Z: It's fine. I'm glad we aren't rushing anything right now.
G: No you are glad I'M not rushing things. You're a hormonal boy so all you can think about is getting laid.
Z: So not true
G: Sure, whatever you think.
Z: It's not.
G: Ok, whatever. We need to think about ways on how we are going to tell our best friends.
Z: I come over...
G: 😑
Z: And we tell them when they get home.
G: Ok
Z: Then smash
G: Zachary Dean
Z: Ok.
G: Come over so we can do that but pretend like you asked me today. Ok?
Z: Ok
I set my phone down waiting for him to say those three words first.
Z: I know what you are doing.
G: What?
Z: You want me to say 'I love you' first.
G: Hehe
Z: Shit! I technically said it first as you would say.
G: Yep!
Z: Alright, alright. I love you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
G: I love you too babe😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
10 minutes later
I heard knocks at the door, I rush to the door and opened it not checking who it was first.
G: "When did you learn how to knock?"
My eyes widen to who was at the door.
Ja: "When I found out you and Zach were doing certain things now."
G: "W-What are you doing here?"
Ja: "Jenna wanted me to wait here until she got home. She told me you were home."
G: "I see, well Zach is coming over."
Ja: *nodding slowly* "So has he asked you out yet?"
G: "No, um-"
Z: "Yeah, today Jack."
He said while barging into the apartment with flowers in his hands like when he actually asked me out.
Ja: "Oh, today? Over text message, I'm guessing?"
Z: "No, I was going to ask her when I came over."
Ja: "Sorry to ruin the surprise for you, Grace..." *looking at the ground
G: "It's ok."
Z: "Grace, will you go out with me?"
G: "Yes, yes, yes, 100x yes!"
I was trying to make it like when he actually asked me.
Ja: "Good for you guys..." *looking like he was going to cry*
Z: "Dude, what's wrong?"
Ja: "Nothing man. Um, I should probably go. Grace could you tell Jenna I had to go."
G: "Yeah."
Jack walked to the door and Zach followed. They both went outside.
-------------Jack's pov-----------
Zach walked with me to my car.
Z: Are you sure everything is ok?
He finally said breaking the awkward silence.
Ja: "Yeah man. Why wouldn't it? I've got Jenna."
Z: "You just seemed a little sad when I asked Grace."
Ja: "Zach, I'm happu for you. She's the perfect girl for you."
Z: "I'm really in love with her man."
Ja: "And that's why she is your girl now."
I faked a smile but tried to make it real enough for him.
Z: "Ok, I just wanted to make sure that you were ok because I knew you had feelings towards her too."
Ja: "I'm good. I'm going to head back home. Do I need to come and pick you up later?"
Z: "Can you pick me up in the morning?"
Ja: "Sure man."
He ran back up to Grace's apartment and I drove home. Once I got home, I saw all the other guys sitting in the living room.
D: "Hey, thought you were at the girl's apartment?"
Ja: "No, Zach is there though, with Grace."
C: "Did you walk in on them again?"
Ja: "No, Zach wasn't there when I had gotten there but he did finally ask her out." *trying to hold back the tears*
Jo: "Are you ok man?"
Ja: "Of course, I have Jenna and she's amazing."
C: "As long as you are ok."
Ja: "Well, I'm going to take a nap because that sounds pleasing right now."
They all said ok at the same time and I went upstairs. I feel fast asleep and didn't wake up till the next day.
