Prom: Part 3

Addison
🎀📣🎀📣🎀📣🎀📣🎀📣🎀📣

Once we reach the entrance to the gym where the celebration is held, Zed, ever the gentleman, opens the door for me. I take in the beautiful decorations. On the right side of the gym there are several round tables covered with gold table cloths, and beautiful rose centerpieces. There are also several strands of fairy lights, connecting to each basketball goal providing a dim glow that makes everything look soft around the edges. The "dance floor" is on the left side of the gym. In the center of the court a DJ is set up, already playing music. It's all very lovely and I can't help but be amazed.

As Addison took in the decorations with a look of wonder on her face, I couldn't help but stare, taking in her appearance once more. Her silver and blue dress complimented her hair. I'm glad she left it down, it frames her face in a very flattering way. Everything about her is perfect. Her hair, her eyes, her smile, her lips, everything. "Zed?" Addison's angelic voice breaks me from my daydream. "Yes dear?" I joke.
"I was just asking what you wanted to do first. We could sit down for a little bit, like the others." Addison suggests gesturing to where Eliza, Bucky, Bree and Bonzo are seated. I'm about to agree when the opening notes of our song come from the DJ.

I know it might be crazy but did you hear the story...

I lead Addison to the dance floor and put my hands on her waist. Together we dance to the song and I notice her singing it under her breath. Smiling, I join her, cherishing the smile that brightens her face. Addison rests her head on my chest, and, as we dance I drop a kiss on the top of her head. "Zed?" Addison says. "Hmm?" I ask, content. "I love you." She says lifting her head to look me in the eyes. I smile surprised. We've said it before in zombie, but never in english. Never with her looking at me like she is now, eyes sparkling, looking almost ethereal in the dim lights. "I love you too." I tell her, and to prove it I give her a soft, loving kiss. When I pull away I see a dreamy look in her eyes. It's so adorable that I can't help but kiss her again. "Oh come on guys? In public." I hear Eliza who at some point, must've been talked into dancing by Bucky, as the couple are right beside us. "Cuz, that wasn't something I needed to see." Bucky tells Addison.
"Guys will you please go away? We were having a moment." I grumble.
"Then get a room." Eliza said. "We can't, all the hotels are booked." Addison says cheekily. The three of us stare at her in shock. Addison just made an inappropriate joke. "Oh my god! Did my sweet, innocent, baby cousin Addison, just make a not so innocent joke?" Bucky asked as confused as Eliza and me. "I'm actually full of comments like that, I just don't say them." Addison replies. "Where do you get them?" Bucky asks. "Bucky, I spend more time around Zombies than humans, where do you think I get it?" Addison answers, rolling her eyes. Bucky glares at me. "Hey it wasn't me." I say, holding my hands up in surrender. "No, it wasn't Zed." Addison backs me up. "Then who?" Eliza asks, clearly curious. "I'm not telling you." Addison replies. For several minutes the three of us try to get her to talk, even Bree and Bonzo joined us, but it was clear, Addison wasn't going to say a word. "Okay okay that's enough, it's clear Addison won't tell us." I say, changing the topic. After some muttering and complaining, everyone backs off. "Can we sit down for just a minute? I'm tired." Addison says. I look at her in confusion, we just started dancing, but at the puppy dog look she gives me, I can't say no. "Sure. Come on." I agree, and, together we make our way to an empty table.

I found it extremely gratifying to hear Zed tell me he loves me in english, but then we were interrupted by my cousin and Eliza. Don't get me wrong, I love Bucky, he's family and Eliza pretty much is too, but sometimes they have the worst timing. When Eliza told us to get a room, I decided not to say anything, but my mouth had other ideas. Before I could stop myself, I said something sarcastic and kinda dirty. I may think things like that sometimes but that's the first time I've ever said something out loud. As they questioned me about how I knew things like that, I kept my mouth shut. Finally, Zed got them to stop, much to my relief. But then I thought about the kiss he gave me earlier and how it was way too short. A plan forms in my mind. Giving Zed my best puppy dog eyes, I ask if we can sit down. He says yes, and I'm grinning. We go to an empty table, which just happens to be in the very back corner where the lighting is a little bit dimmer than the rest of the gym, providing a measure of privacy that almost feels intimate. Which is great for what we're going to be doing. We sit down, side by side.
"So why did you really want to sit down?" Zed asks me. I can't get anything past him. "Well...um. Oh I'll just show you." I reply flustered. Before Zed can say anything, my lips are on his. I kiss him firmly and passionately. Slowly it becomes more heated. When Zed licks my bottom lip, I open my mouth. We both moan at the feeling of our tongues dancing. As the kiss goes on, I end up straddling Zed with my dress hiked up around my knees. I know we should stop, but there's something about how scandalous the situation is, or how much trouble we could get in that's intoxicating. We don't even pull all the way back when we need to breathe, we just take small breaths in between kisses. I'm feeling dizzy from the thrill of the situation or maybe it's from the lack of oxygen. Whatever it is, I don't care.
Zed tangles his right hand in my hair, pulling it slightly in a way that feels so good. Ever since I showed my real hair, it seems like Zed can't get enough of it, he always finds a way to touch it, or stroke it. But my favorite is when he touches it like this. His left hand slides from my cheek, down the side of my body, ghosting over the side of my breast, causing me to gasp, before it comes to rest on my hip. I know Bucky won't interrupt us again, he's probably doing something similar with Eliza right now. Nope, there's no one to interrupt us this time. "Addison! Zed? What are the two of you doing?" A voice says, and I know who it is. Turning our heads, I meet the eyes of Principal Lee. Now I wish it was Bucky.
"We were just kissing." Zed offers. The look she gives us suggests she knows ewe we're doing more than kissing. "Well, if you two could kindly keep your public displays of affection down, I would appreciate it. And Addison, I suggest you sit in a chair." Principal Lee, reprimands us. Mortified, I slide off of Zed's lap and into a chair. "Enjoy the rest of your evening." Principal Lee says before walking away, her heels clicking on the polished wood floor.
"That was embarrassing." Zed comments. "Yeah. Is it bad that I wish it were Bucky and not her?" I ask.
"No, the worst thing Bucky could do is yell at us. Principal Lee is way more powerful and way scarier." Zed replies, a shudder going through him. As I think about it, I shudder too.
"Are you cold?" Zed asks me, mistaking my shivers for a sign that I'm cold even though I'm not. When Zed pulls my body into his side, I decide not to correct his assumption. Instead, I snuggle further into him. "Addison? I really, really love you." Zed murmurs.
"Well that's good, because I really, really love you too." I respond, smiling when he plants a soft kiss on my temple. For the rest of the night, Zed and I talk, whispering I love you's and sharing shorter, more innocent kisses. Eventually I must've dozed off, because when I wake up, I'm in Zed's arms, being carried to the limo. I notice Eliza and Bucky next to us, holding hands, and Bonzo and Bree slightly ahead, whispering to each other in zombie tongue. I smile, happy for both couples before closing my eyes again.

When I wake for the next time, I'm in the limo, and we're stopped at my house. I decide to keep my eyes closed. "Addison, I know you're awake love. Come on, we got get out, you're home.
By we, he means Bree, Eliza and myself, as the girls are staying the night. Since Zed's such a gentleman he's probably going to walk me to the door. Not that Bucky and Bonzo aren't gentlemen, but since their girlfriends are going to the same house, there's no real point for them to get out.
"But I was sleeping." I pout.
"Well you're home now, so you can go back to sleep once you get to your room." Zed tells me. "But I want to stay with you." I mumble snuggling into him, still mostly asleep.  I hear Bucky chuckle softly and the girls giggle. "You can't stay with me, not tonight. Besides you must be uncomfortable in that dress, won't it be nice to get it off?" Zed asks me. Deep down I know he's bribing me like a five year old, but the dress really is uncomfortable. Reluctantly, I open my eyes. "Carry me?" I request, giving him my puppy dog eyes again. "Okay." Zed agrees. I hear Bucky make the sound of a whip being cracked. Zed tells him to shut up, before he gets out of the limo. Carefully he picks me up from the seat, and holding me bridal style, he carries me to my door, Bree and Eliza trailing behind. When we get there, he tells Bree and Eliza to go ahead inside. Once they're in, Zed puts me down on my feet gently. I'm more awake now so I can actually talk coherently. "Zed? Will I ever be able to sleep with you?" I ask.
"Someday. Someday you will Addison." Zed replies with a smile. Feeling oddly reassured I smile back. Zed gives me a soft kiss. "Goodnight Addison. I love you." Zed tells me. "Goodnight, I love you too." I tell him, looking him in the eyes. After one more kiss, Zeds ushers me inside and leaves. As I watch the limo drive away I can't help but think of that one word. Someday.

                       The End

Writing this three shot was a little difficult for me. As I was writing, I started having ideas for other oneshots. Thank goodness I was able to stay on task to finish it. In the end it was very rewarding.
