Runner//Zach Herron

Chapter 38 - That Feeling

Charlotte's POV
December 2, 2016

"Are we there yet?" I whined for what seemed like the thousandth time. "No" Zach replied for like the millionth time. "When are we gonna be there?" I whined. "Soon ,are you peeking?" He asked suspiciously. "No" I giggled squeezing his arms that rested on my face. "Mhm sure" he said doubtingly.

"I'm not!" I defended still laughing at nothing."Okay" he chuckled continuing to walk.

That was the thing about Zach, he always made me laugh when there was necessarily nothing funny. Being with him just made me feel giddy in a sense.

When Zach explained everything to me last night I was so relieved. A while after I went to my room and I saw that a fan had sent me a video. It was footage of what really happened between Zach and Aria.

I feel like we became closer because of what happened yesterday . Something tried to tear us apart but we came out stronger.

This morning Zach told me to get ready because we were going somewhere.

So now we are here and have been walking for about ten minutes which explains why I've been whining about all of the walking.

I was impatient and excited that's why I kept bugging him about it. Zach out his hands over my eyes because he couldn't trust me not to look and to be honest I couldn't blame him.

Which brings us to now. I felt us come to a stop and I got exited. "We are finally here" he chuckled. "Yay!" I squealed. "Are you ready?" He asked teasingly. "Yes I've been ready ever since we've gotten here" I said. "3,2,1" he counted down and removed his hands from my eyes.

My mouth fell agape.

"Oh my God" I spoke ,my mouth still propped open. "What's wrong?You don't like it? I should've put the----" Zach began ranting shaking his head but was cut off when I pulled him to me and kissed him.

He relaxed at my touch and kissed back. I cupped his face in my hands ,molding our lips together.

His hands wrapped around my sides and I could feel him smile into the kiss.

I pulled back still resting my hands on his face as his did my waist.

"Zach I love it, it's beautiful" I said turning around still in his arms looking at it. His arms were now wrapped around my stomach as mine were on his.

Fairy lights hung high from the couple of trees that shaded us. Blankets rested on the grass with cushions resting on top of them resembling a couch.

Separate blankets and pillows rested on the cushions.

"I'm glad" he rested his head on my shoulder and leaned his head on mine.

He broke my hold and walked in front of me. "Care to join me m'lady?" He asked in his British accent holding his hand out and bowing down to me. I chuckled and placed my hand in his.

He led me over to the cushions and that's when I noticed a picnic basket and next to it was a silver bucket with a handle that had ice surrounding what appeared to be wine along with two glasses.

"Zach!" I gasped. "Huh?" He asked. "Is that wine?!" I questioned alarmed. He chuckled "No, it's sparkling white grape juice" he told me. "Ohh..." I said and sat down on the cushions with him slipping my shoes off.

"How long did it take you to do this?" I asked looking around. "Well the guys helped me and I had been planning it since this week and we just set it up today" he explained a grin on his face.

"This is so sweet" I told him still marvelling at my surroundings. "You don't have to thank me princess. You deserve this." he smiled grabbing the picnic basket giving me time to blush at the nickname before he turned back around.
