My heart's desire is a love story between two old friends, Zachariah and Adriel. They go through a lot. Adriel is hiding who she is from her friends and doesn't know what to do. Through all this Zach is falling in love but Adriel is still lost due t...
I cant believe Zach and i were about to kiss. I don't know where i stand, my past was to painful to start a relationship. I needed a shower or else i would have drowned in his beautiful mesmerising hazelnut . I let the water run down my face. I had 4 days left till i move to Tiffs house.

I head to my room thinking about Zach. I get dressed in a black t-shirt with 'nothing but trouble' written on it and black jeans. Suddenly Zae passes by me when i sit on the couch and we both give each other those stupid smiles. I rest on the couch and Zae sits next to me "Are you hungry? ". My stomach grumbles really loud. Embarrassed by what just happened i just nod.
Zach gets his phone texting someone "Were going out today".My eyes widen and i start to feel pain around my waist "Where?.....i can stay if u want me too", "No Adriel, we are going to see my Grandma and i believe she wants to see you". I start to panic in shook. Y didn't he tell me this yesterday. "Why Zach... she doesn't even know me". He stares at me and i look away "Since i broke up with Nat i told her that i have a new girlfriend ". I stay silent and clench my fist "Zae they are other girls who would love to be ur 'fake girlfriend' i cant do this". He scratches his head and i get lost in his curls they were so........ good "Remember u and i agreed that u would do anything for me not to show people ur video". When did i make this decision.....oh....i remember....its all Sahona's fault "Yes, I remember".
Zach's POV
When me and Adriel were about to kiss this morning i got nervous, i think i was falling in love with her, she wasn't like all the other girls. I needed to apologize for making her feel like this
"Adriel am sorry for earlier, i just felt weak". I look at her like a puppy asking for forgiveness when caught stealing doggie biscuits but she scrunches her face confused
"Zach...its okay" she whispers into my ear. Her soft voice and breath makes me loose myself. She gets up and walks away to her room to pack one of her bags incase we don't make it early since the drive was 1 hr.
Adriel's POV
I knew it. Mother Nature had to strike on this particular day and particular time.It was my last day and it wasnt supposed to end up like this I was so not ready to go for a 1hr drive with Zae on my period. I packed a few clothes and u know. Zach was waiting for me so we could go out for lunch. I din't feel like doing anything.
"Drae...drae wake up". I wake up to the sound of Zae asking me where i wanna go. "Am awake Zae", "Where do u wanna go.....anywhere", "Am not sure.....maybe Nando's". He parks the car and we head to there. Zach smiles and holds my hand "What do u want?". I look at him "Anything......Zae we arent at ur Grandmas yet ". He grins and starts to blush.
The waitress serves us our food "Anything else". "NO...its okay ". Zach gives me a dirty look from my food and back to me.
"Drae, are u okay?" he raises a brow and i sip on my caramel latte
"Am great Zae don't worry bout it". The cramps are just getting worse. I didn't wanna eat the chicken anymore. Silence fills our table and i rest the latte on my stomach to cool down the pain. Its never this heavy. Zach just looks at me. Stop pushing my buttons.
"What?" i ask him and he just looks at me
"Drae r--" , "NOTHING"i cut him off and his eyes widen. Suddenly he starts to stupidly smirk at me
"Oh...i get it". I cup my face going through all the thoughts in my head
"Get what i told u , nothing"
"Ur on ur period"
"No am not......ur bad at understanding things"
"We'll see about that"
Zach's POV
The ride was so quiet because Adriel decided that she didn't want to talk to me. She probs going through her mood swings. Finally we arrive at my Grandma's house. Adriel got out straight away and gazed at the Mansion. "Whoah". Adriel looked pretty cute in her outfit. Calm down its not like am going to be in another relationship yet. I needed to heal and let Adriel in before i ask her out.
"Zachariah!!..... sweetie we missed u, and who is this beautiful woman" my Grandma always says something nice bout special guests. I put my arm around Adriel's waist "I missed u too Grandma, This is Adriel my girlfriend" she pushes my arm to the side and i hold her tight. "Hello, nice to meet u". "Hi Adriel am Mrs Marcello, nice to meet u too". Adriel starts to panic cause we staying over and leaving tomorrow "Grandma, imma take a nap from the long drive". Adriel sighs and i smile at her while my Grandma just nods.
"Adriel u look tired, maybe you should take a rest too". "Thx Mrs Marcello, where is my room". " upstairs first room on the left darling" , "Thx".
Adriel's POV
I walk into a beautiful room too take a nap. Only to find out Zae's in my room. "What r u doing in my room Zach". Am so confused here, his grandma just told me to come here
"Ma Grandma said this is where i stay ". I was going to explode if i didn't see the doctor. "Do u have a problem that we sharing the same bed Adriel? "
Ugh why....just why. "No i don't have a problem with that. I'll just sleep on the couch tonight". I was so nervous cause i never do stuff like this. All i wanted to do was sleep so i feel asleep on the bed.
"Drae........drae". Not again
"What.....leave me alone. Am tired". I open my eyes and oh dang. I didn't just see a snack, i saw a full course meal. He run his hands through his curly hair, his 6 pack was on DISPLAY and he had steam coming from his shower. I couldn't stop staring at him. Oh my gosh he caught me. I look away acting innocent
"I know am gorgeous". He started to blush, "Adriel.....u like it"
"Like what Zachariah".
"U know what am talkin bout". Mhm yes i do
"How am i supposed to understand 'it'" . Seriously i needed panadol or nurofen. It goes silent for a minute
"Are u ok, i can get u some pain relief or somethin?" he whispers into my ear softly.
"Yeah....um.... yeah". This was so awkward. I wasnt't even making it that obvious. He leaves the room to grab a few things and he comes back with dark chocolate, panadol, ice cream and a hot water bottle
"Here....hope this helps". I was so out of words
"Thx.....u didn't have to go through all that trouble"
"Don't worry.....its alright". We spent the whole time watching Netflix. I really wanted to ask him about his life and why he lives with his auntie. I saw bruises on his back and i was worried for his safety.
"Imma sleep now. goodnight". "Ok night drae". I rest on the couch but it was so uncomfortable to sleep on. It looked good but didn't feel good. Don't judge me but i ended up sleeping on the bed instead.....with Zach. I faced my back to his face. I could feel his breath on my back.............
