Bad boy~zach herron

By the time I got home I was waiting for a text from Zach. I wanted to meet him so bad. I wanted him to help me get back on track. So I was going to wait. And wait.

As I was picking out which bathing suit to wear I heard something hit my window. I ran over to it anxiously and saw Zach standing there with a tennis ball. I quickly opened the window and smiled over at him.

"Hey he smiled. I smiled back and couldn't believe he was waiting for me. He was ready he had a hoodie and some swim shorts on. "Hey" I chucked back.

"Go Get Changed and meet me down by the water ok?" He said. I nodded and shut the window and quickly got changed. I let my hair flow down and looked In the mirror. I had a high neck bikini with some cute bottoms. I fixed my hair and made sure I looked ok. I grabbed a towel and ran to go get my board. I grabbed my wet suit and slipped it on halfway.

I ran down the steps and down to the beach. I stood there and looked at zach. He started at the water like he belonged there. Maybe I should be the one teaching. But I couldn't even stand on the board right now.

"Hey loser" I said sneaking up behind him. He shook his head and I stuck my board in the sand. I zipped up my wetsuit to the top. The waves were pretty good today so he had a advantage. "So I don't know how to surf but I can try and figure it out" he smiled. I laughed and picked up my board and started to run towards the water. He ran after me and I started to get deeper in the water. I hoped on my board and started to paddle the board until I could find a spot. I tried it on my own I had to. I found one and tried to ride it. I  attempted to stand up on the board.  I stood up and smiled in victory and I looked for zach and saw him ankle deep in water. He smiled and stood There. I began to loose balance and tried to stand before falling. I fell off the board after not being on it very long. I used to be so good. I grabbed my board and swam it to shallow waters and picked it up and stormed out of the water.

I took of the wrist band connecting the board to me and stuck it in the sand and sat on the sand with my head buried in my arms.

"Ash you can't just give up like that you were amazing up there" zach says. I shake my head while it's barrier in my arms. "I wiped out" i mumbled. "I will help you" He said. I looked up at him. He reached out a hand towards me to help me up.

"Ash I clearly know nothing about surfing but I can try I really hate seeing you so unhappy" he said. Well he was making me unhappy. The fact that since he's got here I can only focus on him. It's gotten to be to much for me. Why can't I just tell him. I like you...

I took Zach's hand and he helped me up. He pulled me to hard and I wound up in front of his face. Right in front. Not even two inches apart. I can't even tell u how bad I wanted to just have our lips touch again. He looked at my lips and at my eyes. I had butterfly's in my stomach before. They suddenly went away. And now it was just hope.

He slowly moved backwards and grabbed on to my board. Not today I guess. He handed it over to me with that glare in his eyes. "Let's hit the waves? Surfs up?" He questioned. I laughed and took my board. I started to run towards the ocean. "That's now what they say" I said and looked back. He started to run and catch up with me now. I smiled and kept running. I finally felt like maybe I could do it.

I set on my board and waited for the perfect wave. Zach came next to me. His perfect hair all wet, still perfect. "Ok so you have to get a big wave right" he questioned. The waves started to move signaling mine was coming. I could feel it.

"Yea it's coming" I yelled over the waves. "Ok so when you have to balance on the board stare at something to keep you balanced and think only about the wave let your mind drop, clearly you have been thinking a lot lately and I know what that's like because I have to but just forget about it" He said. I looked over at him. His eyes directly in mine. Thinking?

The wave was coming and I could feel it. "Ready?" He asked. I looked over at him and smiled. I started to paddle until I could stand. I used everything in me to stand up and I forgot about everything. Just like how it used to be. I forgot about zach, Kylie, my dad I had no worries. I was able to balance. It was just me and the wave. It worked for once. In the end I fell off and grabbed my board once I was in shallow waters. I held up my hands for victory and zach started to clap. I grabbed my board and walked over to him. I took the wrist strap off and ran over to him and hugged him.

"I did it!!" I smiled. I couldn't believe it. He actually helped. "You were amazing before and after ash" he said. I smiled and tucked my hair behind. I moved my hair around it was all wet and still wavy. "You were awesome" he repeated. I smiled a little and he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. I felt his hand wrap around my head and to my neck and he leaned in. I drew closer to him. Until sparks flew again. It felt like i just went surfing again. Just me and the wave. Just me and zach. No worries. I felt safe again. I felt happy.
