The Not so Secret Secret//Jachary

Chapter 16

Jacks POV
(One week later)

I kept my distance from Zach. We didn't cuddle. We didn't kiss. But we still slept together. Corbyn has been trying to make eye contact with us since we started avoiding each other.

Once he pulled me aside and asked what happened between us, concerned. I just muttered some excuse before he got mad and I told him the real story. He looked more heartbroken than me. He told me he'd talk to Zach about it and came back the next day.

"He didn't say much. He seemed awful though. He doesn't want this." He told me.

"I know he doesn't. He needs to stop hurting himself like this."

Corbyn nodded and left.

I leaned my head against the wall and groaned.

That stupid idiot is killing himself over some judgmental 12 year olds. Well, I know he can't stand this for much longer. I see him staring at my lips at every meal and every meeting.

Just then I got an idea.

I walked out of the kitchen and went to the living room where I know Zach was sitting, watching a movie with Daniel.

"Mind if I join?"

Zach looked at me worriedly and started shaking his head but Daniel already said sure so I plopped down right next to Zach.

"So what we watching?" I said and grinning at Zach.

"Don't." He said and tried to move away, but couldn't because Daniel was right next to him.

I've got the upper hand.

I put my arm over his shoulder.

"Stop."

"I know you Zach. I know you can't resist things you really want."

"I don't want anything from you."

"Oh really?" I said and leaned my face closer to his.

He brought in a shaky breath looking down at my lips.

I knew he still wanted me.

I got up and started walking away.

"Wait where are you going?" He called after me.

I turned around and shrugged. "Shower."

I turned back around and started walking away smirking.

I know your weak spots Zach.
