Chapter 3

[Bianca's POV]

After I went inside I ran and got my slack clothes and headed for the shower. "Yo Bianca, where you at?" I heard Zac's voice echo down the hallway. "I'm taking a shower!" oh wait; I probably shouldn't have said that... I ran past the cupboard and grabbed out a towel. I was quick in the shower; I think it was a record. I reached down to get changed and realized I had brought two pairs of bras, and no underwear. Oh no, no, NO! I jumped around in my towel trying to figure out what to do. I poked my head out of the door, and I could hear the tv blaring. Good, he was distracted. I grabbed my clothes and made a mad dash for my bedroom. "Bianca?" I stopped dead and turned around. "you didn't see anything!" I said as I continued running. I shut my bedroom door and leant against it, panting like I had just ran a marathon. I quickly threw on my clothes and headed back out to the lounge room. I casually flopped down on the couch. "Thanks, for staying. You didn't have too." he smiled, "it's alright." I reached over and snatched the remote of his chair. "Hey; I was watching that!" he groaned. I giggled like a school girl. "My house, my tv, my rules!" he raised his eyebrows at me as I clicked the button, changing it over to Disney Channel. "What is this shit?" he asked. My mouth dropped open. "you serious?! This is only the best channel ever!" he laughed. It was quite deep, and it was sexy. "change the channel!" he tried to sound serious but he didn't scare me. "Make me!" I teased and he winked at me. Next thing I knew he had me in his arms, spinning me around. "Zac! STOP!" he laughed and started tickling my stomach. I started squealing. "Zac your supposed to be looking after me, NOT BELTING THE SHIT OUT OF ME!" I felt his chest move with his strong breaths. He hung me upside down, And I looked up to see him staring at me with his gorgeous blue eyes. "Wanna change the channel now?" I laughed, "No!!" he grinned cheekily. "Alright then, your funeral." he threw me over his shoulder and my hand accidentally touched his bum. "Did your hand just touch me arse?" he asked as he walked me through my own house; over his shoulder. I laughed, "did your arse just touch my hand?" he started to laugh louder, and it made me bounce in his shoulder. "OWW, ZAC SHOULDER IN MY STOMACH!" he responded and lifted me up so I was above his head. "I asked you to change the channel..." I laughed and threw my head back. He put me down and looked at me. He gently brushed my hair from my face. "Are you hungry?" I walked away and left him standing there. "No, thanks..." I knew I had to break the ice between us. "You sure? I plan on eating everything!" he nodded and I walked into the kitchen. I felt bad for walking away, but I couldn't do it. Not to Brandon! As I opened the pantry door the phone started ringing. "I'll get it!" I yelled and as I picked it up Zac walked into the kitchen his hand firmly in his pockets. It must be a comfort thing for him. "Hello Tremain Residence." I looked over at Zac and smiled. He sat on the bench chair and leant on the bench top, his arms flexed and his muscles rippling through his shirt. I found myself leaning against the wall. "Bianca? Sweetie is Brandon there?" it was my mum. She was away on a business trip, and wouldn't be back for a few more weeks yet. "No why?" I was wrapping the cord around my fingers and I looked over to find Zac staring at me. I gave him that 'what' look and he shrugged. "WHAT, where is he? I told him to look after you!" "Mum relax he is spending the night with Emily!" she was so over dramatic sometimes. "Your home alone?" I heard the panic in her voice rise. "No mum, Zac's watching me. What's wrong!?" I looked over at Zac and he had stood up, his eyes full of panic. "Your dad called..."

[Zac's POV]

I watched Bianca walk inside and I turned around to Brandon. "Be safe bro!" he laughed and hugged me. "Thanks for looking after her." I smiled. "It's fine; now go have fun." he ran over to Emily and picked her up; spinning her around. I walked inside and looked for Bianca. "Yo Bianca, where you at?" I yelled and stood against the couch waiting for a response. "I'm taking a shower!" I heard her yell in response. I couldn't help but smile to myself. Wait, zac stop! I shook my head in frustration and went and sat on the couch; and turned on the tv. As I was watching it; I heard a low thumping sound. I spun around to see Bianca running through the house with only a towel on. "Bianca?" I quickly said; in shock with what I was seeing. "You didn't see anything!" she glanced at me and bolted down the hallway. I couldn't help but laugh a little. I continued to half watch the tv. I caught a glance of Bianca walking into the lounge room and I watched as she flopped herself onto the couch. "Thanks, for staying. You didn't have too." she randomly said. Her voice was gentle and sweet. "it's alright." I said back and smiled at her. I had never met anyone who made me feel this way. She reached over and snatched the remote from me. "Hey; I was watching that!" I turned around and huffed. Somehow she found that amusing and she started to giggle. "My house, my tv, my rules!" I raised my eyebrows at her, but she ignored me and switches the channel over, and some Hannah shit was on."What is this shit?" i asked, disgusted with the fact that she had changed Viva La Bam over to some teenage girl in a wig?! "you serious?! This is only the best channel ever!" I couldn't stop myself from laughing. They way her voice squeaked when she said it. "change the channel!" I tried to make myself sound tough; but I could tell by her eyes that it hadn't worked. "Make me!" she teased and fiddled with her hair. I knew what I had to do, I had to prove I was the man here. I winked at her. Then I jumped up and grabbed her off the couch, spinning her around. "Zac! STOP!" she screamed and I laughed. I decided to torture her even more. I tickled her stomach. Her scream turned into a ear piercing scream. I winced. "Zac your supposed to be looking after me, NOT BELTING THE SHIT OUT OF ME!" I was starting to lose my breath, she could put up a struggle; I'll give her that much. I grabbed her legs and let go of her torso, she fell towards the floor. I had left her hanging upside down in my arms. She gasped. She looked up at me and I looked at her. She was beautiful; the way her skin glowed and how her eyes sparkled. "Wanna change the channel now?" I asked her, still holding her upside down, looking into her eyes."No!!" she didn't even hesitate. I grinned and her eyes widened with shock. "Alright then, your funeral." I lifted her back up and spun her around, putting her over my shoulder. I felt her hand touch my arse. "Did your hand just touch me arse?"I asked; teasing her. She started laughing. "did your arse just touch my hand?" I laughed even louder. She had that effect on me. I heard her moan, "OWW, ZAC SHOULDER IN MY STOMACH!" I lifted her back up and held her above me, she had her hands on my shoulders. "I asked you to change the channel..." I smiled at her and she put her head back and giggled. I put her down and brushed the hair away from her eyes. "Are you hungry?" she asked, pulling away. I felt so stupid! How had I let myself get carried away. "No, thanks..." I slowly said back. I felt bad, I had made her feel vulnerable. "You sure? I plan on eating everything!" I nodded and watched as she walked slowly away. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I longed for the day I could make her feel wanted. I knew she felt something too, something between us; I just didn't know what... Then the phone rang, awakening me from my daze."I'll get it!" Bianca yelled from the kitchen. I made my way to the bench; hands in pockets. "Hello Tremain Residence." Her voice was soft and innocent. I sat on the bench and she looked at me." "No why?" I watched her every move, and she caught me. She gave me the what look and I shrugged. "Mum relax he is spending the night with Emily!" it was then I realized who she was talking to. "No mum, Zac's watching me. What's wrong!?" I knew straight away something bad had happened. A few years ago they went through a pretty rough time with her father. And I stood up immediately; panic surging through my body. I didn't want Bianca to suffer anymore... She looked at me; her eyes shaking with fear, her hands trembling. I didn't know what to do.

[Bianca's POV]

I looked over at Zac and he was almost next to me. "Bianca, please tell me what's wrong..." I felt myself shaking. "Dad, called mum..." Zac reached out to touch my hand. "Bianca, are you still listening?" Mums voice brought me back to my senses. "Yes mum I am." "Alright, I want you to lock the doors and the windows. I have to go. Please put Zac on..." "Alright, I love you." I whispered and handed the phone over. I ran to the door and locked the door, shut all the windows and turned around to see Zac looking at me. I didn't know what to do. The things my father had done to my mum and me gave me nightmares. "It's going to be ok. I'm here for you." I ran into his arms and let him hug me. I knew it probably wasn't something I should have done; but he made me feel safe and warm. "What if he is here Zac, what will Brandon say if he finds out?" he held me tight and I wrapped my arms around his chest. I started softly crying. "Bianca, please don't. Everything is going to be ok. I'm here." he gently picked me up and carried me to my room. He put me on my bed and walked over to my curtain; shut it and then picked a movie from my DVD rack. "Wanna watch a movie?" I nodded and watched as he put the Dukes of Hazzard in. "How did you know this is my favourite movie?" I laughed and he came and sat next to me, he slowly put his arm around me and I didn't fight; I didn't want to. It felt right... As it started I felt myself becoming extremely tired. I yawned and Zac sat upright. "Your tired; get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning." he got up and went to walk away. "NO... I mean, stay; please..." I was such an idiot but he didn't seem to mind. "Only if you’re sure..." I smiled. "Please..." he walked back over and got into my bed. I fell asleep almost instantly.

[Zac's POV]

I had walked right over to her. “Bianca, please tell me what’s wrong…” I was almost pleading her. “Dad, called mum…” I reached out to touch her hand. Her voice was numb, and then she continued talking to her mum. Then she handed me the phone and ran off. “Mrs Tremain, what’s going on?” “Zac, I’m sorry if you had plans, but could you stay with her for the night? Her father called from a payphone, threatening me; I don’t know where he was calling from though. I’m just worried he will try something stupid.” “That’s fine, I don’t mind staying.” “Thankyou Zac; I owe you.” And on that she hung up. As I hung the phone up, Bianca turned around and just looked at me. “It’s going to be ok. I’m here for you.” Then she unexpectedly ran into my arms. I was shocked. She was much smaller than I had realised, my arms in jeopardy of crushing her. Then I heard her speak, it was low… “What if he is here Zac, what will Brandon say if he finds out?” I gently tightened my grip and she started softly crying. It felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest. “Bianca, please don’t. Everything is going to be ok. I’m here.” I knew I had only one choice. I gently reached down and picked up her legs, holding her close to me as she softly cried. I carried her up to her bedroom, and I could feel her tears slowly soaking through my t-shirt. I want to cry with her; but I had to be strong. As I placed her onto the bed she wiped away her tears. I quickly shut the curtain and then saw her movie rack. As I walked towards it I looked at her. “Wanna watch a movie?” She nodded and I scanned the rack. Oh Dukes of Hazzard; my all time favourite. As I picked it up and went to put it in she spoke. “How did you know this is my favourite movie?” I laughed. Wow, we had a lot more in common than I ever imagined. I walked over to her and sat down next to her, and put my arm around her. It was risky; I know, but she didn’t seem to mind. I wanted to tell her how much I thought of her; make he feel better and special, but that would just ruin everything; and right now, I was glad to see her. She yawned and I knew she was beyond tired. I sat up and her eyes followed me, dancing with wonder. "You’re tired; get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning." I smiled at her and got up, ready for the uncomfortable night ahead on the couch. But I was willing to do anything to make her feel secure. "NO... I mean, stay; please..." I turned around and she as sitting up. I wasn’t expecting her to say that. But I wasn’t complaining. "Only if you’re sure..."I didn’t want her too feel like I wanted it eagerly. "Please..." She smiled and I turned back around and clambered in beside her. She was asleep almost instantly. So I put Dukes of Hazzard on quietly as she slept. After about 15 minutes she rolled over and moved in close to me. I was shocked, but I put my arm around her and pulled the blanket up. She was so beautiful when she slept. It was like watching an angel. She looked so calm and peaceful, like everything that had previously happened had just; vanished. And she was her beautiful, bubbly self again. After o turned off the movie, I slowly shifted down and she moved back to her side. I was a little upset, but it gave me the chance to look at her gorgeous face. I put my hands behind my head and closed my eyes. Then I felt something touch my stomach. My eyes shot open and I saw her arm, loosely over me. I smiled as tucked her in again. Sleep washed over me. I couldn’t have been in a better place.
