Love Complications Book 1

Chapter 30

Piper P.O.V

It was the first week of April, the seniors were buzzing with excitement for prom.

March had flown by so fast, in the midst of coursework and birthday parties the month had just disappeared. The news of Zack and I dating was also hot gossip for nearly one whole day, back in February. Luckily my mother and Dave had no idea. Not because we were so good at hiding it but we were both so busy with schoolwork. That's not to say we didn't have the occasional cheeky midnight snogs.

It was Thursday afternoon, one of my favourite days. Zack and I had kept this study date in the school library thing going, since our English literature project. We both really enjoyed it, it was our adult version of date night. To my surprise I actually find him sitting at our table before me.

"Hey." He smiles and I lean down and kiss him before sitting in the seat opposite him.

"How did you manage to beat me here today?" I look at him as I put my bag down on the table and take out my books.

"Practice finished early, most of the guys have a fitting."

"Oh okay."

I wondered if he was ever going to actually ask me to prom. Or if he was even going. It's hard enough getting him to go to parties these days but prom. That's a whole different ballgame.

"Piper." He waves his hand in front of my face as I snap out of my own thoughts.

I shake my head.

"Sorry, did you ask something?" I snap back to reality.

"I just asked how cheer practice was?" He shrugs his shoulder as he puts his pencil down.

"Oh it was fine." I smile slightly.

I wonder if I should ask him to prom? Or is that to desperate.

I look at him as he scans his textbook with his eyes.

"Zack?"

I take a deep breath.

He continues to scan his book as he replies.

"Yeh babe?"

"Are we going to prom together?" I ask quickly.

I pretend to open a book and fake scan it with my eyes before he looks at me.

"Oh shit Piper."

My heart drops.

I somehow manage to look at him, his piercing brown eyes stare right through me. As he places his hands on my hand. I lock our fingers together.

"I totally forgot, with all this school work."

He shakes his head as he squeezes my hand.

"It's two days away, so I thought that you know I would ask you." I laugh uncomfortably.

He grins.

"Let me do it properly then."

He lets go of my hand and walks round the table and kneels in-front of me.

I look round to make sure nobody's watching as I laugh at him.

"Zack.. your crazy." I shake my head as he takes my hand.

"Piper Marie Combs, will you be my date for the prom?" I pout pretending to really think about it.

"Hurry up and say yes, my knees about to go. " He groans.

"Yes,you asshole." He stands up quickly and plants a soft kiss on my lips.

"Thanks babe." He mutters against my lips as we kiss again.
