Sounds like a Fantasy

Chapter 12

Addison's POV

The warm sun felt nice. I relax against Zed's back as he walks us to my house, closing my eyes and laying my head on his shoulder. I sigh contently, feeling Zed shift his head to look back at me but not saying anything in an attempt to not disturb my relaxation.

Somewhere along the way, my mind drifts back to our intimate moment in the Safe Room. I didn't know I could feel so connected with someone else. It was almost like I wasn't only feeling what my body felt, but also his. It sends a shiver down my spine and I hold tighter to Zed's neck.

"Everything ok back there?" He asks. I giggle.

"Mhm." I murmur, pressing my lips against the skin on the side of his neck. Both of us shiver. Something is definitely different, in a good way.

"We're almost to your place." He tells me, trying to refocus on just walking. I lay my head down on his shoulder again and fight the urge to keep kissing his neck.

"You could have said no, you know." Zed mumbles under his breath to the point that I almost didn't hear him.

"What are you talking about Zed?" I question. He shakes his head and pauses, I'm guessing he's debating on elaborating. But then he continues.

"What if I go full zombie again?" His voice sounds scared, almost panicked.

"We went over this," I say gently, "you would never hurt me."

"I know, but no matter how you look at it, I did bite you. And I don't want to accidentally do it again. We don't even know why I turned." He says, voicing his concerns. I kiss the side of his neck again, he stops dead in his tracks.

"Everything is gonna be fine." I whisper, letting myself continue to taste his skin. I run my tongue over the spot and gently suck. Zed is shivering.

"Addy, you gotta stop." He said, but she could tell he was enjoying her kisses. She peeled her lips from his neck reluctantly.

"Well you better get us home quicker then." I tease in a seductive tone, walking my finger across his shoulder towards the spot I had just left. Zed gulps and continues walking, though at a slightly faster pace. We aren't very far now.

The rest of the way, I just mindlessly play with short strands on his hair, staring lovingly at the side of his face or affectionately rubbing my cheek against his shoulder and neck. Occasionally, I feel his grip on my thighs tighten slightly before he relaxes again.

We finally reach the house and he sets me down on my feet on the front porch, making sure I'm steady before letting me stand on my own. I dig out my house key and open the door, Zed following me in, before I shut and lock the door.

As much as I want to just pounce on Zed here and now, I know I have to call my parents before I do anything else. I pull Zed by the hand to the couch and plop down, pulling him to sit beside me, before grabbing the house phone and dialing my dad's number. The phone rings a couple times before he answers.

"Hello?" He asks very confused.

"Hey Dad." I greet.

"Addison? Why aren't you at school?" He asked sounding concerned.

"I'm ok Dad, I just wasn't feeling well so Zed made me come home." I assured him, purposefully making it sound like Zed wasn't there with me. If I'd told him Zed brought me home, he'd probably send a patrol officer to escort Zed back to school. And I definitely didn't want him to leave me alone right now.

"Oh no, well ok Sweetie. Do you need me or your mother to cancel our meeting and come home?" He offered.

"No, no! It's ok really! I'm just going to rest for the day and sit on the sidelines at the game tonight." I assured again. He paused on the other end for a moment.
