Just the thought of it

Chpt.3

Melonie's POV

I wake up to a light snore buzzing in my ear. I turn my head to find Zac with his mouth slightly open and he looks so adorable sleeping. Once I wiggled my way from under his hold, his eyes quickly shut open.

"Hey sleepy head" his voice is so raspy in the morning and it's quite adorable the way his hair is messed up in the front.

"Morning" I simply reply. His hazel eyes shine and look glossy as he yawn. I put my finger in his mouth to break his yawn and start laughing as he nibbles on my finger.

The car starts to shake and I quickly sit up holding onto the seats shutting my eyes close. I fluffin hate earth quakes. The first earth quake I had experienced was a 7.4 and I lost the most important person in my life the same day. My dad tried to help me out of my room and the roof started to crack. My dad pushed me that I fell hard to the cement, while the roof collapsed on him. It was the worst feeling I have ever felt in my entire 12 years of life. I feel Zac's arm snake around my waist pulling me into his chest.

"It's okay, we're fine, nothing is going to happen" he promises. I simply nod and try to reach for my phone in my backpack. I immediately dial Amanda's number. She answers on the second ring.

"Where the hell are you?!" Her voice booms through the phone.

"I'm with Zac, it wasn't safe to drive on the freeway during the earth quakes" I reply, immediatly filled with annoyance.

"Melonie, get your ass home, mom is flipping out, yelling and crying thinking something happened to you!" she yells.

"Fine, tell mom I'm okay yeah? and stop yelling, your giving me a headache!" I yell back and hang up.

"Shit!" I huff. I can't believe I came with Zac yesterday. He's hot, yes, but I barely know him and I kissed him on the first date. Is this even a date? Gosh Mel, wake up to reality, he's probably like Donnie. Fluff, why does this always happen to me.

"Mel?" his voice causes me to jump from my thoughts.

"Uhm, my mom is freaking out, I really think I should get home." oh my god today is Tuesday! Shit, I can't miss the second day of school.

"What time is it?"

"It's 9:30, why?" he questions me.

"We're late for school that's why!" I yell at him. I feel guilty for yelling at him, but I shouldn't be here in the first place, this is so wrong.

"Rios, when there are earth quakes, the school doesn't expect us to go in."

"Oh", yup, I totally feel guilty now.

"Mmkay, well can you take me home please, I bet your parents are worried about you to ba... Zac" I quickly rephrase my words. Was I really gonna call him babe? Wow, I'm stupid, how can I guy like him be with me?

"Yea sure, can I get you some breakfast first?" he looks scared, as if he saw ghost.

"What's wrong?" I ask, hopefully he opens up to me.

"Honestly, I want you to stay with me, I like you Rios. I know this all to soon on the first date, but I'm falling for you." So this is a date? I don't know if it's just me, but it suddenly got really hot in here.

Zachary's POV

I find myself telling her how I feel, and it feels good to actually open up to someone. She looks at me confused and damn she's beautiful. I smile at my thoughts and she looks out the window. I need to know what she thinks, does she feel the same? Fuck, I need to know, I can feel my hands getting sweaty just at the thought of her straddling in laps yesterday.

"Say something please" I tell her, calmly as possible without forcing her to answer.

"Zac, I think we need to go" fuck that's not what I wanted!

I follow her to the front seats of my car and I start the engine, leaving the place where it all started. She looked out the window looking like a complete model waiting for a pic to be shot. She looked at me and smiled. I felt bad for keeping her with me. This is all moving too fast and I know she feels the same. But there's something about her that makes me want more.

"Zac, I shouldn't have came with you yesterday, all of this is a big mistake." her voice cracking at the end.

"No, I'm sorry. If I hadn't... you know, sat you on my laps, we wouldn't be in this mess. And just for the record, I don't regret anything that happened." I honestly do feel guilty. The way she looked at me so innocently tore me into pieces. I wanted her to be mine, but fuck, I can't push her to do something that she doesn't. She looks out the window and and I place my hand on her thigh. She looks at my hand and then back to me, fuck. I quickly pull away. Taken by surprise, she grabs my hand and kisses my palm, placing it back to where is was before. Her action alone, I knew she wants something out of this, well whatever this is, as well. But now, I got to make her see that I can take this slow, to prove to her that I'm not only trying to get something from her and leave. I just want her love, wow I sound like a puppy in love.

Melonie's POV

The car ride was quiet, too quiet. After I kissed his palm, it just turned out to be awkward, actually I have no idea why I did that. Every time I looked out the window I can feel the heat of his glare at the back of my head. And once I turn to look at him he starts to blush and look ahead, concentrating to drive. This is too weird. Minutes passed of silence and we pull up to one of my favorite breakfast spots, Ihop. We take a seat across from each other at a booth in the back in complete silence. I sighed and he finally spoke up. I have no idea why I'm not talking, I'm never quiet.

"So Mel, I'm like confused on what's happening here. Why did u kiss my hand? Why aren't you talking, your like one of the most talkative girls I know, and now it's just weird to not hear your voice and see you smile." He likes my smile? I simply blushed at his words as they tugged at my heart.

"I dunno, I just don't what to talk about, and honestly, I don't know why I kissed your hand. Ugh, I'm so weird" my head landed in my hands as chuckled telling me, that everyone is weird in their own way. I couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Why you laughing at me?" he blushes. I couldn't help but laugh even more, wondering how red my face is right now.

I guess you can say I'm weird, but I don't mind, it's just who I am. I laugh when I'm nervous, and when I'm around Zac, I just find myself laughing at times.

"I'm sorry, I just laugh when I'm nervous, it's a force of habit" I simply reply.

" I make you nervous?" He questions me, actually blushing. I thought guys don't blush.

" I guess you can say that" I smiled at him, batting my eyelashes at him. The waitress comes and we order our food and just simply talk. I never had a simple conversation before. The usual conversation I usually had was my mom yelling at me 24/7 for no reason.

Time passed as we ate and conversated. We sat here talking for two hours. I'm actually surprised that we just stayed here.
