Never Forgotten You (Zaylor)

Unexpected Hello

Chapter Two

One year before...

I apply my red lipstick and slide my bracelet on before I head out the door and walked to my limo to be escorted to the People's Choice Awards. I seated myself and put down my glittery clutch in an empty spot right beside of me.

I checked the time on my phone as I waited. I thought to myself

Thank god we're almost there, who wants to be late to an event like this?

I feel the limo come to a stop and the door beside me opens. I step out and I'm immediately greeted by flashing lights, I make my way to the red carpet to take some pictures. But I leave early so that I can be seated inside.

There were so many people I could hardly concentrate on finding a place to sit.

-After The Show-

Hours passed and the award show ended up being pretty entertaining. It was late, and everybody started to say their goodbye's.

I make my way to a group of people and say goodbye. I was so tired, the table I was sitting at started to look really comfortable.

I stroll past groups and people that want to get my attention. I mildly ignore them but I say hello regardless.

Someone from behind me is calling my name so I turn around. Not noticing what's going on in front of me, I accidentally bump into someone.

"Ow" I moan silently as I place a hand over my chest.

"I'm so sorry Taylor I didn't see you in front of me it was my fault," a low voice said while holding my arm.

I glance up to see Zac staring intently at me to make sure I wasn't hurt.

"Oh no don't worry it was me, I wasn't looking in front of myself so I got distracted," I apologized back.

"Well as long as you're okay it wouldn't matter who's fault it is right?" He reassured me.

I smiled at how he cared so much if I was hurt or not. My cheeks flushed red when I realized his hand was still pressed against my arm, as if I was going to faint any second. On my own I place my hand lightly on his arm.

He noticed the uncomfortable amount of intimacy and let go.

"What have you been up to lately?" I questioned, trying to change the subject.

He was talking about all of the movies he's done recently but I was only studying his face and blushed about how much bigger he looked since the last time I saw him.

Maybe he got fit for a movie role? I thought not listening to him.

"What have you been doing?" He questioned back.

Before I could answer a few paparazzi walked up to us and wanted pictures, not wanting to be rude and tell them off, we agreed.

I stepped beside him and he placed his hand over my waist and pulled me closer, I was surprised at how strong he was. I put my hand on his lower back and they started taking what felt like hundreds of photos while I tried not to blink.

The paparazzi eventually left.

Zac turned facing me and I wondered what he was going to say.

"I hope you had a good time tonight, of course it isn't as cool as the Grammy's you know," he smiled while he touched my forearm.

"Yes thank you for saying that," I laughed.

We embraced and he gave me a kiss on the cheek.

He gazed up at me and said his last goodbye's when his hand slid down my forearm and his hand was on mine for only a split second.

Did he do that on purpose or am I going crazy? I thought to myself.

The night ends and I arrive back home, I close the door behind me and blushed again thinking about what happened.
