I am yours FOREVER (A Zac and Tom story)

But he flirts too

1 week later
*Zac*
I find myself walking into the small supermarked yet again. I have been coming here quite often, and definately more often than needed. I am not really sure why, but I like talking to Sofia.. and Maybe I am a bit lonely.

I guess you can say that we have become friends. And her family seems to have accepted me fully.. almost like a part of them.

3 days ago I was actually invited with her entire family to a huge picnic in a local park, a Mexican tradition. It had been loads of fun honestly. Her family is a little strange at times, but they are just so lovable and giving, so were all the friends and neighbours at the party.

But for some reason, people kept thinking me and Sofia were a couple and in the end we gave up explaining the truth, as it ended up sounding very complicated when we explained and well it didn't really matter.

"Hola guapo". Sofia gives me a small wave and a smile from behind the cash register, before servicing the two people in line.

"Another busy day I see". I say grinning at her, as she quickly scans all the groceries in front of her with her usual effectiveness.

She giggles and tells the customer, an elderly man, how much it is. Then as he leaves, she is turning her face back towards me. "Oh definitely, I have had like 20 people through here".

"Oh shit, better watch out or you will be all exhausted and worn down before you turn 25". I walk up to stand patiently behind the very fat Mexican woman, who is next in line.

"Aren't I already ? I feel at least 30". She winks at me.

I clutch my heart a bit theatrically. "Ouch, you just called me ancient didn't you ?"

"Oh sorry did I hurt you now.. you know you are getting a bit old and grey". She giggles with her tongue poking out between her teeth. "But I still like you, so don't worry".

I wait my turn before walking over to jump up and sit on the other counter, smiling at her. "Sooo, left here all alone again ? Is that really safe ?"

She sits down on the chair behind the counter, with a small sigh. "Just for about an hour and it is in the middle of the day.. Dad had a doctor's appointment".

"I still don't like it". I run a hand through my hair. "There are some crazy people out there. And a pretty girl like you..".

"So protective Zac, are you always like that ?" She sighs, biting her lip and before I can answer she says. "Your girlfriend must really appreciate that".

I chuckle thinking of how Lumi would react to me trying to be protective. I shake my head. "Lumi doesn't need me to be protective, she can handle anything".

"She sounds like a strong woman and I think she is so beautiful too, from the picture I've seen I mean". Her voice is getting low and she fiddles with her hair.

"Yeah.. I am a very lucky man to have her". The memory of her both hurts and makes me smile.. I miss her.

She breathes in slowly, and lifts her eyes to look at me. "And she sure is a very lucky woman to have you".

"Thanks". I feel my cheeks flush slightly. Why am I liking her saying that so much ?

"Sorry Zac, I shouldn't say that. I know you love her deeply and.. Well I am just a nobody". There is sadness in her big dark eyes.

I scratch my neck. "I do.. I mean love her. But it's okay, you did nothing wrong sweetie".

"See, again with the being all sweet, gracious and charming. You can't go around doing that to women Zac". She shakes her head slightly.

"Sorry". I shrug. "Honestly I am not doing it on purpose. I can try being a real bastard if you want me too ?"

She gets up and walks out from behind the cash register. "You couldn't be bad even if you tried too".

"Well, I have been worse than you can imagine". I am not even sure why I say that. Yeah I have made mistakes in the past, honestly I have been a real bastard at some points, but it is definitely nothing I am proud of.

"I have a really hard time believing that". She has walked around the payment terminal, and is standing in front of me, about 7 feet away. "You are such a cinnamon bun, just admit it".

I make a face, looking down at myself. "Seriously, a cinnamon bun ? That sound .. very very unsexy and cutesy".

"You are .. very very cute, don't deny it.. but definitely not unsexy". She bite her lip and slowly walks closer.

My throat is suddenly dry and I start fiddling with my hands, not really knowing what to do with myself. "Sofia.. ".

"Uhmm what is it, Zac ?" She is right in front of me now and I swallow nervously, shaking my head. "Why is it that you keep coming here ?"

"I.. I am a bit lonely honestly". I kind of push myself a bit backwards. "And I like you.. I mean, talking to you and such, your company".

Her warm eyes look into mine and her cheeks flush slightly. "I like you too, a lot.. and your company".

For some crazy reason, all I can think of right now is how much I miss Lumi and how much I love her. I have to see her and soon. As soon as possible.

"Zac ! You totally spaced out there". I snap out of it, when I feel her hand on my thigh. "Welcome back".

I shake my head slightly, trying to clear it. "Sorry, I.. I was just thinking about her.. Lumi.. and..".

"She isn't here Zac.. but I am". And before I can react her lips are pressed against mine and she is kissing me.

My head is spinning and I fight to get my bearings back, all kinds of thoughts flashing through my head. Did I somehow initiale this ? Did I want it ? Lumi ..
