The Boy Next Door

Kiss Me (Song in Media)

Recap:

"Can I come to your house instead?" I uttered as he blurred down the street dodging traffic like it was his job

His extreme grip loosened on the wheel and his mouth twitched up into a sexy smirk.

"Yeah, sounds like a date, Beautiful" his eyes beamed and he slid his warm hand in between mine

Every moment we spent together we drew so much closer. My stomach emptied into a pit full of flickering butterflies and I couldn't help but smile. I was in love with this kid.

Song: "Kiss Me" by Ed Sheeran

This song just fit the mood. It's beautiful and I suggest you listen to it while reading. I listened to it while I wrote and it just flows. Go on and play it. You know you want to. It makes the story sweeter. I'll put it in the media.

Chapter 21: Kiss Me

Zane ripped back the break in his driveway and tugged the keys out of the car.

I gazed at how much the house had transformed from when they first moved in. The ripped window shutters were repainted white and realigned, the house had a fresh new coat of sea foam paint on, the trimmed grass was greener than I had ever seen it, the landscaping was all new and redone with vivid flowers. It looked perfect.

"Ready, babe?" he gave my hand a comforting squeeze snapping my attention back to him

"Yeah" I nodded my head and reached for the door handle

Zane had already beat me to the car door and opened it like a gentlemen offering out his hand

"Thanks, Spidey" I chimed thankfully

"I'm old school" he chuckled and I hooked my hand under his muscular arm

He kicked out his leg and closed the car door sloppily.

"Such class" I giggled as he lead me to the identical front door

Without a key, he cranked the knob and it swung open. The whole house was remodeled and decorated beautifully. The walls were a sandy brown and ancient family photos were splashed across orderly. Fancy white couches, glass tables, flat screen televisions, chandeliers. Everything. I could go into great detail, but lets just say it was amazing.

"Wow" was all I managed to blurt out

"I told you my mom and I flip houses" he quirked an eyebrow cutely

"Zane, phone honey" I heard a distant dismal voice call out and his expression dropped quickly

He clutched my fingers and looked at me desperately with his deep brown eyes as if I had an answer. He quickly adjusted his beanie and ambled forward dropping my hand.

"Doctor's on the pho-" Mrs. Leone glumly emerged from the kitchen and stopped in her tracks 

"Hi, Joey" she kindly waved throwing on a fake smile and placed the phone into his hard chest

"It's Zoey, Mom" Zane hesitantly pressed the phone to his ear

"Sorry, sweetie. It's been a long day" her blonde hair danced above her shoulder and I could see teary black make up stains smeared on her fancy white dress

"It's fine" I accepted keeping my eyes fixated on Zane's tense body

"What are you two doing, studying?" her eyes suddenly lit up and she rubbed my arm like any mother would

I could tell she was trying to keep the conversation mood positive, but it was too cheesy. Something was off.

Zane's face rushed cold and he silently passed the phone back. I glanced down at his arms and his fists were tightly clenched. His pink lips were tucked beneath his teeth clenching down on them.

"You wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth, son" Mrs. Leone strode over to Zane who towered over her tiny frame and she sunk into his loving arms

I stood back and felt out of place. I felt like I wasn't supposed to see this side of them. Almost as if I were forgotten at that moment. It was a special moment between Zane and his mom and I dreaded to hear the reason for the reaction.

"I'm so sorry, Mom" he breathed choppily into her short silky hair and kissed her forehead

"Don't say that. It's not your fault. Cancer is an asshole" his large gentle fingers swiped the mascara filled tears off of her cheeks

His eyes flickered up and met mine filled with gloom. His mom released her grip and excused herself to the bathroom alone. He took my hand and led me up the spiral steps and into his large room.

It was coated in light blue paint and the walls were decorated in his sports trophy's and awards. His large bed was white and neatly made with pillows aligned upwards. I stared at my reflection in a clean mirror hung on the wall and tugged my straight bonde hair out of it's messy ponytail. My eyes had turned grey due to stress and my skin looked pale.

"Spidey's not so strong today" he chuckled painfully behind me and clamped my body close to his

My heart shattered and my blood rushed cold. I was hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

"Well, the tumor isn't smaller than a grain of rice. Actually, a lot larger. I need a transplant from a donor" he lightly prodded my back with his fingers

I was speechless and my breath my uneasy and shaky. I didn't do anything but grasp my head in disbelief. 

"No" I finally managed to utter out achingly

He didn't say a word, but grabbed my hand and slowly led me over to his bed.

"Come here" he crawled onto the delicate mattress and rested on his back

I cuddled up next to him breathing in his light fruity scent and he stroked my forehead. His warm lips were pressed to my neck and I heard his heart throbbing strongly through his sturdy chest. I felt like I was in a never ending trance of butterflies and weightlessness.

Zane's chocolate brown eyes were lost in mine and he hooked his large fingers behind my neck. His breath was slow and choppy and his eyes gazed lustfully into mine. Tears welled up in my eyes and his face relaxed charmingly. His thumb caught falling tears and his lips tugged into a smile.

"Don't cry, Zoe" he whispered sending his cool breath down my neck

He rocked over between my legs and surrounded my calm body with his. He placed both strong hands on the sides of my head causing my body to sink in further. My heart was glowing with pleasure as he narrowed in and planted hot kisses up my neck. I sighed in relief as the stress slowly melted away with each gentle touch.

His sweet warm breath tickled all the way up to my lips. I arched forward and brushed my fingers across his neck and slipped his beanie off. It replaced my fingers with the sensation of his heated hair and I grabbed a bunch and tugged him closer.His eyes were half-lidded with desire and he gently bit my lip begging for access. I parted my lips and his smooth tongue entered gracefully. Our lips glided over each other's passionately. He pulled away and snapped off his shirt revealing his heavily muscled body.

Zane let out a gasp as he observed my body sprawled out on his bed.

"Is this too much?" his breathing was rapid and his cheeks were tinted pink

"No.." whimpered steering his lips hungrily back to mine

"I love you" he whispered crisply in my ear

"I love you more" I smiled as he slid his husky hands around my waist
