Hold Me Close

Chapter seven

[stephs p.o.v]

Zac and I told my mom about what happened and she was starting to get worried. We reassured her that everything would be fine now that Zac and Beth broke up. I'm so happy I'm with Zac, I can't believe he felt the same way. Soon enough my friend arrived. She came rushing in to see if I was alright and I told her I was fine.

It didn't take long for Naoimh to notice Zac. 'Who he?', she whispered pulling my aside. 'Oh, Naoimh this is my boyfriend Zac, Zac this is my Naoimh', I said introducing them. I still can't believe I said 'my boyfriend Zac'. 'Nice to meet you', Zac awkwardly said, not knowing wether to shake her hand or hug her. I just laughed and Zac smiled. 'Well eh I better get going Steph, are you ok or do you want me to stay a little longer', Zac winked as he ran his hands through his hair. 'Im fine now but I wouldn't mind you popping by later', I smiled. Zac looked shocked and confused. 'Oh my god, not that!', I giggled and Zac relaxed. I could tell Naoimh was feeling a little uncomfortable so I gave Zac a quick kiss and he made his way to his car before giving a wave and leaving.

'So when did you two start going out?', Naoimh nudged me, snapping me from my thoughts. "Oh, just today actually haha", I said smiling at the floor. "You two are literally adorable, I can tell you really care about each other", Naoimh said with a grin. "I do, I love him a lot, I know I've only known him a few days but it feels special I don't know why but it does", I said back. "Can you walk on your foot?", Naoimh asked looking at my ankle. "With difficulty, I'm sure if I rest it it should be okay for tomorrow", I said rubbing my foot. "If you want I can drive down to the mall and get you a Frappachino from Starbucks", Naoimh said twirling her keys between her fingers. "Oh yes please. I'll wait here though, my for needs a rest", I said. "Okay, I'll be about 5 minutes", Naoimh said smiling before skipping out to her car and driving off. I can't wait for her to get back.

What to do?, what to do? Naoimh has just left and I'm already bored. I guess I'll get something to eat, it's what I do when I'm bored. I slowly made my way into the kitchen without realising I wasn't wearing my glasses. I have a spare pair upstairs, how am I going to make it upstairs? I limped made way to the stairs and slowly walked up while holding onto the banister. I finally made my way to my room and found my others glasses. These ones were bigger, great, another reason to make fun of me. I stopped arguing with myself and put them on, instantly glad I did. I walked back downstairs and into the kitchen to get an apple. When I finished it I spotted Naoimh's car coming into the driveway and got really excited. I love Starbucks and anything in it. When she came in the door she handed me my drink and I started drinking it quickly. 'You swear you've never had a drink in you life!', Naoimh exclaimed. 'Yeah, I can be like that with Starbucks', I laughed. After watching TV, listening to our music and laughing at Tyler Oakley YouTube videos, it was 7:30pm and it was time for Naoimh to go home. We hugged at the door and promised each other we would see each other soon before she made her way to her car once more and left.

My mom went back to work after making sure I was okay. To be honest, I said I was okay so she would go. I picked up my phone to text Zac if he wanted to come over. I sat watching TV before Zac said he would come over. When he got here I opened the door and gave him a loving hug. It's weird how much I missed him after only a few hours of not seeing him. 'Hey babe are you okay?', Zac asked giving me a kiss. An unfamiliar rush streamed through my body when he said the word 'babe'. Probably because I've never heard him say it. 'Yeah I'm fine, how was school?', I asked as we broke apart from the kiss. 'Boring, only because you weren't there', he said with a wink. 'Aw, that's sweet, i missed you too', I said looking into his beautiful blue eyes. 'Do you want to watch a movie?', I asked avoiding looking at his bottom lip that he was biting, I don't want us going too fast in this relationship. 'Sure, what movie?', he said slowly sliding his tongue across his lip. I can't believe I have this effect on him, I'm both shocked and proud of myself. 'I don't know.. Monsters Inc', I said shyly. 'Haha okay, why not', he said softly chuckling whilst closing his eyes. That is officially the hottest thing I've seen him do.

We made our way into the sitting room, I walked in before him. 'Your limping', Zacs concerned voice cracked. 'Yeah, my foot is a little sore', I said lifting it up slightly. 'Here let me see if I can fix it', he said grabbing some supplies from my cupboard I pointed to. He applied some cream onto it and wrapped a bandaid around it. 'Thank you', I said looking into his crystal eyes. He slowly leaned in for a kiss. He was doing this on purpose. The temptation was killing me. I closed the gap between our mouths as I couldn't wait any longer. 'Someones feisty', he smiled into the kiss. He lifted me off my feet and brought me to the couch were we continued kissing. Me being my stupid self I said 'if were going to watch the movie we should put it on'. 'Screw the movie', Zac said in his low raspy voice before kissing me again. 'Im home!', my mom said opening the front door. Shit.
