'Shit what will we do!?', I whisper shouted to Zac who is still practically on top of me. 'I don't know!, we are going out, will she mind?', he asked standing up quickly putting his hands on his head, clearly frustrated. 'I honestly don't know, this has never happened before!', I said not knowing what to do. 'Sit on the couch and I'll turn on the TV', I said as he followed my instructions. 'Hey Steph-- oh hi Zac how are you?', my mom asked as she walked in the room to see us both watching TV. 'Im fine, thank you very much', Zac looked back with a smile. 'Okay well just remember if you can't go to school tomorrow Steph, you can stay home', she said leaving the room. We both let out a sigh before laughing at what had just happened. 'That was too close', Zac said running his hand through his perfectly messy hair. 'I know it was, maybe next time you should let us watch the movie', I said winking, copying his actions. 'Oh please, you didn't want to watch that movie anyway', Zac said with a grin. He wasn't lying, the movie was just a distraction, a distraction that failed. 'I suppose your right', I said sticking out my tongue like a five year old. 'God Steph, the things you do to me', he said biting his lip again. 'TMI, TMI!', I said covering my ears with smiling. 'Its true though', he laughed, taking my hands down from my face and moving closer to me. He lifted my chin up with his hand so I was looking into his eyes again. He leaned in our foreheads touched. 'I love you Steph', Zac said with no hesitation. 'I love you too Zac', I said before he brought his lips to mine once again.

I'm glad I told Steph how I was feeling, even better, she said it back! I love Steph so much and I've never felt this way about anyone before.

When we finally broke away from our passion filled kiss it took me a while to catch my breath. 'You take my breath away, literally', I said causing Steph to giggle. God that laugh is so adorable. 'Have I ever told you how beautiful you are? Well Steph, you are the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on', I say looking into her lust filled eyes. 'Really? That's flattering, you're not too shabby yourself', she smirked. 'Why do you blush at everything I compliment you on?', I asked curiously. 'Well it's just.. Nah it's stupid', she said not finishing. 'Tell me Steph', I said looking into her eyes as she looked back into mine. 'Well it's just, I've... I've never had a boyfriend before', she said looking at the floor, ashamed. 'Are you serious', I asked astonished. 'I told you it's stupid', she said, her eyes watering. 'No I didn't mean it like that! All I'm saying is that I'm amazed a guy has never been with a girl as beautiful, smart and perfect as you!', I say lifting her chin once again. Her tears started to vanish and a smile appeared on her face. 'Thank you Zac', she said wiping under her eyes. 'No problem babe', I say holding her and kissing her forehead.

Zac is so sweet, I couldn't ask for a better person to be with, not that I know any different. Time went by, us watching TV whilst cuddling, and soon enough, Zac had to leave. 'Goodnight beautiful', Zac said kissing me before getting in his car and driving off. I stood there watching the driveway for a few seconds before my mom saying 'he seems like a really nice boy'. 'He sure is', I smiled to myself before turning around. 'Well I better go have a shower and go to bed', I say yawning to my mother. 'Here I'll get you something to eat when you get out', my mom said making her way to the kitchen. Whilst in the shower, I thought of Zac, I find myself always doing that.When I was dressed I ate the toast my mom made then went to bed. 'Goodnight<3' Zac texted. I smiled and texted back the same
