Hold Me Close

Chapter 15

[stephs p.o.v]

I woke up and nearly threw my alarm clock at the wall... I hate Monday mornings. I got ready and went downstairs for breakfast. My parents have recently been taking long hours at work, they're trying to save up for my college. Shit I didn't even think about it. Zac and I won't be able to see each other if we go to different colleges! I didn't even realise, what's going to happen between us? I don't want to think about it too much. As soon as I saw Zac I knew he was special, when I told him he was my first boyfriend... I didn't tell him the truth. You see I had a boyfriend two years ago in my old school, I thought we were meant for each other but we weren't. He would always come back to my house drunk and wreck the whole house. He threatened me into taking the blame and my parents would yell at me for ages. I haven't told anybody about him.. And I don't plan on saying anything about it for as long as possible. ~~~~ Zac picked me up and we drove in his car to the school. I sat with Zac and Zoey for the classes we had for the day. People continued to stare, just not as many people. I hope this whole thing is over with. Beth better not go near Zac, not like I can do anything about it. When school ended Zac and I went back to his place to do our homework, study and have some dinner. By the time we finished our dinner it was 8:00pm and it was starting to get dark. We snuggled up on Zacs couch anyway and watched some Disney movies. Zac didn't seem too interested but I love them. Suddenly in one swift movement, Zac flipped me around so I was facing him. 'Heyyy', I giggled. 'Hey sexy', Zac bit his lip, teasing me. I blushed and looked down, avoiding his eyes. 'Dont be shy Steph, what's wrong?', he asked. 'Nothing it's just nobody has treated me like you', I smiled as my eyes looked back into his again. 'Well, they're missing out. You are so beautiful Steph', he said smiling before kissing me gently. I couldn't help but kiss him back. My hands made their way to the back of his head, as they always do, before he kissed me softly again. After a while my phone rang, interrupting and startling us both. It was my mom, she said I had to come back home.I groaned before hanging up with a frown on my face. 'Dont worry babe, I'll see you tomorrow', he winked as he kissed me again. ~~ Zac dropped me back home and when I went to bed I got a little upset, thinking of what would happen when Zac and I will finish school.
