*Three days later*
I haven't talked to Zac since the incident at the moon pool. It's been school, work, home. That's it.
I've also been thinking about it a lot too.
I groan as I drop myself on my bed when I get home from work.
What have I done?! This ruins everything! Now he really knows I like him. I mean, he should, shouldn't he?
"Melody? You alright?" Mom asks from the doorway.
"I'm fine," I say.
"Good, because Zac's here to see you," she says with a smirk before walking out. I bolt straight up.
What is he doing here?!
I go downstairs to the living room to see him lounging. Typical Zac!
"Um, hey Zac," I say, knowing Mom is in the other room.
"Hey, can we talk?" he asks.
"Uh, yeah. Sure," I say before following him out the front door and to the beach.
"You've been avoiding me," Zac states when we get to a secluded part of the beach behind some big rocks.
"No I haven't," I lie.
"Don't lie to me, I know you have," he says.
"I know," I sigh before sitting down on one of the rocks.
"Why?" he asks after sitting down next to me.
"I don't know. It's just, after what happened at the moon pool, I figured you wouldn't want to be friends anymore," I say.
"Why would you think that?" he asks, "We've been best friends since, forever! I'd feel like a terrible person if I ended our friendship like that!"
"I know, but it's not that I didn't like it, I did. But I got embarrassed and ran," I explain subtly.
"Why be embarrassed?" he questions.
"I don't know, I figured since we've been friends for so long, you wouldn't see me as anything more," I explain.
Before I can anything more, his lips are on mine. It isn't a rough sexual kiss. It's a soft, beautiful, passionate kiss. When we pull apart, he places his forehead on mine.
"But I do, I had seen you as more than just my friend for years," he says.
"Really?" I ask, "What about Evie?"
"I broke up with her yesterday," he says.
"Why?" I ask him.
"Because, I always have someone else on my mind. I never really liked her anyway," he says subtly, "Did I ever tell you that she was the one who asked me out? I never asked her."
"I always thought you asked her!" I exclaim.
"Nope, she asked me," he says.
I scoff and say, "She must've really been desperate to get away from me then!"
"What?" he get confused.
"We were pretty good friends before you two started going out. Then you two got together, and she totally dumped me to the side!" I explain.
"I-I didn't know," he stutters.
"It's okay, even when we were friends, she was rude to me. I'm kind of glad we're not friends anymore," I say.
"Well thats... good," he says," I should probably get you home then."
"Can't we go for a swim first? I haven't been in three days!" I say.
"Race you," he says before speeding off.
"Not fair!!" I yell after him and I sprint after him.
