A Way To You

"Home"

Jess informed Dany that she found Zac and now they were practically star gazing .

"Is that why you were afraid of flights" she asked him, and he nodded. 

"Even when I had to travel back to Florida it was by road."

"Coming here again would be traumatizing, why didn't you took a bus or maybe a train" 

she asked him questionably and he gave her a 'seriously' look

"Well Isn't it obvious?" she blinked a couple of times as he tore his gaze away

"How did you know I was here" He positioned himself to face her.

"I just knew that" Jess turned herself so they both were now facing each other.

"Beside that they say, when someone you love is in trouble we can feel it right away." 

He stared at her with hooded eyes and she smacked her lips right away

'I shouldn't have said that'

"Was this a confession" his expression were radiating an uncompromising look.

"Nah I was just quoting what movies say".

Zac was about to say something when she interrupted 

"truth or dare Zac"

It was almost to sudden that Zac forgot what he was about to say
"Um truth'' he uttered

"okay don't just take it any other way i am just curious , why were you dating Stacy ?"

"Were you perhaps jealous?" Zac replied while poking his tongue on his inner cheek causing her to sigh.

"Never mind then" 

"To be honest, I wanted to distract myself from you," Zac spoke, her eyes averted back to him.

"Liam and Lily were constantly forcing me to move on and Even Dany told me that Jess would never even think about you, plus I also wanted to see if you would be jealous but God knows how? you didn't even know I was dating" 

He scoffed and looked away prompting a smile on her face.

"Now your turn" Zac pointed at her and waited for her response.

Jess knew if she would take truth he would blurt out the possible question once again so she choose dare. 

"Okay then come here and sit in front of me " Zac said and she arched her eyebrow.

 "Why would I be doing that?" she questioned and Zac shrugged.

"Cause you chose the dare , and you started the game so you can't step back now" 

She stood up hesitantly and sat on the front which cause him to curl his arms around her waist as if back hugging her.

"now you've to chose the dare" Zac didn't budge.

"Screw the game let's just stay like this.

This night is sparkling don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing on the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you know

I was enchanted to meet you.

There was peace in the surrounding, it was a kind of silence which made both of them comfortable- his chin was placed on her shoulder and she was leaning back on his chest. For a moment they forgot what actually happened. They both were just immersed in each others embrace trying to chase the stars in the sky.

"You know the night sky is my favorite" Zac whispered in her ears.

" My uncle used to bring me here, he told me that my parents became a star who are guarding over me" he chuckled a bit.

"I told him it was cliche and things like that don't exist at all" She kept her hand above his arm and turned around.

"It's not childish at all, they would be looking at you right now" she raised her hands while pointing towards the sky.

"Then they would see how happy I am right now, right here with you" 

She turned to face him and his hooded eyes captured her, as the moonlight fell over him, it became impossible for her to look away, it was like she had been bewitched under some kind of spell.

His hand gently caressed her cheeks and he started to lean towards her cautiously, this time everything felt right.

She closed her eyes as she felt his breath on her lips and withing a split of second there lips connected with each other. 

He kissed her slowly. There was no hastiness, but still she could fell electric bolts all over her body.

This time she was conscious, and in her right state of mind; her hand surrounded his neck rubbing circles on his back as she now started to feel every possible emotion in this world.

Zac held her waist pulling her closer to himself.

He pulled away and now both of them were gasping for air, she still has her eyes closed and he continued staring her, the way her mouth was agape and her hair synced with the wind made him smile.

"I love you Jess " he whispered, his head rested on her, she opened her eyes, at this point maybe she was affirmed about her feelings all the chaos and complexions were gone now. 

She opened her mouth to say something when he stopped her. 

"I'll wait for you, but just so you know I won't give up"He brushed away the hair strands from her face. 

"Please hold on to me, Will you?" 

The look on his face was the most genuine look she had ever witnessed, she nodded and he embraced her. 

Sometimes home isn't a place , it's a person.You feel like you belong here, being with them becomes a magical time skip from your life, just by looking at that one person makes you forget every grieve and fill your inside with blissfulness.

And tonight Jess found her home.
