Sin City Adventures (A Zak Bagans FanFic)

Chapter 4: Waverly Hills

Zak was actually serious about me going to Waverly Hills with him and the crew. Never did I imagine I would do a full night's investigation with the Ghost Adventures team.

"Are you shitting me?"

"Actually, no. So you wanna do this or what?"

"Um, yes!" I accidentally slam my hands on the island counter harder than I meant to in excitement.

"Well, alright then! It's settled."

"No way! No way is this happening. Thank you!" I jump up off the barstool and embrace Zak in a tight hug wrapping my arms around his neck. I feel his arms reach around the small of my back, giving me chills. I quickly release Zak and back away. "Sorry. Got a little excited." I lower my eyes shyly.

"It's okay, really." Zak smiles wide. "We'll leave in a week." I smile back at Zak taking my seat back on the bar stool and swig the last gulp of water in the glass.

I couldn't wait for the day to come. I just hope that I don't get scared shitless and make a damn fool of myself. That would be seriously embarrassing.

I hang out at Zak's for the rest of the afternoon, getting to know the real Zak. It was getting to be late afternoon when Zak offers to drive me back to my apartment.

Zak drops me back off at home and I bust through the front door of our apartment. "Kelsey! You'll never guess what just happened!"

"What? What??" Kelsey runs frantically around the corner from her bedroom.

"Zak offered me an opportunity to go on an investigation with them to Waverly Hills next week!"

"What?! That's awesome!"

"I know. I still can't believe it. I just need to tell work on Monday that I'll need a few days off."

"Hopefully they'll give it to you."

"Yeah, I hope so. Man, I'm getting hungry."

I realize that my Saturday was full of running around with Zak and chatting it up. When I was with him, I didn't feel all that hungry, but now that I'm home my stomach is starting to let me know that all I've had today was a banana and a bowl of cereal for breakfast. I make my way to the refrigerator and browse to see what I can eat. Not much.

"Want to order a pizza?"

"Sounds good."

"Thin crust cheese?" We ask each other in unison and laugh.

Kelsey picks up her cell phone, "I'll call it in."

After eating I decide to hit the hay early. It's been a day! I lay in bed dreaming of my perfect day with Zak. Was it going to be like this from now on? Were we friends? Have Kelsey and Jay continued to talk? All these questions run my brain ragged not allowing me to sleep, as usual.

Buzz buzz.

I roll over and see my phone lit up on my nightstand with a message from Zak.

"Hey, beautiful."

He thinks I'm beautiful? I ask to myself and smile like the nerd I can be.

"Hey yourself :)"

"I'm really glad I was able to spend the day with you. It was refreshing."

"I'm glad too. I enjoyed it very much."

"I'm happy you did. I hope I'll see you again before we do our Waverly lockdown."

"Don't you worry. I won't forget about you ;)"
