The Wish You Had ↠ Zak Bagans

Chapter 34

~ Diana's P.O.V.

"Ski and Bee went to bed" Zak said walking into the living room and sitting down on my right side. I look up from the book I was reading in my hands to look at him.

"Is Ski okay" I put my book down in my lap "Yeah she's okay, we talked for a bit then I told her to go to sleep" he puts his arm behind my head on the couch. He grabs the remote control to the TV and turns it on.

I continue to read my book.

Zak leans over and kisses my cheek, I look at him, he was smiling. "What" I smiled back "you're cute when you read" he coos.

I kiss him back on the cheek "thank you" I said and went back to my book. A minute later he does it again but this time he kisses my neck, my eyes close. It hurt when he kissed there, because of what Sam had wrapped that bag around my neck with Dutch tape.

"Zak" I take in a sharp breath, he pulls away "I am so sorry" he said.

"Do you think I look pretty like...this" I point to my face, he eyebrows come together in confusion. "You're worried about you're looks" he raises an eyebrow at me, I look down. He puts a finger under my chin and makes me look at him "why do you put yourself down like that? You are beautiful Diana, no matter what. If you woke you in the morning looking like a train wreck; hair all over the place or stink breath. You would still be beautiful to me" he leans in and kisses my lips softly as possible.

I kiss him again softly.

"Spend the night" he leans his forehead against mine and looks into my eyes. I think about it for a second, should I? Or not?

"Okay" I smile, he smiles back and kisses me softly. I place my hands on each side of his face, he places one hand on my right side of my face which hurt from my bruises. He must have known it hurt me because he took his hand away and placed it on my waist.

I kissed a little harder bearing the pain I am feeling. I scoot closer to him not breaking the kiss. I wrap my fingers into his hair, he licks the bottom of my lip asking for permission which I hesitantly agree. His tongue is so foreign to me because all I've been with is Sam.

He pulls away reluctantly "we can't" he said putting his forehead against mine. "Yeah okay, I get it, I understand" I scoot back to where I was sitting before.

"I just think we should get to know each other better before going any further" his hair is messed up because of me running and wrapping my fingers into it. I nod my head.

So he started to talk.

***

I stand by his bedroom door waiting for him to pick out some clothes for me to wear.

He holds up some boxer shorts and a gray T-shirt. "These are big but I think you can manage them" he hands them to me "I'll leave so you can change" he leaves the room shutting the door behind him.

I take off my jeans, shirt, and bra and put on the clothes he gave me.

I sit down on his bed and looked around the room from my spot. I feel like I an cheating on my boyfriend but I'm not.

I'm nervous to sleep in the same bed with him. "Diana" he knocks on the door and opens it slowly. He peaks in and sees I am fully dressed, he comes in and shuts the door.

I exhale, trying to come my nerves. I lay down getting under the blankets, he turns off the lights and comes back to the bed. He gets under the blankets also.

I try not touch him. I face the door, "this feels weird" he whispered in the dark "how does this feel weird to you" I whispered back. "Because I'm not use to someone sleeping in the same bed with me" I hear him come closer to my ear.

I could feel his breath down my neck, it was silent after a while. He must have fallen asleep because I can hear his light snores.

I search for his hand under the blanket, once I found his hand I put it around my waist. I felt safe with it there, he pulls me closer to his body.

"Now this does not feel weird" he whispers into my ear, that sent shivers down my back. I turn around to face him, the moon light was shining into the room and onto his body. Zak wore no shirt but blue pajama pants.

I place a hand on his cheek and kissed him on the lips. I pulled away, he smiles at me then with one last tug to pull me closer he closed his eyes.

~ Next Morning (Sunday) 9 AM

I woke laying on Zak's chest and his arm wrap around my back.

I didn't want to move from this position. I felt like if I moved he would sink into the bed and not come back or he'll disappear and this would be a dream.

His hand moves up and down the side of my left ribs, I pretend I'm sleeping "If you're listening Diana I want to tell you that I think I'm falling in love with you" he continues to rub my ribs.

My eyes open up and go wide, I raise up off his chest and look at him "Zak.." I didn't know what to say "it's okay if you don't feel the same way towards me yet but I just wanted to tell you that. It's just I've been waiting to tell you that" he said and looked me in the eyes. Captivating me in his blue eyes.

I lean down and kiss him on the lips lightly "I'm sorry" I said. I get out of bed and grab my clothes I wore yesterday and went to the bathroom.

I changed my clothes and left the bathroom, Zak was now sitting up on the bed with his head hung low. I place his clothes I wore on his bed "I have to go to work" I said, he looks up at me and nods.

I leave his room and went to the guest room, I open the door. Ski and Bee were awake in bed on their phones, "come on girls I'm dropping you at home" they get out of bed. They put on their shoes and grab their valuables.

We leave the house and got into my car.

I take them home and went to work.

~ After Work 5 PM

In my car I have a dog that I can't take care. I only have it because I had no choice but to take it in.

The dog was stranded with no owner and needed a home, all my co-workers have animals already. So it was left to me to keep it.

I pulled up to the house, I turn to look at the scared white and black spotted dog. I get out of the car and grabbed the dog in the back seat.

I went inside and introduced the girls to the dog, they loved her instantly.
