Zach:

"I like you too", is what she said.

I could feel Ray doing this victory dance.

"Our mate likes us our mate likes us", is all he chanted

"Zach, Zach?", I was brought out of my stated by Amber waving her band infant of my eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"Zach yes I am sure", she said smiling at me.

"Are you sure? Did you actually ask her that? Do you realise how big of a douche you are", Ray commented.

And as I saw her smiling at me all my feelings towards her started gushing up and I pulled her into a tight embrace

"Zach you will kill me I can't breathe"

"Oh sorry", I said taking my hands back

"It's ok", she said throwing her hand across my neck.

"Let's finish our pizza now. Shall we?", she asked in a muffled voice through the hug.

"Yup," I said pulling out after passing a kiss on her forehead.She beamed at my action and sat with a pizza box on her lap.

"Umm so Nic and you are brothers?", she asked pulling a piece of the pizza slice

"No, like yes he is like a brother but he isn't my blood relation. I don't have anyone alive"

"Oh I'm sorry", she said with a frown

"It's ok"

"But what happened to your parents? Sorry", she said biting her lower lip," You don't have to answer that"

"They died in an accident", I said blankly

"Did they love you? I'm sorry bad question everyone's parents love them. So any siblings?"

"Nope, I was their single child. What about you? Like if you're fine with answering the question, you can skip it if you want"

"Ok so I will try answering them, but I don't guarantee any answers", she looked up at me with her shining brown orbs and continued, " So I asked you the question that did your parents love you? And I know the obvious answer is yes but in my case, I don't know if my father loved me or not. My mother did, she used to say I was a replica of her but my father held a grudge against me. Like I wasn't his perfect daughter. No matter what I did it was never enough.", she stopped as her voice started to crack.

Amber:

I stopped when I was on the verge of breaking down and Zach put his arm across my shoulder comforting me. It felt home in his arms. I snuggled closer to him and let his warmth spread across my body as I fell into his embrace.

Slowly I closed my eyes and let sleep take over me.

I slept in peace.

I slept in the arms of a person I trusted, I slept in the arms of a person I believed I could tell my story.I slept with a smile on my face.

Zach:


I didn't realise how long I had her in my arms or how long she fell into her calm slumber. All I could notice was the smile that was spread across her face and that I was the person who was the reason behind it.It was 10 by the time I looked at my watch and therefore I picked her up in my arms and tucked her in her bed.

"Please stay", she said mummers that were hardly audible

"I am on the couch", is all I whispered into her ears before taking a sheet and laying on the couch.

Ray was happy, I was happy and soon sleep took over us.

Suddenly in the middle of the night, I felt Ray going restless,

"Ray what's is now?"

"Go check on mate she needs us"

I rushed into her room and saw her breathing heavily and turning and tossing in her dream.I quickly went to her side and held her to my chest."I am here Amy I am here" I cooed her as she sniffed in my scent and calmed herself in the dream and went off to her sound sleep.

Amber:

It was dark and cold.

I could see no one around and then suddenly I heard someone scream, he was screaming at me, "YOU BITCH, YOU'RE GOOD FOR NOTHING. I DOUBT THAT YOU'RE EVEN MINE"

I whimpered I shivered, I realised the voice belonged to my father.

It was getting colder and colder, I was shivering I breath was getting heavy, cold sweat had started to form and all that came out of my mouth was, "I am sorry, I am sorry", tears escaped my eyes and then suddenly I was rapped in someone's warm embraced, the sun shone and the weather change. It was warm and homely.It is from Zach.

In the morning when I woke up I couldn't move it was like someone was holding me back and then I realised it was Zach. His perfectly built body laid close to my small frame.

And then I remember the nightmare I hadn't had it in a long time. It was scary, I realised that every time I remember my family it came back to haunt me, to remind me I had no-one of my own but yesterday's was different there was Zach. He saved me. Maybe Zander was right I should trust him.

I moved out of the bed tiring not to wake him up and made my way towards the washroom, I realised that it was time I opened up a bit more.

After showering I opened my hair from the ever-existing bun and tied it into a braid.My hair was dark brown from the roots and had platinum blonde in its end, for now, I will tell that I had got it highlighted maybe.And pulled on a hoodie as I realised today was a Saturday so no office. I wanted to take my decisions alone so I just texted Zander.

Me: Hey! Got some work. Won't be able to come today. I will meet you tomorrow.


And then went to the kitchen to cook some breakfast.As I was tossing some eggs Zach walked in.

"You good?"

"Yeah, and Good morning", I said putting his coffee mug on the counter

"Thanks, What's cooking? Smells good", he said with a dazzling smile

"Sausage and eggs but go brush your teeth first else no breakfast for you"

"Sure ma'am", he said brushing his lips on my cheeks.

Electric sparks ran through my veins.

"I have put a spare brush on the stand", is all I could mutter before turning back to my eggs as my cheeks turned pink.

"Here", I passed him his plate as he walked out of the bedroom.

"Your hair", he said looking bewildered

"Is something wrong", I said touching my braid

"It looks pretty"

"Thanks", I said blushing at the compliment.
