The Boy Next Door

No More Secrets

Check out the slideshow in the media of what I picture Zane to look like. Btw. I changed the person. It's how I originally pictured him. So he looks different, but still the person I describe. Honestly he's sexier. So check that out if you can(; >>>>>>

Recap:

"I'm ready" I smiled against his lips

"I thought so" Zane chuckled and pulled me onto my feet with him

"Shall we?" he grinned widely

"Absolutely" I mimicked his goofy tone

He pulled me into his hard body and lured me forward with my back to his chest. Zane wrapped his muscular arms around my waist and his cool breath tickled my sensitive neck. He planted his lips on my collarbone and kissed lightly up to my chin.

"Isn't this lovely like I said It'd be?" his lips brushed against my neck as the rain trickled down on us

"It's perfect" I linked my arms around his as we began walking along the never ending shoreline of Pebble Beach

Chapter 24:  No More Secrets

"Pick anything you want" Zane spoke before shutting off the car engine

"This seems so surreal" I giggled and threw my head back

My eyes trailed up to the empty gas station stocked with snacks. The lucid neon lights flickered on the roof attracting gnats that read Pebble Gas-N-Snacks. Late hours always meant less people. I swung open the car door and we both stepped out drenched with sea water and coated head to toe with sand.

It was our routine now. We did it for weeks upon weeks. Almost like a ritual. Every late night (or early morning) when it rained, Zane and I ran down to the beach, had our sand/water fight, and after he usually took me home. But that night was different. He wanted to take me to the gas station to pick up some stuff.

"Think they'll notice?" my eyes lit up from laughter

"Not at all" Zane chimed and took my hand in his

He pushed through the door and immediately grabbed a load of junk food in his arms. I picked out my favorite, Rice Krispie treats, and a bag of cherry Twizzlers. I scanned Zane's arms which consisted of varieties of candy bars, Hostess chocolate cupcakes, a can of spray Cheddar cheese, and flavored chips. He was also balancing two Coke Slurpees in his fingers and slid them onto the ring up.

"Wow" the teenaged female cashier greeted us "May I ask the occasion?" she laughed as she rung the endless number of chocolate bars and noticed our sandy drenched clothes

I studied her skin which was deep tan, but flawless. Her big blue eyes stood out from her complexion and her thick lips were a coral pink. Her skinny arms and hands reached out for each item that fit perfectly in her grip. Her gold name tag read Abigail  but the rest of her was covered with curly wild blonde hair.

It was pretty wild blonde hair.

Each strand of her champagne locks plunged down in big natural curls and she had to brush it out of her eyes every time she reached for the next thing. She was gorgeous to look at. Such a beautiful girl.

"Cancer free" Zane smirked while pulling a bill out of his wallet

"I heard about it, congrats" she smiled and revealed her perfectly aligned white teeth

"Now" his chocolate brown eyes flickered onto mine "We're celebrating" he finished by pulling me into his strong familiar chest

"Zane.." the girl's eyes lowered under her lashes as she scanned the last item
