Perfect ◇ Why Don't We

Chapter 26

It was raining. Zach stopped his car on the side of the road and looked at Eliza who was sleeping peacefully.

He caressed her soft cheek smoothly from his hand before he let out a sigh.

He took his hand away from her cheek and looked out of the car window to see the environment filled with darkness. It reminded him about himself. It reminded how his Eliza who was his sunshine was slowly moving away from him leaving him into darkness.

He got off the car and walked in front of his car and sat on the bonnet of the car. The rain water hugged his perfect muscular body as he slowly drifted into thoughts about Eliza and Corbyn. He was jealous of how Corbyn makes Eliza happy and how he makes her smile without an effort. At the same time he was angry about himself for how useless he was. He felt like he was not good enough for her. He was afraid of losing her. He was afraid that Corbyn would take her far away from him.

"Zach?" Zach heard the angelic familiar voice making him snap out of his deep thoughts. He looked up to see Eliza standing in front of him holding an umbrella for both of them.

"Hey." Zach smiled.

"Hey." Eliza smiled back. "What are you doing sitting here? It's raining. You'll catch a cold."

"Thinking." Zach sighed.

"About?" Eliza asked.

"Forget it." Zach smiled, shaking his head slightly.

"Wanna dance with me?" Zach asked, changing the subject as he offered his hand to her.

"In the rain?" Eliza asked, making him nod.

"Alright." She smiled and took his hand as she let go of her umbrella making it fall to the ground revealing them to the rain.

Zach led her over to the front of the car. Zach took her other hand and lowered one of his to her waist, while Eliza placed her other hand on his shoulder. They started to dance in the rain as they placed their heads together. The temporary dye that kept Eliza a brunette slowly dissolved into the ground showing her blonde hair.

Zach twirled Eliza around before he pulled her back into him roughly making a small gasp escape her lips.

They both gazed in each other's eyes longingly, not a word spoken by either of them as their faces dripped with the wintry gift from the clouds.

It had always been written in their gaze, a chemistry, a seed of love, an invitation to learn about the other. She was lost within the breathless paradise of his dreamy eyes.

In the rain Zach's hair becomes one with his face, wetly draped over the bone structure that drives her crazy. His expression was serious. She wondered if he knew how crazy that drives her, how it makes her want to feel every inch of his skin.

No sooner without any authority he clutched his hands unto her hips, leaning her in against his muscular body. As a result she was weakened by his gentle seductive touch. Her breathing hastened, the intense rhythm of her heartbeat underwent an irregular count.

While pressing his body against her and continuing gazing within her eyes, he began kissing her now frail neck which made her even weaker than before.

He moved his lips to hers and kissed the droplets from her lips making her smile through the kiss. He deepened the kiss passionately like he couldn't wait anymore as his hands flexed around her back.

Zach pinned her down flat onto the car bonnet, then mounted her. She felt a hot breath on her neck, then the tender brush of lips burning as they made contact with her neck making her gasp and moan underneath him.
