Operation Date The Playboy CHAPTER 48: THE SECRET
** ZACH's POV **"Sneaky as always, huh, Hemmington." After I heard a very interesting story, I immediately went out and go hunt down Nathan.I'm at his apartment. I told Boris to use another number and pretend that Harry's in town and viola the bait is set."Anderson. I don't have time for this. I have to be somewhere." Nathan just continued to walk and ignored me. I'm still standing by the fireplace, busy examining my nails. I have to stay calm as possible. There were still a lot of questions that needed to be answered."If you're looking for Harry, he's not here. You just fell for my trap."Nathan stopped and looked at me disgracefully. "Seriously? We're not kids, dude. What do you want, Zach?""Well, I should ask you the same question, what game are you playing at?" I let that one out venomously. I guess I really can't suppress the anger I'm feeling right now. This guy is un-fuckin-believable.He just laughed sa

** JAMES' POV **I've been avoiding everyone since that very special day. Yeah, sarcasm. All my effort down the drain, what a waste. I wanted to tell Zach that Tori's intention might've been bad at first but she developed feelings along the way. If it weren't for that eavesdropper, blonde, everything was going so well.At that moment, it pains me seeing Tori like that. I don't want to see her in that situation. I've had enough of her misery. The last thing I want right now is to see Tori hurt, again. It's been more than a week already since my planned absence in school. I need to see where things are now. I immediately looked for Tori the moment I set foot in school. Surprisingly she's nowhere to be found. So I just decided to go to the school's third floor balcony hoping that I could find Zach, but to my disappointment, he's not there.I decided to stay there for a while, looking at the courtyard thinking what to do next. I contacted Zach.

** ZACH's POV ** 'What's keeping him so long?'I'm at one of our hotels in California where he's staying. It took me not long enough to know his location all thanks to good old Boris.With the perks of being an Anderson, I can do whatever I want. I can ride a private plane anywhere. It saves me a lot of time and time is what I need in this situation. I have to settle this once and for all. It's time to face my father.I've been thinking a lot. How I hate myself right now. Why didn't I hear Tori's explanation before? Why did I leave Mexico all of a sudden? Why didn't I ask for any explanation? And why is it that I waited a week to seek her out?I hate myself for being such a narrow-minded person. The moment I learnt that Tori used me, it never occurred to me that I used her as well. I came clean and only thought of myself. I blamed her for everything well in fact we just did the same. We used each other.If it weren't for Na

** ZACH's POV **In his own odd way, I guess, my dad, don't know how to be normal after all. He's being a father in his own unique way.Now that everything's settled, all I have to do is clean up my mess. I won't let Tori go this time around. I won't let her slide off the palm of my hands unless she hears me out.I'm ready to tell her everything she wants to know.I went to the third floor balcony, expecting James to be there. But to my disappointment, he's not. I've been calling him to ask if Tori said something to him but he's unreachable.Where in the world could he be?I've been to the studio, the library, and every possible place I could find both of them. I'm very certain that Tori's not with Nathan because he left the next day I learnt about his doings.Honestly, I didn't want him to leave right away but he insisted that he needed this break so that I could have the opportunity to explain everything to Tori.
Last Updated : 2022-02-28Operation Date The Playboy CHAPTER 52: THE OFFER
** TORI's POV **"Please. Leave." Zach's words were pleading and I can feel the pain in his voice. His eyes were still closed and it's clear that he doesn't want me near him. I'm somehow thankful that his eyes were shut, because the tears in my eyes were flowing freely. I'm trying my best to suppress my sobs.I watched him for about a few more seconds and then I took my retreat. I can't bear it anymore. I don't want to see him like that. I ran as fast as I can, away from him, away from this premise. I ran outside the school and hailed a cab to my house. There I started to burst in tears.I kept picturing Zach. At that moment, I want to come to him. To take back all the things I said a while ago. That it's not true that I don't love him anymore because in reality, I still do. I love him so much that it hurts.But I can't back out now. I have to do this for Chloe. I once promised that there is nothing coming in between our friendship.

** TORI'S POV **He's here. I heard the bell rang.I barely slept last night. Aside from the fact that I was busy packing for my supposedly vacation, I can't help but think why I even said yes to his offer.Checked the clock and it's four o' clock.Right on time.I can really say that going with Zach to Mexico is really a bad idea. It made me think twice if it's what I really wanted, and somehow I know I can be happy if I spend the next forty-eight hours with him. I had to be selfish. I know it's not going to be as easy as what we thought, saying goodbye and forgetting everything? What if we can't fulfill the promise we agreed upon? What if in the end, I'll keep Zach for myself?I dismissed the thoughts in my head. Today's the day that we'll have to forget everything and act as if nothing happened. We know that we need this. We will forget the lies, the drama and leave everything in New York. It's just going to be

** TORI's POV **I woke up with a smile plastered on my face. I stretched my arms to the other side of the bed, expecting Zach to be lying beside me, much to my disappointment no one was there. As I opened my eyes I'm in a bed, alone. I rubbed my eyes and sat up glancing at the surroundings thinking that he's sitting somewhere.I stood up taking a tour around the suite to find him."Zach?"I called out trying to ride along with his surprise.Where are you? Breakfast in bed perhaps? Pondering at the thought of me and Zach together again made me wonder how we're going to face everyone. I assumed when he said those three words last night we had an understanding.He wants me as much as I want him.As I checked the dining area of the suite, I saw silver platters carefully prepared as if a grand feast will take place. One thing I noticed though was a big cup of probably hot choco as if it was just prepared secon

**TORI's POV**"It still doesn't change the way I feel about you, Tori. Because despite everything, I still do."Zach's words kept on replaying inside my head. I don't know what to think anymore. I'm so confused. I don't know what to feel. What the heck am I supposed to do now? I told him that I don't love him anymore even if I still do.Why do I keep on lying to myself? Why did I even say that to him? Is it because of the fact that I'm in front of Nathan and James? I'm afraid that if I ever admit to him that I still love him, he might not believe me or worst, reject it. Why am I so stupid for falling for someone like him!"Tori." I was out of my reverie when Nathan called me out. "Are you alright?" Nathan worried.I looked at him and gave him a reassuring smile. It's been a week since the revelation and I really appreciate Nathan for not leaving my side. He's always been here for me.It's also been a week since I last saw Z
