Zach found himself on the balcony of his room, seeking solace in the conversation he desperately needed from someone, anyone. He heard a knock on the door of his room, his head turning in his head towards the sound. He wondered who it was at the door but he knew it couldn't be Chloe. She was long gone by now, he was sure. “Come on in,” he said and Mrs. Fletcher poked her head into his room. Mrs. Fletcher was a very caring and wise housekeeper, and he loved it when they had conversations. She greeted him with a warm smile as she walked into his room. “Chloe is gone.” Mrs. Fletcher said and he nodded, and then he started to talk about his confusion and emotions regarding Chloe. “I just don’t know what to do with all these. It’s just so confusing and frustrating for me. She’s right in front of me, yet she looks so out of grasp.” He said. Mrs. Fletcher listened attentively, and she realized that all she could do was provide guidance and reassurance. “You know this isn’t about y
Zach sat down in his car outside Chloe’s house, thinking about how to say what he wanted to say. It wasn’t going to be easy, not after the way he had treated her when she came over to his house. He was sure she had swallowed her pride to come to him but what had he done? He had just shoved her away with the words of his mouth and action of his words. He should have been more open about the way he felt a long time ago, and not now when all she wanted to do was kill him at sight, and trustfully, he deserved that. Sighing, he rubbed his face with his hand, trying not to do push his hair back because it will make it all messy. Mustering the courage to get out of the car after about half an hour he had been parked out front, he opened the car and walked to the door of the house. Once, then twice, he knocked on the door and took a step back to wait for the door to be open, hoping she was the one that would open the door. He felt that, if she was to reject him on the spot, then his humi
The next day at school, Zach didn't see Chloe, and it was as if it was her turn to avoid her. He tried to find her at every break, but couldn't and even Hailey wasn't seen as well, which means that they were avoiding him purposefully. Well, he deserved that, he knew that at least, but he also deserved to be given a chance to explain himself to her and apologize. He walked to his next class, the last one of the day with the thought of not seeing Chloe, only to bump into someone's back as the stopped abruptly at the door of the class. Frowning, he grabbed their shoulder to stop them from falling forward, seeing as the collision had been strong. The moment he grabbed her though, he knew who it was he had collided with. Chloe!Her touch told him so, her smell told him so, the way her skin felt under his touch told him so, the way an electrifying zap ran through him told him so. He looked at her now, grabbing her even harder and pulling her to him. In his arms, Chloe struggled to pus
Kissing her was the last thing she expected Zach to do when he had warned her to stop shouting, and it was why she had been so surprised she couldn’t resist him. As soon as his lips started to move against his, she grabbed his T-shirt and started to kiss him back. Oh goodness! She was kissing Zach Elliot-Day in a broom closet in school after being sent to detention. Well, maybe all the other details were not important, because she had just added them because she was surprised, but what she meant was conveyed. Zach's tongue pushed against the seams of her mouth, tracing her lips and licking them like he would a sweet thing. She moaned into his mouth as he sucked in her bottom lip into his mouth, sucking it for a moment before releasing it to focus on the upper one. Damn, this bit sure knew how to kiss so good, and she could do this for such a very long time just not to miss it, but it ended too soon though, because about a couple of minutes later, or maybe more than, she wasn't sur
“What are you doing, really?” Chloe asked as she crossed her arms over her chest, tilting her head once again to the side, as she asked him the question. “Well, I don't understand your question, Chloe!” he said, lifting his ridiculously wide shoulders in a shrug. “I just need to get water and make some coffee, that's all.” He said. Of course that was what he wanted to do, and Chloe was just overreacting, she said to herself. “Fine then! I'm going to the bathroom first, do you want to follow me there too?" she asked, her arms still folded across her chest, pushing up her breasts up a little. Zach's eyes went down there for a little while and then he look back up at her, a mischievous smile on his face. “Huh, that would depend on whether or not you're inviting me, little bird!” he said with a wink. “Of course not, I'm certainly not inviting you to follow me.” She said, rolling her eyes but also feeling embarrassed. Her cheeks started to turn red, burning under his gaze and she quick
When Zach decided to come to the movie night today, it wasn't to watch movie but to see Chloe again. She had tried the very best to avoid him in school after their kiss and he didn't want to go after her with so many people always around her when he saw her, just to avoid a scene. He knee quite well always in a crowd was on purpose. Yesterday, after he was asked by Liam what was going on with him, he had convinced him to see her again, to Zach's surprise. They had never spoken to each other on that level before so it amazed him that the outcome wasn't his laughter outburst, but of understanding and reason. Damn, didn't he miss her. Like he had told Chloe herself that day at the broom closet, it was a mistake to have kissed her like that, because now, she was all he could think about and that sucked. All he had to do was sit alone and he would think about how she felt against him in the broom closet that day. All he had to do was lay in bed with his eyes opened or closed and he woul
Trying to prove anything to someone was hard enough, much less, proving to Chloe that he was serious about his feelings.Although, he felt like she should know it was a long time coming, or maybe her mom never told her that when a boy bullies her, it was because he liked her. He laughed at the thought, and Liam looked at him with a small frown, probably wondering what was so funny to him without them even talking. Well, he was definitely going to tell him if he asked. It wasn't something he could keep to himself, no, not with the way he felt at the moment. Or maybe it was the way he had been feeling since Friday when Chloe had said to him “If you truly want me, then show me you like me, and ask me out properly in front of someone, anyone” and she had walked away, knowing shaking her hips as she went, smiling. Of course, he understood why she had asked that of him, and wanted him to ask her out in front of someone. It was because she wanted to make sure this wasn't some sort of elab
“No father, you're getting it all wrong. She's not my anything, and she shouldn't have been your anything either.” He said to him without even turning to look at him. He wasn't even worth that effort from him. This was why he hated an encounter with him, because they were always getting in fights, and it was always because of this woman standing here with tears in her eyes, whether she was present it not. “I will not have my own son talk to me like that, not in my fucking house. I don't look after you to become this…” Zach scoffed. This was the biggest nonsense he had ever heard of in his entire life. “I don't understand what you mean, dear father of mine. Look after me? How? When was that? You!” he said, finally turning to look at him and pointing to him. “I would like for you to explain to me how you did look after me. Please, try to explain it so that I can understand.” He said. “I put you in the best school in this town, and pay for your school fees, I put a roof over your hea
