chapter three

Oh god.

“ Um sure.” I said, not quite knowing what to do. I wanted a relationship so badly, but I was so nervous and scared at the same time.

Zac let me go, but had his arm around my waist. I smiled as I put my arm around him and we walked back to the table.

About an hour later we left and I went back to their apartment. Heather and Taylor headed straight for Taylor’s bedroom while Ike and Jenn took the couch and started watching a movie. Zac took our coats and came back from the closet.

“ Come on back to my room, we can watch a movie or something in there.” he said. He took my hand and everything went black.

I woke up when someone put a cold cloth over my forehead.

“ Oh god, what happened?” I asked, feeling about three feet tall.

“ You passed out. Are you okay?” Zac asked, seemingly worried.

“ Yeah, I guess. I’m sorry.” I said.

“ Ah, that’s okay. I hear my touch has that affect on people.” He said smiling. I giggled and he helped me up off the floor. I saw Isaac and Jenn standing beside me.

“ You okay?” Ike asked.

“ Yeah. I’m cool.” I said.

“ That’s good.” Jenn said. They smiled and returned to their movie. Taylor’s bedroom door opened and Taylor peaked out with a bare shoulder.

“ Everything okay?” he asked. Zac looked at him and laughed.

“ Yeah, you guys just go back to what ever in the hell you were doing...but don’t do it to loud, me and Layla are gonna watch a movie in my room.” Zac said. I laughed at his tone of voice.

“ Sure you are little bro...movie..uh-hu.” Taylor said ducking his head back into the room and locking the door. I heard giggles from inside and then Zac led me into his room.

He had dark royal blue sheets and comforter. His walls were white, and he had different concert posters up on the walls.

“ Wow...a Led Zeppelin poster, how did you get that?” I asked, looking at it behind the frame.

“ E-bay is a wonderful thing.” Zac said smiling.

“ Wow, these are awesome.” I said looking at some of the others. He had Eric Clapton, Aerosmith and one that kind of surprised me. “ Green Day?” I asked, not knowing that he liked punk. Not that I thought that he hated it, but he just never mentioned it.

“ Yeah, that was my first mosh pit.” he said smiling.

“ Me too!!!!” I said laughing. Wow, we had more in common than what I had originally thought.

“ So, what movie do you want to watch? I have Fight Club, Titan A.E., Virtuosity, Seven...um, I think I’ve got some porn around here if Ike will let me into his stash. I know he’s got some.” Zac said laughing. I giggled.

“ Fight Club is good. That’s one of my favorites.” I said.

“ Me too.” he said. He popped the video into the VCR and sat on the bed. He motioned to me to come up and sit beside him. We never made it through the movie. I fell asleep on his shoulder and he fell asleep short after I did. I woke up the next morning in Zac’s arms and wiped my eyes. I sat up and looked down at Zac sleeping beside me. He looked so peaceful and content. I brushed a stray hair out of his face and took his arm from around my waist and got up, put my shoes on and left.

Out in the kitchen I saw Ike and Jenn making breakfast, while I saw Heather and Taylor making googly faces at eachother from across the table.

“ Good morning Layla.” Ike said, smiling at me from the stove.

“ Good morning everyone.” I said smiling. “ Um, I’ve got to go, so can you tell Zac that I’ll call him later.” I said. I had gotten their phone number last night before we had fallen asleep.

“ Okie dokie.” Jenn said, laughing at Ike dancing around the kitchen making the pancakes. I chucked and got my coat from the closet and slipped out the door.
