"It's okay, it'll be better if I stay at the hospital," I said
as I scooted closer to the door, putting a considerable
distance between Zach and myself.
"Don't be stupid, we have a room here and it's large
enough for the two of us so why do you want to
damage your spine by staying there for another day?"
Zach asked while rummaging through his suitcase.
God, he'd been digging through that thing for ages,
what was he looking for?
"But...what if Olivia needs me, what if there's an
emergency?" I asked, biting my lip nervously; these
were petty excuses obviously, but when I considered
the alter-native, titanic-sized butterflies started attacking
my stomach. No way was I ready to stay in the same
room as him. Yes, we'd shared something
extraordinary at the hospital, something which made
my skin tingle just from thinking about it but we were
nowhere' near ready to live together. No way, not with
his mood swings and temper issues.
"You know if I wasn't the nice guy that I am I would
be offended by your lack of want to stay with me," he
mused as he looked at me with a sly smirk on his
face. I pushed myself nearer and nearer to the door
until my entire body was pressed against it. I didn't
like the way he was looking at me, not the slightest
bit. It was making me nervous and anxious;
instinctively my hands went to touch my lips, which
were starting to tingle from anticipation. No! I scolded
myself. There would not be a repeat of last time; we
had too many issues to work out before we allowed
ourselves to indulge in activities like that.
"I-I'm NOT scared of you Zach," I said with stubborn
determination that only made his smirk grow wider.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest and unleashed
the full power of his dazzling eyes on me. "Is that so?"
he asked as he strode towards me. Okay Ari, breathe,
it's okay, you can handle him, I told myself as he
continued walking towards me.
"Are you sure?" he asked when he was only a couple
of inches away from me and I nodded vigorously. He
was so not getting the satisfaction of intimidating me. I
raised my chin and narrowed my eyes suspiciously as
he kept moving closer and closer. Then he placed his
arms against the door on either side of my head and
leaned in. I tried to control my heart from going
haywire but it was sort of pointless. My senses were
attacked by his scent and my train of thought went
totally off track once I gazed into his eyes.
"You could still change your answer," he whispered
huskily and all I could do was stand stalk still and stare
at him. There was something really different about
Zach, it was a side of him I'd never seen before, not
even when I used to meet him with Olivia. There was
a twinkle in his eyes, his body wasn't as tense as it
used to be and there were no worry lines on his face.
When he realized I wasn't going to respond or rather
wasn't able to respond, he chuckled and bent down so
that his lips touched my hair. I shuddered as his hot
breath fanned the side of my face. I leant back so that
my neck was arched towards him.
"Well then I guess we'll just have..." he trailed his
mouth from my ear to my cheek, leaving a path of
burning skin behind and stopped just at the corner of
my mouth. I gasped in surprise as his hands went to
my waist. Zach pulled back slightly and his eyes
burned into mine; I knew this was his way of asking
permission and whatever he saw in my eyes told him
that he could do whatever he pleased. He brought his
lips to mine for the second time that day and they
barely brushed against each other when a loud knock
on the door outside made us jump apart. Startled, I
placed my hand against my chest, where' my heart
threatened to jump right out of it. My face was
beetroot red as I moved aside and let Zach open the
door. I rushed to the attached terrace to get some cool
air and behind me I heard the voice of the cleaning
lady telling Zach that she'd brought clean towels. Don't forget to leave a Comment
