Hey guys! Well, this is the sequel/spin-off to My Heart's Debut. That was probably my favorite story to write, and I know how much you guys loved it considering the feedback I always got from you guys. So I brought it back just for you guys!! But hopefully this continuation will live up to the first one and maybe bring in twice as much feedback to get a third story? I dunno. LOL. Wow, it's almost been a year since I first published the first, and now it's the second. HAHA. This feels like I made a movie or something. Anyways, ENJOY YOU GUYS!
Just a Warning;;; You have to read My Heart's Debut in order to understand some of the parts in this story. I'm bringing back some of the characters from the first story into this as you'll soon find out after reading this chapter, & some aren't returning. But who knows, they all might make a brief appearence.
Her laughter rang in his ears as he had lifted her off the ground, his arms around her waist, swinging her around. Her arms clung around his neck as she squealed. It was Fall, and they were just taking a walk in the park, talking about everything and anything. A little over a year ago, they had gotten together on the night of her birthday at her Debut. Their love for each other was evident to everyone who had ever seen them together. He loved that laugh of hers, and she loved those eyes of his. The golden leaves crunched beneath their feet as he set her down. He kept his hands around her waist, as did she with her arms around his neck, both of them smiling radiantly at each other. He leaned down and put his forehead against hers, causing them to close their eyes, enjoying their silent moment in the secluded park on a perfect afternoon. She pulled her head away, and looked into his eyes and smiled, which he returned.
"I love you, Zac." She grinned.
"I love you too, Vanessa." He told her before leaning in to kiss her gently on the lips. A smile played on their lips as the kiss became more passionate. She pulled away before grabbing his hand and they continued to shuffle through the decaying leaves that lay on the grass.
"So what else is new?" He asked her as they swung their hands as they continued to walk. He hadn't seen her in two weeks after going to New York for an audition while she stayed in LA, working on her second album.
"Nothing much really. Just taking it slow this time with the album. I wanna write some stuff this time, you know?" She told him and he nodded understandingly.
"How's that going?" Zac looked at her.
"Well, I've written a few about some stuff that's happened in my life. And the producers said that Ne-yo wrote a song for me to sing. And I already know that, that'll be a good one. Remember the one he wrote for Corbin? My gosh I love that song." Vanessa smiled.
"Yeah. It is a good song." He agreed, letting out a sigh. "I miss hanging out with the guys."
"Yeah, I miss hanging out with everyone." Vanessa said. "We've all been crazy busy though."
"I know, but still, it kinda sucks that we all are."
"Well, we all are pursuing different careers. They may be similar, but they're all not exactly the same." Vanessa looked at him.
"Yeah, but it's good to be back home." He assured her.
"So do you think you got the part?"
"I don't know. There were a bunch of good guys there, so who knows. I'll just have to wait it out." He said and she nodded.
"Hey, maybe we could call up everyone and have a little get together!" She suddenly exclaimed. "A little reunion." She stated.
"Sounds good to me. It'll be good to catch up with everyone. I'm getting tired of just hanging out with you." He joked, causing her to gasp, and slap his chest.
"Ouch." He rubbed the spot she smacked. "I was just kidding. I love every moment with you." He embraced his arms around her and kissed her, which she returned. When they broke apart they just smiled at each other, enjoying the moment again. They were soon interrupted by her phone vibrating in the pocket of her jacket, causing Zac to jump a bit but he still held their embrace.
"Hello?" Vanessa answered, ignoring the screen as she was still in Zac's arms.
"Ness!" She heard a scream on the other end.
"Hey Ash! Oh my gosh, we were just talking about you and everyone else." Vanessa said excitedly.
"You're with Zac? Tell him I say Hey."
"Ash says hi." She told Zac, and he grinned.
"Hey Ash." Zac answered for him self into the phone since he was holding Vanessa anyways.
"So what's up? It's been so long!" Vanessa said.
"Tell me about it. It's been like what 4 months since I last saw you, and like 6 months since I last saw Zac. And who knows how long it's been since the gang was actually all together." Promoting the sequel didn't take up as much time as the first one did, and the tour followed after the release, so it had been a while since they had seen each other.
"I know what you mean." Vanessa nodded even though Ashley couldn't see her.
"But other than that, just been super busy. I actually had some extra time on my hand so I thought I'd try and catch up with you."
"Well, I've been good. I'm just trying to take it slow with the album and doing some auditioning. I'm out with Zac right now since he just got back last night from New York."
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, I didn't interrupt you guys did I?!" Ashley exclaimed.
"Ash, chill, it's fine. We were just talking about how we should have a little reunion with everyone since it's been so long. I was thinking about calling you later, but I guess you beat me to it." Vanessa giggled.
"Oh, okay. So, Zac went to New York without you, why?" Ashley questioned.
"Yeah. He went for an audition. Here, I'll put you on speaker so he can talk too." Vanessa said, before pulling the phone away from her ear and hitting the speaker button.
"So what did you audition for?" Ashley asked.
"A movie my agent thought I should audition for. It's an action film I think."
"That's cool. So where are you guys?" Ashley asked.
"The park by my place, just walking around." Vanessa answered.
"Yeah, surprisingly, there's no one else here."
"You guys need to let go of each other already." Ashley told them.
"How'd you know..." Vanessa began, but was cut off by Ashley.
"Maybe because I'm right here!" Ashley shouted as she hung up her phone. Vanessa and Zac turned their head to the side and saw Ashley close by.
"Oh my gosh!" Vanessa screamed and pulled away from Zac and ran over to her best friend as they hugged, squealing happily.
"Reunited." Zac simply said, chuckling as he made his way over to the screaming girls.
"Shut up Zac. You know you missed me too." Ashley laughed and gave him a hug.
"Yeah. It's good to see you too Ash." He smiled.
"I can't believe it. What are you doing here?" Vanessa asked.
"I have the day off. And I swung by your place but Stella said you were out. Oh my gosh! Did you know that there's a boy over at your house?!" Ashley suddenly exclaimed.
"Yeah." Vanessa laughed at her friend's reaction. "That's Daniel."
"Are they dating?!?" Ashley asked.
"I don't think so. They're just hanging out." Vanessa shook her head. "But it's obvious that they like each other, but they're too blind to see it. And I guess he hasn't made a move."
"Ah, I see. Sister like sister." Ashley commented.
"Hey! I wasn't blind.." Vanessa retorted.
"Whatever Ness. You didn't even know Zac was practically in love with you from day one." Ashley said.
"She's got a point." Zac laughed.
"Shut up. If I was blind then you were too." She stuck her tongue out at Zac.
"Very mature, babe." Zac continued to laugh. "And besides, I wasn't blind of the fact that I liked you. I just couldn't find the right time to tell you.
"Deal with it. I'm a kid at heart." Vanessa shrugged. "And so the night of my party was the right time?"
"Actually yes. I thought I pulled it off very romantically. With a few surprises here and there if I remember correctly, no one else knew I would confess my feelings for you on video and all that."
"True, but still..." Vanessa was cut off by Ashley.
"Whatever, I'm right. You're sister is just like you." Ashley laughed.
"Well, they make a cute couple at least." Vanessa said.
"And we don't?" Zac raised his eyebrows. "I thought we were considered to be the 'ideal couple' according to Popstar! Magazine and all those teen mags." Zac said playfully.
"Nope." Vanessa plainly said.
"Burn." Ashley laughed.
"Just kidding. It's not like we would actually know anyways. Plus I don't want people to have the exact same kind of relationship we have. That would just be weird." Vanessa scrunched her face up.
"Once again, like always; You're so weird." Zac told her.
"So what, you love me anyways." Vanessa grinned.
"That I do." Zac pecked her on the lips.
"Okay, yeah. I'm still here. Stop being so cute. It just makes me jealous." Ashley waved her hand at her friends.
"I thought you had Chris?" Vanessa asked, referring to the same Chris that Vanessa had introduced Ashley to at the tuxedo shop when they were shopping for her Debut. "How are things with you guys anyways since he moved?"
"Eh, well, New York is so far. But we're still going pretty strong for a long distance relationship. I just hate the fact that he got a job in New York, but I didn't want to hold him back."
"Well, I'm sure you guys will last. He's a good guy for you Ash." Zac encouraged her.
"Yeah. Chris is a good guy. He's trustworthy, so it's not like you have anything to worry about. Plus we practically hop back and forth across the country with our jobs. Especially to New York and LA. So that's a plus too." Vanessa smiled.
"Thanks for cheering me up guys." Ashley smiled. "That's true about jumping back and forth, though. I'm surprised we all don't have an apartment over there or something." Ashley commented and they all laughed.
"So what do you guys want to do?" Vanessa asked.
"How about we try and get a hold of everyone else since you were talking about that earlier. Plus Ash is already here." Zac suggested. The girls nodded, and the three started walking back towards Vanessa' s house to go and call the others.
So what did you guys think?! Do you guys like it?! LOL, well I'm still not sure about the title, it might change. Soo tell me what you guys think! REVIEW please! I love hearing what you guys have to say!
