Chapter 1 (Around noon)
I walked to Rikki's cafe to see if Bella and Cleo were there, which of course they were, unfourtunetly Zane was there too. He has been bugging me ever since we broke up to get back together. I mean don't get me wrong I want to but he has messed up a lot. Of course the girls never wanted me to go out with him so they couldn't really help me think.
"Hey Rikki. Can we talk?" Zane said wearing the dopiest smile that i have ever seen a guy wear. I couldn't help but smile. That's what it's always like when I'm with Zane. Before I could say a word the girls were dragging me out of the cafe by my arms. I looked back to see Zane's annoyed and slightly hurt face. When I turned to the girls they were they were giving me that what are you thinking look.
"Don't you remember all the things he did and how you felt? Do you want to feel that way again?" Bella said as if she was trying to control my thoughts. That made me defensive and annoyed.
"What so you think it's going to happen again just because it's happened in the past?!" I yelled.
"No but we just want to look out for you." Cleo said in a caring tone. As always she was trying to make everything okay.
"If I want to go back out with Zane then it's my choice. I know you guys are trying to look out for me but I want this. I miss him and I can't picture myself dating anyone else. I want to give him one more chance and if it doesn't work out then I will never talk to him again just please don't get mad at me." I said. What i wasn't aware of was that Zane was right behind me. I only realized it when the girls tilted their heads in his direction. I turned around and saw his smirking face. God, he is so full of himself sometimes. "Girls can you give us a minute?" I said pleading with my eyes.
"Sure. Remember we're meeting up later at Will's. See you there at 3." Bella said. Of course we were going to Will's. He and Bella have become almost as inseparable as Cleo and Lewis. I turn back to Zane who was still smirking.
"So did you really mean all that?" he asked smugly.
"Wipe that smile off your face. You don't get off the hook that easily." I said.
"What do I have to do to make it up to you? I'll do anything." he begged.
I couldn't help but smile slyly and ask "Anything?"
He went from smirking to scared and cautiously said "Yes."
"Would you face both our dads?" Zane and my dad hadn't really gotten off on the right foot. After a misunderstanding involving Nate, Zane, and my dad's motorcycle I have been too scared to tell my dad about Zane. Which was probably a good idea considering all the fights we've gone through. His dad has just never liked me. Considering all this I thought it would be a deal breaker.
I was wrong because right away he said right away "Anything it takes to get you back." With that he took my hand and pulled me into a hug not wanting to rush thing, but I couldn't wait so I just looked up at his big brown eyes and kissed him. At first he was surprised but he didn't argue at all. When we finally broke the kiss I looked to see if I got any texts. When I saw the time it was 2:45. I still needed to go change my clothes, get lunch for everyone, and meet them at Will's. I was never going to make it in time.
"What's wrong?" Zane asked with worry in his beautiful brown eyes.
"Nothing I'm just going to be late. I'm meeting up with everybody." I said within seconds trying to get everything I had to say out.
"Oh, Mermaid Meeting. Mind if I come?" he whispered even though no one was around.
"Sure but you would have to get lunch for everyone, stop by my house so I can get changed, and head to Will's shack which reminds me no arguing with Will no matter what. He's my friend and to get on my good side it would help if you got on his." I said smiling hopefully. Will was my best guy friend and we hung out a lot which was one of the many reasons Zane and I broke up. I wanted Zane to come but I didn't want it to start something.
"I'll try anything to spend time with you. So give me their orders. I'll get lunch while you get changed and we'll meet up at Will's okay?" he asked with that smile that always made me smile.
"Great. Here's their orders but instead of meeting at Will's pick me up at my place when your done. Okay?" I asked. I think it'd be a better idea than having Zane be there before me and having a fight breaking out.
"Whatever you say. See you later." he said.
I smiled and took his arm and said "Ah ah, you're forgetting something."
"And what would that be?"
"This." After I said that I pulled him in for another kiss. This one didn't last as long because we were both in a hurry. After that I had walked home smiling the whole way there. That was until I walked in and saw HER there.
