The elevator door dinged, making me jump. Zack chuckled and took my hand, leading me down the hallway. "Now where are we going?" He

ignored me and just kept on walking down the hallway. We came to the door at the end and he swiped the key card, and the door opened. He

yanked me through the door quickly and shut the door behind me quietly. He pushed me up against the door and kissed me. I squeaked out of

surprised, but then soon started kissing him back. He pulled away, "That was for in the elevator." I looked confused and he grinned. He leaned

down again and kissed me, pushing me flat against the door. He took my hands over my head and started kissing my neck. My fingers

intertwined with his and I moaned, closing my eyes. He abruptly stopped and pulled me into the room, over to the bed. I looked at him,

bewildered. He sat down on the bed and I sat beside him. He looked down at me and said, "Stevie, I like you as more than a friend." I scoffed,

"Obviously." He chuckled and looked down at his hands in his lap. "Yeah, sorry about that. We were so close in the elevator, and I was going

to kiss you but the doors opened to soon…" I scooted closer to him and put my hands on his. "Don't be sorry, Zack." His head shot up and he

looked at me, confused. "I knew there was something strange about Cody after I started dating him, and when we fought a lot, you were

always there for me. Then I realized that I liked you…" I hung my head in shame, "I couldn't tell you because I was dating Cody and I didn't

know how to break up with him without losing both of you." He took my chin and pulled me into a gentle kiss. When we broke apart he said,

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to say that." He looked down at me adoringly and I smiled up at him. He picked me up

and sat me on his lap. He pulled my hair the one side and began kissing my exposed neck. I closed my eyes and leaned into him. I closed my

mouth, trying not to moan. He nibbled and sucked my earlobe, "I love you, Stevie," I grinned happily, "I love you too, Zack." He stopped and I

opened my eyes. He was looking at me so seriously. "Really?" he asked. "Yes," I replied. I unwrapped my arms from around him and stood up.

I sat back down, straddling a confused-looking Zack. "I always have." I said and leaned into him. He opened his mouth and his tongue licked

my lips. I got the message and opened my mouth as well, and his tongue darted in. He started exploring my mouth but I moved my tongue

and stopped him. Then our tongues started a relentless battle of no winners. One hand gripped my bare back and the other was in my hair.

My hands slid down his back and under his shirt. They then began back up under, feeling all of his muscles along the way. When I got to his

neck he lifted his hands up and I pulled his shirt off of him. Before he could kiss me again I leaned back and looked at his chiseled body. He

looked down at himself, self-consciously and back up to me, with a worried look on his face. I smiled at him reassuringly and began nipping

and kissing his neck. He pulled me closer and started grabbing my size 36C breasts through my dress. I put my hands in his hair and began

lightly tugging, and he groaned. I smiled and it just made me want to do it more, so I did. I did it a few more time and he grabbed my wrists

and put them behind my back, breaking the kiss. "If you keep doing that then I will get you back." He said sternly. I gave him a defiant look,

"Oh yeah? How?" He gave me a devilish grin and let go of my hands, picking me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist so I wouldn't fall, and

he turned me around and laid me on the bed. He leaned over me and his hands went to the tie for the dress at the back of my neck. He slowly

untied it and pulled the dress down, exposing my naked breasts. Now it was my turn to look down at myself self-consciously. I looked at them

then at him, and crossed my arms across my chest, "Don't look at me. I'm hideous." Zack tried to unfurl my arms, but failed, "No don't." He said

soothingly. "Why?" I practically yelled with tears streaming down my face, "So you can take one look at them and go hurl your guts out like

your brother!" I yelled accusingly. I swung my arms wide, exposing my breasts once more. "Fine, go ahead." I yelled again, my face tear-

strewn and red. Zack looked hurt. He grabbed my hands and pulled them flat to his chest. He then laid down on his elbows and twirled my hair

in his fingers. "You really think I think you're hideous?" He paused, waiting for me to reply. When I didn't he went on, "I think you're beautiful,

and I wouldn't change a thing about you." He kissed me gently on the forehead, then the nose, then my cheeks, and finally my mouth. He held

me with tenderness, and caressed me oh so gently. I broke the kiss and the look in his eyes assured me that he was sincere. He smiled down

at me and I smiled back. I knew in my heart that this was right. This is the one who loved and adored me more than anyone. This is the man I

belonged with; Zack, who was there all along, but always in the background. But now he was going to be my Zack, and nothing was going to

stop me now. I was determined. He was going to be mine. I whispered, "Get up for a sec. I need you to help me with something." He looked

confused but obeyed.
