Hi guys, no I haven't forgotten about you. I've just been super slam packed with a bunch of things the past couple of weekends. Anyway I got requests to add more to this one so here you go :)
Now, I don't think I've gotten to how we met in the first place have I? Well it all started on a sunny day...
I was taking pictures for my portfolio so I could put it together and go get a job, I was following the action by not just panning but actually walking with my subject. I was walking forward and Zak; walking backwards doing a intro for an episode ran into me, but neither Nick or Aaron knew I was behind Zak or they would have warned me.. Us..
I fell backwards on my butt, I used my free hand to catch myself and hurt it in the process, my brand new iPhone flew out of my pocket and shattered to pieces everywhere if not just the screen but the whole phone. Thankfully my camera and stuff was okay. Zak tumbled forward, but caught himself and turned around to see me on the ground.
"You asshole!" I screamed at him, mad and in pain.
"I'm so sorry!" Zak said and ran over to help me up and Nick grabbed my phone.
"You better be!" I yelled at him, before realizing who I was yelling at.
"I am!" Zak said.
"Woah... You're Zak Bagans! I'm sorry I called you an asshole, I didn't mean it!" I said realizing now.
"You're fine. Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He asked helping me up.
"I think so, other than my wrist might not be." I said checking my camera and I felt my pockets for my phone.
Nick saw I was looking for my phone and came over to hand it to me.
"I think this yours." He said handing it over and backing away.
"Thanks. Oh no!" I said.
"I'll buy you a new one." Zak said immediately after he saw what happened.
"Oh you don't have to, I'll deal with it." I said trying to turn it on and it wouldn't.
"If you think something's wrong with your wrist, we better go check it out." Aaron said shutting off both cameras and all the gear.
"Good idea Aaron. I'll take her to the ER and you guys can go get something to eat, we will meet up later." Zak said taking my phone and camera bag from me and taking me to a cab.
"Oh Zak seriously, I'm fine!" I said as we waited for a cab.
"I don't want to risk it, especially if there may be parents involved in a possible lawsuit." Zak said as a cab pulled up and he opened the door and waited for me to get in.
I shook my head. "Fine." And I got in the cab then he slid in.
"Where too?" The cab driver asked.
"The nearest hospital please." Zak said setting my stuff down.
The cab driver drove us to Valley-View Memorial Hospital. We pulled up and being as smart as I was I tried to open my door with my fractured wrist, and I screamed in pain.
"See, this is why we are here." Zak said getting out and opening my door for me, helping me out.
"Shut up." I said under my breath of pain.
He laughed, "Just let's get it looked at and over with, you'll be fine."
He lead us in, we checked in, waited and they called us back. They took X-rays and came back, I had a fractured wrist and they put me in a brace. Told me to keep it on for about a month and a half.
"See? That wasn't so bad. Now where are you staying?" Zak asked.
"I'm staying at the Western Inn. Third level room 45." I said.
"No way! That's where I am staying at same level but room 44." Zak said.
"You're kidding! I've been here for a day, and my room is next to the Zak Bagans' room?!" I said gushing.
"Woah, are you fangirling?" He asked laughing.
"No!" I said blushing because I kinda was.
We took another cab to the hotel and went up to my room, I did a thorough check through of my camera bag. When I was absolutely positive I had everything but a phone I went over to thank Zak for everything and to let him get back to the show.
"Hey." He said as he saw me approach.
"Hey, so I wanted to thank you for taking care of me and if you'll give me back my phone I'll take care if it." I said
"No problem, but actually I'm having Nick and Aaron get you a phone." Zak said.
I shook my head. Like seriously! This guy is just being too nice! Either he likes me or feels bad about what he did...
"Well thanks... Zak." I said looking up into his eyes, I couldn't tell if they were a blue or a brown because of his sunglasses he was still wearing.
"You're welcome. Now remember what the doctor said about this." He said tapping my brace.
"Yeah I know, keep it on for a month and a half, having a check up with my regular doctor here and there." I said.
He laughed, "I'll bring over your phone when I have it set up. In the meantime do you have like an iPod with a texting app?"
"Actually, yea I do." I said as we both pulled out our technology.
"Okay what's the number, and I'll text you." He said.
I gave him my number and the number I wanted to my phone, and info.
"Thanks again." I said leaning against the frame of my open room. Zak in the hall.
"Of course. Anything for a beautiful young lady like you." He said.
And we hesitated for a minute, not knowing what to do.
"Well, I'm gonna go take a painkiller and maybe get something to eat." I said putting my hand on the door to close it.
Then something weird happened, Zak kissed me. Out of the blue straight up kissed me.
After he stopped and broke away I let go of the door and let it fling shut, right in Zak's face. I stood in my room shocked, I didn't know if Zak was still on the other side until he knocked letting me know he was.
I ripped open the door and there he was.
"I'm sorry. I have no clue what came over me like that. I'm just like drawn to you." He said apologetically.
"You're fine!" I said smiling to give him a little bit of relief.
He smiled, "Well I'm going to let you go, unless you'd like to get something to eat with me."
I looked at him, his sunglasses were off now, and I could see his eyes, brilliant blue eyes. He had blue eyes.
"I'll go, if you buy." I said.
"Okay, deal." He said, and he took me to lunch. We talked, had a few laughs, and ate.
After we were done, he invited me to the lockdown.
"I don't know if I'm up to that. Would you make me go alone and do a EVP session?" I asked gulping.
"I wouldn't make you if you didn't want too. I'm not careless!" Zak said.
"I never said you were. I just wouldn't go alone, I'd make you at least go with me, but don't get me wrong I would do it alone, but I would want you or Nick or Aaron to film me.." I said explaining more as we were walking out of the diner.
"Ah, I see. So you're afraid and not afraid." He asked taking my hand, moving through bases only on the first day.
"Yeah.. Exactly." I said gripping his hand then pulling away, letting him know I'm interested but not quite yet.
"I'm sorry. I'm just like drawn to you. I don't mean to move fast, but I know I was meant to meet you." Zak said apologizing.
"You're totally fine! I feel the same and I have no clue why." I said as we walked back to our rooms.
Then Nick called him, demanding to know where he was.
"I'm with her still. Yes I'll be there in a minute. Bye." Zak said into his phone to Nick as we were standing next to my room.
"You'd better get going. Just like text me. You know where I am. Maybe I'll do the lockdown, I don't know still. But go." I said unlocking the door.
"Okay, I'll text you. I'll buy you a phone too, and come over later." He said taking my hands.
"Seriously Zak, you're pushing it just a little. We just met!" I said.
"I know! Okay I'm going, but after this!" He said then kissed me.
After Zak left, I decided to take a painkiller then take a nap. The pain killer must have totally knocked me out, because when I woke up, it was dark out. I sat up and checked my iPod. I had a text from my mom, but nothing from Zak. I got up and got a drink of water then laid back down. Then a few minutes after that I heard knocking on my door.
I sat up, "who is it?" I asked tiredly.
"I think you know." He said.
I got up and opened the door, I smiled, tiredly.
"This belongs to you." He said, handing me my iPhone.
"Thank you." I said taking it back.
"I took the liberty of adding my number in as well as your other contacts." He said shrugging.
"Thanks? I think." I said and let him in.
He sat on the lousy couch there was in the room and I came back from putting my iPod away with my snuggie, phone and a tv remote.
"Did I interrupt something?" He asked seeing me.
"No, just me sleeping." I said, "why?"
"Oh. I'm sorry I woke you." He said getting up to leave.
"No no you're totally fine!" I said stopping him.
We exchanged a few looks before he sat back down on the couch, then I followed suit after.
"So this lockdown we are doing, do you want to do it with us?" He asked curious.
I looked at him. "Maybe. I want too, but like I said I will not go alone in a room, I'll be with you or Nick. But when I'm around no calling out spirits okay?"
He laughed, "Okay, deal. I'll pick you up on Friday."
"Wait, is that all you came over for? Besides my phone too?" I asked not wanting him to leave.
"My intentions yes, but if you want me to stay I will. I shouldn't but I will." He said.
So he stayed with me, we held hands and watched a show on tv. He left when I crashed out, he carried me to my bed, made sure I was warm in my snuggie, and he wrote a note to me, left it on the pillow opposite of mine.
It said;
You crashed out, I turned everything off, and took you to bed. Can't wait for Friday... -Zak
I read it when I woke up, and rolled over on it.
"Awe, he's sweet." I said to myself, then I checked my phone. Zak had setup everything for me except for iTunes and stuff. And he really did put his number in my phone!
Then I got up to finish my photo-shoot session. I showered and dressed, did my makeup and went to get my gear, my purse and headed out. I decided to grab a breakfast sandwich from a Starbucks nearby and then get to work.
As I was photographing people, flowers, etc. I got an idea. I whipped out my phone and texted Zak.
"Hey, I want to do a photo-shoot of the GAC, if you'll let me." I sent.
"Sure! We really need a photographer too, so it'd be great if you could do that for us." He sent.
"I'd love to do that! When do you want to do a shoot?" I asked.
"Today or just before our lockdown, preferably today." He said.
I got tired of texting him and I just straight up and called.
"Hi. So I can do a shoot right now you'd just have to come and get me." I said.
"Okay, why don't you just walk on over? We're all here." He said.
"I'm not in my room, that's why I called or I would have headed over." I said, slipping my camera in my bag and securing it up.
"I see. Well, you come back to my room and we need to talk about it all together." He said, hinting.
"Okay, I'll be right over." I said and hung up and literally ran back to the hotel, I caught my breath in the elevator and knocked lightly on his door.
Aaron let me in and went to sit back down with Nick and Billy.
"Hey Zak! She's here!" Nick called to Zak as we waited.
He came back, hair freshly done.
"Hey." He said to me, I nodded back.
"Okay, guys. We can do our location photos now. I found us a photographer, and she wants to be the official GAC Photographer." Zak said.
"That's cool." Aaron said.
"Finally!" Nick said.
So I did a photoshoot of them and did a lockdown. I didn't like it, but I survived.
"Lock down time!" Zak said as we starting filming. "Viewers at home, we'd like to welcome aboard another member of the Ghost Adventures Crew. This is our official professional photographer, Lulu. And tonight she has agreed to do her first ever lockdown with us."
Then Nick flashed over to me, as I walked to be with Zak. Aaron stayed filming on Zak.
Then we grabbed the gear and headed in the location.
A few hours after we got locked down and were investigating, we were getting good stuff too. I started to feel weird, like not myself. It wasn't a bad thing it was a good thing. A good spirit leading me where it needed to be heard.
"Zak, you guys, I have a feeling we need to go over here." I said feeling drawn to a room.
They didn't listen, they were too busy doing an EVP session in the wrong room. So I wandered off into this room, and started to ask a bunch of questions on a digital recorder, so EVP's.
"Lulu?! Where are you?!" Zak was yelling for me.
"I'm in here!" I yelled back.
"Why in here?" Nick asked.
"I'm like drawn to here. I don't exactly know why." I said.
"Just go with the flow. Aaron, give her the Ovilus, let's see what we can get." Zak said.
"Okay." Aaron said and handed me the Ovilus, almost immediately it started talking.
Then after that nothing, we walked around everywhere, nothing.
"Okay, Nick hand me your camera, you and Aaron go to the basement, Lulu and I are going to the second floor. On your talkie we are on channel 2, call if you need anything." Zak said and we all agreed and broke off.
On the way up to the second floor Zak and I started talking.
"Do you feel okay to do a EVP session, since earlier you were getting good stuff?" He asked.
"Yeah, as long as you stay with me." I said.
"I wasn't planning on going anywhere." He said.
So we did that, then finished up the lockdown.
From then on, I became the official GAC photographer, and of course the actual girlfriend to Zak himself. That's how we met and started off.
Now back to the present.
"What do you want to do today?" Zak asked me.
"I want to get out and go walk the strip, if that's okay." I said.
"That's fine, it sounds like fun." He said and got up, so we could both get dressed decently. Instead of me in one of his shirts and him in a pair of pj pants and a tee.
We got dressed and headed out in the Challenger. He lived literally not even four blocks away from the strip. We could have walked!
My favorite places to go are the M&M factory, the Coca-Cola factory, the Excalibur hotel, Luxor hotel... A lot! He took me to the M&M factory first and bought me a little bag of M&M's. Then a coke and a build your own charm bracelet from the coca cola factory. He made the charm bracelet, it consisted of a coke bottle charm, then a lid, the polar bear, a heart, and the logo.
Then we ran over to the hotels, we visited the gift shops, trying on hats and glasses, goofy things and taking selfies on each other's phones. He liked the one we took of us with some silly hats and sunglasses kissing. I liked it too, and made him send it to me.
After that we walked outside and talked, then we decided to go feed Gracie, take her for a walk and get food.
"I'm thinking about going hiking later." Zak said dishing Gracie a dish of food and I was getting water.
"Really? Sounds fun." I said, setting down Gracie's water.
"Do you want to go with me?" He asked, patting Gracie's head and stood up to face me. Putting an arm around my waist and pulling me closer, and closer..
"Uh.. Sure, as long as I can take a camera." I said grinning with a shitty grin, then he kissed me.
"Of course." He said after. Then he pulled me back to the patio.
I took off my shoes, socks and rolled up my jeans, then sat on the edge of his pool with my feet in the water. Then I pulled off my shirt so I was just wearing my tank top.
Zak came up behind me, and kissed my bare shoulder, and pulled my hair to my back and pushed it off to the side and kissed my neck. Then he pulled off his shirt and pants and jumped in the pool, splashing water all over me getting me wet.
"Zak! What the hell?!" I yelled at him after he came back to the surface and swam over to me. Then he pulled me in the water with him. With my clothes on.
"Come for a swim." He said laughing at me.
"No! I don't want to swim, thank you!" I said and started to swim over to the stairs to get out, then he grabbed me by the waist and we fell into the water, he kissed me underwater. It was romantic with the bubbles and the lights he had lighting the pool...
"Are you sure you want to leave now?" He asked me as we went over to the waterfall part.
"No." I said shivered a bit from the light breeze.
He saw me shiver and he wrapped his arms around me.
"It might help to take off your tank top and pants, honey." He said, hinting to my clothes.
"Oh you're funny, if these clothes are coming off its to take a hot shower and get into dry clothes." I said.
"Then do it." He said letting me go. And going for another dive.
"I will if you join me." I said with a wink.
Then he swam over to me, stood and threw me over his shoulder and took off into the house.
He started the water after setting me down on the sink counter. And he came over and closed the door and turned to me and started to kiss me while dimming the lights in the restroom, then the next thing I knew my tank and bra was off, then my pants...
Then we were in the shower, no talk, just kissing, and the hot water. Then I flipped the plug on the drain to stop it from draining and let the tub part of the shower fill up and then we sat down in the water kissing. Then we shut off the water and sat there, he had his arm around me and was playing footsie with my foot in the water.
"We'd probably get ready to go hiking before it gets dark." He said looking at his watch on the floor.
"Awe, but I like this." I said sighing.
"After we go hiking we can resume this if you want." He said.
"Okay." I said my eyes lighting up, and an idea brewing in my head.
So we got dried and dressed, then he packed a backpack with snacks and water and stuff to go hiking, while I leashed up Gracie and grabbed keys to a car. We met up in the kitchen and we kissed then he slung the bag on and took my free hand and we jumped in the the Challenger.
"Man! It's soo beautiful here!" I exclaimed and taking a picture with my little compact Canon camera.
"I know right?! And very peaceful." He said next to me.
"Take a selfie with me, when the sun is setting?" I asked him.
"Sure. Then we have to go, so we don't get lost." He said.
We took selfies and then headed back down the trail. Gracie leading the way.. I tripped once or twice, the third time I tripped I twisted my ankle and we had to go slower because of me.
When we got to a road the car was still like 2 miles away and I could not walk anymore.
"Zak, I can't go anymore, my ankle hurts too much. It feels like it's swollen." I said.
"Okay, sweetie. Let me look for that rock so you can sit while I go get the car." He said and found the rock, I sat down. He handed me a flashlight and Gracie's leash. Then he took off to get the car.
I sat and waited for like 5 minutes and then I heard rustling in the brush and I flipped on my flashlight and flashed it to the noise. Gracie didn't react to the noise, at all.
"Who's there?" I asked scanning the brush.
Then Zak pulled up, I jumped up and opened the door to the passenger side let Gracie in then jumped in. As he turned on his brights I saw a coyote.
"Oh my god!" I said.
"What? It's just a coyote." He said taking my hand.
"I know, but it growled at me as I was waiting for you." I said.
"Well you're fine now." He said, "Now we can finish what we started at the house."
"After we look at my ankle." I said crossing my legs so I could see it with the light of Zak's phone.
After my ankle was taken care of, I dressed in my lace short shorts and tank top, then headed into the bedroom where Zak was waiting for me.
"Wow! I've never seen those before!" He said when he saw me.
"I know. I was saving them for a special night." I said climbing on the bed and sitting on his legs under the covers.
"Oh. And that's tonight?" He asked.
"Well, sort of." I said.
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I can't see myself anywhere but here with you or traveling on ghost hunts. I'm totally crazy in love with you."I started, "I want to marry you, I'm willing to have kids with you. That is if you want them. I'm ready.. I'm ready to commit myself to you. I want to tie myself to you every humanly way possible. Then spend whatever it is after this life with you. I can't spend more than a week away from you. I'm tied to you. We have done things together that we can't really give back.. I'm yours, Zachary Alexander Bagans."
"I'm glad. Because I feel exactly the same for you. And it's a good thing I've had this ready for a while, I was just waiting for the right time. And obviously that time is now." He said reaching over to his nightstand and pulling out a little black satin box and gave it to me.
