Disclaimer: I don't own Zac
Over the next few days Zac kind of took a break from Sean and hung out with his family more instead, he also ran up his phone bill from his talks with Vanessa, just to hear her voice made it all the more better.
It wasn't until Tuesday that Sean called Zac looking for him and saying that he wanted to go see a movie with him. But right now Zac was wishing that he said no because yet again Sean left them in the middle of the movie, he got a call took it outside and never came back.
Samantha got up as the movie theater lit up again and so did Zac "Do you want to go get some coffee" Zac suggested hoping to cheer her up now because she was left again.
Samantha stood at the end of the seating aisle and smiled "yeah I could use some coffee"
"So why don't you just break up with him" Zac said taking a sip of his coffee as he sat down in the table that she had saved. She smiled taking her coffee from his hands "Aren't you supposed to be his best friend, you shouldn't be giving me this advice" she smirked as she blew the steam off of her coffee making little ripples cross over in the cup.
Zac watched her purse her lips together as she blew on it not answering her right away until she looked up and he looked away. Samantha slid off her coat "I've been thinking about it but I still want to try and make it work"
Zac looked away from the coffee counter and back to her "I think you should"
"I just don't know where he goes, it's getting ridiculous…" Samantha trailed off looking down at her coffee
Zac stared at her as she kept her eyes on her cup; her hair was down and again no glasses. He was starting to get the picture that she just dressed like that for work.
He watched as her eyes jumped back and forth implying that she was thinking about something, or she was just trying to avoid the watery tears "hey"
Zac said putting his hand on her arm making her jump "are you okay" She smiled up at him and he saw that her eyes were glazed over with what looked like the start of tears but she shook them off "I'm fine"
Zac retracted his hand as her mood lightened up she began to talk more making Zac feel a little bit more comfortable and a little less awkward
"We should go to the beach tomorrow" she suggested after an hour of talking and two coffee's later.
"Should I call Sean?" Zac asked throwing away both their coffee cups and sitting back down
Samantha didn't say anything at first because she couldn't believe what she was about to say, never once had she gone somewhere without Sean and she needed to change that.
"No" she said shaking her head and smiling "I need a day away from him"
"And a day with me?" Zac asked making her laugh "well your Sean's friend so I have to make an effort to hang out with you"
Zac stood up nodding "okay I'll pick you up then" Samantha stood up grabbing her coat and looking over at the clock on the wall "wow midnight already, I'm surprised they haven't kicked us out" she said looking around at the empty café.
The only living thing in the place with them was the cashier who was too busy popping her gum and flipping through Cosmo.
"Maybe because it's a 42/7 coffee shop" he said pointing to a sign on the door reading in big yellow neon letters Open 24/7!
"Oh" Samntha said cracking up from her stupidity, or maybe it was just tiredness. You know time really does fly when you're having fun.
He watched from his car as Samantha slid on her sunglasses then throwing her bag over her shoulder. Her flip-flops smacked against the pavement as she made her way down the walkway. Zac could see her hot pink bikini top through her white tank top and he couldn't help but laugh as she got inside "what's so funny" she asked out of breath from her brisk walk just 5 seconds ago
"Nothing" he said shaking his head as he put the car in drive and pulled out "Sean called me last night" Samantha said in an amused voice "well did you answer?" Zac asked as he took the turn on the road they had walked a week ago.
"Nope, I had something better to think about". Zac looked over at her after she said that a little confused by what she meant especially when she winked, even with her sunglasses on he could still see it.
Zac raised an eyebrow now knowing what she meant, maybe this wasn't a good idea after all. After a few seconds of silence Samantha busted out laughing placing her hand on his shoulder "I am kidding" she said as he laughed nervously "I knew that" he said trying to brush it off but she wasn't buying it
"Oh c'mon you totally believed me for a minute" she said controlling her laughter now, Zac nodded wanting to just drop it now "okay maybe I did" and with that the conversation was dropped.
During their 10 minute drive down the long strip of road that led them to the beach they sat in silence just listening to the radio. Samantha yawned still tired from the night before and because she woke up early to get ready for this day.
Zac pulled in to an open parking space and Samantha hopped out before the car was even off taking her bag with her. For a Wednesday morning it was a little crowded but not overly packed.
"Think you can handle these crowds?" she asked with a smile as she turned to him.
Zac locked his car and looked up at her, she had already taken her sunglasses off but he wanted to keep his own because it was his only disguise, I mean don't get him wrong he loved his fans but if their were any on this beach he wanted to stay incognito, hey he was on vacation too.
"Yeah I got it under control"
"Okay Hollywood" Samantha said with a wink as she stepped on to the sand, the pier just a short distance away but they kept their distance.
Samantha smiled as she felt the warm sand under her feet, she always love going to the beach, whether she went with someone or by herself she tried to go at least once a week. To her the seagull screeching and the kids crying were relaxing.
She dodged a few kids as they played football up by the parking lot and she jumped when she felt Zac put his hand on her back "so where would you prefer to sit?" he asked scanning the beach.
She looked up at him but then back down not wanting to stare; I mean she didn't wan to give off the impression of creepy or anything.
"Right there" she said pointing over to a spot close to the water but far enough where the tide couldn't reach them "okay" Zac said taking the bag off her shoulder
"I can carry it" she said looking over at him "I'm a big girl you know" she said making him chuckle
"Just trying to be nice" he said as he walked on ahead.
After they were settled Samantha kept on standing watching as a little girl ran away from the ways as they came up on shore "Ever thought about having kids?" she asked looking down at Zac who was pulling off his shirt. Samantha widened her eyes as he did so not really realizing that he had so much going on under his clothes.
Zac thought for a second "someday" he said simply looking over at the same little girl. When he looked up Samantha was pulling off her top. She was surprisingly tan and was toned too.
"Is something wrong?" she asked startling Zac as he looked away, crap she caught him.
When his head was turned Samantha laughed to herself, boys will be boys.
Luckily there was no lotion rubbing because Samantha was smart enough to do it before hand, yeah sure Zac was cute and all but who would want to be with someone who was always working, yuck.
For the most part of the day they either talked or sat in silence because Samantha was too busy thinking about Sean and same with Zac and Vanessa.
"So what do you plan on doing when you get back home?" Samantha asked as she laid down on her towel, she rested her hands on her stomach as she turned her head to face him.
He was still sitting up when he shrugged "work, new movie coming out" Samantha nodded bored from that conversation. She jumped up bringing sand along with her "want to go swimming?" she asked as she now slid down her shorts.
Zac just looked up at her "Am I speaking in Spanish…" she said laughing to herself until he finally nodded and stood up too.
She stopped just in time to feel the water and jumped back "Oh my god it's cold, I'm not going in"
"What do you mean; you're the one that wanted to go swimming"
"yeah that was before I felt the water, no I just want to go back and work on my tan" she started to back up but stop when she felt Zac grab her hand "c'mon your tan enough" he said pulling her closer
The sun was overhead now brining a glow to his face and she smiled feeling the warmth from his hand, wait what am I doing, just think Sean…Sean….Sean
She felt her feet touch the water again and she pulled her hand away "I'm not going in" she stubbornly crossed her arms over her chest as he laughed bending down close to the water
"Don't you dare" she said with a serious tone of voice as she shook her head, Zac had his hand in the water as it came back up on shore again "I'm serious" she said now pointing a finger to him
Zac smirked "well then get in"
"No" she said once more "You can not make me, I'm going back up to the nice dry, warm sand"
She started to back up, each foot sinking further in to the quick like sand, Zac jumped up and grabbed n to her hand pulling her back until they were inches away from each other "Oh your going in" he said with a smirk before he lifted her up.
She started to laugh as she tried to pull away but it was no use, already he was knee deep and ready to drop her. "Don't you dare" she said, her hands were resting on his shoulders as his wrapped around her waist.
He started to laugh as he nodded and before she knew it she was being thrown in.
