Chapter 6- Perfection

For the first time since my childhood, I can finally say that I'm happy and not lie to myself. Every problem have been lifted from my shoulders and it's all thanks to one person.

It's been two weeks since that day, and me and Zoey couldn't be any happier. We've been taking it slow since then going on small dates every now and then, and when we do anything physical it's usually just holding hands and hugging. I introduced her to my mom and they simply just hit it off and that made me even happier knowing the two women in my life can keep ea h other company without me. Although there times where she becomes the typical embarssing mom like usual.

"And here are some of Mike's baby pictures." My mom had said pulling out some old blue albums with a carriage on it.

"Oh, I don't think she needs to see those." I objected to viewing the pictures remembering a story behind one of them.

"Awww! He's adorable as a baby. Wait, why is he crying in this one?" Zoey had asked pointing to one of me in the bath tub crying and looking down at my crotch.

"Oh, no." I slid down the couch in embarressment knowing what my mother was going to say.

"Oh my, that one is my favorite. Mike was one at the time and took his first bath in the bathtub. He was so happy playing with all of his toys laying around him, until he saw his uhhhh 'thing' and it frightened him and he started crying. I had to comfort him and wrap him in a towel and make sure he didn't look down at it again."

"Oh my god. That is too adorable." Zoey had told her and poking me at the same time. They started laughing and giggling while I sat there crossarmed giving my mother the death stare.

"Oh ha ha. How was I supposed to know what it was. It looked like a snake or a sea monster or something!" I tried to explain how my baby mind worked at the time.

That was only the first time I brought Zoey to my house, you can only imagine how the other times went. Other than my outside life going smoothly, my school life was going better than expected.

Svetlana, my counsler, was actually able to make me and Vito back off from each other and form a mutual agreement to not go after each other, unless one of us makes the first moves. Vito backed off and so did I. She's good. Sam and Cameron were the same as usual, not that I want them to change. I also was able to introduce them to Zoey.

"So here she is, my uhhh...girl...girl..." I was too excited to show off Zoey to the others, I began to stutter.

"His Girlfriend, nice to meet you two." She had finished my sentence for me and shaked the hands of both of them before grasping to on to my hand and keeping close to me.

"Wow, Mike she is just how you described her. It's finally nice ro meet you. I'm Cameron and this Sam." Cameron introduced himself and Sam. For once Sam face wasn't looking down at his handheld but he just continued to stare at Zoey rubbing his chin.

"Hmmm, you look fimiliar." Sam stated still rubbing his chin.

"Sorry, I don't beleive i've seen you before today." Zoey said to Sam.

"Stacey!" Sam shouted at her.

"Uh, no my name is Zoey." She corrected.

"No, you look like Stacey from Dead Rising 2. Haha. Crazy considence man." Sam had said.

"Heh, I guess that makes you my Chuck then." She had said hugging me tightly and giggling. My face was red. It always happens when Zoey latches on to me and looks at me with those beautiful brown eyes.

"You've played that game before?" Sam had asked Zoey in surprise.

"Of course, it has to be my favorite one in the franchise, although it's not as challenging as the first one, but technically the first one is kinda easy once you get the mega buster and laser sword." She had answered and made Sam look at her in amazement.

"Wow, I didn't think girls like you would know so much about Video Games." Sam had said to her.

"Guess, I'm just different." She had told him.

"I like different." I had told her clentching on to her hand tighter. We both smiled at each other. The next couple hours consisted of the four of us talking about playing games at my house and talking about our favorite things. Zoey had easily outsmarted Cameron on one of his favorite Anime's "Attack on Titan". After hanging out for awhile Cameron and Sam were getting ready to leave. They pulled me aside away from Zoey before they did.

"Dude she's like the ultimate dream girl, hot, smart, and nerdy, how did you find her?" Sam had asked whispering in my ear.

"I guess it was just chance." I had told the both of them.

"I like her. She could hang out with us anytime." Sam had said approving of Zoey.

"Me too. Anyone who enjoys Attack on Titan just as much as me is awesome in my books." Cameron had aprroved as well.

"Well, I appreciate it you guys." I had told them.

Things were looking good, I mean besides work, which was still horrible with Mal around, but hey with the other two going smoothly how could I complain.

"Hurry, run Prancer before your late to deliver the gifts for the good boys and girls this christmas!" Mal had mocked me as I was hurring into work putting on my apron and Antlers that all the Buspeople and waitors had to wear during christmas.

"Shut up. Your lucky all you do is stand there and pretend to care about the customers." I had told him.

"Whatever dork, saves me from wearing those things on my head. I'd rather wear the santa hat than those stupid things on my head." He told me.

After about two hours, I was on break, I sat in the back of the resturant, where no one was because it was slow. I realised I forgot to pack lunch and had no money to buy something so I sat there starving until looking at my phone.

"Ah, iFunny you never cease to disappoint." I had said chuckling to myself continuing to browse the app.

"This seat taken?" I familiar voice calles out. Zoey was standing there with a bag in her hands with my name on it.

"Hey! You're here and you saved me from starving to death too." I had told her.

"Ya, your Mom told me you forgot your lunch, so I decided to bring it too you while you were on break." She had explained to me.

"Well, arnt you the best."

"I know." She had told me.

We sat together and eat and talked about how our day was going. It was so happily ruined by Mal when he came.

"Move it peon, people wanna sit here, plus your breaks over anyway." He had told me.

"Hmm, you must be the infamous Mal i've been hearing about." Zoey had asked Mal.

"In the flesh sweetheart, what about it?" Mal had asked back.

"Well, maybe you can be nicer to Mike and not cause dangerous accidents that I have to patch up when he gets off of work" Zoey had stood up and poked Mal's chest very angrily. He stood ther looking down with bland emotion on his face like usual. He then began to bust out in laughter and wipe tears from his eyes.

"Hahaha, Wow Mike you packed yourself a joker there, oh man that was a good one. She really thinks i'm gonna stop. Hahaha. But, seriously leave these idiots wanna sit here and the're already complaining."

"Ok fine then! I'll see you later." Zoey had said kissing me on the cheek before leaving. I took off and continued the rest of my hours.

Hell she even made Mal laugh. I'm a not telling yous she is amazing one in a million. Things were going so perfect. Until I asked a question that would soon break this perfect bond.
