Zak was packing his clothes ready to fly himself across the country to the next live show of WWE's Monday Night Raw. Gracie, his dog sat on his bed staring at his master as Zak go around the room grabbing everything he needs like a mad man. He cursed as his doorbell goes off. He really needs to pack his things and can't afford to get distracted considering that his flight is in an hour. He wasn't able to pack his clothes for he just got home from a lockdown. He curses nonstop as he makes his way towards his front door.

"Gracie don't eat my sandwich!" he yells over his shoulder and opening the door at the same time. He turned towards the person on the door and everything stopped.

He was staring at the brown eyes that he happens to know so well. The ones that belonged to Brianna Garcia.

"What….How…." He was at lost for words. His mind just shut down the moment he realized who it was on the door.

"I missed you." Was all she said when she threw her arms around his shoulders and pressed her lips on his.

"I'm sorry I chickened out and left you. I haven't been exactly myself lately with Randy showing up again and all." She said so fast the moment she pulled away. It was as if every second counts.

"Brie, I-" Zak started but he was cut out.

"I'm sorry I've let my past come between us. I'm sorry that I've let you suffer because of it. I'm sorry that I haven't really told you what went on between me and Randy but if you want to know…"

Zak put his finger on her lips.

"Brie, I know." He said. "And there's nothing to worry about." He puts a hand on her cheek.

"I didn't know what to do. I was so fucked up after me and him were over." Brie said now crying.

"I know. Come on in first." He said taking her hand and pulling her into the house. He guided her to the kitchen and let her seat on a barstool in front of the granite counter. He fetched her a glass of water.

"Here drink this first. I won't understand anything your saying if you're choking it up." He smiles and Brie managed to smile back.

"I was so stupid to go when you told me to go when I should have fought to stay." She said more calmly now as she handed him back the glass of water.

"Brie, you needed time and I gave you that because I care for you so much." Zak says placing the water beside Brie.

"I missed you so much though." He said taking her in his arms hugging her. Brie hugged him back. This was the safest place she has ever been in for a long time, in his arms.

"How did you know?" Brie said looking at him. Zak moved back but she was still in his arms.

"What?" he looks down at her beautiful face.

"How did you know about me and Randy?" she asks

"Aaron." Zak says.

Brie nodded. "I am very thankful for him and Kelly. If they weren't there for me, I don't know where I would have gone." She said

"I'm here now. Always. For you." He says. "I promise you that you will never go through anything like that ever again."

"I was about to have a baby." She mumbled into his shirt.

"I know. I'm sorry about that." Zak kisses the top of her head.

Brie pulled away and wiped the tears of her eyes. "Enough with the sorry. All of these are in my past. They're gone now. There's nothing that we can do about it and that was my mistake." Brie looked up at the man who she had been thinking for the past weeks.

"I'm here because I want to be with you. I'm here because I am ready now." She says.

"I am ready to have a future with you. I love you Zak." She finally said it.

Zak took her face and kissed her. She finally said it. The only thing that Zak was certain that she felt for him but was never ready to say.

She kissed him back with as much passion as this man was giving her. She kissed him as if it could erase everything that she has put the man through. She could finally say the words that she thought she would never feel again.

He lifted her up until she was sitting on the counter. Her arms went around his neck as her hand found his hair. She could smell the strong scent of his musk perfume. She missed this. His smell. His body.

"I love you." He said panting with his lips against hers. "I love you too." She said resting her forehead against his.

She jumped off the counter and took his hand and led him to the bedroom. She dropped his hand when they entered the bedroom. She looked around and found that things were kind of all over the place. It's not like it was always neat the last time she was here but there was an open suitcase on the bed and clothes were piled on top of it unfolded.

"Yeah, I was about to come and see you." He shrugged when she turned around and gave him a questioning stare.

"You sweet person." She took his hands and wrapped it around her waist as she placed her arms around his shoulders. She smiled looking up at him.

"I can't believe you're here instead." He kisses her forehead. Brie smiles up at him and started trailing her fingers down his body and under his shirt. Zak raises his eyebrows at her.

"Hold on." He walks over to the bed and moves his suitcase off the bed. He walks back to her and took her hand and led her to the bed. He sat down at the edge and pulled her between his legs.

She puts her arms around his shoulders and smiles down at his before kissing him hard. Her hands roaming wherever it wants to go.

Brie puts her hands in his hair and tugs it so his head leans back. Zak smile through hooded eyes. He did miss all these even this.

"Do you know how much you make me go crazy?" Brie whispers on his lips.

"Maybe I should be the one to tell you that." Zak said before kissing her and drops back on the bed pulling her on top of him. She squeals struggling to straddle his hip.

She entwined her fingers with his and pulled both of his hands on top of his head. She smiles mischievously down at him.

"You better be ready cause this is gonna be a long night." She warns.

Brie woke up with Zak's arm laid limply across her waist and it has been a long time since she woke up this way and damn, she missed it. She slowly turned in his embrace to face him. He was beautiful and so peaceful in his sleep. He's pale and he looks okay with it. Maybe, she could talk to him in getting a tan real soon.

He was sleeping on his stomach and his head turned her way. His strong back shown as the blanket and comforter scrunched up on his waist, damn she has a hot boyfriend. If they were on that level now. Brie smiled at the sight.

She lifts her hand to run her fingers through his unruly hair considering their activities the night before, she bit her lip to keep her from giggling. He stirred a little at the gesture but still remained sleeping. She kissed his shoulder before moving his arm and got out of bed.

She sat on the side of the bed and looked around. She found Zak's black v-neck shirt on the floor and grabbed it to put it on. She stood up and made her way towards the door to make some coffee. She wasn't really paying attention which caused her to jump when she almost tripped over Gracie. She was sitting by the door.

"How long have you been there sweetie?" she crouched down to the dog's height and rubbed her neck. "You're probably hungry huh?" she stood up and walked down the flight of stairs and towards the kitchen and the dog followed her with a wagging tail knowing that she's getting a treat.

"Where does he put it?" Brie murmured as she rummaged through the kitchen cabinets for some dog food. "There it is." She said when she finally found it.

She fed Gracie as she finished her cup of coffee.

"I'll go take a shower. You hang around for a bit alright?" she told her and patted her head as she passed the dog.

She went into Zak's bed room and he was still sleeping. She shook her head and made her way to the bathroom. She shrugged the shirt she was wearing along the way and dropped it in the hamper with used clothes. She turned the water on waiting for it to get warm and when it did she jumped in.

She grabbed a wash cloth scrubbing her stomach when a pair of arms encircled her waist. She jumped and dropped the washcloth.

"What the hell!" she whipped around slapping Zak on the arm. "Stop sneaking up on me!" she said as Zak laughed and kissed her.

"Goodmorning." He says as she melt into his kiss instantly forgetting what he did.

"Don't do that again." She pouted up at him.

"I can't promise. You look hot all wet." He smirks down at her.

"Only because I'm not wearing anything." She smirks back at him.

"Maybe." He shrugged one shoulder. "Or maybe I hadn't had enough." He says lightly pushing her against the wall of the shower space.

"You very naughty guy." Brie says wagging a finger at him.

He kissed her. His tongue rolling around with hers. He kissed his way across her jaw and down her neck. Brie shut her eyes and moaned. Shower sex. Damn this is hot.

Zak kissed his way all the way down her body until he was kneeling in front of her.

"I happen to notice that you kind of took over a lot last night." He smirks up at her and Brie was panting knowing what will happen next.

He nipped across her pelvis and then focused on the need between her thighs. He jerked her legs apart licking and sucking her and Brie grabbed on his hair at the contact and threw her head back. She moaned.

She looks down at him and he was staring up at her marveling the effect he had on her. She needed this. This seem to bring them closer together. This is not mere sex, this is love.

She knew she was on the edge and she didn't want that yet.

"Stop." She breathes out but really can't deny that he knows how to use his mouth.

She tried shrugging and pulling him but he held her tightly in place by the back of her thighs.

"No." it was more of a whimper as she came crashing down with a mind shattering orgasm. All thoughts erased. All bad memories are just buried.

Zak stood up and lifted her leg up and wrapped it around his waist. He pushed inside her without warning and Brie almost cried out but it came out as more of a groan. Fuck, she was just recovering from one orgasm and now she's about to have another.

He had his arm on her leg around his waist supporting it and he slipped a hand around her neck and nudged a little to make her look at him. Their eyes met and they knew that this was supposed to happen. They are supposed to happen. At this moment they are one.

His body pinning her as he held her tight in place and continued to thrust in a rhythmic pattern. He stared into those eyes that he got lost the night they first made love. Even then, he knew that they had something. Something he never shared with any other girl in meaningless one night stands that managed to suppress his sexual needs for the past years.

"You're beautiful. You hear me." He grunts and Brie nodded still holding on to their eye contact like it was her lifeline.

"Look, we're made perfectly for each other." He breathes and Brie looked down at where their bodies are connected. He happen to have a huge one and it surprises her that it fits her perfectly.

"Oh, God." Her hand clenched into a fist in his hair as everything lower her abdominal area does so too.

"Fuck." Zak grunts as he thrust deeper into her driving her and himself to the edge and they let go together. He spilled his load into her as she trembled around him and let goes too.

He buried his face in her neck and she held onto him for dear life.

When it was all over. They were there bodies pressed and all they could hear was the water running and their heavy breathing.

Zak pulled away shaking his head. "I haven't had a good one like that for a lifetime." He lifts his head to stare at her and Brie was crying.

Not really crying but tears were running down her face and now he felt alarmed.

"Baby, what did I do?" He said putting his hands on upper arms. He pulls out of her so suddenly that she winces when he does.

"Fuck, did I hurt you?" He said and he can't even consider the idea. It would kill him if he did.

She shook her head. "No."

"What's the problem then?"

"I felt loved." She said and she knows she's being obnoxious but she can't help but be moved with emotion. It has been a while that she made love that way. It's been a while since mere sex meant something where she's involved.

"I love you." Zak said kissing her.

"I love you too."

And Zak can't still get his head around it that she can finally say the words that he had been dying to hear from her.

"Let's get you clean up." He said pulling her into the water's reach and started washing her.

It was a very intimate move. No one has ever done this to her before. After he finished with her, he started to wash himself briskly and she just stood there still stunned of her earlier declaration.

They both stepped out and he draped a towel around him and grabbed another one to start drying her. They were silent for a while but it wasn't awkward. It was comfortable and she started thinking if she was ever getting used to this. Someone is actually taking care of her instead of the other way around.

When they got out in the bed room, she sat on the bed and she just blankly stared at him as he go around the room and as if he remembers she was in the room he looks up at her.

"Do you wanna borrow a fresh shirt?" Zak says

Brie shook her head. "I got my luggage in the trunk of my car." Remembering that she actually just flew in and went straight directly to Zak after she got her rental car.

"Okay, I'll get it." Zak says shrugging his shirt on

An hour or so later, Brie settled in a comfortable denim shorts and a huge t-shirt that still belonged to Zak which happened to showed up in her things after that trip to Zak's beach house. It might have been mixed up when they were in a hurry to pack their things and get back on the road.

Zak disappeared into his study, the small room that he made into his personal work space an hour ago. He said that he will have their lunch delivered. So typical of Zak. He had a very nice kitchen but never really used it to cook anything. Maybe she'll make them dinner tonight.

She hang around a bit. She watched television in Zak's bedroom. She played around with her iPad. She lounges around the bed. She went out and sat out on the balcony overlooking the pool and marveled how rich her man made of himself by hunting ghosts. Then the thought just hit her, she's bored. Really bored.

She went to find Zak. She tiptoed down the hallway barefoot until she reached Zak's study. She peeked around the doorframe and there he was. The man she loves.

She never really saw him work before and it's not like she know everything what an executive producer does. He looks pretty hot in his office.

His back was turned from the desk and he was talking to someone on the phone. He was facing those floor to ceiling windows that lined one entire side of the room.

Brie hesitated if this was a good time to disturb him since he sounded really pissed. She decided to leave him alone when he suddenly tuned his office chair towards the desk and his eyes met hers.

There it was again. The brightened enthusiasm that his eyes show every time he sees her and the language that only they have in that kind of staring.

He sounds so pissed and so does the rest of his face but his eyes. They were lit up. Even behind his huge glasses that he wear almost all the time now, she could clearly understand the communication that they have.

She hesitated again but walked into the room. Zak welcomed her opening his arm because his other hand was still on the phone.

"Alright, I understand but can't you do something about it? Isn't that what I'm paying you for?" he barks on the phone and Brie winces.

She sat across his lap kissing his temple hoping to relieve his stress. He rubbed her back as she put her arms around his neck. His hand stopping once in a while as he listened to the other person on the phone.

"I don't wanna hear it now but get it fixed. I'm dealing with other things right now. I'm trying to keep my fucking show on air." With that he tosses his phone on the desk in front of him.

He leans back and closes his eyes. Brie just remained there staring at him until he opened one eye to peek at her.

"Having a bad day?" Brie said timidly

"No, not really. Just a mere problem." He says rubbing his free hand on his face.

"Can I help out?" she wasn't really sure what help she could do but if there was anything..

"It's aright. When are you going back on the road?" he asks rubbing her back and taking his glasses off. He tossed them on the desk in front of them just as he did with his phone.

"It'll be a while." She shrugged

"That means?" Zak raised an eyebrow.

"A month or so."

"Why what happened?" he says sitting up almost alarmed

"My knee is kind of screwed up." She smiled sheepishly.

"And you didn't tell me?" he exclaimed

"I know I'm sorry. I think it's not that bad." She said looking down feeling sheepish.

"Which knee? This one?" he puts a hand on one of her knees. She kind of winces.

"Why didn't I notice it the night before? We're you in a lot of pain last night?" he says

"No, it doesn't really hurt unless you hold it tightly like that." She said through her teeth.

"Oh sorry." he lets go of her leg.

"Now Mr. Grumpy pants, what can I do to make you feel better?"

"I feel better that you're here." He says and she smiled at him wildly before kissing him.

"Hmm. Now I feel a lot better." He says smiling against her lips.

Brie moved off his lap to straddle him and he made a sound of pleasure in the back of his throat. She could feel him already hard through his pants. How is that possible?

They were lost into their makeout session when they heard someone clear their throat. They both looked up to see Nick by the doorway.

"I see that you two have made up." Nick said nodding at their direction.

They both scrambled apart as Brie stood and awkwardly brush a strand of hair from her face.

"I have a doorbell just so you know." Zak said rubbing the back of his head.

"I know. I did use it. Nobody came so I just figured out to invite myself in." he shrugs

Brie and Zak threw a look towards each other. Was it really that intense that they both didn't happen to notice the doorbell? Brie gave a giggle.

"Hi Nick. It's nice to see you." She said still laughing at the joke in her head. She made her way over to Nick and gave him a quick hug.

"You too. I was wondering when's the next time I'll see you." Nick joked.

"Hey man, what you doing here this early." Zak said quickly hibernating his computer and stood up.

"Yeah, I came by to tell you that Jay's having a barbecue tonight." Nick says and he looks at Brie and suddenly says. "It's alright if you're busy. We can understand. Really." He snorted a laughter.

"Come on, man. Don't be an ass." Zak said rounding his desk and puts a protective hand behind Brie.

"I was kidding you know." Nick says defending himself. "You should have seen him when he thought it was all over. He was moping like a girl….."

"Okay. You're going to far." Zak said striding towards his friend and and clamping a hand around his neck and dragging him out of the room.

"He was totally heart….." Nick's words were faded as Zak dragged him down the hallway.

Brie laughed at the sight. She shook her head. Will she ever get tired of these guys?

Whoa. Why is she saying it like it's a big thing? Like it's really official? She better get her shit together.

She made her way towards the bedroom and sat on the bed. She stared at nothing for a while.

"There you are. I wonder where you went." Zak said peeking around the doorframe and made his way towards her.

"Where's Nick?" she says as he sat down beside her.

"Yeah, I got him preoccupied in the playroom." He said nodding towards the doorway.

His playroom is like where all the guy things are. It consists of a billiard table, PlayStation set, also an Xbox, an entire side for his gym equipment, you know those things.

"Oh and our lunch's here." He said taking her hand in his hand and played with her fingers. He stared at it for a while.

"Do you wanna go with me at Jay's?" he asked

"I thought I was already going with you."

He looked up and Brie was forming a smile. He lifts her hand and kisses it.

"Of course you are. I just wanted to know if you wanted too." He mirrored her grin. "Do you wanna eat lunch?"

"I'm not yet that hungry." Brie shook her head.

"Me too."

Brie peeked up at him and he was smiling mischievously at her.

"Don't even try." she warns

"Try what?" Zak tried acting innocent but Brie knew better.

He grabbed her as she was trying to scramble off the bed away from him. He put his body on top of her.

"You pervert." Brie laughs at he covers her mouth with hers.
