First off, let me clarify a few things.

1. "Zoey is ugly" is not a good reason for me to all of a sudden decide to dislike this pairing. (I actually think she's cute, but that's irrelevant.)

2. This is never turning into an Anne Maria/Vito fic. Not for a single chapter. I'm sure those exist elsewhere on the site. If you want that pair, look somewhere else.

3. This has been a Zoke fic for 48 chapters now why would I suddenly change tracks like that

4. Why did you even open a fanfic labeled "Mike & Zoey" and read 46 chapters of it if you feel that strongly against the ship

5. And why did you call me "honey"

6. Seriously what the hell

I can never say my reviewers aren't interesting.

But to the readers and reviewers who have been enjoying this, thank you! I love you! I'm glad to know you've stuck with me all this time!


Not the First

"Zoey?" Mike asked as he lied by Zoey's side. "Does it ever bother you that you weren't my first?"

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"That I had other girlfriends before this," Mike said. "You weren't my first girlfriend, you weren't my first kiss even if you ignore what happened with Anne Maria and Vito... you weren't even the first girl I ever slept with." He ran his hand down Zoey's side and rested it on her waist. "I know a lot of girls find it romantic to be a guy's first something... but for me, you're not."

"It's not like you're pining over an ex, right?" Zoey asked.

"No!" Mike's eyes widened in shock. "Of course not! I wouldn't! I'm happy being with you!"

Zoey giggled and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Then I don't care. Those relationships ended for a reason, right? They're in the past. You're with me now." She cuddled up to his chest. "I used to think it'd be nice to be a guy's first love... but that doesn't matter to me anymore. I want to be with you, and I don't even think about the fact that I'm not your first anymore."

Mike relaxed. "If you're sure... I wish I never wasted time on all those girls who abandoned me once they found out what they'd have to deal with to be with me, but I can't really change that."

"It's OK that I'm not your first," Zoey said. "I just want you to promise me one thing."

"Anything for you, Zoey."

"I want to be your last."

Mike smiled. "That, I can definitely do."
