"You...You What?" Zoe looked as her jaw dropped to the ground
"I Love You Zoe Busiek...I Have from the first moment I saw you"
"Oh Dan,I don't know if I love you,but I care about you very,very much"
"Well" Dan Grinned "Let see if I Can't change that" And with that he grabbed Zoe and kissed her,it was the longest most romantic kiss she had ever had in her entire life,he led her into the bedroom,where she had the most romantic love-making she had ever had,it was Good with Marcos but no where near as romantic and passionate as it was with Dan. There was just something about him,when he touched you how you seemed not to have any cares in the world,how everything just seemed perfect. She never wanted to leave his arms.
"Good Morning Beautiful" He whispered into her ear
"Mmm..What Time Is It? "It's about 7" "Mmm k...wake me in like 2 Hrs...WHAT..I need to get home,I Need to get the kids to school,Taylor isn't capable of doing that by herself"
"Breathe Zoe,Its Sunday,Theres No School...You're Fine..Taylor called I told her you fell alseep on the couch,although I don't think she believed me,but hey I tried" "Oh Dan,Last night was.." Dan Finished her sentence "Wonderful I know" "Yes it was,I'm just not sure it was the right thing to do" "Are You regretting What happened?" "No..No of course not,it was Beautiful,Im...Im just not sure im ready for another relationship right away,I mean i just turned down Marcos proposal,and then I Made love with you,Im just really confused,you understand...right?"
"Yes Zoe,Of course" Even tho Dan really didn't and he was hurt because all he wanted to do was be with Zoe, but he would wait forever if he had to.
"Aunt Zoe... you're glowing" Taylor grinned from ear to ear "I Have no idea what you are talking about",Zoe tried not to smile but how couldn't she not after that perfect night she had spent with Dan. "Oh com'on Aunt Zoe,Im not that dumb,what happened?"
"Taylor you are my niece,I Will NOT tell you about my love life" "Aunt Zoe just because you do it with some guy doesn't mean I will,I mean you are alot older then me,im not even thinking about doing it with anyone: "Ok 1.Taylor I am not THAT older then you,and two thats good to hear that your not thinking about doing it,but i need to set a GOOD example" "Ok Aunt Zoe" Taylor smiled..knowing what had happened at Dan's apartment,she just walked away.
So many thoughts filled Zoe head,she was so confused,she had just turned down Marco's proposal,and that same night she had made love with Dan, even tho it was amazing,she didnt know what to do,She knew she still loved Marcos,but she had these strong feelings for Dan that she had kept hidden,and when Dan kissed her they all came out. She just didn't know what to do. She looked at the clock "O Shit,I gotta get to work" She jumped in the shower,threw her hair up and raced out the door.
"What did u do,just roll Out Of bed?" Sophia asked.
"Long Night" but she thought to herself,what a wonderful night it was. "You have about a dozen,long stemmed red roses on your desk. Zoe,Are they from Marcos?" "I Dunno Sophia,I'll just have to see" She opened her office door to see the most Beautiful red roses she had ever seen in her life,she took the card from them and it read, "These Flowers are Beautiful,Not as Beautiful as last night, and no where near as Beautiful as you, Love Dan.
A single tear rolled down Zoe's face,that was Beautiful she thought,but she was just so confused,she was head over heals in love with Marcos,or at least thats what she thought,she didn't know what to do,so she decided to write Candy a letter
Hey Gurl! How are you,things here are doing good,well ok there not i lied, well sorta lets see where do i begin well..uhh.Marcos proposed to me,It was the most Beautiful ring you had ever seen,but I said no,and you're probably not going to like why I said no,because I know you and Dan had a thing going on and I still don't understand why you two broke up,but right before I was just gettin ready to go meet Marcos for dinner,I was in the elevator and all of a sudden Dan said there had been something he has been wanting to do for a long time,and he grabbed me and gave me the longest most passionate kiss ever,and then I had to go out to dinner with Marcos,and when he asked me to Marry him,I just had all the thoughts running through my mind about dan,about that kiss,about Marcos,but I knew that I couldn't marry Him when I was questioning my feelings for him. and thats not the end of it,I came home crying and Taylor talked to me,and thats when i decided to go over to Dan's,well we started making out and then I pulled away and I just couldnt, and then he said He loved me,and I told him I didn't love him but I have really strong feelings for him,and he said lets see if we could change that,and well one thing led to another and we made love,and now im just really confused. Candy gurl what should I do? Love Zoe
Zoe felt better that she got some of that off her chest. When she got home she seen that the table was candle lit and there were scattered rose petals all over they ground,and the kids were no where to be found,all of a sudden the door bell rang and there was Dan standing there handsome as ever "Come In",Zoe smiled,still not having a clue whats going on. "I got a call to come over here,I think it was Taylor" "Taylor" she screamed but no one answered,so she went up stairs into Taylor's room and found a note on her bed "Aunt Zoe we all cooked dinner and set the table up,I took Cliff and Hannah to the mall,then we are going to go to the movies,Im with Juilan so dont worry,just enjoy you dinner,and Behave Love Taylor" She went back downstairs.
"Well would you like to have dinner?,It seems that my wonderful niece,Taylor thought of all this"
"Does she know about us...About" "Yeah I Think she does,When I came home that one morning after...she told me I was..umm nevermind lets eat" "Wait..what..you were what?" "That I was glowing..ok" Zoe blushed.
After eating about as much as they could and drinking about 4 glasses of wine they went to watch a movie in the living room. "That was really good",Dan Said "Yeah I never knew my family could cook,they must of got that from there" Zoe paused,"They must have got that from there mother"
Zoe popped in a movie and she snuggled next to Dan,she looked at her watch,it was only 7:45,the kids wont be home for about an hr she thought,just more time to be with Dan and be wrapped in his arms. She suddenly sat up,and moved away from Dan "Dan I don't know if we should be together tonight,I mean who knows what will happen and the kids will be home soon and I just.." And with that he pulled her in and gave her another one of his passionate kisses. He slowly unbuttoned her blouse and she found her hand going up the back of his shirt. "You're Beautiful" He whispered.
All of a sudden Taylor came in the house "Hey Aunt..Oh My" and she went back outside to take Cliff and Hannah out to grab something to eat "Why are we going away again?",Hannah Whined..."Im Tired,I Wanna go to Sleep and see Aunt Zoe" "Lets Just Go!" Taylor Exclaimed!
Zoe took dan upstairs into the bedroom and the made love again and again,and they fell asleep into each others arms.
They were both awaken by the Alarm clock. "Dan OMG we fell alseep in MY room,in MY house,the same house where there are KIDS right down the hall!" They both jumped out of bed,Zoe ran to the shower and Dan grabbed his clothes and threw them on and snuck downstairs,just as he was at the door he heard "Good Morning Mr. Lennox" Taylor said,as she grinned from ear to ear "Good Morning Taylor..Just uhh..Waking up your aunt..see you later Taylor."
Zoe came downstairs not knowing Taylor was already awake. "Uhh Good Morning Taylor,what are you doing up so early?" Zoe had that glowing look again. "I Dunno,I just woke up early I guess." She said,still smiling from ear to ear. "So Aunt Zoe..How was your dinner with Dan..I Mean Mr.Lennox?" "Fine..And Thank You" "You're Welcome..And Aunt Zoe...Next time you make out with someone,It's not a good idea to do it on the living room couch" "YOU SAW US" "Aunt Zoe It's not like you hide it.I mean come'on,he slept over last night" "No He didn't" "Ok Then..why was he SNEAKING downstairs?" "Umm Well..He Didn't..Umm..Go Brush Your Teeth and wake Cliff and Hannah up" "Yes Aunt Zoe" Taylor said still having a smile from ear to ear.
(A Few Weeks Later)
"Ugh I can't get out of bed" Zoe said. "But Aunt Zoe,You promised me you would take me to the mall" "Taylor,Can't Juilan take you..please" All of a sudden Zoe flung out of bed and ran to the bathroom. "Aunt Zoe...Are you ok?" "Yea Taylor I'll be fine,just a bit of the flu" "Aunt Zoe,you have been like this all week" "Taylor I'm fine,just go get your brother and sister and take them next door to Juilan's,his grandma is going to watch them for the day,and you can go to the mall. "Thanks Aunt Zoe"
Zoe thought to her self "I Never Get Sick,Whats Wrong with me?" She opened the door and seen a pregnancy test. "Is it possible?" she thought to her self.."No No,It Cant Be,Im Only A Few Days Late" "I guess I should take it..ya know just in case" Just then the phone rang "Hey Zoe,Its Dan,Can you come over for dinner tonight..Say Around 7?" "Sure No problem see you then"
As Dan hung up the phone he thought..Tonights the Night!
At 5:00 Zoe jumped in the shower and when she got out she blow dried her hair,and curled it,making sure each curl was prefect,she found this beautiful pink and white sun dress. She put it on and put her make-up on. At 6:30 she called next door and asked to speak to Taylor. "Hey Taylor,I was wondering if you could watch Hannah and Cliff tonight,im going out,please?" "Sure Aunt Zoe,Hey i got to go,were playing Monopoly Bye"
Zoe went back up stairs and looked in the bathroom ,the pregnancy test was there.She was afraid to see the results.
She arrived at Dan's apartment right on time. "You Look Beautiful" He Said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek
"Zoe Come here I need to talk to you" " Zoe you are the most incredible person I Have ever met,I have never loved someone like I Love you,So Will You Become Mrs.Dan Lennox?"
Zoe just started into space as a single tear rolled down her cheek "Dan..Im Pregnant"
(Cliffhanger...HeHe..Please Review)
"I Love You Zoe Busiek...I Have from the first moment I saw you"
"Oh Dan,I don't know if I love you,but I care about you very,very much"
