Confessions & Resolutions

(A/N Well I said that to make up for that short chapter I am going to update faster and now here's the longer chapter. And By the way I'm Sorry that I made the mistake of spelling their mom's name as "Carrie" and not "Carey" and will not make that mistake again)

Last Time On "Wrong Place, Wrong Time": London was just talking to Maddie about getting a dress for the prom and Maddie almost blew her cover to London but just blew it for Carey. Meanwhile Zack is having one hell of a time with the moving thing but for Cody it's a godsend and is rejoicing.

Now The Story

As Maddie heard Carey's voice it sent a shiver down her spine, as she didn't know how she'd react to her dating Zack she does know there's still a bit of an awkward age difference.

"So what were you saying?" Carey asked, and as Maddie tried to come up with an answer it became clear on Carey's face that she knew what she was talking about.

"Okay I kinda asked Zack to his prom as my promise 5 years ago" she said nervously.

"Well did you have to remind him?" Carey then asked teasingly.

"Yeah well I Kinda promised" she answered.

"Well I hope you take this well," she said cautiously.

"What?" she asked quite nervously.

"Well sadly the hotel laid me off and in a week we have to move to New York" Carey replied.

"What? You can't I L……..um" she then came to an abrupt pause not knowing what she was saying.

"Yeah I know we'll miss you and the rest of the staff but we really have to go." She answered.

"But we can postpone moving day by one day so Zack can still go with you to the prom" she added.

"Really! Thanks Carey" Maddie then replied.

"But we can't tell Zack that I told you this until the day itself we should make his last week here the happiest and care free week that he ever spent." Carey asked of her.

"Yeah I agree, oh it's getting quite late its 9:30 I have to fix the candy bars and go home" Maddie said.

"Yeah, Okay well see you tomorrow" Carey then said.

Later at around 1:45 AM

Zack was lying on his bed thinking, he never thought that deeply but tonight its as if he was consumed by his own thoughts.

He was looking up to the ceiling in his mind its as if he sees stars up in the sky but in his mind none of them would shine brighter in his heart than Maddie.

As he got up he had a feeling of hunger in his stomach, he inched himself to the kitchen to get a midnight snack.

When he picked up a BLT sandwich from the table and took a small bite from it he saw a picture frame at the table side and feelings started building up inside him.

It was a picture of the twins along with the entire staff he still remembers that day 3 years ago.

Flashback

"While the twins were outside they were having an argument"

"Seriously I will not get into this idiotic scheme" Cody said seriously.

"C'mon all you have to do is to tell me when the coast is clear then when Maddie's alone I can ask her out" Zack said.

"Okay but you better owe me big time here I go in and tell you if the coast is clear with this walkie-talkie" Cody said.

As Cody came in through the service door Zack was standing outside waiting for a reply and contemplating on how best to ask her out.

When Cody saw that they were having a staff picture taken he quickly told Zack through the walkie-talkie "Zack not yet there having their picture taken."

But as he spoke some radio interference gave Zack a different message.

"Well the spot is clear you better take the lot before someone else goes there" the message was apparently from a parking lot.

But Zack mistook it and quickly rushed into the lobby as the picture was taken

End of flashback

"Yeah I was grounded for a week" Zack said not knowing that he was talking to himself.

As he remembered this, a tear fell from his eye and strangely enough the tear fell on Maddie's face on the picture.

After finishing his sandwich he decided to go back to bed but he ended up not getting a single hour of sleep.

That morning at around 6:30 as Zack was lying on his bed again he made a resolution.

"If I only have a week here I will ask Maddie out today on a date I must!" he told himself in his mind.

As his last Sunday's sun in this hotel rose on the horizon he has nothing but confidence that he can forge those thoughts into actions.

"But will he?"

At that same time

Maddie was getting up from bed she also had a bad night, as she got up her sheets were off the bed and one of her pillows was on the floor.

As she was going downstairs her mom greeted her.

"Hey Mom" she said quite weakly and quietly.

"What is it, is it a guy problem?" her mom teasingly asked.

"Ye….no, never mind" she said.

"Well what ever it is it has to be serious, granny can hear you moaning in your sleep all night" her mom said.

"No its nothing I am fine" Maddie replied.

As Maddie stared at the table she saw her cereal bowl and it reminded her of the curvature of Zack's sugar bowl cut which still gives him that little certain touch of boyishness and youth.

Deep in her mind Maddie was puzzled at ho much she's falling for Zack especially since she can still remember how she'd baby-sit the twins when they were younger.

"No I shouldn't question this feeling since he'll only be here for less than a week I will make this his best week that is my week's resolution." She thought to herself as she was washing her face and brushing her teeth.

As she got out in her uniform she had a smile of confidence in her face no knowing that only a few blocks away a certain 17 year old boy was feeling the same.

As Maddie was walking to work she passed by the corner of a French restaurant she had an unexpected surprise.

As she walked she tripped and fell.

"Hey could you watch where you're going" not knowing that it was actually Zack who tripped on her.

"So..…um Maddie do you want to eat some breakfast there?" Zack asked.

"You mean like on a date?" Maddie replied.

"Yeah if you want to." Zack answered.

"Okay lets go" They both awkwardly said at the same time"
