Homecoming Week
Sunday
Addison awoke early, just as the first rays of sunlight had made their way into her room. She smiled as she looked up and saw Zed still peacefully asleep with a small smile on his lips. Gently, she leaned over and placed a soft kiss on his lips before carefully getting out of bed. Grabbing the first article of clothing she could find, she quickly buttoned up Zed's shirt from the night before and made her way downstairs to make a pot of coffee.
As she waited for the coffee to brew, she held the collar of the shirt up to her nose and breathed in the smell of Zed's cologne. Memories of last night running through her mind.
"Are you wearing my shirt"
She squeaked as Zed's husky voice broke into her heated thoughts, her body immediately going into a steady burn as familiar hands laced around her waist, pulling her back against his hard chest, and an even harder body part pressing against her back. Without thinking, she rubbed against him. Delighting in the low growl that rung in her ears as his hands tightened around her waist and he pushed back.
"It was the first thing I saw to put on, and..."Her breathing was coming in small pants as she felt him nuzzle his nose into her neck, "it smells like you."
His hands moved around her waist and stomach."It looks much better on you," he whispered as he lightly kissed her neck. "I bet it would look even better off of you."
Her senses were screaming that she needed to remember that there were other people sleeping in the next room, but her body wouldn't listen.
Managing to turn around, she captured his lips in a ravenous kiss, twining her arms around his neck and using her hands to grasp his hair, pulling him tightly to her. His low growl was lost in her mouth as their kiss deepened. Zed lifted her up and placed her on the kitchen counter. His hands moving from her waist up to cup her breasts through her shirt. His mouth never leaving hers as he rubbed them through the material causing her to moan into his mouth. Starving for air, she managed to pull back, panting as his lips refused to leave her body, now planting kisses across her collarbone.
"Is he online or do I have to call Z Patrol?" Bucky laughed from the doorway.
Zed let out a frustrated laugh against Addison's neck and held up his wrist to show Bucky that his Z-band did in fact still read "online".
"Good to know." He said as he walked over and poured himself a cup of coffee. "Sorry to interrupt, but the coffee woke me up."
"What is it with you cheerleaders and coffee?" Zed asked as he helped Addison off the counter.
"How else do you think we stay so peppy all day?" Bucky replied taking a sip.
"Z, can you make me a cup? I'm going to go run upstairs and put some actual clothes on. I'm sure my cousin has seen enough." Addison gave him a quick peck on the cheek and rushed upstairs.
Zed sighed and ran his fingers through his thick green hair. "Little help here, Bucky? How does she take it?"
"Black. Nothing to dilute the caffeine." Bucky laughed.
"That's just gross," Zed said pretending to dry heave. "How can she drink that?"
"Eh, you get used to it. Sorry for interrupting what I'm sure would have been a fun morning for you."
"Just be glad you didn't walk in any later." Zed laughed as he poured himself a bowl of frosted flakes.
"Trust me, I am. Last night was traumatizing enough," Bucky laughed. "I could have gone my entire life without hearing the things I heard."
"I apologize for nothing," Zed sighed wistfully. "The last few days have been incredible."
"Trust me, I get it. I'm jealous. I wish I didn't have to leave Eliza tonight."
"Are you coming back in for her gig Saturday?"
"What gig?"
"Dude," Zed said putting his spoon down. "She's spinning at The Dock for their big Halloween Mash."
"Seriously?" Bucky asked, clearly shocked. Zed nodded his head in confirmation. "That's awesome! That's like the biggest party of the year at the biggest club in town! She didn't even tell me!" Bucky exclaimed. "That's...huge...wow," he said, a little lost for words. "Of course I'll be there."
"You will?!" Eliza squeaked from the doorway?
Bucky rushed over to her and scooped her up in a hug before twirling her around. "Yes! Baby, I'm so proud of you! That is awesome!" he said as he smacked a loud kiss on her lips. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You were the first person I tried to tell," Eliza said quietly with a shrug.
"I thought I was the first person you told?" Zed said with a mouthful of frosted flakes. Eliza rolled her eyes at him.
"You were. After I couldn't get in touch Bucky," she said with a sigh.
"Baby, I'm sorry. I know I messed up." Bucky apologized for about the hundredth time that weekend.
"Bucky. I know you are sorry. I've forgiven you. Stop." she said kissing his cheek.
"Fine. But please know, there is nothing that can stop me from being at The Dock Saturday night."
"Oohhh!...are we talking about Halloween?" Addison asked as she came down the stairs.
"Yep. Bucky didn't know about Eliza's gig," Zed said around another bite of cereal as he handed Addison her coffee. Eliza smacked his bicep. "Oww. What? I was just catching her up."
"Mmmm….thank you Z," she said as she took a sip. "I have the cutest costumes for us!" Addison gushed. "Well, technically I have 2 costumes for each of us. One set for when we take Zoey trick or treating and one set for the party."
"I'm already a Zombie, do I have to dress up further?"
"I'm with Zed on this one. The whole idea of dressing up as monsters is highly offensive." Eliza stated.
"Pleassssse?" Addison looked at Zed with big eyes and pouty lips.
"Addie, you know I'm going to say yes, please put the pout away," Zed whined.
"Yay!" Addison giggled clapping her hands together.
"Pushover," Eliza muttered under her breath.
"Yup." Zed laughed as he refilled his frosted flakes.
"So, what are we all doing today?" Addison asked, "Other than hiding out from Officer Richard." she added, rolling her eyes.
"Well, we were planning to head over to the Yacht Club," Eliza said motioning between herself and Bucky. "I need to make sure no one messes up my equipment, but other than that, I don't really have any plans."
Bucky sighed. "I've got to leave before 6 to get back up to Shoreline."
"Why don't I cook an early dinner for everyone. We could eat at like, 4?" Zed suggested before spooning another bite of cereal into his mouth.
"Ooh! That's a great idea Z! I love when you cook." Addison gushed as she leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm definitely not turning down a Zed cooked meal," Eliza laughed.
"I'm in," Bucky said raising his hand. "I still get cravings for the barbecue you made at the end of the summer."
"Well I don't think barbecue is going to happen today, but I'll see what I can whip together."
"Just not cauliflower," Addison added with a laugh. "It's always too spicy."
"Better spicy than tasting like a gym sneaker," Zed laughed as he reached over for the cereal box again.
Eliza leaned over and whispered into Bucky's ear, causing him to sit up straight and choke on his last sip of coffee.
"Alright, dinner sounds like a plan. Whatever you guys want is fine with me!" Bucky rushed out as he stood up from the kitchen table and grabbed Eliza's hand "We're going to go get dressed so we can pick up E's equipment."
"Have fun you two!" Addison giggled and waved at them as they rushed past her.
"Can you believe them. Acting like a bunch of teenagers with no adult supervision!" Zed gasped mockingly before laughing.
"Oh be nice, I'm surprised we saw them at all this morning," Addison said as she wrapped her arms around Zed from behind. Snuggling into his shoulder, she whispered, "I don't know what I would do if I couldn't see you every day."
"I know exactly what you mean, gorgeous."
"So, what are you going to make for lunner?"
"Lunner?" Zed asked giving her an odd look.
"Yeah, lunch + dinner...lunner. It sounds better than dunch." she giggled.
"You've got a point there," he laughed. "I don't know. What do you have here to cook," he asked as he took her hand and walked over to the refrigerator.
They both looked through for a few minutes before realizing there really wasn't anything to make.
"Well, looks like we're ordering groceries," Addison sighed as she pulled her phone out of her pocket. When she unlocked her phone she noticed she had quite a few messages from Bree. When she opened the first one up, she gasped. "O. M. G. Zed! Look!" she exclaimed as she shoved the phone towards him. Zed took the phone and saw what she was gasping at. Bree had managed to snap quite a few pictures of the two of them last night during the dance. The one currently on the screen was of Zed dipping Addison low and kissing her as their spotlight dance ended.
"That's an awesome picture," Zed said as he handed the phone back to Addison and pulled her in for a recreation.
"That was an awesome kiss," she laughed as she stood back upright. "Last night, and today."
The two of them snuggled on the couch for a while flipping through the pictures and reminiscing about the dance. Addison smiled. "Last night was perfect."
"You're perfect," he smiled as he leaned in and kissed her softly.
"Get a room you two!" Bucky laughed as he and Eliza walked into the den.
"My house, I don't have to," Addison said as she deepened the kiss.
"Fair point," he shrugged. "E and I are heading out now, we should be back in a few hours. Don't do anything we wouldn't do," he laughed.
"From the sounds we just heard, that's not saying much," Zed joked. "Oww..." he rubbed his bicep that had just received yet another punch from Eliza.
"I apologize for nothing," Bucky smiled using Zed's words from earlier. "We'll see you guys later," he said as he and Eliza walked out the door.
"So...what do you want me to make you for lunner," Zed smiled as he kissed Addison once more.
"Hmmm..."
she said as she kissed him back. "Surprise me."
"You got it, gorgeous," he smiled as he took his phone out and went back into the kitchen to place the order. Ten minutes later, with the grocery order placed, Zed set his phone down and joined Addison in the den. "Groceries should be here in 30-40 minutes. Need a hand?" he asked as he sat down on the ground next to her.
"If you don't mind helping me fold my laundry," she laughed as she leaned in to kiss him.
"Not at all."
"I kind of neglected it the last few days, and you know how my mother is with the house being spotless," she sighed as she passed a basket over to Zed.
Zed laughed and leaned over to kiss the top of her head before starting to fold the basket of clothes. They worked together in comfortable silence, simply happy to be near each other.
"I could get used to this whole domestic thing" Zed joked.
"It is nice, isn't it."
"Addison darling, can I ask you a question?" Zed asked with a trace of humor in his voice.
"Yes, you may, Zed dear."
"This is the third shirt of mine that I've folded. Exactly how much of my clothing do you have?" He laughed as he motioned towards the baskets.
Addison let out a laugh."A few shirts and shorts, plus a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt, one of your old jerseys. Oh, and one of your lifeguard tanks." she giggled as she ticked off the items on her fingers.
"So that's where my clothes have been going," he laughed as he tickled her sides and kissed her neck.
"I can't help it that your clothes are so comfortable!" she tried to defend herself in between fits of giggles. "They're my go-to pajamas."
"You have pajamas? Could have fooled me. I haven't seen you use any since I've been here."
"Are you complaining?" she laughed.
Suddenly stopping his tickle attack, he sat her up straight and looked into her eyes with a very serious, very lust filled expression on his face. "Addison, I would never complain about you sleeping naked with me," he said as he took her face in his hands and kissed her with such fervor that Addison was left breathless when he pulled away. "In fact, I think this whole concept of you wearing clothing is highly overrated."
"Is that so..." she whispered as she moved to straddle his lap.
"Mmhmm," he said against her lips. "Highly overrated."
Addison opened her mouth and deepened their kiss, bringing her hands up and running them through his thick green hair.
Just as Zed pulled away to kiss down her neck, the doorbell rang.
"That's the third interruption today," he sighed. "Not that I'm counting or anything."
"I'm guessing that's the groceries. I better go, just in case Officer Richard is close by."
"Good idea," he said helping her up.
With the groceries in the kitchen, Zed got to work on preparing lunner, or dunch, or whatever it was that Addison insisted on calling it, while Addison finished folding and putting away her laundry. A few minutes later, Addison walked into the kitchen talking to someone on the phone.
"No, I just finished putting away my laundry, Mom. I'm sitting down to send you pictures right now. Hold on." she said as she pressed a few buttons on her phone, forwarding some of the pictures from the dance. "There, all sent. You should be getting them soon. How's the conference going?"
Zed brought a large covered pan over to the oven and slid it in. With the timer set, he walked over to the kitchen table where Addison was sitting and began to rub her shoulders.
"I miss you too, Mom, I'm glad you guys are having a good ti..." she suddenly pulled the phone away from her ear as her mother let out an excited shriek. "I'm guessing the pictures came through," Addison laughed.
Zed began to lightly trail kisses along her neck, causing her to close her eyes and let out a soft moan.
"What? No, nothing, sorry Mom. The dance was amazing."
Slowly, Zed moved his hand from her shoulder and softly brushed against her breasts, nipping at her ear before soothing the sting with his tongue.
"Mom, I have to run. Talk to you later. Love you. Bye," she rushed out as she hung up the phone. She quickly stood up and wrapped her arms around him. "That was a very, very naughty thing to do," she whispered. Her eyes were almost black with desire.
There was suddenly a frenzy of kissing, their tongues sliding together easily. His hands were everywhere at once, cupping her and squeezing her, sliding over curves and dipping into valleys until her body was shaking and screaming for more.
Zed shifted against her. She felt his hands slide under her skirt as he kissed her, groaning loudly into her mouth before he pulled back.
"Addison, where are your panties?"
"Didn't think I needed them," she moaned as she pulled his shirt over his head. When his fingers started to move in tiny concentrated circles against her, she knew that she would soon be done for. Her eager moans and quick responses excited him further. He suddenly growled and removed his hand.
Without moving his lips from hers, Zed lifted her onto the kitchen counter. He fumbled briefly with his button fly, quickly freeing himself and wrapping her legs higher around his waist while guiding himself to her hot center. Addison let out a loud moan as she felt him at her entrance.
"I need to run upstairs, I don't have a condom." he panted out as he rested his forehead against hers.
"No you don't," Addison smiled kissing his jaw as she pulled one out of her dress pocket.
He laughed as he took it from her."Someone was prepared."
"I told you, no one likes an unprepared cheerleader."
"Remind me to start carrying these things around," Zed whispered in her ear as he pushed himself into her. They both gasped out loud at the sensation. Zed moved her legs so that they were hanging over his forearms, bracing his hands against the edge of the counter for added leverage. The new position bent her legs back toward her at a different angle, which caused her to feel him even deeper.
Looking into her eyes, he slowly pulled his hips back, almost leaving her, before thrusting forward again. Addison's head hit the cabinet as she threw it back and cried out, never having felt anything that deep before.
Zed stopped. "Oh my god! Addie, are you okay?"
Panting loudly, she grabbed him by his hair and pulled him in for a kiss. "Don't stop, please," she moaned. "So, good." She leaned forward and bit hit him hard on his chest.
Zed let out a snarl, "Did you just bite me?" He didn't think he'd ever been so turned on in his life.
In answer, she smiled and bit him again.
He latched onto her mouth once more, kissing her so hard that she felt light headed. He broke their kiss with a loud growl and buried his face against her neck, "And I thought I was the zombie," he said between breathy snarls.
Addison was on sensory overload. She could feel the stubble from his cheek as it scratched her neck, the slickness of his tongue as it flicked against her skin, the flex of his muscles as he shifted his hips between her legs, the deep pulling as he thrust back and forth inside her.
"Zed!" Addison screamed out her pleasure. Her eyes squeezed shut and she bit her lip, moaning as he ground himself inside her even harder, riding out the waves of her orgasm until he followed closely behind her with his own.
Rather than separating from her, Zed picked Addison up and pulled her into his lap right there on the floor. He leaned against the cabinets and clutched her tightly.
"Addie..."
"Don't you dare apologize, Zed"
"But I didn't mean to get so carried away..."
"Look at me," she said as she pulled his face down to hers and kissed him with every ounce of passion that she could. Pulling away, she smiled "That was...I don't even know where to begin...We will definitely be doing that again," she giggled as she kissed him once more.
Relaxing a little, he smiled against her lips. "That was definitely intense," he laughed.
"I don't think I'll ever be able to look at this kitchen the same way again," she giggled, burying her face into his chest.
"Oh god," Zed laughed throwing his head back, "I suddenly just got a mental image of your mom scrubbing the counters with those yellow gloves of hers."
Addison laughed, "Remind me to call her back."
"Come on gorgeous, let's go clean up before Eliza and Bucky get back," he said as he kissed the top of her snow-white hair.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
A few hours later, Bucky and Eliza walked into the house.
"Honey, we're home," Bucky called out from the base of the stairs.
"Oh man," Eliza moaned as she sniffed the air. "Zed broke out the big guns for dinner," she smiled.
"Correction, not for dinner. I believe the word you are looking for is dunch. Or lunner. Addie, what was it again?" Zed laughed as he walked down the stairs.
"Lunner, Zed. Lunner," she laughed as she joined them, "and it smells amazing, by the way."
"I agree," Bucky said. "What is it?"
"That would be the unmistakable smell of Zed's famous pot roast," Eliza said smiling. "It is seriously the most delicious thing I have ever had."
Zed let out an embarrassed laugh. "Way to build up the hype, E."
"I'm just being honest," she laughed holding up her hands.
"Well I appreciate it. It's still got about an hour in the oven."
"An hour….hmmm..." Addison said as she tapped her finger to her chin. "Bucky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"I don't know Addison," he said with a laugh. "Are you thinking that an hour is the perfect amount of time for an epic karaoke battle? Because if so, then yes!"
"Yes!" Zed exclaimed. "Zoms vs. Poms! It is so on!"
"I'm going first!" Eliza exclaimed as she ran into the den. Zed, Addison, and Bucky followed her in and sat on the couch as Eliza pulled out her computer and synced it to the surround sound. Music began to fill the air as Eliza stood in front of them with her eyes closed.
"And you got me, let go
What you want from me? (What you want from me?)
And I tried to buy your pretty heart, but the price too high
Baby, you got me like oh
You love when I fall apart (fall apart)
So you can put me together
And throw me against the wall
Baby, you got me like ah, woo, ah
Don't you stop loving me (loving me)
Don't quit loving me (loving me)
Just keep loving me (loving me)"
"Ehhhhhh!" Bucky jumped up doing his best impersonation of a buzzer. "It's 'start', you said 'keep'! My turn"
Eliza growled as she sat down on the couch.
"It's alright, E. We can still win this," Zed said giving her an encouraging smile.
Bucky took a moment looking at the songs on Eliza's computer before finally deciding on one.
"My lover's got humor
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshiped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
'We were born sick, ' you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Amen, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
To drain the whole sea
It's un-shiny"
"Ehhhhhhh!" Eliza was quick to interrupt. "'Get something shiny'! Not 'un-shiny'! We're tied! We got this Zed!"
"Alright, let me see...Ah! Perfect," he laughed as he selected his song choice. As the music started, Bucky groaned as Eliza and Addison began to cheer. Zed pulled a chair over to the center of the room and sat down as he began to sing.
"I'm just a bachelor
I'm looking for a partner
Someone who knows how to ride
Without even falling off"
Zed stood up and danced his way over to Addison, never taking his eyes off of her.
"Gotta be compatible
Takes me to my limits
Girl when I break you off
I promise that you won't want to get off
If you're horny, let's do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it
If you're horny, let's do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it"
He leaned down and scooped her up, carrying her bridal style over to the chair. Addison blushed a deep crimson as Zed began to seductively dance for her.
"Sitting here flossing
Peeping your steelo
Just once if I have the chance
The things I will do to you
You and your body
Every single portion
Send chills up and down your spine
Juices flowing down your thigh
If you're horny, let's do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it
If we're gonna get nasty, baby
First, we'll show and tell
Till I reach your ponytail
Lurk all over and through you baby
Until we reach the stream
You'll be on my jockey team
If you're horny, let's do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it"
Zed leaned down and kissed her deeply. He pulled away and smiled, "1 point for team Zoms, you're up Cheerleader."
"I...I..." Addison began to stutter.
"Oh, come on! That's not fair! You went all Magic Mike on her," Bucky complained. "She can't even form a coherent thought after that."
"Hey, all is fair in love and karaoke," Eliza laughed as she high fived Zed.
"I need a minute," Addison laughed, fanning herself. "How am I supposed to follow that up?"
"Sorry, gorgeous," Zed laughed and gave her wink.
"I'm throwing this round," she sighed. "Let's just move on to round two."
"Yes! That's what I'm talking about!" Zed exclaimed as he high-fived Eliza once again and began to game plan for the next round.
By the time the timer on the stove sounded, Team Zoms was up 2-1.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
"Zed, I thought Eliza was exaggerating. But that was seriously the most amazing meal I've ever had." Bucky said as he rubbed his overly full stomach. "I'm going to have to hit the gym hard in the morning to work this off."
"Thanks, Bucky, glad you enjoyed."
Eliza giggled as she snuggled into Bucky's side. "Nobody said you had to go serving for serving with Zed."
"It was too good not too," he laughed, kissing her on the cheek.
"Zed dear."
"Yes, Addison darling," Zed laughed as he looked over at her.
"If there ever comes a time when you need to butter my parents up for something...make this. They will be putty in your hands."
Zed smiled and leaned in for a kiss. "I will definitely keep that in mind."
"Oh, and when the time comes and we have our own place, you are totally doing all the cooking."
"Gladly, gorgeous," he whispered as he leaned in for another kiss.
"Okay, okay, enough of the mushy stuff," Eliza said as she threw a napkin at them. "Zed, dinner was awesome. It's always been my favorite. Thank you. Unfortunately, we've got to get going."
"You're welcome, E. I'm glad we got to do this. Maybe we can all do something over Thanksgiving break."
"That would be great," Bucky said as he stood up from the table. "Zed, I will see you Saturday. Take care of my baby cousin."
"I will Bucky. See you Saturday," he said as he patted Bucky on the shoulder. "E, I'll see you at school in the morning."
"Bye, Zed," she waved as she, Bucky and Addison walked to the door.
When they walked outside, Addison noticed the patrol car parked across the street. She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Eliza," she said as she hugged her friend goodbye, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Thanks for letting us stay over last night," Eliza whispered as she hugged her back.
"Happy to help. Hang in there, they'll come around eventually."
"I hope so," Eliza said as she got into the van.
Addison walked over to Bucky, "I love you, cuz," she said as she hugged him tightly. "Don't disappear on us again, please."
"I love you too. I promise you, I won't. But if for some reason I do, can you promise me something?"
"What?" she asked pulling back to look at him.
"That'll you'll set me straight with another low kick."
Addison laughed and hugged him once more. "You got it, buster. Drive safe. I'll see you next weekend."
"See you, Addie," Bucky smiled as he got into the van and drove off.
Addison walked back inside and locked the front door. When she walked into the kitchen, Zed was standing at the sink washing the dishes from dinner.
"Need a hand?"
"If you want to dry."
"You do know we have a dishwasher, right?" Addison asked as she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek.
"I figured four place settings might lead to some questions if your mom got to the dishwasher first," he laughed as he bent down and kissed a kiss on her nose.
"Good thinking. I'll dry and put away."
When the last of the dishes were finished, Addison hugged Zed tightly.
"So, what's on the schedule this week now that football is over? Basketball doesn't start until after Thanksgiving."
"Well, it's back to the beach for me. I've got to make that money, honey" Zed winked
"Oh, I forgot that you were going back to work," Addison said sadly. "I kind of got used to having you all to myself since school started. I was hoping I could talk you into coming over after cheer practice."
"You could always come visit me while I'm on duty. Maybe you could help me with my mouth to mouth resuscitation skills."
"You mean like Morgan tried to do at the end of the summer?" Addison said bitterly.
"To be fair, I thought she was really drowning. I mean who fakes that?"
"Trust me Zed, Morgan was the only one who actually went through with it. She was far from the only one to have the idea," she said crossing her arms over her chest.
"Aw, Addie. Don't be like that."
"Like what?"
"Like you were over the summer anytime I was on duty," Zed said as he exasperatedly grabbed his hair.
"I have no problem with you working Zed"
"Then what is it?"
"Nothing."
"Addie, please?"
"Fine," Addison said before taking a deep calming breath. "Have you ever noticed that the beach is a little more female populated when you're on duty?"
"No."
"Well, it is."
"Addison. Look at me." Zed said as he gently pulled her chin back in his direction. "I only have eyes for you. I'm not working as a lifeguard to look at other girls. I'm there because they pay me the same amount they do to normal people and they are willing to work with my sports schedule. I love you. Only you."
"I love you too," she whispered as she closed the distance between them and kissed him softly. "I'm sorry."
"Nothing to apologize for, gorgeous."
"I'm not ready for tomorrow," she sighed against his chest. "The last few days have been like living in a fairy tale."
"I know exactly what you mean. Let's just think of this weekend as a preview of what our someday is going to be like," he said as he kissed her.
"Zed, Promise me this is forever."
"I promise."
Addison let out a soft moan as Zed's hands wrapped around her, lifting her up. She wrapped her legs around him tightly as she surrendered to him completely.
