(Ohmigoodness yay, I am so glad people are enjoying this as a read! I love Zack, and I wanted to write something for him. This came to me and yeah, I'm gonna go with it as far as it takes me. It's good to be back and writing again I missed you guys! And I am so glad that you guys are enjoying reading. So sorry for the length of time between updates, I've been away for a while, on vacation with the fam. I'm back now, ready to start posting chapters again. This story's at an end, but there might just be a sequel in the future!)

-continued from the last chapter I wrote -

"What the hell are you doing down here?" Zack asked in a low and rumbling angry voice as Eve stood in front of him before taking the mic. "I don't know if any of you realized it, but for a few weeks now, Zack's had an anonymous admirer.." Eve started as she paused and looked at Zack, doing her best to look sweet, and completely adoringly at him, she knew he ate that up.

Or he used to. She blinked in shock as he laughed and rubbed his chin, paced the ring.

"GO ZARA!" AJ said as Kaitlyn sighed and then said "This is for your own good." before turning to AJ, shoving their best friend out of the curtains, and to the top of the ramp before highfiving one another.

"This better work." Eve grumbled as she turned to her sister and glared, her arms crossed. "What do you want?" she asked, barely hiding her jealousy, her disdain and her open hatred for the girl.

Zara gulped as she bit her lip, looked from Zack to Eve, then back again. Did she tell him now, or.. Before she got a chance to say anything, she was yanked back behind the curtain by the hand of Jack Swagger, who picked her up, carried her to a room, shoved a chair in front of the door.

Zack swore under his breath, now curious as to what Zara had been about to say when she came out seconds ago. He had this feeling Jack Swagger was behind her 'disappearing' just now, and he felt the rage boiling up at the thought of that ape touching Zara.

"Well?" Zack asked as he raked his hand through his hair then said calmly, "Eve, if you're the anon, then guess what.. I could honestly care less, hoeski." before dropping the mic, jogging up the ramp. Backstage, Santino and Tyson, Derrick Bateman pointed him to the door they'd seen Jack go into.

He'd known Zara well enough to know she hated small spaces, and she really wasn't a fan of big imposing men, and the dark, either. All three things coupling together..

He found Jack in the hallway, smirking in satisfaction and grabbed him, shoving at a wall, then ramming his head into it again seconds later.

"If you did anything to her you fucking ape, I'll kill you." Zack growled as he looked at Jack then dropped him, walking to the room his friends pointed him towards. Taking the chair from beneath the knob, he walked in and looked around.

"Z?"

"Back here, Zack." Zara called out as she waved her hand, stood up. "He didn't touch me, I bit him.. McMahon really needs to fucking do something with that creep." she swore next, quietly to herself as she said "Just stay there a second, okay?"

"What? Why?" Zack asked as Zara paced just out of his sight, muttering under her breath before finally saying, "Because.. I have to tell you something, and.. I'd rather not see it when you laugh at me."

"I already know, Z. It wasn't that hard to figure out after the last text you sent, give me a little credit, babe." Zack said with a laugh as he started towards the back where she was still standing.

"You know what?"

"You're the anon." Zack stated confidently as Zara looked at him and blinked then asked, "How'd.."

"I figured it out when Eve came to the ring just now. Because while she was standing there, admitting to it, my cell phone was buzzing in my jeans pocket.. And then you came through the ring.." Zack said as he added, "Besides, that last message, the direct hint about seeing me with Eve all the time.. It didn't take much to figure it out, when I thought back, thought about it."

Outside the door, AJ and Kaitlyn, Natalya stood in front of it, while Alicia Fox held Eve's arms behind her back, made her listen to the conversation going on in the room. "And there's not a damn thing you can do about it." Kaitlyn gloated as Layla walked up and then said with a wink, "Lock the door. Don't want our little bit chickening out, do we?" as she tossed AJ a large keyring and said "Stole them off the janitor. I say we give Zack and Z their privacy, and go have a little fun with Eve."

Eve grimaced as all of the girls she'd ever managed to hurt, belittle or screw over, closed in on her, laughing.

Inside the room, Zara blinked and then groaned when she heard the door lock from the outside. "I guess it's a good thing I was going to tell you, right?"

"Yeah.. Don't think they were gonna let you out until you did."

"They're pushy but hey, they're my girls." Zara muttered as Zack asked, "Why not just tell me in the first place?"

"I, umm..." Zara trailed off as Zack put his hands on her face, her cheeks and pulled her lips into his for a kiss before muttering "Cluck, Cluck" as if to indicate she were a chicken. Zara managed a laugh before groaning, parting her lips and giving in completely to the kiss and muttered back, "Exactly."

Zack laughed as he picked her up, sat her down again on a tall stack of crates, continuing to kiss her even though at this point they were both pretty much out of breath. When the kiss broke, he smirked and with a wink pressed his forehead against hers and said "So.. I get the cute valet, right?"

"I think you need an eye exam, Zack, but yeah. If you want me, I am yours." Zara said as she leaned in against him, her nose filling with the cologne he wore. "I kinda like this, actually, being locked in here with you."

"We should do this more often." Zack joked as they heard Eve screaming outside as her friends laughed.

"On second thought.. Maybe we should get out of here.. Too noisy.. There's a door to the parking garage back behind those shelves." Zara muttered as Zack picked her up, carried her through the door, and then to her rental car.

Kaitlyn unlocked the door about ten minutes later, and saw the door in the back of the room open and then turning to AJ and Natalya said "Uhh, guys? I don't think Zara's gonna be coming to girls night with us tonight."

"And if she's doing what I think she is, she better name it after at least one of us." Natalya snickered as AJ giggled, crept to the open door in the back of the room, looked out to find her car still in the lot, running but not moving. She called out with a laugh, "Don't mess up the shocks." before shutting the door, falling into laughter.

"Who's up for drinks?" Layla asked as the girls went into catering.

They'd finally done it. They'd finally managed to get two very deserving people where they needed to be. Now, the only question that remained was if they could stay together.

THE END..
