FORUM IS UP! So whoever wants to join is welcome to. :-)
Just want to send a huge thank-you to everyone who's been with me until now. I couldn't ask for better readers! (fans, whatever you guys call yourselves) ;-)
A week and a half later
Sam and Courtney left to sleep-away camp at the beginning of the week. They wanted to go together, so that they'd have somebody there that they know.
That's why Zach and I have been having sleepovers that past couple of nights.
Our parents just let us be, thankfully. Ever since we told them last year, they'd just give us knowing smiles and throw a few winks here and there. They leave us, quote and quote, to our 'teenage needs.'
Tonight Zach and I are having another sleepover, this time at his house. Sex isn't on the agenda- well, it always is, but not specifically tonight. We're thinking of watching a movie, making pizza and just having a chill night.
My plan is to get him to sing to me. I heard him messing around on his guitar the other day, while singing some random words. His voice is absolute heaven. It's kind of deep, and a little scratchy- but the 'just right' scratchy. The kind of voice I love.
I open the Goode's door and the smell of pizza hits me.
"It already came?" I ask as I walk into the kitchen.
"Yeah, just a few minutes ago." Zach replies.
"Awesome." I sit at the table. "What movie are we watching?" He smirks.
"Surprise." I pout.
"Please?" he chuckles.
"You'll see." He pecks my lips. "Now, come on." He pulls me up and takes the pizza with him. I grab the plates and take the popcorn out of the microwave, and then I follow him into the den.
Zach sets the pizza on the table, and I do the same with the plates and popcorn. We sit down on the couch together, snuggling into each other. I reach over to put a slice of pizza on a plate and give it to Zach, and then I do the same for me. I lean against him and he wraps his right arm around me.
"So what movie?" I ask again.
"Top Gun." He answers. "My parents suggested it."
"Tom Cruise is in it, right?"
"Yeah."
"I heard that it's an amazing movie."
"We have yet to find out." He smiles at me. "Mind clicking play?"
"Sure."
"I'm sad."
"Goose?"
"Yeah."
Zach and I are laying on his bed, so we're spooning.
"I liked him, too."
"Mmhmm." I cried, actually. He was my favorite character.
We lay in a comfortable silence.
"Hey, Zach?" I ask.
"Yeah?"
"Can you sing me a song? Please?" I feel him shift behind me.
"Sure." He takes my hand and starts rubbing small circles with his thumb. "Which one do you want?"
"Can you sing Never Too Late?"
"I guess so. Why that one?"
"'Cause I like it!" I exclaim. He chuckles and then kisses my neck.
"If you say so." He starts moving his thumb along with the beat in his head. "This world will never be what I expected, and if I don't belong, who would've guessed it?" his voice sends shivers running up and down my spine. "I will not leave alone everything that I own to make you feel like it's not too late, it's never too late." He waits a few seconds, then continues. "Even if I say, it'll be alright, still I hear you say, you want to end your life. Now and again we try to just stay alive. Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late- it's never too late." His breath is warm against my neck. His fingers tap my hand in time to the music in his head. "No one will ever see this side reflected, and if there's something wrong- who would've guessed it? And I have left alone everything that I own, to make you feel like it's not too late- it's never too late." He hugs me closer to him. "Even if I say, it'll be alright, still I hear you say, you want to end your life. Now and again we try to just stay alive. Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late- it's never too late. The world we knew won't come back. The time we've lost- can't get back. The life we had won't be ours again." His voice gets quieter. "This world will never be what I expected- and if I don't belong…" He pauses and whispers to me, "sing with me."

"Even if I say, it'll be alright, still I hear you say, you want to end your life. Now and again we try to just stay alive. Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late- it's never too late. Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late- it's never too late. It's never too late! It's not too late- it's never too late."
"Thanks, Zach. Love you." I tell him.
"Love you, too. But, uh, can I pick a song now?" I smile.
"Sure."
"Thanks." I hear him swallow. "I'm here again, a thousand miles away from you. A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am." He squeezes my hand. "I tried so hard, thought I could do this on my own! I've lost so much along the way." He turns me over, so I'm laying on my back. His eyes are closed. "Then I see your face," his eyes slowly open, "I know I'm finally yours. I find everything I thought I lost before." His hand travels down to my waist. "You call my name- I come to you in pieces so you can make me whole." His other hand traces my lips and then cups my cheek. I stare into his eyes- deep pools of misty green- and they turn slightly darker. He kisses me lightly, just a small kiss- but it portrays all he is feeling. "I've come undone…" his hand makes a lazy trail to my lower stomach and rests there. "…but you make sense of who I am, like puzzle pieces in your hand." He brings my hand to his lips and kisses it. "Then I see your face, I know I'm finally yours. I find everything I thought I lost before. You call my name, I come to you in pieces so you can make me whole." A lone tear rolls down his cheek, his eyes stormy with emotions. His eyes stay locked on mine, holding me in place. His intense gaze makes me unable to wipe away the tear. He leans down and kisses me roughly, but sweetly and passionately at all the same time. I kiss back, pulling at his hair and bringing him closer to me. My mouth opens as I moan, and he continues to kiss me, our tongues battling. We pull away, breathing heavily. His head drops down, and he rests it in the crook of my neck. He continues the song. "I tried so hard, so hard! I tried so hard…" He kisses me again. "Then I see your face, I know I'm finally yours," he whispers to me. "I find everything I thought I lost before." He grinds down onto me, gently. "You call my name…"
"Zach…" I whisper, and I cup his cheek. He smiles.
"…I come to you in pieces so you can make me whole." He takes a breath. "So you can make me whole." He drags it out until he can't, and then he kisses me with a fiery passion. I pull him roughly against me, kissing him back with my own fire- my own need for him. I push him back a bit to rip his shirt off, and almost instantly we reconnect our lips once it's over his head. I run my hands down his back and then up his chest. He shivers. His hand finds the hem of my top and he inches it up my stomach, over my now bare breasts and over my head. He kisses me again and I turn us over. I press my lips hard against his as I lean over him and push my hands up his chest. I feel him, his abs and chest, and then massage his shoulders. I slide my hands down his arms and I lace my fingers with his. Our bare chests are touching, mine on top of his.
Zach's mouth moves with mine and our breaths mingle. I pull away, gently, from his soft, warm lips to look at him. His eyes open slowly, a fire burning in them. He gives me a goofy grin along with a sly wink that immediately heat me up. He lifts his hips and I moan quietly, moving against him. I sit up, on my knees, and pull his sweatpants down. As soon as I throw them to the floor, Zach is pulling me back down. He flips us over and hovers above me. He kisses me slowly and passionately and I purposely bite his lower lip. I let my tongue glide over it, and then I full on kiss him. I guide one of his hands to the band of my pajama shorts and lift my hips off the bed. With one hand, he lowers them, and then pulls them off. He nudges my legs apart, and then slowly- teasingly- takes off my panties. He gives me a light kiss just below my stomach, and then proceeds to kiss his way up. I start to pull of his boxers, and with his help, get them all the way off. I wrap my legs around his waist and lift my head to capture his lips. He slides into me, slowly at first. He moves a little faster, in and out. We move leisurely together, meeting thrust for thrust, enjoying the feeling of our bodies coming together- becoming one. I sigh and moan his name as he groans and breathes out mine. I give him a kiss in the crook of his neck as we increase our pace the tiniest bit. We move faster and faster as we near our orgasm, our bodies colliding and our breathing heavy.
We come down together and lay next to each other. We kiss, and with my eyes still closed as I pull away, I whisper to him, "I love you."
"I love you, too." He whispers back.
"We're going out later tonight." Says Zach as he sways our arms back and forth, on our way to the park.
"Where to?" I ask.
"Surprise."
"Again?" I raise an eyebrow.
"What? I like surprising you, even if last night's movie wasn't much of an 'oh my gawd' type." He mocked. I laugh at him.
"I enjoyed it."
"I know. I could tell." He smiles at me and I smile back.
"I call dibs on the red swing!" I yell and let go of his hand, running towards my swing.
"Hey! But- oh, I'll just take the blue one…" Zach mumbles behind me. I sit on the swing and stick my tongue out at him.
"So what am I supposed to wear tonight? Fancy, casual-fancy, casual, flowy… Give me a hint here." I ask him.
"Flowy, casual… doesn't matter. You can wear flip-flops, so if that helps…" He answers.
"Alrighty." We swing in silence. I smile to myself as I feel like being a little more childish. I push myself to go higher. "I'm swinging higher than you!"
"You little- oh, you're on, babe!" He smirks at me and I wink at him.
"Whoever can jump the farthest wins. No cheating."
"Bring it."
Well... that's the end of the chapter. :-)
Can anybody guess where Zach's taking her?
Thank-you to wittykittylizzyie, for the date idea!
Next chapter should be next week. If anybody wants to talk or give ideas or anything- topic Chapter 21 on the MNM (my neighbor maybe- just thought of the abbreviation) forum.
