I turned over and put my hand on Zak's chest, but felt something odd and it was cold. I opened my eyes to find him gone
Where is he? I thought
just then I heard the shower start and I smiled and turned back over and faced the windows and I winced a little when I moved my legs
What else did he do to me lastnight? Well whatever he did it felt... I thought
I then felt the bed sink in alittle. So I sat up and had the covers wrapped around my chest and looked
"What the..." I said looking confused
then I heard the bathroom door open
"Zak?"
"Yeah" he said and came in with only a towel wrapped around his waist
I just stared at him, his hair still damp, some drops of water that he missed ran down from his neck to his chest
"Candy?"
"Huh?" I asked still in a trance
He smirked and started coming closer. When he was by the bed he sat down and put his right hand on my cheek
"Candy what's wrong?" he asked and his smirk grew bigger as he leaned closer to my face
"So I'm guessing that wasn't you that sat on the bed a minute ago since you were in the shower?"
he then stopped leaning towards me and his smirk dropped
"No, it wasn't me"
"Well it felt like something sat on the bed"
"Just ignore it and they'll leave you alone"
"How do you expect me to ignore it Zak? I'm not used to these..." he then kissed with passion and desire and started leaning me back.
Once I was on my back he crawled on top of me and looked at me
"What?" I asked trying to catch my breath
he just shook his head and started kissing me again while running his hands down my sides and I moaned. Once his hands reached my legs he pulled them alittle so that I was closer to him and I winced and groaned in discomfort. He stopped and looked down at me with concern
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just sore"
"I'm sorry Candy" he said and got off
"It's alright, I'm just curious what the heck did you do to me?"
he only smirked
"Zak, I want to know"
"Really now?" he asked and rolled so he was on top of me again
"Zak, that doesn't mean show me" I said pushing on his chest slightly
"Then how are you suppose to know?"
"You can just tell me"
"Well first I started right here..." he said and started kissing my neck and going to my collarbone slowly
I closed my eyes and sighed contently while I ran my hands up his chest and to the back of his neck
"Then here.." he whispered huskily
he slowly started kissing towards my chest and pulling the sheet off of me slowly. Then my phone started ringing. Zak looked up and over to my phone that was on the nightstand and glared at it. I reached over and answered it
"Hello"
"Hey, how's my little sister?"
"I'm doing fine Morgan, how are you?"
"I'm doing good, so what have you been up to?"
Zak groaned in disappointment and got up to get dressed
"OH MY GOSH! Did I call at a bad time?"
"NO no no"
"Then why did I hear that?"
"Zak's just annoyed that he... has to go into the office today"
"You're at Zak's house?"
"Yeah" I said slowly
"I still can't believe it's true"
"What?"
"You are engaged"
MOM! I thought annoyed
"Let me guess, mom told you" I said getting up and getting ready ( www. polyvore untitled_34/set?id=49033618)(take out spaces)
"Well yeah"
"I told her NOT to say anything, who else did she tell?"
"Just me and Thomas, so how is he?"
"What do you mean?" I asked and then walked down the stairs and found Zak on the computer tweeting
I swear his obsessed with that website I thought rolling my eyes
"Morgan I don't know what you're talking about"
"Don't play dumb, how is he in bed?"
That's alittle blunt to be asking I thought
"MORGAN! That's none of your business" I said while makng me some toast
"I'm just curious on how my ex boyfriend is"
"What?" I asked confused
"Candice, I'm going to be truthful...We never done anything like that, I just told you that years ago because I was jealous that you were crushing on him while we were dating"
I had tears in my eyes and different emotions running through me, angry because my own sister lied to me like that, relieved that they didn't do anything, bad for crushing on him when he was dating my sister, and other emtions.
"Candice...I'm sorry, will you forgive me?"
I calmed myself down the best I could
"Of course I will, your my sister"
"So when's the wedding?"
"In about 3 months, so I've got time to plan"
"Not much time, don't be holding it off until the last minute or you won't be able to get the things you want"
"Trust me I know, look at your wedding, it was almost a disaster cause you kept putting it off"
"Yeah, but I got it didn't I?"
"Barely" I said and buttered my toast
I took a bite and then felt hands go around my waist and I leaned back into the embrace
"What colors are you going to have?"
"Morgan, I don't know yet... All I know is the wedding's going to be held in the Fall so Fall colors" I said getting annoyed
"Hi Morgan" Zak said
"HI ZAK!" she yelled and I had to pull the phone away before she made me deaf
Zak just chuckled and kissed the side of my head and got a cup of coffee
"Morgan, can we not screech in my ear?"
"Sorry sis, well I've got to go"
"Ok"
"TTYL"
"You too" I said shaking my head
we then hung up. I finished up my toast and Zak said
"Ready to go?"
"I guess"
we then left the house and went to the office
"Oh! I almost forgot we're going to the animal shelter later"
I looked at him with a 'You know I hate that place' look. Seeing all of the animals caged up and the look of hurt in there eyes practically killed me inside. We then arrived at the office and went inside
"Good morning Mr. Bagans..."
the receptionist looked at me
"And Ms. Wilson" she said and glared at me
"Morning" we said at the same time and went to the elevator.
Once on the elevator I went to the back left corner and Zak followed me and stood infront of me
"What are you doing?" I asked raising my eyebrow
"Standing"
"I see that...Why there though?"
"So no one can see..."
"See what?" I asked confused
he then kissed me and I pushed on his chest lighty. He smirked into the kiss and I finally broke the kiss
"Zak...Really?"
"What?" he asked innocently
I just smiled and shook my head. Then the elevator squeaked and roughly stopped
"One of these days this thing is going to get stuck inbetween a floor"
and the doors opened
"Don't jynx it Candy" we then walked out and headed towards the office
"I'm not I'm just stating the obvious"
"What obvious?"
We turned to the left and saw Aaron coming out from the bathroom and coming towards us
"That elevator's going to stop working one of these days"
"It stopped the other day"
"How do you know?" I asked
"Frank told me"
we then entered the office
"Finally you two got here" Nick said with his arms crossed
"Morning to you to Nick" Zak said
"So where's the next location?" Nick asked
Zak chuckled and smirked
"I don't like the sound of that" Aaron said with a worried look
"We're going to return to Linda Vista" Zak
I looked at Nick and his face was priceless. His mouth hung open slightly, eyes wide and his hands fell to his sides
"So you do remember the place that scared the living hell out of you" Zak said taunting him
"Who wouldn't?" Nick asked
Zak then went to the computer and pulled something up
"What ya doing?" Aaron asked
"I'm going to show Candy some footage from the place, so she knows what to expect"
Nick stood there in thought for a few seconds
"Zak I know what you're doing"
Zak looked at him and smirked
"Now would I do a thing like that?"
Fighting like brothers I thought while smiling
"Yes you would"
I then sat down next to Zak and he played the clip
"And your camera was the only one working?" I asked looking at Zak
"Yeah... And I find it kind of strange that my camera was the only one working"
"What did you see Nick?" I asked now looking at him
"I saw a lady standing there and she had one this white gown and she looked straight into my eyes"
"And you've never seen anything like that before?"
"No and when I still think about it or see the footage it still gives me chills"
"When are we leaving?" Aaron asked
"We need to be at the airport about 9 in the morning, so we can get through all of the security, then pick the tickets up, and then be ready for our flight that leaves at 11" Zak answered
"So that means we need to be ready by 8:30" I said
"Yep and that means Aaron, you HAVE to be ready" Zak said and got up
"And you know what else?" I asked
"What?" the guys said at the same time
"That also means someone's sleeping alone tonight"
Nick and Aaron laughed at Zak as he pouted
"Why?" he asked
"Because I would like to get sleep and I can't really get any sleep if you're trying to seduce me"
"I..."
"AND because of your unseen guests in your house"
"Fine, I'll give you that one"
Then Nick's phone started ringing
"I guess my wife needs me"
"Alright, tell her I said hi" I said
"I will, bye Candy"
he then left
"I guess that means I need to check all the equipment?"
"That would be nice Aaron...Candy ready to go?" Zak said
"Where are you two going?"
"The animal shelter" I said unenthused
Aaron chuckled and said
"Have fun Candy"
and I sarcasically laughed
"See ya later Aaron" I said
and me and Zak left the building and headed to the animal shelter. 35 minutes later we arrived there and went inside
"Good to see you again Zak"
"Nice to see you too"
"And who's this?" the guy said
"I'm Candice Wilson, I work with Zak" I said extending my hand
"Nice to meet you Candice, I'm Richard Barnes I'm the CEO of the animal shelter" he said shakng my hand
"So Zak, why are we here exactly?" I asked
"Helping out"
"Well, I'll let you guys look around"
"Alright"
Richard then left and Zak took me to the section where the dogs were
"Why are we going to the dogs? I want to go see the cats" I pouted
"We'll go see the cats after I pick out a dog"
"What gender?"
He just shrugged
"What breed?"
He shugged again and opened the door and we went inside the 'play room' for dogs. Once I entered 2 dogs came up to me, one looked like a Golden Retriever mix and the other one you couldn't make out the breed because it had so many put together
"Hey you 2" I said bending down at petting them
Zak went off and played with some of the dogs and I backed up to the door and left
On to the cats since I know he'll forget I thought
I walked to the 'kitty play room'. Once I was there I went inside the room and when I closed the door a cat that had black and white came and rubbed against my leg. I bent down and pet the cat and then walked to a chair that was in the room to sit down. Once I sat down a callico came to me and I saw a pink stick with a feather and a bell attached to it right by me so I picked it up and started playing with the cat. A couple of minutes later a solid white cat jumped on the table and climbed on my shoulders and layed down
"Hey sweetie" I said while petting her on the head with my left hand
and as soon as I done that she started purring and rubbing her head against my hand
Then I heard a tap on the glass door and I looked to see Zak, then he came in
"Having fun" he said and came to me
"Yep, she's a sweetheart" I said rubbing the cat's head that was still on my shoulders
"You want her don't you?"
I sighed
"Zak, I want all the animals in here...but if I had to choose one, I'd choose her, there's just something about her...I don't know if it's because she's solid white with those blue eyes..."
"You've never seen a cat with blue eyes?"
"Yes, just not a solid white one, I usually see them with green eyes"
Zak stood there for a few minutes and then said
"Are you going to get her?"
"But I wouldn't have time for her with all of the traveling though"
"Of course you would" he said smiling
I looked at him and then I looked at the cat and she meowed. That took the cake, she sounded like an angel
"You two win" I said closing my eyes
she then got off my shoulders and I got up and walked with Zak and she followed. Zak took me to Richard's office so I could do all of the appropriate paperwork that was needed to take her home and keep her. When I was done Richard took me to the supply room
"Which collar would you like for her?"
I looked at them
"I'll take that one" I said pointing to the collar that was a light pink with a bell and rhinestones
"Alright and I'll give you some catfood, cat litter, and the only thing that you'll have to get is a litter box"
"Actually I already have one, it's brand new"
"That's a bonus"
he then handed me the supplies and went and went to go get the cat. He then came back with her in a light pink cat crate
"Thank you"
"No thank you" he said
I then went to the front to find Zak and a large dog that was black and white waiting for me
"Ready?"
"Yeah, she's cute, what's her name?"
"Gracie, what'd you name the cat?"
"I don't know yet, I've got a couple of names picked out...Winter, because she's white and her eyes are like an icy blue...Or Angel, because her meow sounds sweet"
"Angel or Winter...believe it or not but I like them both"
"You're alot of help" I said sarcastically
"Ready?"
"Yeah"
we then walked out to his car and put the animals in and then got in and headed to his house. 35 minutes later we arrived at his house
"I'll see you later Zak, I've got to show her her new home" I said and put the cat in the car and the supplies
"Ok"
I opened my door and I was about to get in but Zak grabbed my left wrist lightly. I looked up
"Huh?"
"Aren't you forgetting something?"
"I don't think so"
"Candy"
"What?"
he then kissed me on the lips lovingly
"That's what I forgot...sorry" I said and smiled innocently
"I'll forgive you this time, but next time I won't be so forgiving" he said smirking
"Yeah, yeah...See you later" I said and kissed him and then got in
once I was in the car Zak shut the door and I started the car and took off to my house with my new pet.
