No one has to know.
Fourteen: Your love surrounds me like a waterfall.
To be honest I felt shitty, I had a headache, my muscles ached and I didn’t want to get out of bed. But I knew that I had to surface eventually because otherwise Zacky would come looking for me thinking that I’d died.
As if right on que the door opened and Zacky’s face appeared.
“Afternoon” He said
“Ugh how long’ve I been asleep?”
“It’s two thirty” He said coming in and setting a mug down on the bedside cabinet and sitting down on the bed next to me. I sighed.
“I’m sorry”
“It’s okay you were just enjoying yourself”
“Yeah, but that’s twice now and I… I made a promise”
“Babe you can’t punish yourself forever” He said reaching out and stroking my hair.
“Mmm, I just feel shitty when you’re taking care of me like when… yeah”
“You know I’ll always take care of you” He smiled gently “You always take care of me when I’m drunk or sick”
“Yeah I suppose”
“C’mere” He said making me sit up and pulling me into a hug, he buried his face in my neck and squeezed me tight “ Don’t beat yourself up about it” He said “Now you said last night that you wanted to go out today”
“Ugh fuck what I said last night I feel shitty” I whined
“Movie day?”
“Mmm sounds good” I sighed and rolled onto my back so that I was looking at the ceiling.
“C’mon then” He stood up and left the room, I changed into some sweat pants and a tank top, I let my hair fall loose around my shoulders and went through to the living room, I knew we had a shit load of food seeing as we only went grocery shopping a few days before hand, Zacky appeared through the door already eating his way through a bag of ruffles, he held it out to me and I took it, he disappeared and returned a moment later with a two litre bottle of soda and more shit for us to eat.
Obviously being the Bruce Willis nerd that I am I stuck Die Hard on and I could almost hear Zacky roll his eyes, but he didn’t say anything.
We watched that through and then he stuck on fantastic 4, when I questioned him about it he told me he though Jessica Alba was hot and he wouldn’t mind seeing her in the lycra. I’m sure he heard me roll my eyes.
About halfway through it I shifted so that I was leaning against Zacky, and I think I fell asleep pretty soon after that because I woke up in my bed at nine forty seven PM. I could still hear the TV making noise in the lounge so I got out of bed and went through into the kitchen.
“Mason called” Zacky said
“When?”
“Bout’ an hour ago, said I’d tell you that he called”
“Okay ta, I’ll go call him now”
“Mkay” He didn’t even turn around. He was being weird.
I found my cell phone and dialled Mason’s number. He picked up on the third ring.
“ Hi baby” He said, I got a weird feeling in my stomach when he said that, no one’s ever called me that, the closest thing I get to ‘baby’ is when Zacky calls me ‘babe’ on the odd occasion.
“Hey Mason”
“ I called you earlier but Zack said you were sleeping ”
“Yeah sorry just a little bit hung over from last night, and I fell asleep on the couch so he put me to bed”
“ Okay…” He was silent for a moment “ So I wanted to know if I could see you some time again soon?”
“Sure I’d like that, I can’t do tomorrow because we’re all going to the water park … wait actually why don’t you come with us?” I asked.
“ Pass up the chance to see you in a bathing suit? Are you insane? Of course I’ll be there ”
“I’m really nothing special to look at” I couldn’t help but blush though.
“ Well I’ll be the judge of that tomorrow, what time should I come over?”
“About eleven?”
“ Okay sounds good, I’ll see you then”
“Bye Mason”
“ Bye gorgeous ”
I hung up before I could say something retarded. I went back into the living room where Zacky was now sprawled across the couch.
“I invited Mason to come with us tomorrow”
“Cool” He said half-heartedly, staring at the moving pictures on the TV screen.
“What’s up with you eh?” I asked sitting down, putting his legs on my lap.
“It’s nothing you need to worry about” He said quietly.
“If you’re upset then I do, did I do something?”
“No Riles you haven’t done anything, I just…”
“What?”
“I think…”
“You think what Zacky”
“Don’t bite my head of okay?”
“Okay”
“I don’t trust this Mason guy, I mean, the only times I’ve seen him he’s had you pressed up against the door with his tongue down your throat and his hands going everywhere” He wasn’t looking at me “Call me old fashioned but I don’t think that’s the proper way to start a relationship with someone, has he even asked you to be his girlfriend yet?”
“I think it’s a little early on for that”
“Yet you do all of the above?”
“It’s a lot harder for me to have a relationship you know”
“I know that I just don’t want to see you get hurt again”
“Don’t treat me like some fragile case Zacky, I’m a big girl I can look after myself”
“I’m not treating you like that I just want you to be safe, do you have any idea how much it hurt to see you so broken, to watch you destroy yourself like you did”
“It wasn’t my fault”
“No it wasn’t but you can understand why I’m wary of him?”
“I suppose so”
“Thank you”
“Well you can meet him properly tomorrow when we all go to the water park”
“Okay”
As if right on que the door opened and Zacky’s face appeared.
