Chapter 20....... IN PROGRESS!
We went to my room and shut the door. I could hear the ooh's and ahh's from Ike and Taylor down the hallway. God they could be so annoying! All they ever thought about was sex, sex, sex! Not that I could say much, considering all I could think about when Kim touched me was how much I wanted to be with her. At night I would watch her sleep sometimes. She looked so sweet, like an Angel. Things were going so fast, but I didn't care. I knew I couldn't be without her. I knew that now, and I was truly in love with her. My first true love, and I felt great. Better than great, I felt special and truly blessed. Love was a beautiful thing.
But then again, the next day would be awful, she would be leaving! I hated to even think about it. She walked over to me and put her arms around my waist.
"What's going on in that mind of your Zachary?" She had asked.
"Just trying NOT to think."
She sighed loudly. I figured she knew what I was trying not to think about.
"I'm sorry Zac, but I'll be back. We'll be together again, you said so." She reminded me.
"I know Kim, but I just don't want you to leave me. I want you to stay here."
I put on the best pout that I could muster. She rolled her eyes at me and grabbed my face into her hands.
"I love you." She smiled and kissed my lips gently.
"I love you too, so much." I whispered against her lips. "So, what do we do now? I'm not hungry, so dinner is out of the question. I want to spend as much time with you as I can."
"Well, I have to send an e-mail to my parents. Just gotta let them know that I'll be on my way home tomorrow."
She sat down at the computer and typed out a letter to her parents, I sat next to her in silence. Why did I feel like my heart was being tugged out my chest?
"Oh crap!" She gasped.
"What? What happened?"
"We're....... on the Internet." She said quietly.
"What? Where?" I asked again, looking over her shoulder.
Sure enough, there was a picture of us together. The day we had picked her up at the airport. We were embracing each other tightly with Taylor and my mother standing by us. The caption on the picture caught my eye. 'MMM-Bye, One Hanson off the Market!'
"I'm so sorry Zac. I never meant for this to happened."
"Baby, it's not your fault. People would have found out about us sooner or later anyway. Really, this changes nothing." I tried to reassure her. Not even this was going to change the way I felt for her, tabloids and press...... none of that mattered!
"Well, I just don't want any of your fans to freak out."
"Don't worry about that now. I'll make it official at our next interview. Set the record straight, and then we won't have to hide or anything. I'll fix it."
"Have I told you how much I adore you?" She asked me.
"Yes, but I never get tired of hearing it." I laughed.
"You're such a geek." She smiled.
"Geek!? What are you talking about? I'm awesome and irresistable, and you KNOW it!"
"Yeah, I know it. And I also know that we should go tell your family that we've been found out."
"I think you're right. Come on, it's better to get it out of the way now." I sighed and grabbed her hand.
We walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. Mom and dad were sitting there with Zoe, Mack and Avie.
"Mom, where's Tay, Ike and Jess?"
"Upstairs I think. Why?" She asked. "Is everything alright?"
"Yeah, everything is fine. But we all need to talk."
"I'll get them." Mack smiled.
Mackie left the room and hollered for the others. I could fear footsteps coming down the stairs and they all walked back into the kitchen.
"What's the problem?" Isaac asked looking over at Kim and I.
"No problems. I just wanted to let you all know that Kim and I are in the press already. Well, what the press thinks they know anyway. There's a picture of us from the airport going around and everyone's buzzing about it. I just wanted to give you all a heads up." I smiled.
"Sure Zac, no worries. So are you both ok? Everything's peachy?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah, things are fine. We're gonna go hang out though, before she has to leave in the morning."
"Ok, have fun you two." Dad smiled.
My family were some of the best people alive! They always understood me, or at least tried. If only there was a way to get Kim to stay.............
Go Home?
Or go to the next chapter?
