Time Goes On

~ CHAPTER 8 ~

The next day, Zac woke me and took me to a diner for breakfast. We spent the morning at the lake and then drove to a small grocery store where we bought some snack foods and we had a picnic in the park. After a walk around the nearly deserted park, we went to a movie. That's where it happened. Suddenly a young girl approached us and quietly asked "Are you Zac Hanson?" Zac glanced at me and then putting a finger over his lips he nodded. She apparently didn't catch his attempt to keep her quiet because she screamed out "Oh My God! It's Zac Hanson!" We were rushed by a group of at least 8 girls I guessed to be around 14 years old. They were screaming and shoving paper at him for his autograph. Most of them just gave me a death glare but one kept asking me questions over and over and between about 15 questions she managed to get "Are you Zac's girlfriend?" in the mix a total of five times. I just shook my head and waited until the frenzy was over.
After they all left, Zac and I went in to watch the movie. We sit quietly and the tension was growing. As we walked to the car, Zac took my hand and brought it to his lips. He gently kissed the back of my fingers and said "I'm really sorry about that. I didn't think that would happen honest." I smiled and nodded as he opened the car door. We then drove back to my house after picking up some dinner and sat in the living room eating and watching TV. We were tired but had talked and laughed a lot throughout the day. After a few moments of silence, I asked "Zac, what's gonna happen with your music?" He just shrugged and said "We're trying to figure it out." After dinner, Zac gave me a quick kiss and hug and then left. I then washed off my makeup and brushed my teeth and hair then went to bed.
Over the next week, Zac came over several times and helped me with something and twice I spent the day at their house, listening to some new songs, helping Diana with the kids and just watching TV. Zac took me to the doctor that Monday and my stitches had been taken out. The doctor warned me however that I didn't need to be straining my hand by trying to open anymore paint cans.
I had dinner with Zac twice that week and had seen another movie (Without interruption) That weekend, after spending the day together again, he'd come over to my house and ordered pizza and had brought a movie. (We'd tried watching it at his house but the kids were running around and we'd finally given up.) After the movie and dinner, he left and I had taken a shower.
I had fallen asleep on the couch watching the news. I heard a knock on my door and I wasn't sure if it was a dream or not but before I could open my eyes I felt a gentle shake on my knee. I slowly rolled completely on my back and opened my eyes. "Zac? What time is it?" I asked rubbing my eyes and trying to focus.
He sat on the edge of the couch and rubbed my arm answering "It's about 4:30 in the morning. I'm sorry to wake you." By this time I was sitting up. I looked at him as he smiled. "It's ok. Is anything wrong?" I asked, taking a drink from my bottle of water on the table. He shook his head and said "I just couldn't sleep. I tried but I couldn't fall asleep. I kept thinking..." his voice trailed off. "About what?" I asked, stretching. "What is it Zac?" He looked at me and laughed slightly. I smiled still unaware of what he was trying to say. "Melissa," he turned toward me and took my hands, slowly rubbing his face against them he continued. "From the first time I ever saw you, you have been the only thing I can think about. I can't sleep anymore and being around you, seeing you smile and hearing your laugh and voice, always makes my heart race. I feel like I'm falling in love with you and I need to know if I have a chance with you or if I'm bound for another heartbreak."
I started at him, unable to speak as I tried to take in everything that he had said. I looked away as my mind raced with my heartbeat. I felt the same way about him. I'd thought of him constantly and had asked myself the same questions he was asking me now. Honestly though, could I answer the question. Yes, he had a chance with me. I wanted to be with him so badly and yet I knew I could never promise no heartbreak. I couldn't see the future.
"Zac, I have never been so happy with anybody. You have been so kind and funny and I really like you. I want us to have a chance but you have to understand that I can't make promises. I can't see ahead of now and although I'd never try to hurt you, I can't promise I won't. I can only promise I won't hurt you on purpose."
He smiled and kissed my hands. He brushed hair out of my face and said "That's all I want. That's all I can promise too. Oh God, Melissa, you are so beautiful. C'mere." He opened his arms and I leaned in and hugged him. We leaned back on the couch and he began twisting my hair around his fingers. We talked quietly for a little while about our past relationships. His arms were strong and his skin was warm. I looked up and he leaned down and kissed my forehead. I put my arm around his neck as he kissed my face. His kisses were soft and gentle.
He stopped for a moment between each one as if waiting to see if I'd push him away, but I didn't. I embraced him more with each brush of his lips on my face. He began kissing my lips, softly at first then harder. He slid his hand up from my knee to my thigh and then his arm wrapped around my waist. The kisses became more hurried and demanded as he pulled me closer and began gripping my back as his hands slid up and down from my shoulders to my waist.
Suddenly, he stopped and looked at me for a moment. He gently brushed hair away from my neck and leaned down. I bit my bottom lip as I felt his hot breath on the side of my neck. He kissed, gently at first and as my grip tightened, he kissed more passionately. I felt his tongue touch my neck for a moment between his lips with each kiss. I leaned my head to the side and against the back of the couch. He kissed harder but never too hard. My finger nails dug into his back as I felt his tongue lick from the bottom of my neck, slowly gliding to my ear. He kissed from my earlobe to the top and then kissed my temple. He then kissed from the top of my ear back to the bottom where he took my earlobe and began sucking very lightly, sending chills down my back. He gently bit down and then kissed my neck a few times before making his way around to my lips again. As I felt his lips touch mine. His hand slid up my back and around to my neck. His thumb rested on my chin for a moment. Then he pulled away. He looked at me for a moment and kissed my forehead, then my cheeks, then my eyes and once on my lips again.
He then pulled away just an inch or two from my face and I felt his thumb press on my chin as my lips parted. He stared at my lips as he traced them with his index finger. Then leaned in for another kiss. As his lips touched mine, I felt his tongue slide into my mouth. I returned his kiss and after a moment, it became deeper and more passionate. He pulled me closer and then moved away from my mouth to kiss the other side of neck. Doing the same kissing, licking and sucking he'd done to the opposite side. I slowly slid my hands up his shirt and pulled it up. He moved away from my neck and lifted his arms as I pulled his shirt over his head. He then kissed my lips again and this time was more hurried and hungry. He began to lift my shirt, pulling away just long enough to pull my shirt over my head, then he began to kiss me again.
I then gently pushed on his chest. He tensed and took my earlobe into his mouth. Gently biting down he whispered "Melissa, please. Please don't make me stop baby." I giggled and whispered "I won't but you know something?" He raised his head and continued to kiss my face as I finished "I do have a bed." He pulled away and smiled a sly and somewhat embarrassed smile. Slowly he stood up, pulling me up with him. He had his arms around me and we continued to kiss as I let him lead me to my bedroom. Once inside, he closed the door and as I stood facing him, he walked toward me as I walked backwards until I was forced to sit down after my legs hit the side of my bed.
"Melissa," he said softly as he got on his knees in front of me. "Humm," I replied as I ran my fingers through his hair. "If you want me to stop, if you're not ready, please tell me now. Please tell me while I can still walk away from you."
I leaned down and kissed him."I don't want to stop and I don't ever want you to walk away from me." I kissed him again and as we kissed, without our lips pulling apart, he said "I won't baby. I need you. I want you so bad." I just whispered back "I want you, please Zac. Please don't stop." He kept replying "I won't." He slowly moved toward me, crawling up on the bed as I moved toward the center. He lay on top of me as we kissed, our hands touching each other. He got up on his knees above me and began to unbutton my shorts and pulled them off, tossing them onto the floor. He then pulled me up to him and began kissing me deeply and hurriedly as he unsnapped my bra. He grabbed my hands when I reached for the straps to pull it off and while holding my wrist, he leaned down and slid his tongue under the strap and pulled it off with his teeth. He then pushed me down and took complete control. His fingers followed his lips as he kissed from my neck down to my stomach and then back up again. He slowly flicked his tongue on my nipples between kissing my breasts.
I was unable to contain my pleasure as his hands and mouth explored my body. He then took me in both arms and rolled over on his back pulling me on top of him. I repeated his actions on himself, kissing touching, licking. His fingers were buried in my hair and he'd gently make a fist and tug my hair as he moaned. After pulling his jeans off, I pulled him back on top of me. He slid down kissing at the waistband of my panties before slowly pulling them off. He kissed my legs and then he said "Don't move." I laid still as his hands slid up my legs and pushed my knees apart. He then let one hand slid up my body to my mouth and placing his fingers on my lips whispered "Shhhh. Don't move." I closed my eyes as his hand slid between my legs. I then felt his tongue slowly licking and his hands rubbing my thighs. I jerked with a moan of pleasure and he suddenly stopped, causing me to release a breath quickly. I looked at him and he repeated "Shhhh, don't move." I felt him licking me again as his fingers dug into my hips and thighs.
It occurred to me that he knew exactly what he was doing by making me lay still and quiet. As I came closer to reaching a climax he stopped and crawled on his hands and knees over me. He smiled as he looked down at me now barely breathing, still feeling the pleasure he had just brought on me. "Oh God Zac!" I said breathlessly. He said quietly "Not yet." I moaned and begged "Please Zac." As he kissed me again he said "In a minute baby." He laid down pulling me on top of him. I slid down and pulled his boxers off while kissing him. I heard him let out a long moan as his fingers became wrapped in my hair again. I slowly kissed him on his hips and stomach. He lifted my head by gently pulling on my hair. "Baby, you know what I want. Do it." He said as he tugged on my hair. I smiled as I slid down farther and took him into my mouth. He pulled at my hair and used his other hand to lace his fingers with mine.
I knew what we were doing would be considered a sin by his parents. I somehow knew the secret would be kept for a while about the turn our relationship was taking. But I just didn't care. I wanted him and he made me feel so beautiful and wanted. He kept gently pushing my hand that he held back as he'd grip it harder. He'd rub his fingers over my head in a circle and then tug at my hair. He then let go of my hand and put his on my face, forcing my head up.
"C'mere." He slightly smiled pulling my chin upward. I slid over his body and up to his face. He then kissed me, hard and deeply. In one quick motion, he rolled on top of me and we both moaned with pleasure as he slid into me. He moved so easily and then faster and hurried as our breathing became heavier. He supported his weight on his forearms and was still kissing my neck. My hands glided up his arms to his shoulders then around his neck and back again. He stopped kissing me as his movement became faster. As I wrapped my arms around him, I could feel the muscles in his back tense. His body began to glisten in the night light by the bed as sweat covered him. He moved faster and faster until a climax hit us both at the same time. Our breathing was heavy and out of control for a moment as his weight fell onto me.
After calming and slowed breathing, he raised his head and kissed me again, this time gently and slowly. As we pulled apart, he lay his head down and buried his face into my neck. I wrapped my arms around him and we lay still for a few minutes. He then kissed my neck and rolled over on his back, taking me into his arms. We lay still and quiet until we began to drift off. I heard him whisper "Please don't ever leave me." I could only manage to reply "Umm-umm." Then we were both asleep, comfortably wrapped in a sheet and each other's arms.
