Risking it Chapter Twenty Eight
"That's crazy. How can you like brocolli?" I asked, scrunching my face in disgust as I watched Zach eat it from his plate with a fork. He dipped it in some weird sauce and I wasn't even ready to try it even though I knew it was his recipe that was cooked in the kitchen tonight."You've probably not tasted my recipe. Want to try?" he asked, bringing his fork near my mouth but I turned my head to the other side with a small laugh."No, thank you. I'm happy with my chicken wings.""You need to learn to cook food you don't like as well if you want to become a chef." He added, licking the sauce of his lips and distracting me momentarily. I want those lips on mine already. "I will, eventually maybe. Is there any food you don't like but you have cooked anyway?" I asked, curious to know more about him and I loved the way his eyes shone every time I asked him a question. We were sitting in one of the booths, eating some food while Beth and Mason were busy on the dance floor and hanging out

A Month Later,"Yes, I got the fruit instead of the canned stuff." I spoke with a laugh as I was waiting in line to pay for the groceries at the store."And the onions?""Yes, the white ones and not the red.""Perfect, see you soon then. I'm on my way already." Zach spoke before he cut the call and it couldn't wait to get home. We were going to cook together for our dinner date tonight and I was pretty excited.It has been a month since Beth's engagement party and things have never been better. Zach was being the perfect boyfriend anyone could ever ask for but sadly, we still haven't done it yet which was making me restless. He was taking things way too slow and trust me, it was a good thing but at the same time, it was hard for me to resist him. Everytime he is around, that's all I could ever think about and I don't know if he feels the same way but it has been pure torture for me so I decided to break the boundaries tonight after our dinner at my house. It's been a month and I'm pr

"How is it?" he asked, observing my reaction and I rolled my eyes at his question because it was good. He knew it was good and he didn't even need my validation yet he asked with so much concern in his eyes. Jayden may have ruined the beginning of our dinner date but I was determined to make this one memorable. Zach did all the cooking while I helped and watched him cook which was more fun and more tempting than the food itself. "I hate you, Zach. This is annoyingly good." I spoke with my mouth full of dessert, earning a deep chuckle from him and he pulled my chair closer towards him. I let out a soft gasp, not audible to him and licked my lips as I watched his every move. He made churros for dessert and easily it was my favourite now. Everything he did was becoming my favourite thing to watch or eat or do and I liked the way he was making me feel when I was with him. It was the feeling of a new love, the excitement of the first love which I somehow missed but I was grateful to exp
Risking it Chapter Thirty One
Zach's POV:The next morning, I woke up to the familiar scent of strawberries and vanilla, courtesy of Hazel's hair tickling my nostrils and I grinned widely in satisfaction. I would give up anything to wake up like this everyday and my cock became hard just at the thought of how quickly things escalated last night. The best night of my life so far!I pulled her closer to me, feeling scared that she might disappear at any moment now. The way she smuggled against my chest made me smile wider and my heart was full at that moment. I kissed her forehead and wondered how many years I had craved for this moment, to have her in my arms, to hold her, to kiss her and to make love to her like there is no tomorrow and I feel like I was on top of the world right now. I finally got the love of my life and it was absolutely worth the wait. "What time is it?" she whispered in her sleepy voice which made my cock stir again.Damn!I needed to calm the fuck down before I could overwhelm her with my
Risking it Chapter Thirty Two
Zach's POV:I had to get out of there immediately. I couldn't stand looking at his smug face for another second. I knew Hazel wouldn't do that to me but the scenario in front of me was so convincing that despite, trying to not believe it, my heart broke into a million pieces. The fact that he was in her house, shirtless devastated me to the core. I tried to stay composed and got out of her building before I could break down. I knew I had to speak with Hazel first and I shouldn't jump to conclusions but I was human after all. I walked back to my car, trying to hold back my tears. Beth called me at that exact moment and it was like she heard my cry for help. I needed her. I knew she would back me up and tell me that I was not insane to think Hazel loves me."Hey,""Where are you, dumbass? I told you I'll be late to work today. Why did you leave early?" I knew my voice would give away if I open my mouth now. I never knew I could feel so much pain. This feeling was worse than loving h
Risking it Chapter Thirty Three
I couldn't stop crying after I reached home as the pain of what Zach told was unbearable and it was even more painful because I missed him and I wanted to be with him. How did a perfect day turn out to be the worst?! I was so happy and excited to see him but everything was ruined because of Jayden. It all comes back to him always.Why the hell can't he leave me alone?I couldn't stop thinking about what Zach had mentioned in the call. He told that Jayden was inside my house shirtless but how is that possible when I wasn't even at home? Fuck! Is he stalking me?Or maybe the lock on my door is easy to pick and he simply wanted to ruin my relationship. He did see me keeping my key under the mat once. Could that be possible? As my mind was trying to come up with a logical explanation to this mess he had created, I heard the doorbell ringing. It must be Zach but I wasn't in the right state of mind to talk to him. I would just fall into his arms and hug him, forgetting about everythin

"You are kidding, right? Is this some kind of sick joke?" I asked, sitting down on the couch, my hands already shaking. My palms were starting to get all sweaty and I had to shift my phone from one hand to the other."I have no reason to joke around, Hazel. You accuse me of having an affair but did you stop to think why didn't your father say a word despite knowing about it?" I went silent and thought about all the moments when she was being candid. She used to come home late and disappear every now and then even before my dad was sick. My dad wouldn't ask her anything.Fuck, she was right. She didn't try to hid it from us."I don't get it." I whispered, feeling so lost and confused and I wished that I had Zach with me right now. I missed him. "Let me cut to the chase, your father cheated on me long before I did, Hazel and your whore of a mother died giving birth to you. Only when your dad brought you home as a baby, I knew about the affair and your existence." She explained and al
Risking it Chapter Thirty Five
I stood outside Zach's house with a nervous look on my face and licked my lips as I adjusted my clothes. I was dying to meet him while he was being a respectful boyfriend, giving me the space I needed but I was done moping around. I was ready to take control of my life instead of being sad and crying over the truth. It was already too late and I needed to figure out what's the real deal with Lisa."Okay! It's just Zach. He will be happy to see me. Stop overthinking." I whispered to myself and knocked on the door. I tried to take deep breaths and calm myself as I heard some rustling behind the door. It was way past 8 in the evening and I knew he would be at home and not at the bar. "Coming!" I heard his deep voice and instantly felt my heart swell in response. I realised that I had missed him more than I had imagined. The door swung open and I sucked in a deep breath at that exact same moment. I met his crystal blue eyes that went wide in shock, surprise, happiness all at the same tim
