Chapter Part 28
Zoe had just broken into random tears of relief in front of her boyfriend. How much more embarrassing could she be? sigh. ”Better?” he asked when she pulled back. ”Yeah, sorry I cried, that was pretty dumb.” she muttered sheepishly! He shrugged.
“That’s fine but a little warming, next time would be great though,” Luke said smiling one of his most cutest smiles. She wiped the remaining tears and smiled back.
He smiled and sat up next to her, Zoe sat on his lap and kissed his lips. “I’m not mad at you but why did you want to wait?” Zoe asked. He pursed his lips before answering.
“I don’t know but I think we should have s*x when you are completely ready,” Luke muttered. ”I’m ready Luke, truly ready. I don’t know how much I can hold it but today wasn’t just the day.” she said.
He nodded, “yeah, you are much more ready than I have ever seen before! That sexy bra for instance.” Luke said and gestured to my chest, she blushed but waited for him to continue.
”I have never seen you so… So, I don’t know! Open I guess. Seriously, it was pretty hot.” Luke said the last part in a whisper, making Zoe blush more intensely. ”May I ask where you got them from?” he said pointing at her chest.
“From Cynthia Douglas boutique actually, I also bought three more,” she said in a casual tone. Luke nodded his head appreciatively. ”Cool, can’t wait to see them,” Luke said in the same tone, they stared at each other for a while before they both laughed.
Zoe leaned her forehead against his. ”When should we do it?” She asked. ”Well, probably not anytime this week, I have to go out with friends and get things done. Maybe next week? Next weekend?” Luke suggested.
Zoe thought it over. ”I’m not entirely sure, we have to make sure it is a place where we have to be entirely peaceful. And we would definitely need protection!” she added.
“I can do that,” Luke said and blushed slightly. Zoe pretended not to see what had happened as she continued! ”We should probably make sure we don’t tell anyone, so they don’t blab.” she said.
”What about, like our friends?” Derrick asked. Zoe’s eyes widened quickly.
“Absolutely no friends!” She said, ”But you are going to tell Dora and Bella?” Luke accused.
”Yeah, they are my best friends but this doesn’t count.” She said promptly but Luke was already shaking his head! “If I can’t tell my friend, you also can’t tell your friend! Especially Dora,” Luke said and Zoe glared at him with a nod.
He smiled in return. Finally, she gave up and sighed. “Fine you win, I won’t tell Dora,” Zoe said. ”Good, let’s k**s to make it official,” Luke said. She crouched down and kissed him softly, they spent the afternoon together kissing, laughing, and generally just enjoying being together.
This was what love should be like. Zoe was sincerely thankful that Luke was just the distraction she needed.
Since Zoe and Luke had finally agreed on the day they would sleep together. She has been doing her best not to worry or randomly freak out, she kept her words and hasn’t mentioned anything to Dora.
She did feel bad at first, keeping secrets from her best friend and all but when she got to school Bella and Dora seemed to be keeping something from her also. Just the way they acted gave it away, she did go to ask them what was up and they did pretend like Zoe hadn’t asked anything.
Unlike Dora. She was always talkative. They had a free period for geography class in school, the geography teacher was hit by a car and was in the hospital receiving treatment.
So, the three of them were just walking around the school just like a normal student does. It was cold but better than staying in class listening to geography.
“I wonder if that chick from biology is really pregnant,” Bella said and Zoe instantly shrugged. ”She could be? I always see her surrounded by boys of all kinds.” Dora amplifies.
”I hope she isn’t, I would feel bad if she is,” Zoe said, making them turn to stare at her. ”I mean her life is going to be ruined?” Zoe added sadly. She felt a twinge of fear for herself. What if she also gets pregnant? ”I don’t think her life will be ruined, just put school on hold for a while,” Bella said, making Dora laugh.
Dora placed her arms around her friend’s shoulder trying to make them warm. ”Yeah, I suppose!” Zoe Mumbled. ”Zoe, is something wrong with you?” Dora asked. ”You have been acting strange these days!” She added, making Bella stare at Zoe with concern.
”I should ask you guys the same question, you guys have been acting pretty strange too!” Zoe said, making Bella chew on the side of her cheeks before she looked away.
”Come on guys, you can tell me what’s wrong.” She muttered. Zoe wondered if she just looked at them staring at each other, Shit! They left her out of their discussion. This hurts! ”Will you promise not to freak out or get mad?” Bella asked, making her really nervous.
”Uhm, you have to promise.” she said a little louder. ”Okay, damn you! I promise not to freak out or get mad. happy?” she said sarcastically and they nodded. ”The reason why Dora has been acting strange was that I told her not to tell you that, I have been seeing Alex.” She admitted quietly.
”Uhm, what do you mean, seeing him quietly?” Zoe asked. ”I mean going on a date and stuff and hmm! kissing too,” she said before smiling sheepishly. Zoe’s stomach seemed to have disappeared.
It was an unpleasant kind of feeling. At first, she wanted to scream and curse at Bella and Dora but for the next second, she felt numb. They have been going out on a date and kissing behind her back. Some friends though! Bella and Dora have been watching her face closely.
Zoe made sure it didn’t show any kind of emotion. ”That’s why you guys didn’t want to tell me?” Zoe asked, feeling toneless. They both nodded before letting out a sigh of relief! They probably thought Zoe wasn’t mad at them.
”Well, it was kind of Alex’s idea. He said you would be upset if you found out, so we do have to keep it a secret!” She explained. Zoe nodded mechanically. “Alex’s idea! Great,” Zoe whispered to herself. “How long has this been going on?” She asked not wanting her voice to come out hurt.
She seems to be thinking about it for a long moment before answering. “After the first football game, he hadn’t asked me out! So, I cornered him one afternoon and asked him out on another day.” Bella said before smiling. ”Wow,” Zoe muttered.
“I know right, me asking Alex out was kind of new! I have no idea where all the confidence came from that day.” She said, shaking her head as Dora just stared at both of us. Zoe felt slightly sick.
”Alex didn’t want me to know?” Zoe asked, feeling the anger rising.
