Authors Note: Hey guys. I'm soooooo sorry for the huge gap in updating. As usual, I haven't been feeling well, struggling with health/emotional stuff, etc. I had hoped to have more chapters the next time I updated, but I figure at this rate, one chapter is better than nothing.

Enjoy!

Chapter 107: Zak's Turn

Alicia's Point of View

After a few brief moments of kissing, I had gently pulled back, but only enough so that I could rest my forehead against Zak's. I saw him smile before he contentedly closed his eyes. I smiled myself before closing my own eyes.

As we sat there with our arms wrapped around each other, I let my thoughts wander to the immense relief I was feeling that, once again, we were able to work things out. After the events of the previous night, I really had no intention of leaving him, but I was afraid he would push me away for my own safety. But in all actuality, I felt safer when I was with him, as confusing as that may sound.

However, I was a little worried about how – and when – I'd be able to return to his house. I didn't want to make things worse by being afraid of going back, but I had to admit, I was afraid.

Before I could dwell too much on the subject, Zak interrupted my thoughts by gently pulling his head back from mine to look at me.

I opened my eyes to look back at him.

"So, what shall we do now?" Zak asked softly. "Do you want to go out somewhere and celebrate?" Zak added.

I was surprised by his thoughtfulness.

"Because we've known each other six months? Really?" I asked in surprise, with a smile on my face. "I thought that only existed with dating milestones," I added.

Zak smiled at me as I felt his arms gently squeeze me.

"Six months of knowing you is definitely worth celebrating..." Zak replied softly, completely serious.

Oh my...

I could my heart beating faster.

"You're so sweet..." I said softly, feeling a bit shy, but also a bit misty eyed.

Zak smiled a bit to one side as he leaned foreword and lightly kissed my forehead before pulling back.

"Shhh, don't tell anyone," Zak joked, causing me to laugh quietly.

"I won't," I promised, which caused Zak to smile.

"Good, it's bad enough that any evil spirits that haunt me are probably rolling over in their graves at my sappy attitude as of late," Zak teased, causing me to laugh, despite the events that took place the night before with one of the so called "evil spirits".

"Well too bad for them, I like sappy Zak," I teased, gently squeezing him with my arms, and Zak's face was practically beaming.

"So...what do you think?" Zak asked, referring back to his question of celebrating.

I glanced at a clock on my wall and saw that it was 10:45am. I suppose we could go out for an early lunch or something, but if I was going to be honest with myself, I was really tired from the last night, on top of not having slept very well.

"As much as I would love to...I'm really tired," I started, hoping I wouldn't hurt Zak's feelings.

"That's okay doll," Zak said, giving me a reassuring squeeze with his arms. "Maybe we could do something later after you rest for a bit? Go out somewhere? Or order in?" Zak added.
