More than a night (Zak Bagans x Reader) (ON HOLD)

Chapter 17: Hush

When (Y/N) was driving out of the street, she decided to do something she wouldn't have expected of herself. Calling Zak? yup indeed.

"Hey Zak. how are you?" She asked casually already driving towards his place.

"I'm doing okay I guess. What about yo- Wait are you driving?"

"Maybe I am? But does it Mather?"

"Uhm yes it does? I mean, what if you crash or something?"

"Don't worry about it. Hey what I wanted to ask... Are you home right now? I really need to talk to someone at this point. And I don't want to bother anyone who I have bothered before?" She asked with desperation in her voice.

"So you come to me? As last choice? Awchh that did hurt."

"HaHa Zak, very funny. Now can I come over or not?"

"Uhm yes of course. Planning to stay over for dinner or?"

"If it doesn't matter to you, gladly."

"Alright, that will be cooking for two then. See you over... How many minutes?"

"Maybe over 30 minutes, but don't bother. I'm really not that hungry so."

"No,no Please I insist. See you then."

"K. Bye."

Zak was almost finished with the food when the doorbell rang. Setting everything on a low heat he went to open the door. He passed the mirror and looked if his hair looked okay before letting the bell ring a second time and opening the front door. 

"Hey (Y/N). Welcome, please make yourself at home." Zak stated, stretching his arms out to take her coat of her shoulders. (Y/N) thought about it for a minute and just went with it. He is trying to be a gentlemen. Nothing wrong with that right?

"Thanks Zak, I appreciate that. Even more that you want me in right now. I mean, I really didn't want to interrupt your free time." 

"Really it is nothing! I'm glad you came over. It kind of sucks to eat alone."

"No lady to keep you warm at the moment?"

"No... Not really. But I am not really looking to be honest." Zak confirmed. Of course he didn't. He didn't need to be looking when he already found what he needed. Their conversation moved on to the kitchen, where Zak was stirring some more in the food before wanting to serve it.

"Hey, I thought you had a dog? Can I see her or him?" (Y/N) asked. Zak laughed at it. She was acting like a little child. But not in a bad way or anything. In the cute version he thought.

"I need to disappoint you, but Gracie is not in today. She is with my mother at the moment. It is only me here. You like dogs?" He asked the last part out of curiosity.

"Of course! But to be honest, I think that people don't deserve them. They are probably the most reliable partners out there. If you see how some treat them, it makes my hearth ache." She stated calm.

As Zak wanted to reply on how right she was with her statement, a loud growl interrupted it. Not a demonic one, one from (Y/N) her stomach.

"I thought you said you weren't so hungry?" He laughed. But no the food was not ready. Maybe ten more minutes. That alone was enough for Zak to think of something else. He didn't saw the harm in it. 

Well not at this point. He didn't knew about the relation between her and Nick. But why should he even care? It wasn't his problem.

"You are free to go and sit in the living room? I mean it still needs te be cooked a bit and it is probably a bit more comfortable than here. I'll get you something to drink."

"Alright, just some water will be fine." She said and hopped of the counter. Zak following soon after with two glasses of wine. Even if she said that water was okay with her.

"Here." Zak said and passed her a glass.

"I thought I said water was fine?"

"I thought you could use something stronger because you seemed upset when we called. You know, you can tell me."

"I... Thanks for the wine. But it's just, I kinda got into-" (Y/N) started but soon took a sip of her wine. Zak his eyes glued on her eyes and lips, only shifting between them when he knew she was looking directly at him.

"Calm down with that. But you know, you can tell me later. What do you think about this. We eat, and go out, I mean, going to a bar or something. They may have some stronger stuff to go with your story. I mean. This is really the most strongest stuff I got here in house."

She only nodded with a smile. Grateful for Zak at the moment. A great friend if she may say.

"Take it easy alright, I'm going to look to our dinner." Zak left and went to the kitchen, only to return with a spoon of sauce. A taster (like we say in Belgium. I dunno if it is a thing in English speaking countries ://))

"Here taste this. Tell me what you think if it needs more spice or anything." Zak held the spoon to her lips and she accepted. 

A faint moan left her lips, while her stomach growled for more. A faint line of the sauce, went leaking to the corner of her lips. And of course Zak took a notice of it. Since (Y/N) was being busy with liking the food.

Zak cleaned the little stroke with his thumb and going over her lips.

After realizing what he was doing, he didn't back off, he only looked to her lips and making that noticeable shift between that and her eyes. (Y/N) her heart was beating. Not only of guilt, but also the beating heart of excitement. This is what she always wanted in some way.

But She was loyal. She always told herself to never touch a married man and being loyal. Never the one to cheat.

So when Zak began leaning closer, to do what he wanted to do for a while now, (Y/N) snapped out of it.

"Where is the bathroom Zak?"

Zak couched and retreated, awkwardly scratching his neck and answering her question while she already stood up.

"Down the hall to the left. First door at the end.

A/N: sorrryyyyy for the late update :(( A lot of school work and more work at my workplace. The thing is that your boss can stay in one store for around 2-3 years and then needs to move to a new region. Well he left. His time came and that is sad, he helped me with everything and literally became one of my best friends. There is only a 10 year difference what makes us the closest of all my co workers. He was one of the few who knew how bad things go sometimes at home. So you know. It's hard when he is not close Anymore. But I MAY ALWAYS CALL AND TEXT HIM. Not too much tho, he already got a beating from his wife about texting with me. 

Not understandable tho, it was clear we were talking about our fav video games xD.
