Sam enters the bathroom. He looks into the mirror above his sink. He splashes some water on his face, he stairs into his own eyes in the mirror.
He gets flash backs of Zee touching his face and saying, "You should try shaving you will look more handsome," Sam opens the drawer of the cabinet under his mirror, he takes out the trimmer from the drawer, and starts trimming his beard.
Sam still feels dissatisfied with his short beard look and takes out his razer blade and his shaving foam can. He turns the can and looks at the two-year-old expiry date. He throws the foam can in the dustbin and turns on the water tap, and starts shaving with using only water.
Sam looks in the mirror and admires himself with bright eyes. He smiles and heads to shower.
Sam comes out of the shower. He gets ready and takes out his grey laptop from his bag and opens the laptop, turns it on and runs a writing software. He types, but after a typing a line he hits the delete key on the keyboard.
Sam stares at the blank white screen visualizing Zee and himself on the beach, but he can't get over Zee. Sam takes out his phone and calls Zee.
"Hello! Sam this side!"
"Good morning Sam, well how you called me today?"
"Um, why I called?" Sam moves his eyes, thinking of an answer, and his eyes halt at the suit he wore last night. "Yeah, I wanted to know when and where I can return you, your brother's suit?"
"Oh, that's not a problem, you can return it later!"
"Austin, might not like it. If you are busy then, I can come there. Where are you?"
"Right, now I am at the school teaching these kids and will leave in 20 minutes. Have a meeting with our clients in an hour but I can send my secretary to get it, don't worry."
"That would be so ungrateful of me. You send a person to pick your own thing. Wanted to thank you, but that's okay. I will return it personally to you tomorrow."
"Okay, that sounds good to me. See you tomorrow!"
"Okay bye, have a great day!"
Zee hugs up the call.
Sam keeps gazing at the mobile screen and saves her contact as "Z with a smiley emoji."
Sam gets up and runs towards his wardrobe. He puts on a black jean, grey t-shirt and a black leather jacket. He wears his favourite cologne.
Sam runs downstairs, gets in his car and drives off.
Sam parks his car in front of the school. He gets out wearing his green aviator glasses and texts Zee, "I am waiting."
Zee is leaving the school, and she reads Sam's text. She gets confused and surprised. She walks up to the road.
She notices Sam's car and walks up to the car; she looks for him but she can't recognize Sam.
Sam walks up to her and waves his hand. "It's me, Sam!"
Zee gets shocked after seeing him, "Oh, my god I couldn't recognise you, you look so handsome, nice."
"Well, thank you," Sam blushes.
"But didn't you say we will meet tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I did but, I thought you got 1 hour so, why not today?"
"Okay, so where is it?"
"In the car, but can I take you to lunch or coffee at least?"
Zee raises the right eyebrow and says, "are, you asking me for a date?"
Sam half smiles and chuckles "No, I just want to thank you!"
"Um, I am hungry so, okay!"
Sam opens the door for Zee. She gets in the car, Sam closes the door and sits on the driving seat, and drives the car.
Sam continues to look at Zee while driving. Zee was looking out of the window while enjoying her favourite music. She notices the church and prays to god, seeing her Sam prays too.
"So, you believe in god?"
"Yes, I think he is the reason we are living a beautiful life."
"Okay!"
They reach the cafe, Sam parks the car and opens the car door for Zee. Zee is happy and confused by Sam's behaviour. Sam opens the cafe door for her. Zee looks at him and enters.
Sam pulls out the chair for her, she sits on the chair. Sam takes his seat and orders, "2 cappuccinos and pastries, anything else?"
"NO, thanks!"
The order arrives, and Sam just gazes at Zee while she is having her coffee and pastries.
"What are you looking at?"
"Ugh, Nothing, hope you like it."
"Yeah, it is good, but you seem a little off!"
"Oh, I am fine, just wanted to say you look beautiful."
Zee looks at herself and laughs, "are you serious? I am wearing these baggy clothes tired face. From where do I look beautiful to you?"
"Well, clothes aren't everything. You are beautiful by heart and by looks too!"
"Okay thanks, and I'm done, let's leave."
Sam pays the bill and they leave the cafe.
Sam is driving very slow.
"Can you drive faster and where's the suit?"
Sam hits the brakes and yells "Shit, I forgot it at my place!"
"What? ugh, no problem. I will take it. tomorrow drop me at. In my office, I have a meeting. It's already 4 p.m!"
"Yeah, it's 4 and who takes meeting in the evening? I know a good place which is like an hour away. Can we have dinner together?"
Zee looks at Sam, wondering while looking at Sam's innocent and curious face.
Zee sighs and pulls out her phone and calls someone.
"Hey, Jenny, cancel all my meetings today. I am not feeling good, okay!" and hung ups the call.
Zee looks at Sam and says, "I don't like fancy places. I love street food and long walks. Let's go!"
Sam gets excited and hits the accelerator.
Sam parks the car as they reach the destination.
They get out of the car and walk through the busy streets of the city.
Sam holds Zee's hand and they roam around the street trying various Street foods like Maxian, Italian and some sizzlers. Zee is enjoying herself and Sam looks at her in awe, while having his food. Zee dances around while walking down the streets and greets everyone with a smile.
After trying various Street foods, they have ice-cream. They have a long walk to the car as Sam has parked the car far from the food joints. Zee is holding his hand and they both are living the moment as the sun sets down and moon rises.
They reach up to the car; they get in and Sam drives off the car.
Sam stops the car, Zee looks out and says "Sam, this is your place, not mine!"
Sam looks at her blankly and pants.
"Hello, you alright?"
Sam suddenly kisses Zee. She gets shocked and her eyes get wide open.
"I.. I am sorry, I didn't mean to!" Sam gets agitated.
"It's okay," Zee says in a hushed tone, and kisses Sam.
The kisses get passionate and long. Sam's hands are all over her body while Zee is holding his face. They both pull back, looking into each other's eyes while panting.
They both get out of the car and walk into the house while making out. Sam takes her to his bedroom and pushes her on the bed.
He takes off his jacket and t-shirt and gets over the bed on top of her and makes out with her; He rolls on the bed, getting her on the top.
Sam takes off Zee's t-shirt and bra, Zee hides her boobs and they both look into each other's eyes, Zee leans down to kiss her, and licks his lips while their naked body sticks to each other.
Zee slowly unbuttons Sam's jeans and as she slides her hand in his pants, Sam sees Megan's face and gets frantic.
Sam pushes Zee aways and runs out of the bedroom. She looks at him with confusion and disappointment as he leaves the room.
Zee cascades on the bed, crying.
Sam gets out of his house and runs desultorily.
Zee falls asleep while crying.
