Chereads / Orlean in New Orleans / Chapter 11 - Secret crush

Chapter 11 - Secret crush

~

{knock knock....} up stairs the sound of someone at the door was heard

{come in.... } said Zack with his back to the door, he was trying so hard to mask his nervousness

{Zack you called for me, is there any problem} asked Roosevelt the moment she stepped in to the room

turning to face her Zack froze for a little while but when he felt a hand on his forehead he snapped out of it

{beautiful!!} he motered under his breath

{what! are you alright, you don't seem to be running a temperature } Roosevelt said with a confused expression as he didn't reply to her

{I... I'm alright, don't frown you look ugly } he joked about trying to easy her worries and it worked cause the very next moment she pounced on him

{did you just call me ugly, Zack Lionel Grayson you seem to have forgotten who I am hmmmm....} she yelled at him whiles sitting on him and spanking his behind on the bed

Zack laughed out so loud

this was the reason, this was exactly why he was mesmerized by her, he loved this girl so much that he was frightened by it

Zack had known Roosevelt since their junior high school days but then he disliked her so much cause she was disrespectful, proud and sturborn, she acted like a princess whose feet's were never to touch the ground but all of those perception changed when they got into highschool, they got close due to being project partners for their history assignment. yes she was still all that but he liked her with all of her flaws

he saw the kind and simple, funny and smart, caring and crazy Roosevelt

{I am sorry, I meant you look beautiful, breath taking, gogeouse and....}

{that's enough, I don't want your fake compliments }

{my compliments aren't fake you really look good tonight} Zack argued back

Roosevelt was dressed in a V neck glittering blue gown with high A-line slit and a pair of gold heels, she had a nude make up on her face, she looked more of a celebrant than Zack who wore a demin jeans hoodie and a black pants paired with a shark bottom tide sneaker

{I don't care anymore hhmmm} she sighed

{what's wrong} he said as he sat up from the bed making her to sit on his lap

Roosevelt hugged him and complained {I spent so much time picking out an outfit for tonight but Skyler never once complimented my outfit ughhh!}

Zack looked at her trying to form the words to reply her {Roosy....}

without letting him finish she interrupted {why does he notice everyone except for me, I can't with him, Zack am I not beautiful}

{you are} he answered but he was a little upset, he knew she liked his brother and it was so frustrating

Skyler never dates innocent girls so even if he knew Roosy liked him he will never make advances towards her but Roosy never knew that fact, else she would have tried to prove to Skyler that she wasn't innocent

{what do you even know, if I have mud all over my face you will still say I am beautiful, sometimes I think you have a secret crush on me} said Roosevelt with a frustrated sigh

{you know what it is useless talking to you , let's just go down it's time to cut your cake} she stood up and pulled at him as she spoke

Zack felt all the more frustrated, how was he going to tell her about his feelings, when he knew she would never feel the same way towards him {sigh!!!}

{I got you something} he said walking to the bedside drawer, he took out a small brucade box and gave it to her

she collected it whiles complaining {who gives gift to others on his birthday, useless! just useless! }

as she opened it she gasped {wow! this is beautiful, thank you} a diamond necklace with a heart shaped pendant, the word "ROOSY" was written on it

{haha I knew you would like it} said Zack whiles laughing

who was the one that called him useless for gifting her on his birthday, now she was smiling like a little child on seeing what was inside

{why did you get me a necklace, it is so pretty, if not that I know you well, I would have thought you wanted to ask me out sigh!}

Zack was going crazy now, he actually wanted to ask her out, he had been thinking

about it for a whole two months

seeing her upset over his brother not complimenting her and the fact she shunned the idea of him liking her, he decided not to tell her anymore, at least not now

he took the necklace from her hand and put it on her neck for her

{thank you very much } she really liked the necklace, Zack was really the best

{you are welcome, now let's go down stairs} he replied dragging her out of the room....
