Chereads / That Fateful Night By Renee' Stone / Chapter 7 - We Meet Again

Chapter 7 - We Meet Again

As the class was dismissed, I started packing up to go home. It's Friday and it's been a long week, I can go home and enjoy watching TV while lying on the couch. Just as I'm thinking how great that's going to be I get a phone call from Rebecca. " Hey Sis, Logans gonna stay with us tonight and eat dinner. I need you to get some groceries from Wally World okay? We're having teriyaki chicken with stir fry veggies so pick up those kinds of ingredients. Thanks, sis love you bye." Ugh, Logan's gonna be there so much for a peaceful night, I'm still figuring out how to be normal around him. Stupid Rebecca couldn't she give me a little bit more time before letting him over? Getting in my vehicle I head to Wally World. Finally arriving I find a parking space, get out of my car, and start heading inside. When I walk inside I grab a buggy and continue into the store but just my luck I run into someone with my buggy. Ugh, can this day get any worse? Looking at the stranger I hit I respond " I am so so sorry, I wasn't paying attention are you okay?" Turning to look at me the guy says " Yeah I'm okay... Annmera I finally found you "Omg I'm not dreaming right it's Zac!!!!  " Zac, How are you? I'm sorry about the buggy, are you sure you're okay?" He has the biggest grin on his face.

  Oh goodness he's too cute, I feel like my face is turning red from embarrassment but also excitement because I get to see him again. " Annmera I'm doing good, also don't worry I'm perfectly fine. See no scratches or anything haha. This must be my lucky day though because I've been trying to find you" " You have what for though?". I can't believe he was looking for me. My heart is racing fast and I'm trying to contain this smile of excitement so bad. He says " Well honestly I was trying to call you but my phone completely shattered after you left that night from the bar. I've been trying to find you ever since. Also, I have the photos from the shoot with me too. I just printed them off but I want to give you the digital copies too. So if it's not any trouble can I give you my number?" " Oh yeah it's no trouble at all. If I'm being honest I wanted to run into you again. Just didn't think it would be literal haha." His smile gets even bigger and I'm so blushing and he can tell. I can't hide the expression on my face in front of him. 

Seeing me trying to hide my face Zac calls my name " Annmera" I suddenly look up and our eyes lock. He is so close... why is he so close? Backing up a bit as my face turns redder than before I'm finally able to get words out of my mouth "Umm yeah what's up". He is looking at me so intensely that I feel my heart is about to burst. He finally speaks " Umm would it be okay if I help with your shopping? I really don't want to say goodbye yet and if it's okay can I take you out for dinner tonight?" Eyes widen in excitement I say " Yes I'd love that very much!" We walked around the store shopping and talking but it came time to check out. Honestly, I'm disappointed I couldn't stay a little longer with him. As we are walking out, He walks me to my vehicle and helps me with the groceries. This guy is a freaking gentleman, He's making it hard not to like him.

As I'm deep in thought he calls my name saying " Annmera, can I still pick you up for dinner tonight?" " YES! I-I-I I mean yeah, if you still want to".  What on earth was that? Seriously I need to calm down and breathe.  Zac lets out a chuckle saying " Okay I'll pick you up around 6?" replying to him I can't help but smile " Yeah that sounds great to me ". As we say our goodbyes at the end we say see you tonight. As I'm getting in my car starting the engine. I let out a high school girl scream! I literally rushed home after pulling out of Wally World. Finally pulling into our driveway, I grab all the groceries, put them up, and run to my room to shower and get ready for tonight. Seeing all this Rebecca comes in saying " Sis is everything okay why are you in such a rush?" Smiling so big I tell her " I ran into Zac and he asked if he could take me out to dinner tonight. So I'm trying to get a shower and figure out what to wear and do my hair plus makeup" " Okay well I guess it's just me and Logan tonight" " Oh no Becca I totally forgot! I got so excited about Zac." 

With a smile, she says " Ann it's okay besides you probably need a little more time to figure out how to act around him again and I know you've been wanting to see that Zac guy again. Go out and have fun but I want all the details when you get back tonight" " Hahah you got it, Becca".  Getting out of the shower I try finding clothes to wear and nothing is working for me until Becca comes in to save the night. Bringing me a white off-the-shoulder sweater, a pink/grey plaid mini skirt, with white sneakers with a pink Nike logo on the side. She helps me with hair and make-up too. She reveals the final look and wow she is amazing. I can't wait it's almost 6 pm.
