Chapter 8 - Zac's POV

Man, I have been looking everywhere for Annmera. Why did my phone literally have to shatter the night I met her?  Ugh, I printed off these photos so hopefully, I can find her address and mail em to her. Please just let me see her again.  Ouch, what on earth, on top of everything I get hit with a buggy. A girl is telling me how sorry she is but all I can say is  "It's okay I'm alright (looking up at her, I'm in shock ) ... Annmera" It's really her, she's in front of me. I definitely have the biggest smile on my face. I tell her everything that happened and I give her my number so I won't lose her again. She's here to grocery shop I don't want to bother her but I don't want to say goodbye after finding her. Telling her how I've been looking to find her I ask if I can help grocery shop with her and she says YES!! We go through the whole store talking and catching up. But it gets to the point she has to check out and I'm honestly disappointed because I don't want to say goodbye. I wonder if she's thinking the same since her smile went away as soon as we got to the check-out lane. Man, I can't let it end like this today I don't want to let her go.

Kinda embarrassed I put my hand behind my head to see if I could walk her to the vehicle. When we get there I still don't want to leave yet so I help put her groceries in the car. I just point blank ask " Annmera can I take you out to dinner tonight?" Oh my, she's blushing and she's too cute my heart is racing. She's looking away, I got to do something to see that cute blushing face. " Annmera, Annmera, is that okay?" She finally looks at me again saying " YES!!! I-I-I- I mean yeah, I'd love that". Can't help myself but smile and I even turn red. Before leaving I asked if 6 tonight is a good time to pick her up and of course she said yes. We say our goodbyes but we will see you tonight. 

Walking to my vehicle I yell yes while doing a Judd Nelson pose from The Breakfast Club. As I'm getting in I crank the car and drive off. As soon as I pulled into my driveway I ran to the door to get inside to get ready for tonight. Okay let's see it's 4:45 pm so I need to grab a quick shower and get my outfit together. I hop in the shower and I'm out within 10 minutes. I start getting my clothes on. Pick a grey button-up shirt but leave the top 2 buttons undone, blue jeans and white Nike sneakers. Should I put cologne on but how much? I am so nervous my hands are sweating. I just need to calm down and breathe. It's almost time to get her too. I need to get everything for the date together.

I also need to go gas up the truck and head her way. I grab my keys and head out the door to the truck. Ding, ding my phone is going off so looking down I check it and it's from her. Well, I got her address so let me tell her I'm getting my truck filled up first and heading her way. As I pull out of the driveway I head to the gas station and fill my truck up. I'm still so nervous, I shouldn't be though. How come I was super calm, cool, and collected at the bar and tonight I'm all sweaty hands and wondering if I put too much cologne on?  I just need to relax, she's a really sweet girl so I need to get a grip. My gas tank is full so now it's time to get her. Driving to her house I finally arrive, getting out of the car I walk to the door and ring the doorbell waiting for the door to finally open.

Isn't this the guy from the bar who snatched me from Annmera? " Umm hi I'm Zac, I'm looking for Annmera," I say while smiling but this dude is just staring at me. All of a sudden a woman comes from behind him " Hey Zac I'm Rebecca, Annmera's sister it's nice to see you again. This is Logan we all met at the bar. He's the guy who snatched you off my sis." I was right that is the guy. He was giving me the evil eye that night and he's doing it here too. " Zac come on in! Annmera will be out in a second." Thank you is all I can say. She leads me to the living room and we sit down and talk for a bit. She seems like a cool sister, she also introduces me to this Logan guy. So this dude is their childhood best friend. Maybe that's why he's so judgmental of me but I get a feeling it's more than that. Just as those thoughts crossed my mind a stunning woman walked out of the back room. 

She's wearing an off-the-shoulder sweater and a plaid skirt with sneakers. She is literally taking my breath away. I stand up to greet her and give her a hug while telling her how stunning she looks. While looking at her and giving compliments she starts blushing again and I can't take my eyes off her. She's twiddling with her fingers so I can tell I'm not the only one nervous. She talks to her sister for a second and asks if I'm ready to go. We start walking out the door to the truck. I go to the passenger side and open the door for her, she has such a shocked look on her face so I'm guessing she's not used to this. Smiling she says thank you. I go to the other side hop in the truck, crank the car, and head off to our dinner date.
