Chereads / That Fateful Night By Renee' Stone / Chapter 10 - Annmera's POV

Chapter 10 - Annmera's POV

He opened the door for me which put me in shock cause no man I know does that anymore.  I hop up in the truck and I'm so nervous but I can see he's nervous too. It's dead silent in the vehicle, I can tell he's trying to say something but he's too nervous it's all over his face and he's gripping the wheel trying to keep his cool. He's really cute when he's nervous. Well, I need to do something so here goes nothing " Hey Zac… umm I'm kinda nervous too so you don't have to stress over it. It's totally okay to be nervous…. Umm I mean if your nervous" I think that helped he kinda relaxed some because he was smiling at me. 

His smile is definitely making my heart go crazy right now but wait I think he's about to say something.  " Thank you Annmera, to be honest, I was super nervous. I don't really go on dates or let alone ask a girl cause I'm always busy with work. I probably seem super lame huh." He thinks he's lame that's far from the truth okay let it out Annmera tell him what you think " NO.. umm I mean no I don't think you're lame at all, to be fair I'm the same way I don't really date and I'm always working. You're not lame rather you're really sweet, I love that you were thinking about me the entire time and worrying about what happened at the bar. You're amazing Zac." Omg, did that really all just come out of my mouth that's so embarrassing I hope he doesn't think that was weird or anything. 

I grab a glimpse of him to see his reaction and one arm is on the wheel while the other is leaning against the window and his hand is covering his mouth. He's blushing!!! It's dark but that moonlight is coming through the windshield and I can see his expression. This is so not good for my heart, how can he look so adorable when he's embarrassed? Finally, we calm down and just start talking about family, friends, and our jobs. The car finally stops and I'm so confused why are we here? What is going on? umm, let's just ask. Turning to him I ask " Zac why are we in the middle of a field?" He is just smiling at me and he's so cute doing it but he opens his mouth and says " Will you trust me tonight?" All I can do is nod. 

I see him hop out of the car and he just tells me to wait until he comes and gets me.  I'm trusting him but this is giving me serial killer vibes right now if I'm being honest. A few minutes later Zac opened up my door and said " I need you to close your eyes" I'm just saying "Umm okay". Okay, Annmera don't freak out we aren't in a serial killer movie just trust the process okay? Finally, we stopped walking and he said " Open your eyes". My eyes go wide when I see what he's done, it is so beautiful! This reminds me of my Dad's and Mom's first date, they would tell me stories of it all the time as a kid.  While I'm thinking all this my thoughts get interrupted by Zac as he says " I wanted our date to be special and something you won't forget so I decided to go with the date idea my dad used with my mom. Blankets and pillows are laid out in the theme of the truck with a picnic basket full of food with twinkle lights all over the back so we can see while we eat. We can lie down and star gaze after we eat and talk. Do you like it?" I'm so speechless for a moment but I can see how nervous he is. 

I think he's even holding his breath waiting for my response. Opening up my mouth to speak I say " This is the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for me, I love this. To be honest I've always wanted someone to do this for me. My parents did it on their first date too. I guess our parents had good taste haha."  He is finally breathing now but he is too adorable I can't help myself. I slowly walk towards him and just put one hand on the side of his face and pull him into a kiss but he's tall so I got to stand on my tip toes. Pulling away  I say thank you and I can tell my face is probably beat red but hopefully he can't see it. Looking back up at him  I see a look in his eyes like he's a hungry animal craving for more and that's when he snatches me back into a kiss but he deepens it. He is taking my breath away!

  I am going crazy for this man and I honestly don't want to let go of him. I may have had feelings for Logan but never to this extent. It's like when I'm with Zac I'm craving more and more. I want to know more about him, see all his different facial expressions, and listen to him talk about his past, present, and future. After pulling away from the kiss we are begging for air. He smiles at me and says "Let's eat some food " he is definitely speaking my language now. We crawl into the bed of the truck and he pulls the picnic basket out which is filled with fruit, sandwiches, and a wine bottle. This man prepared for all of this in such a short time. As we start to dig in, I look at him and he looks so happy like a kid in a candy shop. I think his nerves finally settled down.  After we have finished eating he pulls me close as we lay down staring at the stars, talking about our everyday lives, our pasts, and what we want to do in the future. 

His phone goes off and he sighs. Getting up he looks at me so disappointed saying I guess it's time to take you home. I look at him and say " Why do you need to take me home ?" He smiles at me and lets out a chuckle " You have work tomorrow and it's 11:30 pm almost". This man is worried about me getting enough sleep for work. I can't help but smile saying " You know you're really adorable. I don't want to leave but you're right I have work tomorrow ugh." He smiles and gets down from the bed of the truck, then helps me down and says " Next time I'm not gonna want to let you go". This man is something else. He walks me to the passenger door and opens it to let me in. Then walks to the back, cleans up everything, and puts it in the backseat and we head to my house.
