I Can Use Some Guiding Light

Zack wait patiently leaning against his car, more so laying on it. I smiled as the door
slamming shut startled him. "Sorry it to so long." I smiled.

"No biggy I figured you'd be like Omgee what do I wear." He said putting on a girls air. I laughed cus it was true, which caused him to blush, and duck. He then hurried off into his car. I smiled before sliding into the passenger seat. It wasn't the nicest car but it was decent. I mean not every one had money, I might have been raised with the finer things in life but it doesn't mean I am a snob. I like to be kind if I hadn't open the shop then I'd be in his position. Not poor but almost.

He seemed timid, I guess he wanted to talk but didn't know where to start. He was picking at his jeans, thou not taking his eyes off the road. He seemed impaction, it was a long drive, filled with silence. I tried to remember where we were but the places all seemed the same to me. I had grew up in Los Angles so I know what big cites are like.

"Are we there yet?" I smiled at Zack.

"Haha almost." He smiled over at me, shaking his head before turning back to the road. He loosened up a bit and he quit picking at his pants, but instead he drummed his fingers on the wheel. The drive droned on for like two minutes but it seemed like for ever. I smiled when he pulled up in front of a nice little duplex. It was cute and welcoming but it really didn't seem like Matt. He appeared to be more like a show boater, like he wanted your attention. And those muscles got all the attention. Zack got out of the car, and I fallowed his lead. I felt like I was suppose to be his date, rather than a guest.

I just quietly walked behind him, as he walked into the house.

"Hey Bitch." I furrowed my brow, ready to kick some ones ass.

"Johnny." Zack said, he playfully punched some one in front of him. I wasn't till then that I realized he wasn't talking to me.

"Whose your date?" Zack and Johnny looked at me.

"Oh this is Kori." Zack said. "Matt actually invited her." He seemed on edge.

"Oh really." Her voice sound like nails on a chalk board. She walked up behind Johnny.

"Yeah but it was like he didn't want to be rude." I said covering for Matt, why I have no idea. Zack turned and smiled at me.

"Oh really so he just randomly asked you?" She snapped at me.

"No he didn't, God Nat." Zack growled. " She was hanging out with me and Brian when he asked us so he figured that she would be coming anyways." He shook his head. "Get over your self. And quit being a bitch to my date."

"Oh she won't be your date for long, they all end up with one or more of your friends." Nat snapped at Zack, glared at me then left the room.

"Well that was.. yeah. Bitch." Johnny said. Zack started playing with his hands, as he tried to calm his breathing. "Come on Zack, I thought you were over that." Johnny appeared to be like a younger brother.

"I was. Am." Zack said his tone hinted he was anger. "But she won't drop it and it pisses me off."

"I know what you mean, if you do one thing wrong she holds it over your head for ever." Johnny said. "I just can't wait till Matt dumps her." He then turn and wander off into the house.

"Sorry." Zack said, he turned to look at me.

"It's cool, I'm confused, yet it's entertaining." I smiled at him, showing him I wasn't fazed by her. Not to mention I'd be able to handle any thing she threw at me.

"Oh you find that entertaining." He smiled, kind of hovering over me.

"Yeah you're like a dysfunctional Brady bunch." I laughed.

"Oh yeah." He asked, his eyebrow furrow playfully. "You haven't seen dysfunctional yet." He whispered in my ear, as Nat walked in the room.

"God I can't wait till every one leaves." She stated to herself, but she wanted it know to everyone. "Every one is out back, so you can get out there and not fuck on my furniture.

Zack shook his head before grabbing my hand and leading out the back door.

"What's up her ass?" I asked once she disappeared into the kitchen.

"Matt cheated on her awhile back and now she doesn't trust anyone." He explained.

"Why doesn't she just dump him then?" I was a bit noisy but I worked in what seemed like a Barber shop.

"Cus she wants his money." I snicked, shaking my head. I didn't know if he was joking but I didn't care and we didn't say much more. Once out side he dropped my hand and we both headed for the table in the yard. I was right there was a pool, the fact that it was a duplex confused me. There usually a fence separating the yard but I guess they had made it into just a house.

"Hey Zack sorry I took your spot but I guess you it don't matter you gotta take her home, or is she staying the night?" Johnny winked at me.

"Well I already told you I don't care. Nat's piece of shit is usually there anyways." Zack said he ignored the other part of Johnny speech.

"Shut it Johnny." Brian said sitting in front of me. "Hello Kori." He smiled really big at me.

"Hello Brian." I said miking him, I just couldn't help but smile.

"Zack there's a leash inside if you need it." Nat said glaring at me before sitting beside Brian, Matt taking the other side of her.

"Cool it Nat." Matt snapped, his voice sent shivers down my spine, he was a good looking man but so far what I'd seen of him I didn't want to see more. I gulped and leaned away from him, and more towards Zack.

"She's not my girlfriend Nat." Zack said. "So stop with the rude ass comments or take your ass in side."

"What." She seemed kind of shocked that he'd talk to her that way. "You're going to let him talk to me like that?" She said turning to Matt.

"You're lucky he said it before me." Matt said taking a swig of his beer, before winking at me. I take it more than just one guy at this table liked me. Or maybe it was the short, hope not.
