This Is My Ghost Adventures
Ch.13
I was awoken out of my peaceful sleep when I felt something poke my arm. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock
It's only 2 in the morning, shouldn't he be asleep? I thought tiredly
I looked over at Zak and he was facing his nightstand sleeping
If it wasn't him then... I thought
and then I heard in the kitchen, so I got up to see what it was. When I got to the kitchen I searched the cabinets to find a mouse or something, but I couldn't find anything
If there was no mouse then what was it? I thought
then I heard scrathing on the wall to my right and I followed it. I opened a door, flipping the light switch on and went down the black spiral stairs. Once I reached the bottom the scrathing stopped. Then I heard knocking on the bookcase entrance to Zak's dungeon
Do I really want to? I thought
I stood there for a minute and then opened the bookcase door and went inside. I felt an eerie feeling in there, but who wouldn't? Zak's dungeon had dim lights, scary looking fireplace, skulls, Dracula looking things, tall old fashioned chairs that you would see in old horror movies, and of course his little prison, that even had a little iron door that actually locked
"Is there someone here?" I asked out loud
I then went to the fireplace to look at what Zak had on the mantle
Why would someone want this scary looking stuff? That's right, it's Zak I thought sarcastically
then I heard footsteps
"Can you show yourself?"
then the dungeon door slammed shut and I jumped
"Ok... I'll just be leaving then" I said
then I walked to the book case and opened it. When I opened it I saw Zak looking at me confused
"Zak?"
"Candy? What are you doing?"
"I woke up to hearing a noise and it led me down here"
"What was that noise before you opened the door?"
"Your prison door slammed by itself"
"Don't pay attention to them, there just trying to scare you Candy and if you show an kind of fear, they will think they won and they feed off of it" Zak said taking my hand and leading me back upstairs
Once we got back upstairs we went to his room and layed back down. I got as close as I could to Zak and he wrapped his arm around me protectivly and we fell asleep. I then woke up again to Zak talking and rubbing my back, so I looked up from Zak's chest to see Zak talking on his cellphone
"Thank you" he said and then hung up
"Who was it?" I asked sitting up
"Nobody, I just called someone to cleanse the house"
"Oh"
"Anyway, I'm going to take you out for dinner tonight"
"Really?"
"Yeah, so dress nice"
"Zak, what are you up to?" I asked looking at him squinting my eyes
"Nothing, can't your boyfriend treat you to a nice dinner because she's had a weird 2 months?"
"I guess you could, where are we going?"
"It's a surprise" he said smiling
"But Zak..." I said in a whiney tone
He lifted me up alittle so he could get up
"No"
I then stuck out my bottom lip
"I'm not caving in this time Candy"
I sat up
"Do Aaron and Nick know?"
"No"
Liar I thought
"You're such a liar, you told Nick didn't you?"
"Why would you think I told him?" he asked smirking
"1 he won't go blabbing like Aaron and 2 you just gave yourself away"
"How?"
"Because you always ask that question and then smirk... You should work on not giving yourself away so easily" I said smiling
He then looked at me and held up 3 fingers
Uh oh, I'm in trouble I thought
Then he had 2 up
Think of something I thought frantically
Then he had 1 and I gulped. He then lunged towards me and I took that chance to jump off the bed on the other side and I ran down the hallway
Got away that time I thought happily
I ran down the stairs and headed to the front door. Once I reached the door I heard his footsteps at a fast pace coming after me, so I swung the door open and tried to run but I ran into something. I looked up and saw Nick
"Nick help me!" I said running behind him for protection
"What ya do this time?"
Just then Zak was at the door
"I didn't do anything, he just tried to attack me"
"Zak, what'd she do?"
"She said I gave myself up easily on the surprise and it was payback for lastnight"
Nick started laughing
"That was a great prank"
Zak just rolled his eyes
"Are you two going to come in or what?"
Me and Nick went inside
"Well, I better go get changed and go home so I can be ready for tonight"
"Alright, I'll see you later Candy" Nick said
I then went upstairs and got ready and packed my sleep over bag up. When I was done I went back downstairs and Zak greeted me at the front door
"I'll pick you up at 7 ok?"
"Ok" I said smiling
He then kissed me. When we broke apart I walked out of his house and headed towards mine. When I got there I went inside and went straight to the kitchen
What to eat? I thought looking in the fridge
I then got out some biscuits and opened them and then put them in the oven. While they were baking I went into the living room to see if I had any messages on the answerig machine
4 messages? I thought and then pressed the play button
"Hey sweetheart, it's mommy..." I groaned
Why does she always have to sound like she's talking to a little kid when she says that? I thought
"Just calling to wish you a Happy Birthday, love you" it beeped and I deleted
"Hey sis, just calling to wish you a Happy Birthday, You need to stop hanging around the guys so much and give your big sister a call sometime, TTYL" it beeped, I deleted it and chuckled
She still talks like she's in high school I thought
"Hey, it's mommy I was just online and I saw that Zak was on Yahoo and it has your guys's picture at a concert and it says you guys are dating? I wouldn't mind him to be my son-in-law, call me later and let me know" the machine beeped and I erased it
Oh Boy I thought
"Candice..." my breathing hitched in my throat
How'd he get my number? I thought frantically
"I was just online and I saw that you and that Zak Bagans, you know the guy from Ghost Adventures and your rude friend, I read that you and him are dating and that you work for him now. How could you go from an intelligent job to a job that has people faking that ghosts exsist, I'm going to be in Vegas next week and if I see you with him you both are finished" the machine beeped and I had tears in my eyes
I then sat on my couch in shock. I sat there for 10 minutes before I was interrupted out of my shocked state when the smoke alarm starting going off
My biscuits I thought
I jumped up and ran into the kitchen and turned the oven off and opened it and I grabbed an oven mitt and took out my extremely burnt buscuits
Great, Can't eat em' now I thought
I then put them in the trash and went to my bedroom. When I got there I just fell on my bed and cried myself to sleep.
I was woken up to my phone ringing, I looked over at the clock and it read 6:15
Zak's going to be here soon I thought
I got up and answered the phone while looking for something to wear
"Hello?"
"Hey Candy, just giving you a 45 minute warning since you're always late"
"Zak, I'm not always, the person that's usually late is you, I should be giving you the 45 minute warning"
"You ready?"
"How can I get ready if we're talking?"
"Alright, I'll see you in 45"
we then hung up and I went into my bathroom and took a shower, when I was done I got dressed and done all the neccesary things. When I was done I heard my door bell, so I grabbed my purse and headed to the door. When I opened the door the door revealed a maroon collar shirted with black pants, I looked up and it was Zak
"Not all black?"
"Nope" he said smiling
"Put a mark up on the wall"
we laughed
"Are you ready?"
"Yeah"
We then got into his car and took off
"Candy are you alright?" Zak asked after 10 minutes of silence
"Yeah" I said sighing
"Quit lying"
How should I tell him? I thought
"I checked my answering machine today..."
"Ok, and?"
"Well...my dad called"
And that's all I had to say because I saw Zak clutching the steering wheel harder to where his knuckles turned white
"How did he get your number?"
"I don't know"
"Well Candy, don't worry about him"
We then arrived at our destination. I looked up and saw where we were
Oh my...I thought shocked
"Zak... we're eating at the Alize, but it's so expensive"
"Candy, don't worry about the price"
"But..."
"No buts" he said and we then got out and went inside
when we got inside I was amazed, it was so beautiful. The host showed us to our seat, which was a reserved private area. I sat down and then Zak sat down and we got our menus
"Hello, my name's Maggie, what can I get you two to drink this evening?"
"We'll have the red wine" Zak said
she then smiled and took off
"Zak?" I said slowly and curiously
"Yes?"
"What are you up to?"
"Nothing"
I then looked at my menu and about 5 minutes later the waitress came back with our red wine
"Here you guys go" she said handing us our wine
"Are you two ready to order?"
Zak looked at me
"I'm ready"
"Well, go ahead" he said smiling
"I'll have the Sautéed Free Range Chicken Breast with Crab"
"And I'll have the Australian Wagyu New York Strip"
"Alright, I'll be back with your orders" she said and then took off
We talked for 35 minutes until our food came. We ate our food, and mine was delicious, which it should be for $36.
"How's your food?" I asked Zak
"It's great, what about yours?"
"It's delicious"
When we were done eating our waitress came back
"Would you two like any dessert?"
"Could we have the Warm Chocolate Fondant?" Zak asked
Hold on, Zak eat chocolate? I thought confused
"Sure can, are you sharing or seperate?"
"Sharing" Zak said
she then took off to get the order. About 5 minutes later she came back with a bowl and two spoons. Zak took the first bite
"It's really good, try some"
I looked at him suspisiously as he scooped up some more
"Here" he said putting his spoon in my face
I then took the bite
"Good isn't it?"
I nodded
"Yeah it's pretty good"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just haven't seen you eat anything sweet in a long time"
About halfway through the dessert Zak stopped
"Full? Or getting sick because it's sweet?" I asked smirking and taking another bite
"Both"
"Well don't push it"
A few seconds of silent past
"Candy?"
"Yeah"
"I'm just curious how long have we been friends"
"I don't know, probably about 15 years, give or take why?"
"Just wondering"
I then took another bite and Zak got up and sat next to me and took my spoon away
"Why'd ya do that?" I asked confused
Zak pulled out a dark blue velvet box
"Candice Taylor Wilson, will you marry me?"
he then opened the box and revealed a beautiful ring
Am I dreaming? I thought
I blinked a couple of times and I then knew I wasn't dreaming. I had tears in my eyes and all I could do was nod. Zak smiled and slipped the ring on my left ring finger and we kissed. When we broke apart the waitress came with our check Zak paid for it and then we went to his house
"So are you going to be happy to have your last name changed to mine?" Zak asked as soon as we sat on the couch
"You have no idea Zak" I said hugging him
I still can't believe he purposed I thought
We sat there and watched TV and then we fell asleep on the couch.
It's only 2 in the morning, shouldn't he be asleep? I thought tiredly
