You're Not Like the Others

I heard my phone vibrating on the nightstand, but I was to comfortable to answer it. Then it stopped

Thank you I thought

as I snuggled into the warm embrace. I hadn't noticed it until now, I was laying on my back and Zak had his right arm around me.

I met him only a week ago and I feel safe in his arms...Is this normal to fall for somebody so fast I thought confused

I closed my eyes and as soon as I did he turned so he was laying on his back and the hand that was holding me was now across his stomach and his left arm was still under his head. I then heard the house alarm beep, saying someone just entered the house

Oops, I guess I forgot to set the alarm I thought

Zak shifted again and I looked over towards him and his eyes were open

"Morning" I said softly

"Morning" he said running his left hand through his messed up hair

Can he get any hotter? I thought

then I heard the stair step creek

"How'd you sleep?" I asked him

"I slept good...What about you?" he asked turning to face my with his head propped up by his left hand

"I slept good" I said smiling

I didn't realize it, but he was leaning closer and closer to my face and my eyes were slowly closing, getting ready for the kiss.

"Mommy! Daddy!"

Zak moved away as soon as the door flung open and Abby came in running and jumped on the bed.

"Hello baby girl, did you have fun at Jessie's house?" I said smiling

"Yeah"

she then went to Zak and sat ontop of him. I gave him a 'sorry' look and he just smiled and shook his head

"Daddy?"

"Hmm?" he said turning his head towards her since he couldn't move or she would've fallen off of him

"What's that?" she asked and poked the back of his neck

"It's a tattoo I got"

"Tattoo?"

"It's paint that never ever comes off" I said

"Oh..." she said to me and looked back at Zak

"Can I see?"

"It's scary and I don't want to scare you"

"But I'm a big girl" she said puffing out her chest

I laughed and got out of bed. Zak chuckled

"I know you are but you have to be really big to see the tattoo"

"How big?"

"As big as mommy" he said

"Alright Abby go downstairs, we'll be there here in a second"

"Ok" she said and got off of Zak and headed downstairs

"I'm so sorry"

"It's fine Kayla" he said getting up

we then went down the stairs. He went to the bathroom and I went into the kitchen

"Hey Kayla"

"Hey Jess" I said as I made my way into the kitchen to make some coffee as Jessica followed

"Have fun lastnight?" she asked smirking

I turned to her to see that smirk

"Alright jess, me and my date went to go eat at a shusi bar and that's it" I said as I started making the coffee

"Really?" she asked not believing me

"Yep" I said and turned the coffee pot on

Just then he came into the kitchen and Jessica looked at him with a 'You're freakin' hottie, come screw me now'

I cleared my throat and Jessica looked at me with a 'what' look

"Anyway, Zak this is Jessica...Jessica this is Zak"

"The one that's a black belt?"

"That would be the one, it's nice to meet you" Jess said

"Same here"

"Zak, what would you like to eat?"

"You do..."

"I am, even though" I said smiling at him

he smirked with his arms crossed and Jessica was looking from me to Zak and then back at me

"I'll take some eggs and bacon"

"Alright" I said smiling and turning around

he just chuckled and then Abby came in and tugged on the shirt Zak was wearing

"Daddy"

"Yeah?"

"Come watch T.V with me"

"Ok" he said and then left the kitchen

"I was wondering why she said 'Daddy's here' when we pulled up"

"Jess, it's a really long story" I said sighing and started cooking

"I've got al the time in the world to listen" she said while helping

"I'll give you the edit version"

"Thank you"

"Remember when I asked if you could come over and babysit that night?"

"Yeah"

"Well I was helping him and his team with something that night"

"Ok?"

"Well when I took Abby to the hospital for a certain reason, he stopped by and Brad was working that night"

"So...Where does the dad part come in?"

"I'm getting to that little Ms. Impatient...Brad was giving him trouble and I said that he was Abby's dad, so he would leave Zak alone"

"That was a week ago"

"I know"

"Is he really going to stay?"

"I don't know, I think he wants to because he kept the dad act up when we left the hospital"

"Kayla, don't you think you're moving to fast?"

"Hey, I'm not the one that 'sleeps' with a guy and moves him in my home the next day, only to kick him out in a week"

"Hey! I haven't done that for 5 months"

"Put a mark up on the wall"

we then laughed. I put the eggs and bacon on everyone's plates

"Well, if he's going to stay in your life, I'm happy for you"

"Well thank you" I said smiling

"Well, I better get going...so you guys can have 'family' time" she said quoting the word family with her fingers and smiled

I smiled and shook my head and followed her to the living room. I looked towards the couch and saw Zak sitting there absolutely bored while Abby was down by the T.V watching the Imagination Movers. Then he picked up his phone and started typing

"He looks bored" Jess whispered in my ear

"I can tell" I said smiling

then Abby said excitedly

"Did you see that?"

Zak put his phone down quickly as she turned to face him

"Yep, that was awesome" he said smiling back at her and she turned around again

Me and Jess chuckled alittle

"See ya later" she said

"Ok...Time to eat you two"

"Bye guys" Jess said

"Bye" Zak and Abby said

Abby got up and headed to the kitchen and Zak got up off the couch

"Have fun?" I asked smirking

"It was terrific" he said smiling sarcastically

I was about to walk back to the kitchen to help Abby when Zak grabbed my hand gently

"I was wondering if you would like to come over to my cook out that I'm doing today? Since this is going to be the last day of warm weather and Abby can come too"

"Sure we'll come"

"Before I go buy anything, what does Abby like to eat and drink?"

"She'll drink any kind of juice and kool-aid...And she'll eat hot dogs, she's not to big on hamburgers yet, she likes potato salad" I said while scrunching up my face

"You don't lie potato salad?"

"No, never have"

"I bet if you try my mom's potato salad, you'll be hooked"

"I'll think about trying it again, do you want me to bring anything?"

"You don't have to, but if you really want to you can"

"Ok"

he smiled and kissed the top of my hand and walked off to the kitchen. I just stood there blushing and shocked

Did he just kiss my hand? I thought

"Mommy"
I snapped out of my thoughts and went to the kitchen

"Yeah baby girl?" I asked sitting down at the table

"Can we go to the park today?" she said taking a bite of her eggs

"Maybe, but we're going to daddy's house today"

"And spend the night?" she asked excitedly

"Mommy's got work tomorrow" I said

"So? Daddy can stay with me" she said and started pouting at me and then looked at Zak

"Sweetie, daddy's got to go out of town in the morning" Zak said sweetly after he swallowed his sasuage

"Can I go?"

"Not this time, I'm going to a really scary place"

"Oh"

"Hey don't look sad, I might even bring you something back"
she then perked up

"Alright Abby, since you're done eating how about you go pick out your clothes to wear to daddy's house"

"Ok" she got off the chair and ran to her room

I just smiled and shook my head

"What time are we suppose to be at your house?" I asked getting up and rinsing mine and Abby's plate

"I'd say about 3" he said getting up and coming to the sink and rinsed his plate

I looked at the clock '11:45'

That gives us a few hours to kill I thought

"And thanks for letting me stay the night"

"Not a problem"

"Well, I better go get changed and head to the store to get everything"

"You mean you don't have anything for the BBQ?"

"Not all of it, I've got the hot dogs, hamburger meat, chicken, but I don't have that many chips,
dips, and stuff like that"

"Alright" I said laughing alittle

He smiled and went to my room to get changed. I went to Abby's room

"Abby, it's almost time for a bath"

"Can I have bubbles?"

"Yes"

then I heard my door open and Zak came up to me

"Well, I'll see you later"

"Alright, bye Zak"

"Bye daddy"

"Bye Abby" he said and then walked downstairs

"Let's go take a bath" I said and made my way down the stairs and into the bathroom.

Once I got the water the right temprature Abby came in and I washed her hair and then filled the bathtub up and put the bubble mix in. I bathed her and then let her play in the water alittle bit. When she was done I dried her off and put her clothes on. She was wearing a light pink shirt that had Cindrella, Belle, and Sleeping beauty on it and she wore white shorts.

Abby then went to her room to play and I went to my room to get what I was going to wear. I went back to the bathroom and took a shower. When I was done I put my clothes on and then headed to the kitchen to make a dessert to take to Zak's house.

I put a bowl in the freezer because the bowl had to be chilled. I got a can of cherries out, a bag of small marshmellows, cherry filling, whipped cream, and some other ingredients. I mixed it all together and then got the bowl out of the frezzer and poured the dssert into the bowl. I got out the plastic wrap and tore some off

I HATE plastics wrap, everytime I rip it it clings to itself and then I have a hard time getting it seperated I thought annoyed

I finally got it apart and put it over the bowl and then put it in the fridge. I looked at the clock and it read '2:15' and then my cell phone beeped. I looked at it, I got a text
4got 2 tell u the address, 9764 W. Clark St.-Z
I replied
Good thing cuz I would've been driving all over town :)-

"Abby , it's almost time to go, get your shoes on" I called from the kitchen

I then went and got my shoes on and Abby came in my room and had her princess bookbag

"What are you doing with that?"

"I'm taking it to daddy's"

"Honey, you can take a few things but not a whole bookbag of things"

"Fine" she sighed and went back to her room

My phone beeped again
I'm sure u would've found it eventually, but then the food would b gone :)-Z
Well we're on our way-

I then got up and Abby came out of her room with a couple of dolls. We headed for the door and I strapped her in her seat when I opened the car door for her. And then I got in and we headed to Zak's house.

I wonder what his home looks like? I thought as I switched the radio to Radio Disney for Abby.
