The First Time

Zack’s POV

I can’t believe I’m finally in front her house. “There’s no turning back now Merrick,” I said to myself. I grabbed a pebble and threw out the window. I whistled and I am not giving up until she’s up.

“Geez, Zack! It’s 12 pm. What are you doing here?”

Okay, she’s up! I’m so nervous and happy at the same time.

She is wearing her pajamas and it looks adorable. Fits her well.

“Looking for you. I thought I should be romantic.”

She looks surprised. I hope that’s a good sign. I don’t want her stranding me outside. We talked a bit and I’m still quite nervous because I have only thought about tonight this far. I don’t really know what we can do next, but let’s just be spontaneous.

She changed her clothes and now she’s climbing her window. WAIT, CLIMBING HER WINDOW?

“W-wait, what are you doing?” I asked her

“I’m going to jump. Catch!”

Okay. Oh God, I don’t want to drop her or hurt her.

I caught her in my arms (bride and groom style) and I stumbled. “Nope, don’t fall, don’t hurt her.” I thought. Thank God, she wasn’t hurt.

After that crazy jump scene which was quite fun and unexpected, we had a nice little chat. We bought hot chocolate and we started talking again. This is so far, a good night.

So far, we have some things in common, but it’s not that I’m after. I don’t care about our similarities. I just want her here with me.

I am in shock. She just told me some of her tragic childhood stories. I never thought that Emma could be that tough. If I were Emma, I would probably hate myself for looking out that window when my neighbor died. I would’ve not been as healthy and fine as she is today. I look up to her now. She’s smart, she’s down to earth, and she’s just as perfect as an angel could be.

The night went by and I think it’s the right time to confess.

“Em, I need to tell you something. Just don’t say anything because I might act cool on the outside, but deep down I’m really nervous, so please hear me out.” He took a deep breath. “I really like you. From the first day I met you in Drama class, I was mesmerized by you even before you said a word. Then, I got to know you and things changed. I’ve never been head over heels over a girl before, but Emma Kavanaugh, you are the one. I know it doesn’t make sense, but what I’m trying to say is, I am falling in love for you.”

At that moment I spoke my heart out. I just didn’t care anymore. I want her to know what I have been feeling and what I said, I meant every single word. If I were a dictionary lover, I would use every complex, romantic, meaningful word that I can remember just to show her how much I care.

“Zack, I’ve been trying to tell you how I feel and because you confessed, I think I should do the same. Love has been something I’ve been avoiding for a very long time and it’s been hard for me because whenever I’m with you, my heart keeps telling me to just go for it. I’ve been scared, but I’m not anymore. I feel safe with you. You’re different Zack, you make me want to be a better person. Whenever I’m with you, I feel like I am finally free. You’re my first Zack and I thought that you should know that.”

I was in joy. I’ve never felt this free before. It’s always been quiet Zack, but not with Emma.

We walk back to her house and that’s when she realized she forgot to bring her keys. Everyone makes mistakes, so I couldn’t care less. In fact, I was happy because she can stay with me. Thank God she agreed.

We were in my room and this night has been tiring so the both of us just snuck up to the bed and I gave her a hug. She was warm and I haven’t felt this warm for a very long time. It was nice.

Finally, I have won her heart. I can’t believe it. From now on whatever I do, it has to achieve my one and only goal, to love Emma Kavanaugh with all my heart.
