Catch Me

It's finally time to pick Zack up at the airport and I'm feeling all kinds of emotions. I quite honestly don't know what I'm going to do when I see his gorgeous face. My heart was racing and I was tapping my foot on the floor as I was impatient, waiting for him to come walking out of the terminal.

Just landed. Should be out in less than ten minutes.

I held in a squeal as I could hardly control my excitement; I was sure that I was amusing to several people there on a Saturday morning. When I finally saw him, I stood up and saw him walking toward me, smiling as soon as he saw my face. I walked a relatively short distance and saw him drop his duffel before I leapt into his arms with him wrapping them around me; I kissed him immediately.

“I missed you.” I said against his lips.

“I missed you, too.”

“You taste so good.”

“You too.”

He set me down, but I took hold of his hands.

“How was your flight?”

“Too long. I could use another nap.”

“On top of the one you took on the plane?” I asked raising an eyebrow.

“Well, I was hoping that you’d be there.”

“In that case, let’s go take a nap.”

I stood slightly on my toes and kissed him. I heard the clearing of a throat as we continued to kiss. I blushed and buried my face into his chest.

“You gonna introduce us?” Alex said.

“Guys, this is Riley. Riley...”

I waved and then I shook the rest of their hands.

“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you guys. Just wish it coulda been sooner.”

“Agreed.” Rian said.

“I second that.” Jack said.

I smiled and leaned into Zack. Although he has told me they already approved of me, this just affirmed it for me and I’m at complete ease... well, almost. They’ve yet to meet my friends who have been All Time Low fans since the beginning; so, who knows how they’re gonna react to them.

“I have to let you guys know my friends have been fans since the beginning, so I don’t know how they’re gonna react.”

“Thank you for the warning.” Alex said.

“How’d you just become a fan when they’ve been fans for years?” Rian asked.

“Yeah. I don’t get it either, but I’m one now, so that’s what matters.” I said laughing.

We all started walking toward the carousel where their luggage was.

“We’re all gonna meet up for dinner. Right? Because that was a long flight.” Jack asked.

“Sounds good to me.” Zack answered.

Within ten minutes, they grabbed their luggage and were on their way to a hotel while Zack put his belongings in the trunk of my car and I started my car.

“Good to go?” I asked.

“Definitely.”

He buckled his seatbelt once he got in and we were off to his place. Just as I got to the hood of his car, he threw me over his shoulder and walked to the front door of his apartment.

“Zack! What are you doing?” I asked, giggling.

“What’s it look like?” he said, pulling his keys out of his pocket.

He unlocked the door and we were inside quickly as we were in his bedroom. He finally set me down and I proceeded to strip down to my panties since I knew exactly where this was going. I crawled onto the bed and waited just a couple of seconds for him to pounce. He climbed on top of me and attached his lips to mine rather hungrily. A hand slid down my body and to my panties.

“May I?" he asked.

"Yes."

As soon as he removed them, I felt his hands on the inside of my thighs and saw him move his head so it was between my legs. I then felt his tongue on my clit which caused me to moan.

"Zack."

His tongue moved around in circles and I proceeded to buck my hips.

"Fuck me."

He lifted his head and moved so he could reach into the nightstand drawer to grab a condom. I kept my eyes on him from the time he grabbed one to when he put it on. He looked deeply into my eyes when he was finally lying on top of me and he was at my entrance.

"Ready?" he asked.

"More than you'll ever know." I said before kissing him.

And with one swift movement, he was inside me.

“Oh fuck.” I said as he filled me.

“You good?”

“Never better.”

He proceeded to thrust in and out of me while I wound my arms tightly around him.

“Holy shit, Riley. You feel so fucking good.”

“So do - so do you.”

I started digging my nails into his back while I felt Zack bite down on my neck. It hurt, but I loved it nonetheless. I proceeded to lay a few scratches down his back which caused him to hiss and thrust in and out of me faster and harder.

Several thrusts and moans later, I orgasmed and panted; he came just a couple of seconds later and collapsed on top of me. I kept my arms around him till we could each catch our breath. I laid my head on his chest and outstretched my arm roughly a minute later, listening to the beat of his heart.

“I love you.” I said, lifting my head.

“I love you, too.” he said as I moved closer to kiss him.

Zack

I was back where I belonged, lying in bed entangled with the woman of my dreams.

“I truly did miss you more than ever during this tour.” I said.

She just got more comfortable.

“I missed you like crazy.” she responded.

“Wanna take that nap I was talking about?”

“Absolutely. I’m exhausted.”

It wasn’t long before sleep took us over. I woke up to an empty bed causing me to wonder where Riley was.

“Riley?”

I got my answer when I saw her strut into my bedroom with her in one of my tee shirts.

Fuck. What did I do to deserve her?

“Hey, hot stuff.”

“You have anything on under this, beautiful?” I asked, motioning her to come sit.

“Take a guess.” she said seductively, crawling onto the bed like a tiger.

I smirked.

“You’re such a dirty girl.” I said in a husky voice.

I sat up, smacking her ass before pulling her onto my lap. She yelped and planted her lips on mine, taking hold of my bottom lip before letting it go.

“You are so naughty.”

I smacked her ass again.

“Get on your knees.” she said.

I did while she reached for a condom and she turned around and sat back down.

“Am I still naughty?” she asked, grinding into me.

I moaned.

“Extremely.”

I took her shirt off, tossing it to the opposite side of the bedroom before taking that condom. She lifted enough so I could put one on my growing erection. I tapped her hip and placed myself at her entrance; I pulled herself closer to me with her continuing to grind into me. I began to move inside her as I rubbed her breasts causing her to moan loudly and throw her head back.

“I love you, Zack.” she cried out in pleasure.

“I love you, too, Riley.”

I kissed her neck while I placed my right hand on top of hers on her hip. It wasn't long when my right hand then migrated to her clit.

“I’m almost there.” she moaned, pressing into me.

“Me too.”

And only seconds later, we both came.

“Holy fucking shit.” she said breathing heavily.

“We need to do this again.” I said kissing her neck again.

“I wholeheartedly agree.”

“Where’d that idea come from?”

“I did some research. I figured we could handle this position because this is an interesting one.”

“You have that bookmarked?”

“Of course.”

“I’m gonna need to take a look at that.”

“Go ahead. Hey. Do we really have to get out of bed? I want to go out and eat with them, but...”

“As much as I would love to lie in bed with you all day, we need to get up.”

She turned around after I pulled out and kissed me.

"Are you sure?" she asked with a pouty face.

Have I ever mentioned she is cute as fuck? Because she totally is.

"I'm sure."

Riley buried her face into my shoulder.

"Ugh."

"So sorry baby. I love you.”

“I love you, too. Ok. I’m gonna go shower.”

“And I’m gonna go get my suitcase and duffel out of my car.”

I got dressed while she headed to the shower.

Riley

Since I didn’t need to wash my hair, I just washed the smell of sex off my body. After my short shower, I saw Zack laying out his clothes with me having a full view of his backside. I walked behind him in my robe and wrapped my arms around his torso, kissing his back.

“Did you have a nice shower?”

“Yeah. I didn’t wash my hair though.”

“You just washed the sex off.” he said turning around.

“Yes.”

“That is very unfortunate.”

“You are gross.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

“That wasn’t a compliment.” I said rolling my eyes.

He snaked his arms around my waist and I proceeded to melt into him.

"You are lucky that you are so fucking cute."

I stood on my toes and kissed him while wrapping my arms around his neck.

“I’m gonna go take a shower. I’ll be back.”

I changed into a summer dress and put makeup on while I waited for him to get clean. I spun around as I looked at myself in the mirror; all that was missing were my sandals.

“You look awfully beautiful in that dress.” Zack said with a towel around his waist.

“Thank you.” I said spinning around.

He laughed before kissing me. I took a seat on his bed and opened up my phone to see a missed call from Myra; I instantly called her back.

"Hey, hun. What's up?"

"Not much. Just watching my man get dressed."

At the moment, he was just putting on a pair of boxers; he turned toward me and shook his head.

"Tell him I say 'hi'." she said laughing.

"Myra says 'hi'." I said to Zack.

He simply waved like a dork.

“He says ‘hi’.”

I laughed and looked at him; this time, he was walking toward me with shorts on and a shirt in hand.

“So, what are you guys up to?”

“Headed to dinner soon. Gonna meet up with his bandmates.”

“Do Krissy and I still get to meet them?”

“Of course. Just have to discuss the details."

He kept his eyes on me while putting his shirt on. Was he doing this to drive me crazy? Because it's working. I couldn't keep my eyes off him. We quickly discussed the details about tomorrow's plan.

"Well, since you two are getting ready to head to dinner, I'll talk to you tomorrow.”

“Ok. Bye hun.”

“Bye.”

I hung up and watched Zack take the phone out of my hand and pick me up. I giggled and locked my legs around his waist.

“What do you think you're doing?” I said with my arms around his neck.

“I answered that question earlier.”

“You’re a smartass, Merrick.”

“Thank you, Paulson.”

He kissed me and I didn’t want to go anywhere.

“What do you suppose we do now? I thought we were headed out to dinner.”

“I don’t know."

"You are ridiculous. You know that?"

He shrugged.

“Let’s just go because if we stay, we’ll never get to dinner and the guys will know what we’ve been doing. Now, do you want that?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Definitely not.”

“Ok. Let’s go then.”

He set me down, so I could actually put my shoes on and we could leave. Once we did, I was a bit too excited; I was eager to hear some stories about Zack that I may have not heard yet... you know, the embarrassing ones. We arrived at the restaurant fifteen minutes later and I was starving. We saw Rian first as Zack was about to ask the hostess if anyone had arrived.

"He's over there!" I said, pointing toward Rian.

He laughed as I tugged on his shirt. We walked over and was immediately greeted by him.

“I’m assuming Alex and Jack are on their way?" Zack asked.

“Yep. Any minute now.”

As excited as I was, I was also a bit nervous which must’ve showed since Zack rubbed his hand on my leg. I smiled and kissed his cheek.

“I’ve never known you to be into PDA.”

That’s when I saw Jack come from behind and lay a wet kiss on Zack’s other cheek.

“Dude.” he said as I handed him a tissue.

Everyone burst out in laughter… all five of us.

“What’s this talk of PDA?” Jack asked.

“Have you ever known Zack to be into PDA?” Rian asked.

“Definitely not.” Alex butted in.

“There’s a first for everything. I guess.” Zack said.

I was expecting a better answer, but I let it go.

“I know you have a better answer than that.” Alex said.

Glad he’s thinking what I’m thinking.

“Cat got your tongue, babe?” I asked.

Fuck it. I’m saying something; I am his girlfriend, after all.

“You’re gonna think I’m cheesy.”

“Probably.” Jack replied.

I wanted to hear this. Zack looked at me and I smiled.

“I’ve never met anyone like Riley before; that’s obvious. But, I decided I didn’t care what anyone thought. She means everything to me and I want everyone to know it.”

I blushed and had to fight the urge to kiss him.

“You’re right. You’re a cheese ball.”

Zack intertwined his fingers with mine.

“You two are so cute that you make me wanna puke.” Alex said.

I could say the same of him and Lisa and I haven’t even met her before.

“Anyway, I’m curious. What is like on the tour bus with Mr. PDA, over here?” I asked.

“It’s okay. I guess. He needs to have better hygiene.” Alex said.

I laughed.

“That’s just because of me working out so much.” Zack said, defending himself.

“More showers would be great, babe.” I said, tapping his knee.

“Not you, too.”

“I say it with love.”

He sighed.

“And he has sleep apnea. Damn. He snores like you wouldn’t believe.” Jack added.

“I can. I’ve spent the night a few times. I get it.”

“You’re mean. You all are. I certainly wasn’t expecting that from you.”

“You’re a little too sensitive, but I don’t mind that.”

“Okay. We’ve said before that we liked Riley without even meeting her, but now that we have, this solidifies it.” Rian said.

Zack brought me in closer as I blushed.

“Glad I have your approval.”

“You have it faster than we did with ole whatshername, and look what Zack found. Someone more worthy of his time.”

“You can say that again. I’ve had an encounter with her myself and that wasn’t good to put it nicely.”

I hated that she was brought up, but that was to be expected. After that, Anna wasn’t mentioned again and I was ever thankful as much I imagined Zack was.

“Back to his sleeping habits, he sleeps on a top bunk and he fell out in the middle of the night. He didn’t even remember it the next day.” Jack said.

“Is that true?” I asked, hitting him on the shoulder.

“Apparently. I was certainly sore the next day.”

“I bet you were.”

“You would be, too.”

“You have a point.”

I also thought about how sore I was the morning after the first time we had sex; I could hardly walk straight. I hoped a smirk wouldn’t show up on my face because they would say something and I didn’t wanna mention anything about my sex life in front of them; I like to keep that between Zack and I, and to a certain degree, my friends.

“So, we’ve heard about how competitive and athletic you are, how you beat Zack twice in races… anything else we should know?” Alex asked.

Zack had told him the basics before: my family, my former home and the mention of how my friends were huge ATL fans, but there were certain things, I’m glad that he didn’t mention certain things aside from my sex life, of course.

“He was a nervous wreck when it came to meeting my family. My mom and sisters instantly loved him, but my dad was a different story. My dad is intimidating, but also a big teddy bear once you get to know him. He didn’t like Zack even though he hadn’t met him yet…”

“Don’t blame him. Fantastic that he got over it so quickly.”

“How can you not love someone with a smile like Zack’s?”

I was apprehensive about telling them the night my ex almost my killed me and that initial first date, so I didn’t bother. It was hard enough telling Zack, so telling his best friends would be tough and I wasn’t ready for that. That night seemed to last forever when it reality, it was just four hours and I was exhausted by the time it ended; I was ready for sleep.

“What do you think of the guys?” Zack asked, lying next to me.

“They’re as advertised, plus more. I love them. You have amazing friends and you are lucky to have them.”

“You are too sweet.” he said before pulling me into a deep kiss.

“It’s true. There’s no way I could lie to you.”

“I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

I snuggled into him and thought about how excited I was for what was to come next. Sleep soon followed and I fell asleep with a smile upon my face

Notes

About damn time. It’s been over three years since I last updated and I apologize. Writer’s block is a hell of a thing and I can’t believe it’s up. Hope it’s good enough. A lot of hard work went into this.
