a lost dog? After my dead body. I stop Kawasaki and call the only number, I know, will always pick up.

“Hello beautiful? What’s up? Do you need some Zacky’s sweets? Are you already want a second round?”

“Yes, actually I want to come to your house, right now, if you’re not busy.” A muffled voice echoes on the other lane. Something covers the speaker and someone on the other side start to run or clean, I don’t know.

“Ah, are you serious now babe or are you messing with me?” Zac asks.

“No jokes here. Gimme your address.” He gives me an address as I asked, and I start to drive again.

When I arrive at his property, my jaw drops. Hell, I didn’t know that Zac is so rich. I stop at the gate which opens automatically. I drive through a short driveway and park my ride in front of huge metal garage’s doors. I slowly make my way to the front doors where Zac is already waiting. He welcomes me with a huge grin.

“Welcome at Zac’s property. Would you like a couple of tea?” He says with a horrible British accent. I laugh at that and nod my head yes because I am curious how he will accomplish this task. His smile quickly fades, and I laugh even more.

“I am not joking; I would like some tea. English breakfast and a milk, thank you.” I smile at him and step into the house. He follows me and motions his hand to go upstairs. I do as ask and go up. He opens the last doors to the left and my jaw drops again. I really need to accustom with this posh life and huge houses. I sit on the massive sofa.

“So, why are you here, but be honest because I know that you didn’t come here for Zac.”

“I need your help, Zac. I just found out that my father kidnapped me when I was four and my real parents let him do that and didn’t even ask him to give me back, so my life is a mess and I need somewhere to stay for a couple days.” I rush to say.

“OMG. I didn’t expect that. This is huge, like massive. Oh shit. I’m sorry Em. Do you need a hug?” My eyes water at his words and Zac rushes to embrace me. I snuggle closer to him and cry. I need this. I know that I am posing for a badass bitch, but this is very depressing. I never felt this way before. I could handle a bully who tries to be funny and shares my nude videos. I can handle the stares at school, but I cannot handle this. My whole life was a joke. I was a pawn in some sick game and the worst part is that my real parents didn’t want me.

I don’t know for how long I was crying. I compose myself and dry my face with the back of my face.

“Can I stay here for a couple of days?”

“Of course, you don’t need to ask. I will take a sofa and you can have a bed. We just need to bring your uniform and some things because I don’t have anything.”

“Yeah, I already texted Tobi. He will come here tomorrow morning with my things, if it’s okay?”

“Yes, don’t worry. Now come with me. I will give you some clean towel and my T-shirt, and we can go to bed. I mean separately.” He looks uncomfortable and so adorable.

“We can sleep in one bed. I don’t mind, we already know how we look naked. But nothing is going to happen.” I warn.

“Oh, thanks fuck. I really didn’t want to sleep on that couch.” His grin comes back.

I take a quick shower. I used Zac’s washing liquids and now I smell just like him, and of course I am wearing his T-shirt. It’s so large and comfy. I leave the bathroom and climb to bed. Zac is already laying there shirtless, and damn… he is really nice-looking guy.

“Do you like what you see?” I shook my head as his voice beams in my ears. A blush creeps to my cheeks. Why the hell am I blushing?

“Sorry, you just look… handsome. I approve.” I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.

“Don’t think about it now. You already cried a lot. Look at this from a different side. Were you unhappy with your new family?”

“No, of course not. They are amazing, they were amazing, but you know. They lied to me. They hide the truth. I lost trust in them. It’s just very disappointing.”

“Maybe they didn’t want to upset you. Look, the truth is heart-breaking and maybe they wanted good for you. They wanted you to feel wanted. I don’t know.” Maybe he is right, but this doesn’t change that they hide the truth for so many years. I am a big girl; I can handle the worst truth. Telling the truth is always a better option than hiding it, isn’t it? You have your own secret that you are hiding from them. How pathetic is that you egoist? Shit, this stupid voice is right. I know that they wanted good for me, but still, I need more time to adjust this inside my head. Or maybe you need time to explain your actions in front of yourself, because you are doing exactly what they have done? You lied. I hate this voice. I cover my head with the pillow and groan loudly.

“Don’t do that sexy groaning again because I would need to help myself.” I look at Zac who is now holding himself through the boxers. Holy shit, Em focus. I turn away from him.

“Goodnight Zac,” With that, I close my eyes and drift to sleep.

The next morning, I hear a quiet noise in the room. I know that this is not Zac because his arm is wrapped around my middle. I can feel that something is coming close to my mouth. I take the arm which creeps
