You're Not Like the Others

Ch.16

It's been about a week since Zak watched over Abby while I was in a meeting all day that day. I've noticed a few things...I've noticed two new Barbie's... Abby's been whispering to Zak alot lately, it doesn't bother me but I find it a little weird... And my chocolate chips have been opened, that's like a sin if I'm not the one that opens them first.

"Mommy, Daddy's here!" Abby called from the living room

I walked out of my room with the clothes basket and put it on the couch when I got to the living room. I opened the door just as Zak was about to ring the bell

"Hey Zak"

"Hey Kayla" he said and kissed me, then entered the house

"Doing some laundry?" he said with humor hidden in his voice

"Yeah, Since it's my day off I figured I could clean the house a little bit...AND I have a bone to pick with you " I said squinting and pointing at him

"Daddy" Abby said and went to Zak

Zak picked her up and put her in his strong left arm

Why am I so fancinated with his STRONG and PERFECT arms today? I see them every day I thought

"Earth to Kayla"

I snapped out of my trance and looked at a smirking Zak

"Huh?"

"I thought you were going to do the laundry"

"I am...I was just thinking"

"About what?" Zak asked and his smirk got wider

"I was just wondering why someone opened my chocolate chips before I did and used half of the bag" I said changing the subject

And when I asked that Zak's smirk fell and he had a couple of expressions run through his face. One was the 'Deer-in-the-Headlights' look and the other one was the 'Busted' look. I chuckled a little and took the clothes to the laundry room. Zak started to follow me but was interrupted by the door bell.

ANYONE'S POV

Zak sighed and answered the door. When he opened the door there was a little blonde boy standing there ready to speak but stopped

"Hi Brett" Abby said smiling

"Hi" he said shyly

"Brett, don't be shy, he's not gonna hurt you" Gloria said

"I-I was wonding if Abby c-could come with us for my birthday party?"

"Where's it at?" Zak asked nicely

"Chuck-E-Cheese"

Zak inwardly groaned, Chuck-E-Cheese...was every kids dream but a parents worst nightmare.

"Please daddy" Abby said looking at Zak in the eyes

"You're going to have to ask momma" he said with a smile

He let Abby down and she took off to the Laundry room

"I don't think we've met before...My name's Gloria, I live next door" she said extending her hand

"Hi Gloria, I'm Zak" he said shaking her hand

"How are you liking parenthood?"

"I'm still learning the ropes" he said chuckling nervously

"You'll get the hang of it"

KAYLA'S POV

I heard Zak talking to Gloria and I heard little footsteps coming closer
