Angel of Light (A Zak Bagans Story)

Chapter 51: New Information

I was momentarily distracted from my shyness when I looked at Zak. He was wearing baggy, knee length, black swim trunks with a white cross design on one leg, and a white, form fitting tank top.

Lord Jesus.

I felt my shyness creep back up on me as I saw Zak start walking over to me, not at all hiding the fact that he was eyeing me up and down.

"Hey..." I said softly.

"Hey," Zak replied, smiling as he reached me. "You look extra beautiful today..." Zak added softly.

I felt my face flush.

"Thank you..." I replied shyly.

"See! I told you!" I heard Cheryl exclaim, while giggling.

I made a slightly annoyed face as I looked past Zak to look at Cheryl, but noticed Aaron was holding his phone up - he was filming us.

"Aaron!" I exclaimed, but couldn't help but laugh.

Zak looked back over his shoulder and started to laugh too.

"You better not have my ass blocking the beautiful view," Zak said.

Damn you...

Aaron laughed.

"Mainly just Ali," Aaron said, tapping his phone, most likely saving the video and then put the phone in his pocket.

"If you upload that video I will scalp you alive," I warned, causing Aaron, Cheryl and Zak to laugh.

"So you like the outfit, eh Zak?" Cheryl asked.

"Cheryl..." I grumbled.

She laughed.

"I do," Zak said, looking back at me, smiling.

I smiled despite my shyness.

"I'm good!" Cheryl said, as she and Aaron walked toward the patio doors.

Zak raised an eyebrow in confusion, and I laughed at the look on his face.

"The outfit was a gift from her. She felt I should attempt looking girly," I said, rolling my eyes.

Zak laughed.

"Well, you look beautiful, no matter what you're wearing. But I do like this look too," Zak said, leaning down and kissing my cheek.

I smiled again.

"Wait until you see the bikini I picked out for her," Cheryl chimed in.

I turned to look at her and shot her a glare.

Aaron laughed as Cheryl yelped and jokingly hid behind him.

"If looks could kill!" Aaron said.

I couldn't help but laugh as Cheryl innocently peeked over Aaron's shoulder.

I suddenly stiffened as I felt Zak step up closer behind me, and I felt his breath against my ear.

"I can't wait to see it," Zak said softly, ignoring Aaron and Cheryl entirely.

"Only if you show me yours," I mumbled, partly joking and trying to be silly.

Zak laughed.

"Deal," he said softly.

Oh boy.

Roughly 45 minutes later...

We were all now sitting outside in the backyard. I had introduced Cheryl to Billy's wife, Diana, as they hadn't met before, and now - like at most parties - the girls and the guys were grouped up separately.
