Chapter 124: Zak's Biggest Mistake

After Zak and I had finished dinner, we decided to walk for a bit along the Strip. While we walked, Zak told me the next lockdown – which was in one week's time – would be the last one we'd have to film for the year, and also for the season, since it would be mid-November at that point.

I found myself feeling a bit relieved at having a break from filming for a while. The past six months had been pretty hectic, with getting a new job, being on the road a lot, having filmed seven episodes of "Ghost Adventures" with one more episode left to film, dealing with more intense paranormal experiences, and the start of my first relationship ever.

It was hard to believe that Zak and I had been dating for three weeks already, although I knew that probably wasn't considered a long time for most people. But at the same time, it felt as if we'd been dating for longer than that, since we had become close so quickly.

With the time off from filming, and with our first Christmas and New Years coming up, I was definitely looking forward to spending more quality time with Zak.

As we began walking back toward the "Stratosphere Casino, Hotel & Tower" and to where Zak had parked the car, we ended up being recognized by some more fans.

It had been a man and a woman, named Tim and Natalie. I guessed they were in their early twenties or so, and they were dating – as they introduced each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. Thankfully, it was all positive comments regarding the new season with me being a part of the crew. We talked with them for a few minutes, and then took some pictures with them – a group shot, and then some "selfies". Zak had gone first, taking a selfie with Natalie, and then with Tim. Then it was my turn, first taking a selfie with Natalie, and then with Tim.

Zak's body language while I took the picture with Tim clearly told me he was not happy with Tim's pose with me. We had stood side by side, and I wrapped my arm around his back. When Tim wrapped his arm around me, his hand was a little higher up on my side near my breast than I would of liked – but at the same time, it was so quick, that I doubted Tim had done it intentionally.

Once we said our "goodbyes", we walked the rest of the way back in silence – I could tell Zak was tense – and I decided to wait until we were in his car before I spoke up.

"Zak...the picture happened so quick, he probably didn't even realize where his hand ended up," I said softly.

"What?" Zak asked, looking at me. "You mean Tim?" Zak added, acting completely confused.

"Don't play dumb with me, I saw you cross your arms," I said, laughing slightly when he made a "I was caught" face.

"You know me too well," Zak grumbled, and I chuckled quietly.

"Don't stress over it, okay? I was a little uncomfortable myself, but I'm not used to meeting fans yet," I said. "Plus, I am dressed up," I added.

"I knew I shouldn't of taken you out where other men would you see you," Zak joked, causing me to laugh.

I leaned over toward him and gently kissed his cheek.

"You're the only man I care about," I said softly.

Zak turned his head to look at me and smiled.

"And you're the only woman I care about," Zak replied softly, and I smiled.

"I better be, I have a lot more female fans to worry about than you have to worry about male fans!" I teased.

"Aww, were you jealous?" Zak teased.
