"Stop!" I laughed, I can't deal with all of these cheesy jokes.! 

Zack raised his eyes. What beautiful eyes, they melted my soul. Okay. Now I was sounding like a cheesy fry. Wow! There rubbing off on me.! 

Will gave us a willing look. "Baby." He pointed at me. "Your eyes are as blue as the ocean, and I'm lost at sea.!"

I shook my head, than reached over the table to William. "Nice try, but my eyes are green." 

Everyone cracked, when Audrey came to the table. "I'm riding home with you Connor." My eyes scraped her then Zackary.. what the- how did she know that we'd been at IceCreamLand? 

"I have to take Riley to work." Zack stated.

"Fine. I'll go with you. I just have to make it for dinner, last night your dad's going to be in." Audrey cocked her head at me. "You won't mind ridding with me would you?"

I shook my head without saying a word. Yes. Yes I would. "Good. See you later." As she skipped off... Great.. This ought to be perfect.!

"You've never held hands while driving with Lexi.!" Audrey facted. "Nor have you none the silly jokes." 

In my head I just rolled my eyes. Was she really going off about what Zack did with me, and not Lexi? Pretty Lame. But.. if you think about it.. it was kinda cute.. to know that he didn't do silly little, random things with Lexi.. made my day. 

Zackary just took a quick glimpse at me and winked. Gosh.! That never got old. Who knew one little wink to the eye could leave me blushing for hours.! Crazy right?

"OHmigosh.! You really love her.!" Audrey grabbed my shoulder. "No way! You're in love with Riley!.. but why?!?" Her grib was on my already purple bruise, and I couldn't help but to tighten my hand on Zack's.

Audrey pushed down on my shoulder, sending more pain, I gritted my teeth, bringing blood. I couldn't take this anymore. I turned to Audrey, and talked through my teeth. "Audrey. You're hurting me." I took a deep breath, not wanting to sound like my skin was burning off.. but I know tomorrow.. I'll have a black hand print. 

"Audrey. Let go of Riley., and stop spazing out about how I feel." Zack demanded to her. I couldn't help but smile in my head. Audrey said that he loved me.. and he didn't say other wise... YIPPYKIYA!^#@*!! I had a little dance party in my head.

We got out of the truck meeting in front of it. I stared into his deep gaze.. Zackary put his arms around me and kissed my nose. He looked up to the sky, still holding me. "Is there a rainbow today?" He said with a smirk.

I looked in the sky. What in the world was he talking about? It hasn't even rained today, how in the world could there be a rainbow? "Zack? What are you talking about?"

He leaned down with the most whitest teeth shining into a smile. "Oh, because I just found my treasure!" 

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I fell for it.. this was the time for me to put my head in the palm of my hand. 'But instead I just laughed, hugging him.

Zack let go of my hold to only kiss me again. His hands went to my shoulders, went it hit my left I flinched. He looked at my shoulder than glanced back to me. "Did she really hurt you?"

Yes. "No." I faked a smile. "I'm fine." Lie. Lie. Lie. Gosh I hate lieing.! 

"Okay." He gave a wiry smile. "I'll come and pick you up after work." As he gave me one last kiss and walked to his truck.

"Hey. Do you happen to have a band-aid?" I gotta get him back somehow.!

He gave me worried look holding the truck door open. "Why, are you okay?" Zack asked, how Audrey listened to each word we said.
