49| Zoey And Her Mystery Guy

"Just stay there and watch how I do it." Zoey said to Travis as she jumped up and clung herself to the pipe.

"I can't do it. I should go." Travis said.

"Yes, you can. It's easy. See." She said and dragged herself upwards.

Travis tried to concentrate but the sight of her thighs in that skirt was far too distracting.

It hardly took Zoey a minute to climb up the pipe into her room. The next was Travis, whose hands were trembling as he hugged the pipe and pulled himself up.

"Just don't loose your grip." Zoey said and watched as he struggled. The fear of being caught by her Dad or any security guard filled her and she added, "Don't fall. And if you do, don't scream."

Travis glared at her and then climbed up slowly. Unlike Zoey, it took him about five minutes to climb up that pipe but once he reached her window, it felt harder to jump in.

"Give your hand to me." Zoey said.

"I'll fall." He replied, angling his neck to look at the ground beneath him.

"No, you won't. I won't let you fall." Zoey said and extended her hand.

Still hesitant, Travis took one hand off the pipe and gripped Zoey's small one. For a brief second, his feet slipped and he saw his death dwindling in front of his eyes but instantly, Zoey's hand wrapped around his arm and she pushed him up towards the window. Slowly, he dragged himself up and the next thing he know, he was falling forwards inside her room.

A painful groan left his mouth as he straightened and found himself sprawled on the floor. A sound of laughter reached his ears and he turned his head towards Zoey, whose heard was slightly tilted back and her eyes were closed as she laughed out loud at his misery.

At first, he felt angry but soon, the anger evaporated and he felt himself chuckling with her. His chuckling intensified as the memories of tonight flashed in front of his eyes.

"Ssshhh," Zoey said to him. They both stopped for a moment but once again burst out laughing on seeing each other's faces.

"Remember that stripper." He reminded her.

"The one with the artificial tail in her ass." Zoey said and the memory caused both of them to laugh harder. "And... And the old man who caught us skinny dipping." She said.

"Oh, he is scarred for life now." Travis said in between the laughters.

They both kept looking at each other's face while laughing, until they were breathless. The urge to breathe dimmed their laughter and then a peaceful silence prevailed in the room.

Their eyes were still locked together but the humor in them now was replaced with an uncertain desire. They both slowly scooted closer until there was no distance between their faces. He could practically smell the mint flavour of the ice-cream in her breath.

The air between them charged with tension that made it harder for them to breathe properly.

"Kiss me." She said and without wasting another second, he obliged. His mouth invaded hers while his hand traced her torso. They forgot about the pizza they were planning to order because the only thing in their mind was the other person.

When the kiss wasn't enough to cure the desire bubbling in his belly, he pulled her forwards and guided her on top of him. Their lips once again melted together while his hands explored  all the delicious curves of her body.

For Zoey, his soft touch was igniting something deep inside her. She wanted to feel his hands directly on her skin so breaking the kiss for a small moment, she took off her top, leaving behind just a plain bra.

"Oh God." Travis muttered under his breath and leaned forwards. His lips landed on the junction of her shoulder and neck and he placed a kiss there. His tongue then replaced his mouth and he licked the skin of her neck until he heard a soft moan. The sexy sound urged him to suck harder.

"Oh..." Zoey mumbled as he traced a path up to her jaw. All her other senses were numbed now and the only thing she felt was his lips sucking the sensitive skin of her jaw, his hands on her breast, his tongue doing wonders.

Soon, she felt him stand up and then pick her in his arms. He took her to the bed and lay her on her back, moving on top of her. Usually, she was the dominant one but right now, it felt so good to submit to him and let him handle her.

"Are you sure you are not drunk?" Zoey asked breathlessly as he traced a path down to her navel with his tongue.

He lifted his head to look at her, his pupils dilated with lust. "Pretty sure."

"Great." She closed her eyes as she felt him taking off her skirt. His hand grazed over her thigh and she let out a loud groan in frustration.

"Sh... Should I stop?" He asked.

"Don't you dare, Anderson." She said and wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him forwards.

••••••••••

An hour later, both of them were lying side by side, out of breath and out of senses. The only sound that could be heard in the room was the sound of their harsh breaths.

Too tired to move, Zoey closed her eyes and fought with the urge to fall asleep because she had to talk to Travis first. She had to make sure he knows what this night meant. It was great, in fact it was one of the best hour of her life but it didn't change anything. She was still the same person who doesn't like to be in a relationship or be in love with a person. Travis makes her feel things she doesn't want to feel so to stop that, she has to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Beside her, Travis was frozen on his spot. He couldn't believe he just lost his virginity, and to none other than Zoey Crawford. It was better than anything he had ever imagined. But it scared him. One by one, he was crossing all the boundaries between Zoey and him, and it was dangerous. What they just did could land him in so much trouble if his mother or Richard Crawford catches him. No, this can't happen again.

"Zoey."

"Travis."

They both said simultaneously and angled their necks to look at the other person.

"You say first." Zoey said, trying her best not to look below his neck. He was so sexy that it was hard not to pounce at him right there.

"No, you say first." Travis said while his traitorous eyes travelled down Zoey's almost naked body. He couldn't see much in the dark but it was enough to make him fully alert down there.

"I... Um... This can't---" Her words got caught in her throat when she felt his thumb brush against her waist.

"What?" He asked while his lips once again placed small kisses on her neck. Now that he has had a taste of her, he couldn't control himself, especially when she was naked in bed few inches away from him.

"Nothing." She said and snaked her arms around his head, pulling him in for another kiss.

•••••••••••

The next morning, bright sunlight entering through the glass window of her room wake Zoey up. She stretched her limbs and yawned before opening her eyes and it took her a minute to adjust to the sharp light.

Rolling on the bed, she expected to find Travis there but he was gone and in his place, a post it note was placed.

I had to reach home before my Mom wakes up. I tried to wake you up but you didn't. We will talk about this later.

Travis.

A smile appeared on her lips on reading that and she hopped out of the bed to dress up for school.

Her driver drove her to the school and reaching there, her eyes searched for him. When she couldn't find him, she made her way to Althea sitting at their usual spot.

Hi." She said and flopped down beside her.

"You look happy." Althea noticed and a faint blush appeared on Zoey's cheeks.

"I... Um... Well..."

"Look like somebody had a fun night." She heard Olive say who was walking towards them in her usual attire that is trouser and shirt.

"Is it that obvious?" Zoey asked in horror.

"Silly, there is a hickey on your neck." Olive pointed out and Zoey's eyes widened. She pulled out a small mirror from her bag and looked into it. A screech left her mouth as she noticed the huge hickey on the left side of her neck.

"Shit." She muttered under her breath.

"Here, take this." Althea pulled out the small scarf that was holding her hair in place and wrapped it around Zoey's neck.

"So, who is the mystery guy?" Olive asked.

"Um... Nobody you know." Zoey lied blatantly.

"Oh. Well, for a hickey this size, the sex must have been great." Olive winked at her and Zoey felt another wave of heat on her face.

"Can we talk about something else?" Zoey asked.

"Wait, are you blushing?" Althea asked.

"I... I don't blush." Zoey gulped hard.

"Lie. See, she is blushing." Olive pointed towards the reddish hue on her cheeks. "Now you have to tell us about this guy."

"Guys, can we talk about something else?" Zoey groaned in embarassment and that's when her gaze landed on Travis sitting far away from them, under a tree. When their eyes met Zoey, her cheeks grew hotter, if that was even possible.
