*Zac*
"What are you watching son ?" My father walks into the living room, looking curiously at me as I laugh.

I look up shortly. "It's just this video by a girl I met the other day.. it's about how much women do to make themself beautiful for men and how most men don't even notice because it really don't matter.. it's hilarious".

"It's sound like it with the way you were laughing". He say, sitting down on the couch. "Where did you meet this girl ?"

I keep my eyes on the phone, trying to stop my cheeks from turning red. I mean I can't say 'in the kitchen, the morning after I slept with her mother'. "Through a friend".

"Oh.. okay.. is she a nice girl ?" He turns on the tv.

"So when are we going to Shekinah's for dinner ?" He is used to me ignoring these questions about women.

It is Christmas eve today and I have spend the last 2 days watching a lot of Hope's old videos and reading her blog. She is absolutely hilarious, but also so very heartfelt and warm. By now I am kicking myself so hard for sleeping with her mother.

But I mean.. okay so I had been longing for someone to.. Well mostly hold me, give me warmth and attention. And Darlene had been taking charge. She was sexy and it seemed easy, like she wouldn't be trouble after. And for once I went for it. On the other hand, if I hadn't .. I might never have met Hope.

I make a snap decision and find her latest post on instagram it is a picture from this morning of her in front of a Christmas tree in what looks like a wooden cabin wearing a cute pj that says 'kiss me'. She is making kissy lips and the caption reads: 'Christmas kisses to you all from me, hope you have a happy holiday and loads of fun and love'.

I breathe in quickly and write. 'Sending a holiday kiss right back, hope you have a merry Christmas .. loving you videos so far'.

Seconds later I kind of regret, it then I decide that it was totally innocent, I mean I just wished her a merry Christmas.

Putting away my phone I try to focus on the program my father is watching. I don't get what it is that Hope did to me in the short time we spend together, but my mind keep slipping to her and I find myself wanting to know more about her.

Later we go to my sisters house for dinner, the whole family and some friends and don't get me wrong, I enjoy it immensely. Especially playing with my nephew Gryffin. But I wish I wasn't there alone, but with a family of my own.

When we are done with dinner and everyone are relaxing and talking in the living room I pull out my phone, realising that Hope have answered. 'Thank you sweetie. I'll pass the kiss on to my dear mother'.

I can't help chuckling, okay I deserved that. She is so cheeky. I decide to give her a follow, as I can see she has started following me.

Reading some of the comments I see that some of her fans has noticed my post and commented things like. 'You know Zachary Levi ?' 'Oh you lucky girl having Zac write you, he is so hot' and 'Oh who is this hottie writing you, me like'.

Do I dare ? I know I am on thin ice. Not so much with her, I have a feeling she can take quite a lot of poking, but this is public and rumours travel fast. But in the end I end up answering. 'That kiss was for you darling, not your mother'.

"What is he doing ?" I hear my sister Shekinah's voice ask.

Then my father chuckle. "Well, apparently our little Zac has met some girl that has him giggling like a schoolgirl constantly.. but he won't really tell anything".

Shekinah slumps down beside me, trying to look at my screen. "So who is she ? Come on bro.. let me see".

"No.. it's not like that. I just like her videos.. she is funny and such. Dad is just being stupid". I hide my phone.

"Oh boy, you really like her". She giggles. "No really, it's so cute Zac and I am so happy for you".

And of course this is when my older sister Sarah walks into the living room. "What's up with you Zac ? Your all flustered".

I just groan. Shit this is going to be a long christmas and of course Shekinah answer. "Zac has the hots for some chick he met".

"She isn't a chick, she..". I instantly realise my mistake and shut my mouth, but it is to late and everyone is of course laughing.

Sarah smile at me. "Oh he's really hit hard.. that's so cute".

I groan again. "I am not, she is just a girl I shared a breakfast with okay.. and she makes these internet videos and they are funny and deep and.... I'll just stop now because you are going to tease me relentlessly no matter what".

"You got that right". Shekinah's husband Ian say. "But breakfast Zac ? Where do one just share breakfast with a girl ?"

This time I have no doubt I turn beet red from my toes to the tip of my ears. Oh damn I should not have said that. "I.. well.. shit.. I plead the fifth".

"Zac.. Zaaac". Shekinah say leaning in, and before I realise she has snatched my phone. "Oh is this her ? Hope.. oh she is really cute. So you two.. what ? Had a fling and now you want more ?"

"Look I don't want to talk about this.. and you guys do not want to hear it.. believe me.. so could we just let it rest ? I promise that if it leads to anything I'll tell you". I reach for my phone.

Shekinah is scrolling through the comments. "Oh lord Zac, publicly flirting with her.. she must be something.. hey what is this about her mother ?"

"Just a joke.. nothing .. just ignore it". I look pleadingly at her.

She hands me back my phone. "Oh lord.. you really have a hard task ahead sweetie".
