"I am worried about her.. she doesn't know what to do with herself and her life right now". I watch Emilia.. she is walking down below the slope, LZ as always by her side and they seem deep in conversation.

Nick tightens his arm around me. We are sitting together on the swinging couch out behind the house. I have my feet up and is snuggled into his side and on the grass Bailey is rolled up against Blue, both of them sleeping in one of the last rays of sunshine.

"I think she just needs time.. It must have been quite a shock.. but someone will end up hurt here.. I talked to Matt and he loves her and feel so bad about what he did.. but he get it if she can't forgive him.. especially the Pilar thing". He sigh. "And it's clear that LZ is getting his feelings entangled in this too".

"Yeah.. he is soo.. well, in love with her.. it would be sweet if it wasn't for all the problems involved in this". I watch them, it is clear he is trying to cheer her up. "They do make a cute couple".

Nick kisses my temple softly. "Yeah.. and talking about cute couple.. beside us of course.. have you seen those two on the porch ?"

I turn my head to see Zac and Pilar, he is setting up to do a live and she keep moving things.. honestly they look like an old married couple. "So.. are those two together or not ?"

"Zac says no.. but I have a pretty clear feeling he want them to be". He chuckles. "I mean look at him".

I watch as Zac grabs Pilar by the hips, grinning at her, but she swat his hands away, shaking her head. "Oh yeah.. she denies it too.. but honestly I have never seen her act like this with a man before.. I think she really likes him".

"I really like you.. you know that right ?" He gently grab my chin and turn my head to kiss me.

"Oh I know McNaugthy". I grin at him as he breaks the kiss. "Good thing I really like you too then".

He chuckles softly. "Oh definitely a good thing.. so what do my best girl say to a paddle in the sunset ?"

"If I can sit on your board and you are doing the work I am all in". I grin at him.

"I wouldn't want it any other way.. but Shed is a bit bummed that you have taken his spot". He grin at me. "Come on let's go then".

*Pilar*
I am watching Zac do one of his lives, talking to his fans and cheering them up. To be honest watching him like this, in his element is special. He kinda lights up, soaking in the attention even if it's through a screen.. but it's not in a 'see me' kinda way.. no the guy clearly love entertaining and helping others.

Sitting on the other side of the table, behind his ipad, I am staying out of view.. I don't want to make anyone draw wrong conclusions. He actually told me his fans has been asking a lot about all of us, but apparently most me, as I am the one mostly popping up near Zac.

"Who am I living with ? Well all my best friends.. Well almost all my best friends.. but I definitely live with some great guys and gals out here". He looks up for a second, giving me a cheeky grin.

I make a face at him mouthing almost inaudible. "Great.. way to make them think we are having one big gang bang going on out here".

He bites the inside of his cheek, clearly trying not to laugh. "Yup.. such a funny bunch".

Suddenly he breaks out in song.. sitting here watching and hearing him sing is an even bigger treat.. to be honest I love his voice, it's warm and soulful and kinda draws me in.

"Do I have a girlfriend ?" His eyes goes to me again, his tongue slipping out the corner of his mouth. "I guess I have to say unfortunately no.. she.. I mean the right one, who is clearly out there somewhere, apparently don't want me".

I stick out my tongue at him, mouthing 'bastard' at him, making him chuckle.. and by the way he is wrong.. I do want him.. there I admittet it.. I am just still.. a bit scared to take the last step.

He starts singing again and I let the warm softness of his voice transport me away, closing my eyes and just listening.. pretending he is just singing to me.

I have to admit my favorite is when he sing the old big band and crooner song.. like Sinatra.. it just fits perfectly with his voice and he adds that playful edge to it, that makes it his own. So when he starts singing 'I got you under my skin' I open my eyes and just watch him.

His eyes find mine and he keeps eye contact singing. "I've got you under my skin..I tried so not to give in.. I said to myself, 'this affair never will go so well'..But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well..I've got you under my skin..".

I kinda groan, shaking my head at him, trying to signal that he should look at his screen, not at me.

He just look at me in this way, a small smile tugging at his lips, as his hand come up to touch his heart... his voice emotional. "I'd sacrifice anything, come what might.. For the sake of having you near.. In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night..And repeats, repeats in my ear.. 'Don't you know little fool, you never can win ? Use your mentality, wake up to reality'. But each time that I do, just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin..'Cause I've got you under my skin".

"Stop it". I whisper, really hoping his ipad won't pick it up and when he grin at me, I flip him off.

Oh no, I instantly recognise that Infernal cheeky grin that spreads on his face as he get up from a chair, then he lean down looking at the screen. "Just a second guys.. I just have this.. thing I need to do".

I am shaking my head as he walks towards me, whispering. "No.. do not do it Zac.. dammit get back to your fans.. stop !"

"Nope.. tired of waiting.. tired of stopping and getting interrupted". He keeps his voice low, like I am more lip reading him than hearing his voice.

He is still looking right into my eyes and I feel myself shrink into the chair as he place a hand on the back of the chair on each side of my head, leaning closer.. dammit he is going to kiss me.. no doubt.

"Ready ?" He whispers softly, his lips almost touching mine.. I try shaking my head but instead I just whimper.

And then his lips catches mine, they are just as soft as I remember, and my hands instantly goes to his hair, combing through it, as he steals my breath away in the most devilish way.

His hands has moved to my face and his teeth er softly pulling at my bottom lip, making a moan escape me, opening my mouth enough for his tongue to slip inside playfully teasing mine.

There is a dumb thumb when my leg kinda pops up hitting the table and knocking over Zac's ipad. "Whoops".

"No worries.. I think we should continue this .. talk when I am done". His lips brushes over mine before he hurries back to his chair, putting the ipad back up. "Sorry about that".

I try to keep in the giggle, wondering what his fans will make of the fact that his hair is sticking out kinda weirdly and he is wearing pink lip gloss.
