Chapter 26 Pink Underwear

• Zavion POV
• She stepped out of her house wearing the dress I had gifted her, and in that moment, she was the most stunning woman I had ever laid eyes on. It felt surreal to finally see the love of my life standing right in front of me, the girl I had dreamed about for so long. I had always wanted to call her Zee, a nickname that felt just right, before I finally mustered the courage to use her full name, Zoella. It was a twist of fate that we shared the same initials, and I couldn’t help but feel that destiny was smiling down on me. I hoped that her feelings of animosity towards me would fade once she realized I was Z, her best friend, and the boy she had secretly admired.
• My heart raced with excitement and nerves as I approached her, taking in the sight of her beautifully styled blonde hair and the way the dress hugged her figure, leaving me momentarily speechless. The way the bodice dipped low made my throat dry, and an overwhelming desire surged through me; I wanted nothing more than to hold her close, to kiss her. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, her eyes roamed over me, igniting a fire of longing within me. "Very handsome," she said, and I opened my mouth to respond, but all that came out was a jumble of stutters. Zoe smiled, her lashes fluttering, interpreting my awkwardness as a compliment. She adjusted my tie and stepped back, scrutinizing me with a playful seriousness. "Yes," she affirmed again, "very handsome indeed."
