Zack was hot.
Oh yeah, well of course, contemplating all meanings of the word hot, he could fit a few other descriptions... but right now he was... excessively and annoyingly warm. The broken electric fan in the corner lay opened, almost smiling at him and saying, Wahaha, no cool breeze now, buck!
And it was true. The sweltering hot sun outside his window brought in more and more hot air, making the room one big oven. By the time his family got home they'd have Kentucky Fried Zackie waiting for them. With a small groan, Zack stood to open the window even more in hopes of tempting a cool breeze to come in. Instead, he got the smells of a neighbor's delicious barbecue. Perfect. Sweltering hot and hungry.
The plate used to carry Meg's cookies had been retrieved, but the cookies were still down there, and he half thought about going outside and picking some up. Zack couldn't cook for his life, so he decided to order some pizza a little later. Right now he had to get something cold, or he would die.
He padded downstairs, aware of his mother still asleep in her bedroom. She wasn't feeling too well and Zack knew he'd have to give her a lot of space--Marissa tended to get very cranky when she was tired. Heading to the fridge, he took out a popsicle that Jess had been saving for later and then went out onto the front porch to eat it. Oh, don't get a heart attack, he was in one of the large wicker chairs since he knew his family would kill him if he did anything but rest.

ooc: Kentucky Fried Zacky...? GENIUS! lol...I can picture him doing that half naked...*snickers* I mean uhhh...*hits head* THOUGHTS...OUT...NOW! ;D eheh...
Since the family car went with Candi's mom that day, she walked towards the Alejo household. It was pretty hot, sure, but she didn't mind. Usually most people would get tired the distance between her house and Zack's was pretty far, fortunately for her she had powerful legs. So it didn't take that much out of her.
While walking the raven-haired hispanic was still unsure whether she should visit the adult. He was supposed to be resting. The poor guy got beaten up for her for heaven's sake! Why wouldn't he be exhausted? Candi sighed, not noticing that she had already arrived to her destination.

ooc:...i know i know, i can just press modify and bla bla bla...but i dnt wna! so sue me for being a b*tch  It took Candi a few moments before her brain actually processed the fact that she had arrived. Looking at the house in front of her, she let out a huge breathe she hadn't known to be taken in. 'Alright, just calm down. It's only Zack after all...'Closing her brown eyes while taking calm even breathes, she composed herself. Pressing the door bell, Candi waited. |

PIZZA! was the first thing that popped into Zack's head but then he faintly remembered that no one had ordered pizza in the first place. Sighing dramatically at his reflection in the window glass, he went over to the kitchen door and then slipped slightly, the glass of iced tea he was holding spilling all over his shirt. With a groan, Zack dabbed at it uselessly with a tissue and then went to answer the door anyway.
He rubbed at his eyes as one hand gripped the doorknob and pulled it forward to him. "Alejo residence, may I help--"
Candi.
"Oh, shoot--" Grinning sheepishly under her confused stare, Zack tried to cover the stain on his shirt and asked himself if he had even touched a comb that morning. "Candi, sorry, did you get my note? I'm supposed to stay in this house the whole day..."

It took most, if not all, Candi's will power to not laugh hysterically at the sight in front of her. There was Zach with a huge stain on his shirt, his hair disheveled, sweating profusely; all that combined with the cute confused look on his face...she couldn't hold it in anymore. So she let her laughter out. It took her awhile to compose herself before straightening herself and facing him once more.
"Yeah I got the letter. I came here to, you know, see if you needed any company. Besides I did promise you a visit remember?" she answered with a small, timid smile.

He had been startled at first at how hard she was laughing at him, but then Zack realized how funny he probably looked and laughed along. "Yeah, so it's my fault I'm here unprepared. I get it." Shaking his head, he let her into the house and left the door open. "It's too hot to close anything... would you mind waiting while I take a shower? I really have to change, besides," he explained.

"Sure, no worries and sorry for dropping by without telling you. It was a last minute thing." Candi said coming inside. "You've got an awesome house, by the way. Better than mine anyway..." She complimented sticking her tongue out a bit in a playful manner. Again, another habit of hers; Bea had it too. Zack's house was great. It wasn't too big, neither was it too small. It even had a fire place, something Candi wanted in her own family's home. The whole scenery and placement of the furniture complimented the whole feel of the house. "It really is great..." she mumbled absent absent mindedly, a warm smile on her face. ooc: Why Candi would do that? No clue...just had nothing else to write...hehehehehe... |

ooc: lol, she spaced out
He closed the door of his room behind him and took a quick shower before stepping out in some slightly more comfortable clothes. Zack came back out and saw Candi looking at the fireplace. "Yeah, it's great for toasting marshmallows and all, but right now I'd rather have an airconditioner that big," he said with mock sadness. Disappearing momentarily into the kitchen, he brought out two glasses of ice-cold lemonade. The ice had been frozen into heart-shaped ice cubes. "Sisters," he said at the shapes, shaking his head.

"Thanks" Candi said as she watched the fireplace once more while drinking the heavenly lemonade now and again. After finally realize how much of an idiot she looked when staring at a fireplace with no fire...or in need of anything, she looked down in the glass. Seeing the heart-shaped ice cubes..."Aww Zack, these are so cute. Is this some kind of hobby you have?"
ooc: FINALLY REPLIED! YEY!

He comically shook his head, holding the glass away from him. "Help--extreme girliness--infecting--poisoning--" Edging down to the couch with each word, he ended in an utterly defeated position, slumped "dead" on the couch with one hand reaching under a pillow. Two seconds passed, and then Zack suddenly and calmly sat up and pulled out the DVD he had found underneath the couch pillow. It was "Back to the Future", not exactly a new feature but still good.
"You ever watched this?" he asked, popping the DVD into their player and opening the cabinet to reveal a small but reliable TV.

"Actually...no. Surprisingly. I mean, everyone else has." the hispanis replied as she absentmindedly watched his every movement. Shaking her head she looked back down to stare at the heart-shaped ice cubes...not noticing the little smile that had graced her face.

"Then now's your chance." He plopped down on one end of the sofa, leaving her plenty of room to sit as far away from him as she wanted to. Well, it was also because breeze graced the room in that area, but that wasn't the point. Zack pressed Play on the DVD remote and started watching, pointing out parts to Candi that were going to be funny and still talking, even though they were watching. His gaze lingered on her face as her eyes, thoughtful but laughing with a life of their own, looked at him, at the TV, at him, at him, at the TV, at him, at him, at HIM...
OOC: lol she's not really looking at him that much he's just ignoring the fact that she still looks at the TV XD

ooc: lol understood.
Candi nodded, indicating that she was listening to what Zack was saying, while watching the television.
After the movie finished she tightly closed her eyes, seeing bright dots appear before the blanket of darkness that she had enveloped herself in. Must've been from watching the television to long. Candi put her arms above her head and stretched making a smal groaning sound. That was how comfortable she had been.
ooc: *snickers* ...for the record...I WASNT THINKING BOUT NETHING!

ooc: Good for you.
He stood up and then stretched, too, grinning when she was done recovering from what Jess called long-movie-syndrome. Blinking a few times, he looked out the window and sighed. "I don't even feel too tired. We should have gone out to the park, except my Mother says that as long as I still live in her house, I have to do what she says." Laughing and shaking his head, Zack pushed open the window glass and leaned on the sill, looking at the houses along Rosewood Drive and the park that could be faintly seen a few blocks away.

Candi stood up, slowly walking towards the window to stand beside Zack. Just seeing the park that was visible a wide smile met her face, not to mention the amused flickering that appeared in her eyes. The memory of how they met...it seemed like it was a millenia ago when in reality it was only yesterday. Several things had happened between the time span, so why wouldn't it feel like it happened long ago. Looking towards Zack, the hispanis hadn't noticed how intently she was staring. Her eyes following the outline of his facial features. After realizing what she was doing, however, she quickly looked away blushing like a young school girl. Candi wasn't used to this...but it felt, somewhat...nice. ooc: LOL!"...nice" i cudnt think of another word, so sue me  |
