Let's Leave It In The Past

Zoey's POV

We sat on the couch kissing for what seemed like forever before he pulled back and looked into my eyes. "I love you, Zoe. I won't let anything happen to either of us. He's just being a jerk is all." He ran his fingers through my hair. "I know, Jackson."

I had a million things I wanted to say to him but was unsure how to go about it. I had made up my mind. I want to be with him and only him. I want to take him back. But the words just would not come. Does that mean I'm not ready yet?

"What's going on? You're thinking I can tell. Please tell me."

I looked up at him then stood up pacing the room. "I need to tell you something but I'm not sure how." I sighed. "Look Jackson, I want to be with you and only you. I love you. I always have. I've forgotten about everything and want you back." I laid my heart on the line hoping he would shove me away now. I'm not sure I could handle it.

I stood there vulneralbe, watching Jackson. He stood slowly and sauntered over to me, taking my hands and kissing them. "I love you to, Zoe." He cupped my face and kissed me deeply.

Jackson's POV

She ran her hands up my chest and around my neck. I continued kissing her a while before pulling back and looking deep into her eyes. "We're putting it all in the past now?" She nodded. I picked her up and twirled her around carrying her upstairs. "Let's go to the hot tub, what do you say?"

Zoey had a huge smile on her face. "I would love that." I carried her out to the hot tub, sitting her down on her feet. We slowly began undressing each other, climbing in as we did so. I lowered her down into the tub and followed her.

"Things haven't been this great in a long time." She said as she ran her hands over my shoulders and into my hair. I tangled my hands in her short blonde hair, loving how it felt like the heat between us was heating up the water in unison.

We moved our hands over each others bodies like we were searching for something, "I've missed your beautiful body and mind." I muttered against her neck, licking my way up to her ear. My body tingled with the need to make love to her, but I wanted to take my time. Things were just to good to rush them. I continued exploring her perfect body, trailing kisses from her lips down to her breast and back again, time and time again. With each kiss she moaned or whimpered.

We did that for hours until eventually she wrapped her legs around my waist. "Take me, Jackson. I want you, NOW!" She moaned as I slid my hand down her taunt belly to her sweet spot and rubbing her clit. When I had her ready for me I slid myself in her feeling her wrap around my manhood.

I moved her up and down the length of me over and over until I eventually pushed us both over the edge of ecstasy with a loud groan. "My god, Zoey. I love you, woman."

"And I do you." She wrapped her arms around my neck.

I smiled, picking her up and carrying her into her bedroom. We showered together then climbed in bed under the covers. I layed there playing with her hair and chatting with one another until we both fell asleep.

He Comes Back

Zoey's POV

I was outside sitting in my porch swing with a cup of cocoa in my hand, sipping on it and feeling confused. I wasn't sure if I could keep myself from giving in to Jackson. It was becoming harder and harder everytime I saw him, to not just grab him and drag him upstairs to my bedroom.

As I was sitting there lost in my own thoughts someone walked up to me and took my hand without realizing who it was. It snapped me back to reality and I looked up at him. "Fuck, Harley?" My heart clenched and I slapped him.

"What the fuck was that for, Zoey?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "You damn well know what it was for. You were fucking her in OUR bed you bastard."

"But you know I always came back to you. I love you, Zoe." I clenched my fists. "You best be leaving, Harley."

He rolled his eyes. "I dropped that name. I went back to Liam."

"What's your point?" I shook my head. "Nevermind, you need to leave!" I pointed toward the driveway where his Harley set. Nothing ever changes with him.

He moved closer to me, making me very uncomfortable. I scooted across the swing and got up backing away from him. "Y-Y-You just stay away from me, Liam."

"Oh come on, babe. You know you still love me." He smirked and leaned against the banister.

Liam's POV

"NO, that's where you're wrong, Liam. I want NOTHING to do with you." She always did put up a good fight. I love that about her. But I would have her in the end, I was determined. When I am determined, I get what I want. Always.

I laughed. "Of course, you do." I crossed my arms and watched how nervous she was around me.

"Get off my property, Liam. NOW!" She pointed toward her driveway again. I got to thinking and shrugged. "Fine, Zoey. But the sooner you realize you're meant to be with me the better off everyone will be, including your little boy toy, Jackson." I knew that would get her.

Her eyes got wide. "What do you mean? What'd you do?" I could hear the worry in her voice. "Nothing, yet."

I turned and walked off her porch with a smirk, knowing she would be thinking of what I might do to Jackson. I got on my Harley and rode off.

Zoey's POV

I slide down the banister to sit on the porch my legs no longer capable of holding me up. How had he found me? Hell, how had Jackson found me? Something wasn't right about this. I had to figure things out. I had to talk to Jackson and let him know Liam was back.

I got the strength to get up, pulling myself up by the banister and made my way inside to get my keys.

I slipped my shoes on and ran out to my car, driving over to Jackson's house. I practically jumped out of my car tripping over a stone on the sidewalk and tumbling to the ground with a thud. Jackson came bounding out of his house at the sound of the commotion. "Zoey, are you alright? Why in such a hurry?" Tears sprang to my eyes as I stood up and he took my hand helping me into his house. "No, I'm not ok." I sobbed.

He brushed my hair out of my face. "What's wrong? Anything I can do to help?" He sounded sincerely worried. Which made everything even worse.

"Not really, it's Liam. He found me and is refusing to give me up." I sighed, my tears still coming in a steady stream. He sat me down on the couch and pulled me into his arms. I wasn't sure what to tell him, all I knew was it felt good to be in his arms again. "Jackson?" I looked up at him.

His face was inches from mine. "What is it, Zoey?" I reached up and kissed him. It felt like I had a million little electric currents in my lips. "He told me he would hurt you if I didn't choose him. I'm worried." He put his hand on the side of my face. "Nobody is going to hurt me if you don't choose them, I promise." Slowly he leaned down and claimed my mouth with his, kissing me ever so gently.

Nookie's Visit

Jackson's POV

I had a great time horseback riding with Zoey. I knew she would like it.

When she invited me inside for dinner afterwards I was completely taken off guard. I stood there shocked for a moment before answering her. "If that's what you want."

She nodded. "I would like you to come in for dinner and a movie." she blushed. She was so freakin' adorable when she blushed. I reached my hand out and stroked her cheek, she laid her hand over top of mine smiling.

"Ok, who is cooking and what are they cooking?" I asked her.

"Um...not sure. I hadn't thought about it."

I dropped my hand and stepped inside, shutting the door. "How about we cook together like old times and make our favorite food?"

"Oh can we?" She asked overly excited. "Of course, sweetheart." I gathered her in my arms and carried her into the kitchen wanting to kiss her badly but trying to keep my promise to not do anything while we are being just friends. I placed her back on her feet still holding her in my arms.

Zoey's POV

I was breathless just from his touch when he placed me back on the floor. I was clueless as to where he had carried me to when I heard the doorbell ring, jerking me back to reality.

I sighed and bolted for the door. I flung it open to see none other than Nookie standing there. "No f'ing way!" I jumped into her arms wrapping my legs around her waist and kissing her right on the lips.

"What the fuck?" I heard Jackson exclaim behind me.

I pulled back and we both looked at Jackson, laughing. I slid down the length of her body before moving away from her. "It's so good to see you, Nookie." I linked my arm with hers and led her into the house.

Nookie's POV

My mouth dropped open when I realized it was the geeky Jackson from highschool. "Well if it isn't Jackson Kenyon."

He looked at me for a minute then his mouth dropped open. "Aw...Jackson. Don't you remember mine and Zoey's makeout sessions? You were always drooling afterwards." I teased him.

"It can't be...Nookie Burberry?" He asked. He looked like his jaw was going to drop to the ground at any moment.

I laughed. "Yeah, Jackson. The one and ONLY Nookie Burberry." I shook my head. Damn he's gotten hot over the past 6 years since I last saw him. I pushed that to the back of my mind since it looked like him and Zoey were together again.

I turned to her, "So I see he finally found you."

She smiled, almost glowing. "Yeah, he did." she never took her eyes off him when she said it. Oh, she is still so in love with that boy its disgusting. When she finally broke her gaze she asked, "Do you want to stay for dinner or did you have plans?"

"Nope, I'm extremely free." I winked at Jackson, unable to help myself. I could tell it was getting to Zoey how I was looking at him but damn. How could I not?

Zoey's POV

"Great. Do you mind cooking, Jackson? Nookie and I will catch up." She waited on his answer like her very existence depended on it.

"No, baby. I don't mind." He never looked at me after I winked at him.

"Sweet. Come on, Nookie." I pulled her into the livingroom. We both sat down on the couch. I put my legs across hers before we began talkinga bout different things.

"Where's Randy?" She gritted her teeth. I could tell. "His ass asked me to marry him so I bolted."

My mouth dropped and I sat up staring at her like she had lost her damn mind. "Are you mental? He was everything you ever wanted and you go and leave when he asked you to marry him. What happened? Why did you leave?"

"I don't know. I just did." She shrugged but I could tell it was bothering her. I dropped the subject for now but I would find out exactly why she left. I know she loves him. They were meant for each other.

The time flew by as we were talking and before we knew it we had already ate dinner and it was time for Nookie to head back to her place. We said our goodbye's and promised to talk to each other soon.

After Nookie left Jackson and I retired to the couch to watch a movie where I fell asleep in his arms.
