The two men had changed and were waiting for about ten minutes. Both were wearing khakis and short sleeved button down shirts, Tay in a black, and Zac in white. The tails of the shirts were riding low on both boys, if not hanging out.
Finally, Kim appeared in the doorway. She had on a short black skirt, a tight 3/4 white shirt, and a blouse with transparent sleeves over that. Her makeup was simple as was her hair.
Tay smiled widely. "You look gorgeous."
Kim blushed. "Thanks."
"Yeh, you look good, Kim," Zac spoke with anticipation of his date.
"Thanks," Kim smiled. "She's finishing up her hair."
Zac smiled lightly. Just as his eyes grazed the staircase, Jennifer walked down, wearing a simple black dress, which was actually long for her. In all reality, she didn't have to dress like a slut anymore. She already had all she could want. Her hair was in a scrunched bun, whisps of hair hanging down, and she had on her light purple color of makeup.
"Wow," Zac spoke.
Jenn smiled as she approached him. She kissed his lips lightly.
"Let's go."
With that, the night began.
They went to a nice restaurant talking right off the bat. Each spoke their mind. That was the best thing about them. They could say anything and the others wouldn't mind or would change what had to be changed.
What had happened the few years back had come up, things were said about it and all was finally done with.
All in all, the four had a great time, but agreed it was time to split.
After the good-byes, they were on their way.
Zachary and Jennifer took a walk to Central Park. It was all lit up for the night and was gorgeous.
"This is so pretty," Jenn spoke.
"You look really beautiful tonight," Zac's voice whispered lightly as they stopped on the side. Zac pulled her close and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"I don't know how this night could get anymore perfect."
"I do," Zac smiled. He took her hand and walked a little more until they came to a horse and carriage. "Care to ride with me on this breathtaking night, my lady?"
Jenn smiled. "But of course, kind sir."
Zac smiled and helped her up into the carriage, paying the driver to take them around. They got comfortable, Zachary's arm instinctively going around Jennifer.
"Hey, Jenn?"
"Yea?"
"We are a couple again, right?"
Jenn smiled wistfully. She nodded. "Definitely."
"Good. I've missed you so much, Baby. So much."
"Me too, Zac. More than you can ever imagine."
He gave her a tight embrace, kissing her hair gently. "I love you."
Jenn gave a light smile. "I love you, too."
Meanwhile...
Kim and Taylor had been walking slowly up the street to a dance club.
Kim smiled. "This is gonna be so cool!"
"Have you ever been here before?"
"No, have you?
Tay nodded. "Actually, yea. It's really awesome."
Kim smiled more. "I'm so psyched."
Tay kissed Kim's cheek. "Good."
The two walked into the club, Tay paying at the door.
Music was blaring from the speakers, some Ricky Martin song playing.
"Let's check our stuff and then get dancing," Tay grinned.
Kim nodded as he took her hand and walked over to check their coats in.
"Let's go dance," Kim smiled.
Tay nodded and walked into the crowd with Kim close behind.
"Mr. Lover" came on and the two began grinding.
Kim laughed at the look on Taylor's face. "You're so cute!" she yelled over the loud music.
Tay smiled and shook his head. "Not me, you!"
Kim smiled.
"Bye, bye, bye" came on and the two danced more, getting closer and closer.
Both were having a ton of fun, dancing and grinding and laughing and giggling.

After the carriage ride, Jennifer and Zachary passed by his grandmother's house to see if anyone was home. No one was, so they pulled in and decided on chilling out and watching a movie for a while. Well, that's what they said they were going to do.
"Do you want to just rent off of Pay Per View?" Zac asked.
"Whatever," Jenn smiled, her arms wrapped around his waist.
They sat down on the couch and Jenn kissed his lips lightly. He returned the gentle kisses, pulling her on his lap and moving the kisses down her neck and shoulder. He sucked on her neck lightly, but then began to suck harder.
Slowly, Jennifer began unbuttoning his shirt.
Zac pulled away, speaking lightly. "C'mon upstairs."
He let her off his lap and took her hand as they went upstairs. They went into the room he and Tay were sharing. He locked the door behind them, and sat down next to Jenn on his bed. Jennifer continued unbuttoning his shirt as he unbuttoned her dress.
Before long, both were unclothed and lying next to one another, taking things slow.
Zac moved above her, raising himself and entering her gently.
Both let off light moans and continued going further.
The sensation was so great. This was the first time in two years they had done this, that they had become one in this way. It was such a utopia for both of them.
He loved her with all his heart. She meant the world to him. He didn't realize exactly how much she meant until she was gone. And he didn't realize how much he was missing her until he got her back.
Her on the other hand, she knew she could never live without him in her life again. He was the missing piece. The last piece of the puzzle, the one that fit so perfectly. He was the perfect one.
Forty minutes later, they laid next to each other, wrapped in the covers, in each other's arms, breathless.
"I love you," Jennifer spoke.
"I love you too," Zac whispered.
Jennifer's eyelids fell gently, reflecting on what happened.
Slowly, Zachary heard Jennifer’s breathing even out and her body go limp in his arms. He looked down at her and kissed her slightly damp hair.
He never looked at it as having sex. It was always making love to him, and the same to Jennifer. Having sex sounded so wild and it wasn’t. It was a blessing. Just like she was to him. Zac had thought many times about the time that he and Jennifer had made love. And he realized that it was a sin, but he knew she was the one he’d be with for the rest of his life. The first time he met her, he knew.
“I love you,” he whispered into the darkness.
Jennifer gave a content sigh as Zac’s eyelids began falling.
He opened them again, got up, felt his way to his dresser and grabbed hold of a t-shirt. He picked her grey old navy pants and then dressed her in the items and then dressed himself in his boxers. He would have loved to have stayed the way they were, just being natural, but he knew there was too great a chance of them getting caught. He laid back down by Jennifer, closing his eyes and snuggling next to her under the covers. She stirred slightly, wrapping her arms around him and playing with his hair until she fell limp again. Before long, the two were sound asleep.
Taylor an Kim arrived home a few hours after Jennifer and Zachary. They pulled into the driveway, under the impression they were home alone.
Taylor unlocked the door and found a note on the table from Diana saying that she went out with Walker to a night club and that their grandmother was asleep in her room.
“You want to come up to my room?” Kim whispered.
Tay nodded. “Yea, I do.”
“C’mon.”
The two went upstairs to Kim’s and Jenn’s room. “They must still be out.”
Tay nodded as he turned on the television that was on the dresser.
He took his shoes off as Kim did the same and then sat down on the bed.
Kim spread her legs and sat down on his lap. He kissed her lips gently, soon frenching her. Slowly, Taylor lowered himself back on the bed. After a few minutes of passionate kisses, Kim began unbuttoning Taylor’s pants.
“Kim, are you sure you want to do this?”
Kimberly nodded. “Don’t you?” she asked, breathlessly.
Taylor nodded. “Of course I do. I just want to make sure you’re ready.”
Kim returned her lips to Taylor’s as she continued fidgeting with his pants. She pushed them down his legs and then began work on his shirt after he pulled her skirt down and taking her shirt off.
They came down to their underwear and were still going heavy.
Taylor’s hand trailed up to Kim’s bra and rested his hand on her breast, giving it a light squeeze. With his other hand, he unclipped the bra and began to peel it off of her.
She gave a light moan as her bra fell to the floor. Kim pulled her lips away from Taylor’s as she let her hand roam to his boxers. He blushed a little as her hand felt there.
“Let me help,” she whispered. Her fingertips fell over him, rubbing him gently.
Taylor let off a low moan. “Baby, I want you.”
Kim nodded as her hands fell off him and pushed down his boxers. His hands fell over her hips, pushing down her undies.
Slowly and gently, as to not hurt her, Taylor let himself enter her.
“I love you,” he whispered.
“I love you too,” Kim replied.

The rest of the weekend passed fairly quickly.
Monday at lunch, Jennifer wrapped her arms around Zachary from behind, hugging him gently. "Hey, Babes," he smiled, placing his hands over hers.
Jenn returned the smile and gave his nose a light peck. "Hey, do you think you can drive me home after school? My mom just called me on my cell, and she wanted me to take the night off because she needed to talk to me."
"Sure, Babes. What's going on? Is everything okay?"
"I hope so. Sorry about this because I woulda had my car, but Caitlyn was going to take me with her to work and you know how it goes."
"Jenn, it's okay. Believe me."
Jenn smiled sweetly. "I love you."
Zac's heart jumped at the words. It was so relieving to hear her speak those three words. She was his baby again. Finally. Well, so he thought.
"I love you, too, Baby."
Jenn smiled and gave Zac a kiss before going to wander tables again.
His eyes trailed after her, her scent still prominent in the air.
Jenn sat down next to Kim. "Hey."
"Hey, stranger. What's going on?" Kim asked.
"Nada. What's going?"
"Nothing. Are you going to work with me today?"
"Nah. Cait was going to take me, but Zac's taking me home because my mom wants to talk to me about something."
"Is everything okay?"
"Yea, I think so."
"Cool."
The two continued talking about different things before Jenn got up and left again.
After school, Zac took Jennifer home.
"I'll call you as soon as I go on break to make sure that everything's okay."
"Alright. Thanks, Baby."
"If you need me, before then, don't be afraid to call me." He pointed to his cell. "It's always on."
"I will. Love you."
"Love you too." He kissed Jennifer as she got out of the car and walked to the house. When she was safe inside, he pulled away.
Meanwhile, Taylor and Kimberly were driving to the mall.
"I love you, Tay. You know that right?"
Taylor nodded. "Of course. I love you too, Baby."
"I just want to make sure. Because the other night...That was so special to me."
"I know. It was for me too."
Kim smiled. "I'm glad." Suddenly, Kim got lightheaded. She rested her head in her hands, trying to lose the dizzy feeling.
"Are you okay?" Taylor asked.
"Yea. I just have a slight headache. I'll be alright."
Taylor pulled into the parking lot of the mall. The two got out and Taylor locked the car.
“Well, I’ll see you later,” Kim spoke.
“Okay. You have a ride home right?”
“Yea. Call me when you get home.”
“Will do.”
The two split and went to their jobs.
Meanwhile…
Jennifer sat in her living room, the television on, waiting for her mother to get home. She said she’d be home early to talk to her.
Jenn gave a sigh as she flipped the channel. Just as he eyelids fell, the door slammed shut. Jenn took in a deep breath and opened her eyes as her mother’s figure appeared in the doorway. Jenn’s eyes fell upon her mother’s tearstained face.
“Mom?”
Carolyn put her purse down and took a seat by her daughter.
“Jenn, my lawyer called me today and she told me that if you don’t go to live with your father for at least a month, he’s going to take me to court again…” Carol cried.
“Mom, don’t cry. I’ll go. It’s just a month. I don’t want to leave you alone though.”
“I’d ask someone to stay over night with me. Maybe Maria or Robyn.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. Jenn, I’m so sorry.”
“Mom, don’t be. It’s only a month.”
Carolyn gave a light smile. “That’s why I love you, Baby,” she hugged her daughter.
“I love you too, Mom. When do I have to leave?”
“He’d like to know in the next few days for next week.”
Jenn gave a light sigh, holding her tears in. “Okay…Well, I’m going to go upstairs.”
“Okay, Sweetie. I love you.”
“I love you too, Mom.” She kissed her mother.
Jennifer headed up the stairs, tears trickling down her cheeks. ‘What about Zac? A month away from him? I’m never going to be able to deal.’
She sighed as she closed and locked her door, laying down on her bed, trying to determine what to do. After hysterics came and went, she fell asleep from exhaustion.
An hour later, she awoke to her phone ringing. She picked it up, knowing who it was.
“Hello?” she spoke groggily.
“Hey, Baby. Are you okay?” Zac could hear the congestion in her voice.
“Not really. I have to live with my dad for a month so he won’t take my mom to court.”
“Are you serious?” Zac’s voice was shocked as his heart sunk. They just became a couple again and now she had to leave him?
“Yes.” Jennifer felt the tears coming once again. She swallowed hard, holding them in.
“Baby, I wish I could be there and hold you.”
“No, Baby. You’re probably not even on break. You’re going to get in trouble.”
“No, I’m coming home. This is an emergency. They’ll understand.”
“Zac, it’s okay.”
“No, it’s not. I love you, Baby. I’ll be home soon.”
Jennifer hung up the phone, tears already trickling. She knew she wouldn’t have any friends to rely on being there at her dad’s. And she couldn’t call Zac everyday. Hell, her father probably didn’t even know about Zachary.
Jenn laid her head upon her pillow staring at the ceiling. She shook her head gently in disbelief.
Before long, she heard the doorbell ring. Her mother answered it and not long after, she heard footsteps.
A knock came to Jennifer’s door.
“C’min.”
The door opened slowly. Zac’s image appeared in the doorway. The light weeps Jennifer had been crying were now sobs. “Zac, how are we going to do this?”
“Hey, shh,” Zac spoke as he took Jenn in his arms. “We’ll make it through. It’s only a month. Only a month, Baby.”
Jenn sniffed. “But what if you find a prettier girl? Or skinnier? Or both? What if this trip causes us to break up?”
“It won’t. I know it won’t.”
I can’t say why I love you
But I do, Yes I do
When I’m around you
Feels so good, feels so good
Everything that I can do
Every wish I make for you
In the end it all came true.
