The Ghostly Love Story

Getting to Know Each Other

I quickly followed behind him driving for what seemed like hours but was really only 20 minutes. He begins to pull into the driveway of a beautiful house and I begin to wonder where we are. I park right beside him in the driveway and he opens the door for me.

"Where are we? This isn't a hotel?" I ask confused.

"We are technically at my house. I have a guest room downstairs that never gets used and I would rather know my workers are safe then hanging out in a terribly neighborhood with the possibility of being hurt. If you are uncomfortable I can help you find a better hotel but for tonight you are stuck here. So lets grab the boxes and place them in the room and go do the phone stuff." He glanced at me with a smirk. I looked at him in absolute shock.

"Uhm.. yeah I guess its fine if you are okay with it. But if you try anything you should know im great with a pistol and a knife." I stared at him for a moments as he grabbed boxes and placed them at the door leaving me with the smallest two to grab. He began unlocking his front door and leading me through a living room and kitchen area to a door. He unlocked the door and placed the boxes in there. The room was simple. A bed and a couple dressers and a mirror. Nothing super fancy but pretty. He told me to wait while he finished grabbing more boxes and sliding them into the room. He grabbed fresh sheets and a comforter and towels. He opened the other door to the closet and another to my own personal bathroom with a super nice bathtub. It was so amazing and I was already dying to hop into the bathtub. The closet was huge and had plenty of space for all of my stuff.

"I know its not much and it might be kinda weird but I would just feel better if I knew you were safe and in good living conditions. It doesn't have to be forever either. You can come and go as you please as long as you are working for me it will always be yours." he said smiling at me gently. i put my stuff down and walked back out to the living room area following him. He asked if I was ready to go handle the phone stuff and I shook my head yes.

We both hopped into his car and put on our seatbelts. His car was really nice although I wasn't sure of what it was. He began to head into another area of the town. I looked at his radio screen to find the time and it said 6:47pm. I looked shocked as I had got to the diner at 3:15! We had really spent 3 hours around each other already? I snap out of it as I feel the vehicle slow down and begin to turn into a parking lot. He parks, unbuckles and walks over to my side of the car opening the door for me. I stand up quickly and walk toward the store. He opens the door for me and walks straight toward the man at the desk. He looks back at me and motions for me to come over and thats when it hit me... I FORGOT MY PHONE!

"What kind of phone do you want?" he asks quickly. I look at him taken back by what he said. Did he know I had forgotten it? "I figure you could use a new one instead of just changing the number. Are you more of an iPhone person?" he eagerly asked.

"It doesn't matter to me honestly. As long as it works then Im happy." I kinda just stood there twiddling my thumbs together nervous for what he says next.

"Can you get me the latest iPhone please. Largest storage space possible as well." he tells the cashier. The cashier hands him the phone and he takes out his wallet and card to go to pay. I try to stop him but he slides his card into the machine before i can even stop him. He grabs the case and we head back to the car. He opens the door for me and quickly walks to my car door unlocking the vehicle and opening that door for me as well. He walks over to his side of the car and slides in and hands me the phone.

"Look at it as a "Welcome to your new job" gift okay?" he smiles at me.

"I got the job?" I ask shocked and laughing.

"Yes. Now go ahead and get everything set up for your new phone. I am going to take you around town and show you some stuff so you can get somewhat familiar with it all. " he says as he begins to drive. I set everything up rather quickly as he shows me places to eat, a local Walmart, a shopping area, and other stores. We begin talking some more and cracking jokes as if we had known each other for a long time. It blew my mind how it seemed we had known each other for so long yet we had only just met. Sure we talked on the phone quite a few times over the past couple weeks but I couldn't help but to feel an instant connection with him. For some reason he really seemed to comfort me

Before we knew it it was almost 8pm. We had so much fun talking that we had t noticed it was getting kind of late. He begun to drive back to his place when he noticed me beginning to yawn quite often. I hadn't realized how exhausted I was from the drive out here and only getting 9 hours of sleep during that time. As he pulled into his driveway I grabbed my new phone and opened my door. He quickly walked over and helped me out. I followed him to the door and walked inside with him. I put my stuff down and thanked him for the phone. As I went to set it down he grabbed it to add his contact info and send himself a text. He noticed how tired I was and told me we should both get to bed to rest. I nodded my head in agreement and headed toward the room forgetting I even had the new phone. I was so exhausted I didn't even care. I closed the door quickly behind me as I searched the boxes for something to sleep in. I found some sweatpants and an old tshirt and quickly changed. I didn't bother to even take off my makeup. I quickly crawled into bed and went to sleep.

ZAK'S POV

I watched as she went to her room almost stumbling from the exhaustion. I set her phone down on the kitchen counter for her to find in the morning. I headed up the stairs to get ready for bed as my dog quickly came to my side and followed me upstairs. As I walked into my room I took my shoes off. I pulled off my shirt and jeans as well and went to go lay down. I sat there staring at my ceiling. I enjoyed meeting her. She was shy but kind. She seemed like she was excited about working for me. But something told me she had some secrets. My curiosity roamed through me as I had remembered something she said at dinner. She didn't finish her sentence when talking about why she came out here. All she said was something PARA... now wether it was paranormal or not I couldn't figure that out. But I didn't want to be rude and push into her personal life. I turned over and closed my eyes and quickly dozed off
