“You, too. Are you all going somewhere nice?” I asked.

“Cinema and then Nando’s,” Lisa told me with a roll of her eyes. “Anyway, we need to go otherwise we’ll miss the start of the film.”

“Yes, let’s get going.” Jim gave us a wide smile. “So, the boys are downstairs. Go towards the kitchen, and the door to the basement is just before it on the right.”

“Okay, thank you and enjoy the film,” I told them as we stood aside for them to pass.

“Wow,” Emma whispered as they got into the car. “Zak’s dad is hot.”

“Come on,” I groaned, “let’s get inside.”

As we made our way down the stairs to the basement it was obvious that it wasn’t going to be dank, dark, and smelly. The walls were painted white with framed gig posters, and there was a shiny steel banister. The smell of cinnamon and the sound of laughter floated up the stairs, and as I looked down I could see the floor was a rich dark wood. On it was a huge rug of every colour you could think of, and on a unit, the same wood as the floor, which took up the whole of one wall was a massive TV. It was not like any basement that I’d imagined.

“Hey,” I said as I reached the bottom stair.

Zak was sprawled on one end of a large corner sofa, a huge cushion behind his head, while Liam echoed his position atthe opposite end. As soon as he saw me, he sat and grinned, dropping his feet to the floor.

“Hello gorgeous.”

I felt the usual reaction of nerves, butterflies, excitement.

“Oh God,” Emma groaned behind me. “You two have it really bad.”

I nudged my elbow back into her stomach and flashed a smile at Zak. “Hiya.”

Zak got up and sauntered over, meeting me halfway. He dipped his head and kissed me softly, his hands going to my hips. I leaned into him, relishing in his taste and the feel of the cool steel of his rings on my skin as he slipped his hands inside my coat and under my t-shirt. I was about to open my mouth to allow him in when we were pushed from behind.

“Please,” Emma groaned. “Liam, why are you driving?”

I pulled away from Zak and looked over as she flopped down next to Liam, leaning into him. “There has to be something going on with them,” I muttered.

“Well seeing as he’s been talking about her for ages and wondering what time you’ll be here, I think you’re right.” Zak slipped his hands into the back pockets of my jeans. “No Ana or Liv?”

“No idea about Ana but Liv is going to be late. She’s gone shopping with her dad to get something for her mum’s birthday.”

He frowned. “Ana didn’t call or anything?”

“Nope. I’m worried about her. She never takes this long to snap out of it.”

“I’m sure she’ll be fine.” He dropped a kiss to my forehead. “We can call her later if she doesn’t turn up. Even stop by her house if you want.”

I shook my head. “No, let’s see how she is tomorrow.”

He looked down at the carrier bag in my hand. “Supplies?”

“Chocolate, popcorn and bottles of beer courtesy of a stash that my dad’s forgotten about.” I held up the bag and opened it out for him to look inside. “I found them in the cupboard under the stairs, but I’m sure he’d have said yes anyway.” I rolled my eyes. “Seeing as he obviously likes you.”

“I don’t know about that.” He leaned in closer. “Especially not if he knew what I wanted to do to you.”

My breath stalled and instinctively my hips jerked forward. He wasn’t fully hard but wasdefinitelyon his way to it. When I shifted my hips again, he groaned quietly and pushed himself up against me. He wasdefinitelyfully hard now.

“Maybe we shouldn’t tell him,” I replied, close to his ear.

His breath was ragged. “Perhaps you’re right.”

The air was electric as we stared at each other, both of us knowing that things were going to change even more than they already had. Our feelings for each other were about to take another shift. The ground beneath our feet was about to flip and we were about to become something more. I was ready to give him something that I’d never wanted to give to anyone before.

“Oi,” Liam yelled. “Are we watching this film or not?”
