Her Undeniable Temptation

Part 43



“Oh my Gosh, will you please stop making faces at that baby and help me before Dora probably shows up?” Bella said, annoyed. It was the third time she had said it and right now was the fourth. Bella’s parents had decided she had her birthday party at a fancy hotel, her dad apparently knows the owner, so they got a discount.

Zoe and Dora and a few other girls were invited to spend the night at the hotel. Ordering room service and getting a manicure, her birthday was a few more days but she asked Zoe to come early and set up a bunch of decorations in the room they had reserved. Balloons, and streamers! That kind of crap. They were hanging stuff up when a woman with a baby girl walked by.

Obviously, Zoe had to go see the little princess. Who can really resist a pup? “Sorry, Bella,” Zoe muttered before chuckling. She went back to what she was doing afterward.

“We should go swimming when we are done, the pool is awesome here,” Bella said. “They have a hot tub right?” Zoe asked. “Mm, hm.” She said, “Well you can go swimming, I could use a good soak,” Zoe said as she blew on the balloons in her hand! Zoe couldn’t tie them for some reason, so she just handed them over to Bella.

“A good soak, huh! Still having boys trouble?” Bella asked. “Uh yeah, just one boy! Luke.” Zoe replied quickly. “Duh, of course just Luke, who else would you be dealing with?” She said sarcastically. Zoe kept quiet and waited for her to continue. “Have you talked to him lately?” Bella asked.

“Not really, just a few texts and stuff but not a face-to-face conversation,” Zoe muttered before blowing on a balloon again.

Truthfully she has been wanting to talk to Luke ridiculously bad. She doesn’t even see the point of them staying on a break anymore, I mean Zoe still hasn’t figured out anything. Plus what is the point of not being with him, if she can’t think straight without him?

Zoe has literally had a dream about both Luke and Alex each night of the week and it sucked, who the hell does she like better? Hormones and love ruin everything, seriously.

“That’s too bad, are you planning on getting back together?” She asked. Zoe bit the bottom of her lips. “I just don’t know,” she g*****d, making Bella chuckle. “Yeah, boys! They wander into your heart and pretty screw everything.” She said, Zoe, nodded in agreement. They blew up and tied a bunch of balloons for a while.

“Hey, Zoe,” Bella called.

“yes?” Zoe answered.

“If I tell you something, will you not like! Uhm get mad?” She asked. Zoe took a deep breath, not liking where this was going already. “Sure thing, what is it?” Zoe asked.

“Well,” she started and hooked.

“I kind of overhead Luke the other day talking with his friends, and they said they were coming here to swim.” She explained.

“Okay, they said they are coming to swim today,” Bella explained and neither of them spoke for some moment.

“So, is that the reason you wanted to go swimming?” Zoe asked her and she just smiled sheepishly. “I mulled this over, I’m sorry Zoe! I just want you and Like to get back together so bad, you two are like my dream couple. The couple I look up to and want all my relationships to be like.” she finally said.

“Bella, we are not that perfect! Why would you look up to us anyway?” Zoe asked, confused? “You and Luke have been boyfriend and girlfriend for almost a whole year, that is super crazy for high school! And even though you guys haven’t done it he still loves you. I just don’t see why you can’t k**s and just make up already.” she said shaking her head, Zoe instantly felt uncomfortable having this conversation with her.

She doesn’t know about her being completely in love with Alex and Luke. They both had their sweet comfort zone and she couldn’t help it.

“It’s not that simple Bella,” Zoe said. “What is your biggest problem with each other?” she asked, making Zoe stare up at her. How desperate was she in her relationship? Zoe wanted to just tell her absolutely everything but of course, she can’t. She would hate her if she ever mentioned every damn thing to her.

“I needed space,” was Zoe’s smartest reply. “Why? Was he too clingy or something?” She asked further.

“No, not at all! I have just been having this mixed feeling lately.” Zoe said. She just hoped Bella was going to drop these talks. Wishful thinking. “We both just needed a break, that is it,” Zoe said.

“Alright, you guys have a problem, what good couple doesn’t.” She said, “Can we just drop this topic or rather stop talking about it?” Zoe begged.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Fine.” She said. Zoe did a few more balloons before taking a break. She was feeling light-headed anyway. Ha.

“I think we have enough balloons for now, what is your opinion on bubbles?” Dora, who had just arrived not long ago, asked. “Uhm why asking?” Zoe asked. “Well I was considering buying some of those colored ones to use as the party favors, good idea or not?” she asked Zoe and Bella. “sure if I get one,” Zoe said with a smile.

“Obviously, you guys would get one! I mean you guys are my best buddies, you can take 20 bottles if you like.” Dora muttered.

“Cool! I’m holding you to that.” Zoe said.

“I bought some bubbles on my way here,” Dora said going through her stuff, she finally brought out some bottles. They spent some hours messing with those bubbles. Making up games and taking turns, Zoe was willing to bet that the people in the room next to them were probably wondering what kind of crazy toddlers were in here laughing like crazy.

“Hey, do you want to probably go down to the pool, maybe just to look?” Dora asked them once the bottle we’re empty. “You mean, go down to see if Luke is here yet,” Zoe asked with sarcasm, Dora shrugged.

“Bella,” Dora called.

“Come on, we can swim and you can talk to Luke! Probably patch things up,” Bella said and pulled her out of the door as Dora followed behind.

They took the elevator down to the poolside, Zoe personally loves hotel pools! They are so warm and fun. She walked hesitantly around the shallow water and kept watch for Luke-crap! He was already there with his basketball buddies.

He was shirtless, wearing blue and red striped swimming trunks. And his hair was all wet and messy from the water, he looked hot as hell. Sigh.

“Zoe! Hey darling, what are you doing here?” he asked in total surprise. Without seeming to think about it, he pulled her against his chest and hugged her tightly. “Uhm Luke!” She murmured. “oh sh**t I’m sorry.” he said and quickly pulled away.

“It’s okay, not that wet,” Zoe said. That was a lie because you could see through Zoe’s shirt. He blushed and took a step back. “uhh, what were you doing here again?” he asked. “Right, I came with Bella to set up a room! Her birthday is coming up.” Zoe finally said, catching her breath.

“Oh yeah, I forgot about that! Should probably get her a gift or something,” he said. “You don’t have to.” Zoe shrugged.

They stood there awkwardly for a few moments. “Are you guys done setting everything up?” he asked. “Yep, all finished,” Zoe replied.

“Well then, why don’t you come swimming with me and the guys? Bella and Dora can too,” he suggested with a smile. “Okay, I would go get the girls! Can you guys wait for us?” Zoe said and he nodded. Zoe and her friends went upstairs to change into I

Their bathing suits.

They swam with the guys for a couple of hours, it was a lot of fun. Zoe and Luke together, they laughed and flirted. It was like nothing had changed between them! They managed to sneak themselves into the hot tub.

“Hey Zoe, today has been just amazing,” Luke said, smiling all adorable.

“Yeah, it has been great,” Zoe mumbled. She knew what was coming. Any minute Luke was going to ask to come back together, and honestly, she really wanted him to bring it up! She wants to be with him again.

“Zoe, I was wondering uh-” he stopped for a moment to move a little bit closer to her. Zoe hoped her face wasn’t too flushed from the hot water. “Yes?” She muttered staring keenly at his eyes.

“I was wondering if you have had enough space and stuff?” he asked, Zoe, bit her bottom lips. Luke’s eyes are so special. “I think so,” she said quietly, and he inched a bit closer.

“Really?” he asked, making her nod. “So, does that mean what I think it means?” He asked unsurely. “I don’t know, what do you think it means?” Zoe teased. “It sounds like we are back together,” he said, making Zoe smile, he leaned down and kissed her gently but fiercely enough to make her want more.

“So we are a couple?” he asked when he pulled away. “Yes Luke, we are a couple.” and just like that, they were back together. Zoe was so happy and yet felt absolutely heartbroken over what she was going to do with Alex.
