Chapter Twelve Leah and Zac were walking in each other's arms on the beach.  Leah stopped and sat down, taking Zac down with her. They were just laying on the sand.  Not talking, not thinking.  Just laying, in eachother's arms.
All of a sudden, she heard Zac's sweet voice start to sing a song by the Backstreet Boys....
'From the first day, that I saw your smilin'  face, honey I knew, that we would be, together forever.'  The he stopped and smiled down on her.
'You have the most beautiful voice in the whole world.' she told him.
'Zac?' Leah said.
'huh?' Zac asked.
'You know, when you asked me what my one wish in the whole world was last time when we were here?'
'Yep.' Zac replied, tightening his grip around her waist, and pulling her closer. She had her head on his chest now.  When he talked it tickeled her ear.
'Well, I...my wish..is to die in your arms.  Just like this.' She told him, lifting her head up off of his chest. and resting her chin there.
'Leah.'
'yea?'
'do you know why I love you?'
'why?' She asked softly.
'Because you are everything in the world to me.  You are perfect in every way. There's not one little flaw I can think of.  You are beautiful.' He ran his fingers through her brown hair. 'You are smart.' he kissed the top of her head.  'You are cute.' He nuzzled his nose against hers.  'You are so sweet and caring.' He finished as he kissed her lips.
'Yes, but, Zac?'
'yea?'
'I can't rollerblade!' She said laughing.
'Well, m'dear. That takes time, and besides, I think you've given up on that, haven't you?' He asked.
'No, well. For now, my butt is too sore!'  She told him giggling.
'Ah. I see.' He kissed her lips again.
'School starts tomorrow.' She said softly when they parted.  I can't be with you all day anymore.'
'I know... but I will think about you the whole day.  Wonder what you're doing, think about your beautiful face.' He smiled as her cheeks grew red.
'Gosh, I thought I was the only one who did that.' He laughed. Chapter Thirteen
