Give love a try...

[Zac Mathews]

Zac Mathews sat on a hill of sand on the beach with his guitar. He had arranged to meet Izzy here. They had planned to have an bonfire with her Aunt's today and he had told Iz that he would bring his guitar along, so he had done. Zac was a little nervous about meeting Izzy's Aunts, but he was sure that he'd be okay once they got into conversation. Zac had found himself at the beach an awful lot since he had met Izzy. The place reminded him of her, and it relaxed Zac and made him happy.

Whilst waiting Zac sung and played a song to himself quietly. Music, Izzy and the beach, what could be better? Zac continued to sing and play to himself as he waited for Izzy to arrive. He had purposely gotten here early so he could play to himself for a little while.

Issy plan had work for the most part, the plan to get her aunt to meet with Zac was taking place this late afternoon. But they had a few conditions, and one of them revolved around how involved they should be in Issy's first relationship ever with a boy she may love already after a whole year of dating and seeing him slightly behind their back. When she first started dating Zac, she told them he was just a friend who was showing around New Zealand. With Issy attending Drumstrang, it all work out in her favor, though they finally figured out Zac was more than just a friend. A certain journal describe the details of their days spent together and Maleena happen to be the one who'd found it. Both being a bit laid back than most guardian, weren't happy about it but they w anted to deal and meet Zac if what was said is true in her journal.

Issy aunts went to buy woods for the fire and treats to cook over a flames so they won't go on starving. Issy went on ahead to look for Zac alone. She didn't have her surf board with her this time around, so she felt awkward being without it. No matter, she pursue her search for her cute boyfriend, it was over when she heard him strumming his guitar singing. He was so darn cute playing that thing! She walk up to him casually greeting Zac with a smile, ""Hey mind if I join you, lonely boy" she sat next to him, giving him a kiss. She could feel trillion of butterflies fluttering every time she kiss her cute boyfriend all the time.

 

[Zac Mathews]

Zac had become so involved with his guitar playing and singing that he hadn't noticed Izzy approaching until she spoke to him. He recognized the voice immediately and his hand dropped, strumming a fading chord on his guitar as Izzy kissed him. He kissed her back then smiled at her. "Of course you can.....any beautiful girl can join me.....but especially you." He joked before he laughed quietly. "It's good to see you again darlin'..." He told her sweetly before placing his hand on the side of her neck and kissing her once more. "I've missed you..." He trailed off before he started playing a few quiet guitar solo's on his beloved instrument...his guitar.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUXOha--2Zk&feature=related This is sooo becoming Izzy and Zac's song. It's perfect. I might just have to pretend that Zac wrote it for Izzy...

 

[Isidora Kozlova]

Issy scowled him back playfully. "I hope I'm the only one that capture your eyes Zac" she tease him. Issy never been jealous in her life about anything, except for her cousin who was attending the nest school ever. Otherwise, she wasn't the jealous type. Zac could look at anyone if he wanted, but she knew deep inside she would feel a tinge of jealousy. Zac was her first romance relationship, maybe her first and last by the way she felt so comfortable around him. Already a year of dating him, she didn't feel as though she be going anywhere soon. "Good to zee you Zac" she slip the Russian accent. She blush whenever that slipt past her, with two aunts who spoke mostly in Russian it was bound to happen to her.

"You sounded great, why did you stop playing?" she lean into him, hearing his small whisper. "Did you wrote that yourself or you learn it on your own?" she ask him, the music he played were always soft or seem soft by the way he played. She kinda figure he was shy singing too, she was still working on that after a year of being with Zac.

Aww cute

 

[Zac Mathews]

Zac laughed at Izzy's response. "I'm sorry, I meant to say.....no-one else captures my attention quite like you do....." He told her sweetly before he listened to her speak some more. The sound of her voice always made Zac happy. "I can carry on playing if you want.....and I didn't write that last one.....but I did write one song....." Zac paused for a moment. "It's a love song....." He said with a shy smile before looking down to find the first chord. He looked around to see if anyone was watching, everyone seemed to be up to their own business so Zac began to play and sing the song.

Zac's voice was still quite young sounding, after all, he was only 14. His voice hadn't long broken and he was around a tenor's range now. He loved the fact that he felt so comfortable singing around Izzy. The song came to an end and Zac played the last chord. "So.....do you like it?" He asked nervously as he put the guitar gently onto the sand, it was like his life and soul that thing.

 

[Isidora Kozlova]

Issy sat and listen after agreeing she would gear it. The song sounded out slow but than it grew louder than what she was use to hearing coming out of Zac. She started to even dance a little, surprised he grew more than enough confident to sing that way. She was more astonished he wrote that, she knew he had talent but never like this. She was so proud of Zac, he had grown a lot over the course of a year.
"I love it!" Issy kiss Zac, planting a good one right on his lips. "You will like, I don't know how to explain it, but you will make my aunts shock when they hear you play that." she said touching his guitar lightly with a finger. "I bet it took you like forever to write that?" she said intrude like a fan of his, instead of his girlfriend. She was both, he just didn't see it that way. He was to shy to see Issy as a fan.

 

[Zac Mathews]

Zac was glad that Izzy had liked his song. He had spent ages on it and now Izzy liked it, he was really proud of himself. It felt strange for Zac, feeling proud of himself wasn't something he had done very often, but after a year with Izzy, new features of him were really beginning to shine through, and he had Izzy to thank for that. Maybe self-pride was just one of those things.....and there were many more to come. She really did have a good-influence on him, which was why Zac loved her so much. "Thanks....." He told her as he watched her touch his guitar. "And do your Aunt's really want to hear my song?" He asked, there he was downing himself again. "It didn't take that long.....I mean.....I always play around on my guitar.....but I want this song to be for you....." He told her sweetly before he returned the kiss that she had planted on him earlier. "Because you are just as.....if not more important than my guitar and my music....." He said as he rested his hand on the side of her neck and kissed her again, this time, holding it for longer than ever before. He began to relax into the kiss and his eyes closed as he held his lips comfortably against hers. A year ago, he would never have had the courage to kiss a girl in such a public place, but Izzy had changed that. He didn't care who was watching now, as long as he was with Izzy, he was happy.

 

[Isidora Kozlova]

"Of course they want to hear you Zac, they also want to get to know you more too" she smile at the mention of Zac writing that song just for her."That's the bestest present anyones given me Zac, I will always remember this day" she blush, Zac kissing her send the blush to crease across her face, like if she were breaking out in hives but it was nothing more than hot flashes and the kiss that made her skin react this way. "And.. if it goes well today, I want to meet your cousin Adele? I think I should know her already by now" she lean into him more, his arm wrap around her neck cause Isidora to move in closer to Zac. She had a hand up, touching the side of Zac's soft face, Issy love knowing he was her boyfriend and that she can kiss him anytime.
"I'm going to guess right now she been wondering about me?"
she ask curiously into Zac's eyes. She wonder if he mention her throughout the course of the year they've been going out,
and if Adele's family was willing to meet her soon. she like the idea of meeting someone from Zac's side, since his real parents weren't available for her too meet.

 

[Zac Mathews]

Zac smiled as Izzy told him that her Aunt's wanted to meet him and hear him sing. He was looking forward to meeting them too, if not a little nervous. "Well I can't wait to meet them.....and I'm glad you like your song....." He told her sweetly before listening to what she had to say next. Zac loved the sound of her voice, it relaxed him, and warmed his heart like no other voice could. "I haven't seen Adele in a while, but she certainly knows about you, and I'm sure she'd love to meet you....." Zac wanted Izzy to know what had practically become his immediate family since he had moved to New-Zealand. He was sad that she would never meet Tyson, but he would tell her about him at a later date. For now he was happy for her to meet Adele, and Riley and Lowan if she was lucky to. He had made a great friendship with Riley when he had met him last time and he was happy that his closest-cousin was happily married, and Lowan was the cutest toddler he'd ever seen.

Zac picked up his guitar and out the strap around him as he stood up. "So are we gonna meet your Aunt's then or what?" He asked her with a mischievous look on his face before he scruffed Izzy's hair-up then ran off towards the sea, full of laughter. He loved being so cheeky around her, it kept their relationship fun and interesting, and he knew that Izzy was always up for a laugh.

 

[Isidora Kozlova]

Issy grin, the song was more important now that he wrote it to her. She never had someone made her feel like she was the world, despite the whole veela blood, no one ever made her feel this great."Thanks Zac your the best" she climb on him, hugging him ever so tightly with all the will power she could muster, was nothing compare to his. "And meeting Adele will meet a lot to me too!" she said getting down from hugging him. She wanted to show how much she cared about him, and that all was good in their own little world that was important to him. Surly Adele was important to him in some way, or else why did he come here in the first place? And to live at her old house, had to be some connection between them too.

Issy followed Zac, standing up with him. Opening her mouth to snawered him she felt the wind go past her and Zac's hand scuffing it up at her face. She saw him flee from her grasp. Issy shaking her head at her devious boyfriend. Running after him, she could see how he change a lot in that area but it always been like that between them. "Zac you'll be getting caught!" she laughed running after the boy, she felt the sand pick up right underneath her feet, her sandal had slip away but it was her aunt who took notice of them first.
"Isidora!" she heard Maleena voice call after her, "Issy!" said Askeena walking towards the girl, she had to stop chasing Zac, it was time now for them to meet him. School had stop the meeting from happen many times before, but now was no good excuse to delay this meeting. Both her aunts wanted to meet Zac officially if they wanted to allow them to continue dating.

 

[Zac Mathews]

Zac laughed as Izzy chased after him. He loved playing around with her, it kept the pair of them smiling. As Zac reached the sea he heard an unfamiliar voice calling Izzy by her full name, and guessed that her Aunt's must have arrived. Zac turned on his feet then ran back towards Izzy. He was excited to meet Izzy's Aunt's, by what Zac had heard from Izzy, they seemed great.....maybe a little strict with her.....but it was all in good-heart, and Zac knew that.

Zac took Izzy's hand. He wasn't going to be afraid around Izzy's Aunt's, he was just going to be himself, if he didn't it would soon come out in the wash, so there was no point in being a fake. Zac noticed the two Ladies who had been calling Izzy. "They look lovely." He said quietly into Izzy's ear. Zac then looked up at the two Ladies who he was yet to learn the names of. He smiled sweetly at them as he waited to be introduced to Izzy's family.

 

[Isidora Kozlova]

Maleena, the blonde and Isidora real aunt came up smiling and hugging her niece with Zac' still holding her hand. "Aunty this Zac, he's the boy I've been dating for quite sometimes" she spoke in Russian, the first time ever she did in front of Zac. "Zac this is my aunt Maleena and that's her wife" she pointed at the other woman approaching them now, with a bag of food and drinks, Maleena held the blanket for them to sit. Asenka, this is Zac, my boyfriend" Issy pull him forward so she could take a better look at him.

Maleena was the first to accept Zac so easily, she even hug him like if she knew him for a while. In some ways she did, with her niece always talking about him and never time to meet it finally happen. "Nice to meet you Zac! I've heard so much about you from my dear niece" she fluently spoke in English, her English always sounded like she could've been born in French. It was a shock to most who thought she was French but she wasn't really. She just sounded like it, now it was Asenka turn.

She look at Zac from the side, and eye balled him up and down. She stayed clueless to everyone else who was watching her watching him. "Nice to meet you Zac" Asenka pipe up, after such a long awkward pause. "You are lucky your a cute one" she offered a smile, raising her hand to pinch his cheeks. "Now were do we sit? It's not sun down yet but we can enjoy the water now! she pulled Maleena towards her leaving the young couple alone for a bit.

Phew. Isidora sighed, she look over at Zac, now she wanted to know how he felt about them."So what you think? I told you they love you off the bat! I mean sorry she pinch your cheeks but that's always a sign when they like someone" she squeeze his hand, somewhat smiling now. Her heart wasn't trailing away, she no longer felt nervous. Just a little but not by a lot.

 

[Zac Mathews]

Zac couldn't stop smiling as Izzy introduced her Aunty's to him. They seemed lovely, and Zac couldn't wait to get to know them better. He was a little embarrassed when Asenka pinched his cheeks, but that was older-people for you, so Zac figured that he would soon get used to those sort of actions. As the ladies began to walk off, Zac talked. "It's lovely to meet you Ladies." He called after them politely.

Zac turned to Izzy as he felt her hand squeeze his. He turned to her and smiled widely as she spoke. As if his smile could get any wider. "Izzy I Love Them!!!" He told her excitedly as his spare-hand joined with hers. "And don't you worry about the cheek-pinching, they were just being kind." Zac leaned down a little and kissed Izzy on the lips. "I Love You.....I can see where you get your good-looks from now....." He told her cheekily, barely finishing the sentence before he burst out into fits of laughter and ran-off to where Izzy's Aunt's had chosen to sit, his guitar still strapped around him.

As he reached Izzy's Aunt's, Zac skidded on the sand and fell onto straight onto his bottom. Still laughing, Zac looked back to where Izzy was. He watched her and shot her a loving smile as the giggles calmed slightly. He then turned back to Izzy's Aunt's before he began to play around with his guitar. He didn't play anything in-particular, just a few chord-patterns that he had learnt over the years.

 

[Isidora Kozlova]

Issy burst into a sheer of laughter, he was such an adorkable, no one will resist the boys charm. He would make angels sing just for him and the heaven will open up shining their bright aura as they sang. Sang a song about Zac, and how bright he was and all. To bright, maybe. She look at him once over, before his silhouette disappeared. He kick back dirt with his feet and went racing towards the two woman now sitting on the sand. Issy watch him, the moment he put his guitar on and he started to play a few innocent chords. His aunts were in tune to his playing like she had been the first time she met Zac, in tune and now they were enjoying the same music she had enjoyed herself just a year ago.

She move walking along the sand, where the wet part meant the dried. She forgot her surfboard, she should have brought with her while Zac played his guitar. Surfing was her passion, something she can never detach herself from, when she was at a beach without her board was like weird to Issy. It was like wearing a top without pants, that was Issy. She felt naked without her board, same like Zac was without his guitar. Both loves without their others, Zac was here. He should be all that matter now, she smile, yeah he should br. He made her happy just like surfing, he brought her heart racing her up almost the same. The difference, she can love Zac and he can lover her back. Issy raced on ahead, her feet kicking up as she ran. She reached her aunts and Zac, taking her rightful place at Zac side. He was brilliant so brilliant at music.Play these chords Zac, I want to sing to you" she requested. She never sang before, he will be thrill to hear her sing so was her aunt. She smirk, "What I learn it" she said waiting for him to play so she could sing.

 

[Zac Mathews]

Zac smiled widely as Izzy joined him and her Aunts. "Hey slow-coach." He teased as he stopped playing his guitar for a second to put his arm around Izzy for a quick hug. He then kissed her cheek before turning back to his guitar. He really liked Izzy's Aunts, they seemed really nice, and he was happy that they seemed to appreciate his love of his guitar and his general love of music. As Izzy requested a song that Zac played, Zac was shocked that Izzy was going to sing to him. But it was a good-shock, he had never heard Izzy sing before and he hoped she was good. Infact, he was sure that she was, she was too perfect to Zac for her not to be any good at singing.

"Okay." He told her as he was told the chords that he needed to play for the song that Izzy was about to sing. Zac took Izzy's hand then kissed the back of it. He caught her eye then winked at her before mouthing the words "I Love You" but not making any sound as he mouthed them. Zac then put Izzy's hand down and prepared his guitar for playing. "Alright.....you ready?" He asked before he began to play the introduction of the song, he liked the sound of it.

 

[Isidora Kozlova]

Issy smile, she could count on Zac for support. He was her rock all the time, she never have to feel like she was afraid to accomplish anything in this world. If it were simple as ice skating or just singing a few chores to a song, he was there. Whispering back those three words, she clear her throat afterwards and sang Only Hope by the muggel singer who sung and Isidora sister Anya happen to give her the song but charm as a necklace. So whenever she wanted to hear the song, she twister her necklace and it played out loud much like a muggel music player. But not quite. It played that song alone and ever since she had the necklace she knew the entire song by heart.

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again


She sang the first part than the second and finish the entire song. Her voice was tenor, or somewhere in between that she couldn't tell. It was her first time singing with Zac playing the chords. She did the best she could with that song. Than she remembered most veela were musically in-tune to music and that her voice didn't sound bad at all. When the song was over, both her aunts clap their hands to Zac and Issy. "Это было замечательно!" Maleena expressed! Issy chuckle, she hug her hand aunt and thank her back in Russia. "I am so stupid, how can I not know about the whole veela connection! I seriously need to read more about what I am" she expressed rolling her eyes, a bit mad that she never knew about this side of her.

 

[Zac Mathews]

An extremely wide smile spread across Zac's face as Izzy began to sing. She had a beautiful voice. Zac had to stop himself from getting distracted as he concentrated on learning the chords to this song and the strumming pattern that it needed in order to sound its best. As Izzy sang the last chorus, Zac quietly sang some lower harmonies underneath Izzy. He had always been good with that of thing.

When Izzy had finished singing, Zac put his guitar down on the sand before leaning over to her and placing his hand on the side of her neck. "You're perfect you are." He told her lovingly, before softly placing the sweetest kiss onto Izzy's lips. He didn't care if her Aunt's were watching, they needed to know that Zac cared for Izzy and loved her with all of his heart, and this kind of encouragement and affection was the best way of showing that.

In Zac's eyes, if you couldn't be yourself, then who could you be? He didn't want to act differently around Izzy for the sake of her Aunt's being there. He was quite confident in knowing that he loved Izzy enough to get her Aunt's approval.

 

[Isidora Kozlova]

"Thanks"Issy smiled, she kiss him back. Drowning him with the same affection he felt for her, she always tried to give him more than she could show. She always felt it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough because she could never put herself to show that much love to Zac. They were to young, to young in her eyes to seem much more than that. SHe pray they were on the same level too. "It was nothing really, and it's a one time gig. I don't plan on singing like that any time soon" she glide her fingers between Zac's hair. With her aunts occupied in their own conversation, she stayed for a little while playing with Zac's hair. "How you like the day so far Zac? It's not boring?" she asked him curiously.

 

[Zac Mathews]

Zac smiled through the kiss and felt comfortable with the feel of Izzy's lips against his, they were so soft and warm, that Zac could barely resist touching them with his own lips. As the kiss finished, Zac noticed that Izzy's Two Aunt's seemed to have left the happily-in-love couple to it, and they were now gladly chatting away to one-another as Zac and Izzy began acting like two smitten-love-birds. Zac liked the feel of Izzy's hand going through his hair, it was some-what relaxing, and Zac returned the kind-gesture by taking the end strands of Izzy's hair and twirling it up-amongst his fingers.

"Nothing? It was hardly nothing Iz." He told her, trying to encourage his incredibly-talented girlfriend. "It was amazing." He said before giving her a light peck on the cheek as he listened to her next-question. "Of course it's not boring, today has been just perfect." He answered to Izzy sweetly, but also truthfully. Today had indeed been perfect for Zac, life couldn't get any better for Zac when he was with Izzy. Zac cuddled in closer to Izzy as he sat next to her, slowly wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her onto his lap as he out-stretched his legs. He sat her side-ways so that they could still see each-other. "That's better." He whispered into her ear, holding the loose strands of hair away from her face as he held her closely.

Zac's fingers curled around the far side of Izzy's chin and brought her to face him for a moment. Zac kissed Izzy again, like he couldn't get enough of her, or her lips for that matter. He held the kiss for a long-time, and his eyes-shut as the kiss grew to a more passionate level than what was usual for the couple.

 

[Isidora Kozlova]

"I know but your the singer and I'm the surfer. if you don't mind I like to keep it that way" she poke his nose with her finger, laughing. He was to darn cute on many level. "Besides my singing suppose to seduce the male species, I haven't told you but my family part veela." she said it like she was holding her breath and the moment she said she let out that breath as if it were a big secret or not. All of those who came in contact with Issy knew right away what they were and why their looks call to them strongly. She look at Zac more carefully, he loves me, I know he does...

Issy was picked up and pulled onto Zac's lap, Issy blushed deep red. She could see her aunt turn their attention back to Issy, they both were still talking, yet their reaction made Issy freeze in place. She stayed watching them, her throat drying. "Whooa Zac, my aunts are still there" she said it. She wanted to slip out of his lap and pretend that never happen. However she stayed. Dope, because he kiss her like if he was kissing her wife. Young love make you feel that way.

"Hey can I ask you something, like it's about us." she said looking in directly in his eyes. "Do you really care about me, mean us? Like that much? Because I want to make sure how real this is, your the first real boyfriend I've had. The ones from the past I wouldn't say they were anything serious but they always tell me that it was my looks that made them like me." she said in a distant voice. He would have to figure out the rest of what she was saying by that.

 

[Zac Mathews]

Zac smiled as Izzy told him that she was a part-veela. He gently stroked her cheek as he replied. "That doesn't surprise me, because you're beautiful.....but thanks for telling me, I'd never have known because you'd be too beautiful whether you have those veela parts or not." He told her sweetly as he looked deeply into Izzy's eyes.

Zac watched Izzy's Aunt's look at the pair of them and freeze their conversation as they spotted Izzy sat on Zac's lap. But Zac didn't care, they were going out and that's what couples did. If her Aunt's didn't like it, then they were sure going to have to get used to it pretty soon. "I know they are Iz. Don't worry about them seeing us together, you're my girlfriend remember." He told Izzy with a small and quiet chuckle as he found her little panic about her Aunt's' presence quite amusing.

Zac wondered why Izzy was questioning what he thought of her? What had he done to make her think that. This was the last thing he wanted, for Izzy not to trust-him. Zac held Izzy closely as he began his reply. "Izzy don't be so silly, of course I care about you. I love you more than anyone in the whole wide-world. And it wasn't just your looks, of course it wasn't. I didn't just fall in love with your looks, I fell in love with you. Izzy, the one I couldn't get enough of back at the train-station. Remember?" He finished with a small-smile. "Now come here ya silly-billy." He said with a small-laugh before pulling her into a hug.

 

[Isidora Kozlova]

"Still" she slide down his lap and gave her aunt the no worry look. They look back and turn their gaze back to the ocean. She felt comfortable right at his sides to be truthful, she not a lap girl person. Other girls where like that, Issy notice when she see them with their boyfriend. She look at it slutty, to much skin and the positioning, basically your doing it outside. Gross she knows, didn't stop her from seeing what she saw a few summers ago, now that nude beach was disturbing. Never again.

"Thanks make it all worth while hearing that" she mess with his hair too. "I love you Zac, but sometimes I fee like you know fast and than I do like the feeling of it and all." she twirl his short curly hair. "I just want to enjoy in the best freest way possible, with you" she smile. "Do you want to get some Italian ice, they sell it over here" she rose at her feet and pulled his arm. All this serious talk made her stomach flip, she wanted to stop talking bout it and just enjoy her day with him.

 

[Zac Mathews]

Zac smiled as he listened to Izzy ramble-on. "You're mad you are. Do you know that?" He asked cheekily as she continued to talk about their relationship. He said nothing-else until she changed the subject to food. That always caught Zac's attention. "Italian-Ice eh? Sounds good-enough to me Iz." He said happily as he picked-Izzy-up into his arms as he stood-up himself. "Where do you want to go my darling Izzy?" He asked with a childish-giggle before he began to walk-across the warm-sand, trusting Izzy's Aunts with his guitar, that was always a good-sign, when Zac trusted someone with his guitar.

Sorry for the delay.
