You Think You've Got It, Don'tcha?

The next morning I had woken up and stretched. Zack's arms were still wrapped tightly around me, and I poked his chest a few times before he abruptly woke up, looking around."Something wrong, kitten?" He asked sleepily. I pointed to his arms.

"I have to pee and your iron grip on my waist isn't allowing me to get up. Let me gooo." I groaned. He let go with a nod, and I quickly got up and raced to the bathroom, which was only a few steps away. I took care of my business, and came back out a few minutes later, crawling into bed with an already asleep, adorable, baby-faced Zack. He must have shaved when he took his shower.
He pulled me against him and planted small kisses around my hair, and rubbed my waist.

"Missed you." He mumbled.

"I was only gone a few minutes, Zee." I said, placing my hand over his.

"Seemed like forever." He replied. "I don't want you out of my sight. Only in my arms." He said. I nodded back against his chest.

"That's fine with me." I agreed. He chuckled.

"Really? I was joking."

"Joking about what? S'really nothing to joke about, considering your arms are the safest place for me at the moment." I said, managing one of my hands through our chests to poke his nose. His nose automatically scrunched up, and he kissed me again. It felt right, and I absolutely loved it.

And him.

After we parted away, I looked up at him. "I want to make this official. Us." He said, looking down at me. "I enjoy kissing you and holding you and.. stuff."

"…And watching me adjust my towel after I get out of the shower? You seem to enjoy that too." I snickered. his face lit up with embarrassment.

"That was only once." He murmured. "But yeah, I enjoy that, also. Just not as much as I enjoy kissing you. It's a lot better." He nodded, and squeezed my side. I sighed contentedly.

"You make me really happy and like.. you mean a lot to me, y'know?" I asked. "I'm being serious too. This whole living with you thing is really great, and I've gotten to know you so much. And then one day I'm gonna go and do something stupid and ruin it for us. Ruin being happy; and I don't want that... Because it seems like I've already lost Brian to Michelle, and Matt to whoever he's dating or whatnot." I said.

"Nothing's going to come between us, okay, Ry? Not as long as I can say anything about it. You mean a lot to me, too." Zack stated. I was glad that I meant something to him. Or that I even knew him in the first place. "I don't want to lose you, so if you do something stupid? Yeah, I mean.. I might get a little hurt but we can work through this. I will never let anyone come between us either, as long as you help me."

"You're such a sweetheart." I sighed, leaning up to kiss him again. He kissed back and ran his fingers through my hair.

"I try to be. And since we're being honest..." He said, pursing his lips, "I locked your bedroom door so you would resort to sleeping with me if you got tired of the couch."

Say what?

"You did?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah.." He mumbled. "I did. Because I'm too big of a baby to ask you to sleep with me."

''You are a big baby." I stated. He chuckled and kissed my nose, then swept a lock of hair between my ear.

"Only for certain people." he said. "If you don't mind, I'd like to punch you in the mouth, with my own mouth, because I love you." I giggled, and puckered my lips for him, making a kissy face before he pressed his to mine, kissing me again.

"You really don't have to tell me when you're going to do that." I said. He nodded.

"I like telling you though."

"Is there anything you don't like?" I asked. He paused a minute.

"I don't like how you're still in clothes and not naked." He confessed. I giggled and blushed, running my hands over my face.

"You're too cute." I said. "You're not getting that until later." He groaned.

"Oh come on. You're no fun." He complained, pulling me closer to him."

"I'm tons of fun. Now let's get up and go out or something. As much as I would love to lay here and listen to you complain about how I'm no fun and how I should take off my clothes, I would rather try to apply for colleges and stuff today. Is that okay?" I asked. Zack pouted, then eventually nodded.

"Yeah, let's go princess. Let me get dressed first, then I can take you out for breakfast." He said, uncovering us and sitting up.

"That's fine." I said. "I need to get dressed and stuff too. But breakfast sounds great right now. Where are you gonna take me?"

"Back to the Basix Cafe where we ate last night." He said, looking through his closet for a shirt. He seemed to have a separate part of the closet for his different types of shirts. His button-downs, band shirts, and regular t-shirts. He was organized, and I liked that.

"We're going back?" I asked. He nodded.

"Yeah. I've never really eaten there or anything, so I wanna see what they've got for breakfast and stuff." He said, pulling on a tank top and and a red, black, and white plaid button downs. He looked over at me and winked, flexing his arms. "Nice view?" He asked.

I shook my head and chuckled. "Stop being silly. I need to get into my room to get my clothes, Zee."

"Keys to your room are on my dresser." He said, shimmying into a pair of pants. I nodded and walked over, snagging the keys off of the dresser and walked out of his room and down the hall to my own room.

I found the right key and unlocked my door and walked in, tossing the keys onto my bed and rummaged through my suitcases for my pants and a decent shirt. That cafe looked kind of alternative, so I grabbed my Vans cut-off shirt and my shorts, a pair of ripped stockings, and a pair of Creepers that I had brought along with me. After I had gotten dressed, I pulled my hair back into a messy bun like always, and grabbed my bag.

"Ready?" Zack shouted out as I walked into the hallway. He walked over to me and wrapped my arm around his, then we walked downstairs and outside. He locked the door and pulled a pair of Ray Bans from the collar of his shirt then put them on.

"Lets go, gorgeous." He said.
