Celebrity Crush

Chapter 21

Aven's POV:

Groaning as I wake up, smiling at the feeling of Ezekiel in my arms. Our legs tangled together under the blankets, my arms still around his waist and his head tucked into my chest.

Noticing the night sky outside and the clock that reads 3am, I make sure I don't move too much as to not wake Ezekiel. Gently drawing small circles on his back with my fingers.

He snuggles into me, letting out an adorable groan in the process. He pushes me slightly so I'm lying on my back and he snuggles into my side and throwing his arm across my chest and one of his legs over my thigh.

I wrap my arm around his back, pulling him in closer.

I slowly drift back into a peaceful sleep, a smile on my face at the still sleeping Ezekiel in my arms.

How did I get so lucky? i think to myself as i start to drift back to sleep.

I wake up again, Ezekiel still in my arms.

The smile on my face drops when I notice a slight issue. Part of me is more excited than the rest of me, and it would be very awkward if Ezekiel noticed.

The leg on my thigh not helping much either.

I try to think of a way to move out from under him without waking him, but since he's basically laying on top of me that will probably be very difficult.

But not impossible. I tell myself as I slowly move out from under him.

He groans slightly but cuddles into the pillow and his breathing evens back out.

I head straight to the shower, remembering to grab a towel before I go into the bathroom.

I push away any questions or thoughts about Ezekiel while I shower, it's completely normal for a guy to wake up like that. It just happens sometimes it has nothing to do with Ezekiel.

Wrapping the towel around my waist I head back into the bedroom to grab some clothes.

"Morning V." I freeze at the sound of Ezekiel's voice, my stealth mission ruined.

"Morning Z," I smile at him, his curls going in every direction somehow still look good on him.

I hold back a laugh when I catch him staring, completely forgetting I was in nothing but a towel.

"The shower is free whenever you're ready," I say startling him. I chuckle slightly at his surprise, he probably thought he was being subtle.

He mumbles a "yep" while he scrambles out of the bed, making me chuckle even more.

"Don't forget a towel," I yell out when my laughter has calmed down.

My laughter comes to a complete stop when he scurries out of the bathroom in nothing but his underwear to grab a towel. It's not my first time seeing him like that, but it still shocks me.

He has a very nice figure.

Not that I was checking him out or anything though.

*time skip*

The past few days on the trip haven't been all that exciting, Ezekiel and I have cuddled every night, even on the second night when we didn't fall asleep cuddling, me being too afraid that I would wake up with a similar problem and he would notice.

But when I woke up halfway through the night, a sleeping Ezekiel made his way over to my side of the bed and I, of course, welcomed him with open arms.
