I wake up squinting at a bright room feeling an arm on my stomach and turn my head to see Zendaya lying next to me snoring.
I have a flashback to last night and realize I was straight butt naked nasty, flopping on the cold floor last time I was coherent.
Fearing I was still wearing my birthday suit, I lifted the duvet wearing a white crop top ripped manbeater on with a pair of sky blue Nike shorts thankfully.
Not wanting to wake her up, I lied there staring out the window, tearing up, feeling embarrassed that she, Law, and Darnell probably had to dress me themselves.
I felt Zendaya waking up so I dried my eyes.
"Good morning. How are you feeling?" She said as she sat up.
"Good morning..." I replied too embarrassed to carry a conversation.
"Hey..."she poked me.
"Hellooo.." again.
"Y/N" again—
"Yes? I said finally.
"Is this about last night? You're done with the worse part of it." She said turning me to face her. "No need to fear anymore. "I was glad that part was over honestly but I was still too embarrassed. To be real, I still felt naked. I couldn't even look her in the eyes. So I held my head down.
"Hey," she held my chin up but my eyes still avoided her. "You're probably thinking about who dressed you huh?" I focused on her.
She chuckled "Don't worry, they didn't see too much of you and we're girls so what's new about that?" She kinda tickled me to get me to smile.
I let a sigh of relief out and smiled.
"Oh shit." I said
"What?"
"Jade." I said hopping out of bed to find my phone.
"Jade?" She said. "Is that you're...girlfriend?"
"No. Just someone I grew up with."
"Oh."
I slip my hand in the cushions of the couch anxiously waiting for my phone to turn up.
"Looking for this?" She grabbed my phone from her nightstand.
I run to grab it.
"She called like a thousand times while you were sleep so I told her you were safe with me." She said
"You—told her I was with you?" I stopped and relaxed.
"Yea. She said to call her when you woke. You sure that's not- your...girlfriend or anything?" She chuckled.
"No she just cares a lot. We've also been through a lot together and I recently just got out of an..toxic relationship."
"Oh okay." She got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.I called Jade to check in with her and the group.
"Hey."
"UMM HELLOOOO FINALLY!!"
"Haha. Sorry."
"Sorry for what? For the fact that you ghosted us to hang out with Zendaya or the fact that you ghosted us to hang out with Zendaya?!"
"I'm sorry for everything it just happened and I got caught up."
"HII" Zendaya screams in the background. I assume she heard everything with how loud Jade was being.
"Oh my gosh is that her? Do you know how hard it was for me to keep my cool when she picked up the phone last night?"
"Haha yeah I know the feeling."
"Omg biiitch where is she! Where is she?!?" I could hear Mike approaching then snatching the phone from Jade. "HIII MY NAME IS MIKE I LOOOVE YOUR WORK!"
"Um this isn't,"
"move hoe it's my turn" he said to Jade holding the phone from her.
"Omg hi Zendaya I love you soo much—Hey would you wanna come to my birth-"
"IM NOT ZENDAYA ITS Y/N!"
"Oh...well put her on the phone bitch,"
"She can't come to the phone right no-'' Zendaya snatches the phone from my hand.
"Heeyyy guyyss how are you?"
I could hear Mike screaming through the phone while Zendaya holds the phone away laughing.
She hands the phone back to me.
"Could you put Jade back on the phone please?"
"Ugh fine" Mike said.
"Hey haha, he's soo silly"
"Yea haha, but look I'm gonna head over there. I'll see you guys soon okay?"
"Yea okay. We've got a lot to talk about missy. See ya later."
"Okay. Love you."
"Love you too! Bye!"I hang up the phone and turn around to see Zendaya staring at me. I pause.
"Thank you for..yunno..taking care of me last night. Please tell Law and Darnell I apologize for the trouble."
"You're fine it's okay."
"Well I have to go, it was really nice meeting you. Queen Zendaya." I bow jokingly.
"Why not hang today? I've got the day off." She asked
"Would you like to come with?" I smiled. "I'll make sure they don't jump all over you"
"Okay. Sounds cool." She says.Zendaya threw on her glasses, a hoodie, sweat pants, and sneakers.
I kept on the clothes I slept in because I felt comfortable in them and threw on my black and white Air Jordan 1's I came here with.We walk to Darnell and Laws room and ask if they want to come with us. They said they planned to go out to eat and will probably meet us later.
Her driver pulls up and we head to my hotel.
"So you're friend.."she asks
"Yea?"
"Does she uhh.."
"Does Jade know everything?"
She nods.
"No. I still need to figure out what to tell her." I said.
"Oh okay. Good." She sighed in relief. "Well, you couuld, tell her that you were taking pictures," I gaze at her in confusion. "Yunno..your photography business...Darnell told me."
"Oh. Right...but we hadn't taken any pictures. What if she asks to see them?"Zendaya grabs my phone from my pocket and scoots closer to me.
"Here. How about we take some now?" She holds the camera up to take a selfie of us.We take a bunch of selfies as the driver takes us to our destination. Goofies, fierce ones, silly faces. She took a couple of me, I puckered my lips, held my hips with one hand and covered half of my face with the other crossing my legs and posing. I took a couple of her, she stood through the sunroof with her arms out smiling as I stood with her taking multiple photos of her.
On the way Jade tells me to come to Madison Square Park. So we head there instead.
"Hey, I'm getting a little hungry we haven't eaten yet. What do you say we stop and get something to eat? On me?" I ask.
"Sounds great!" She smiles. "What do you have in mind?" She asks.
"This place called Franchia Vegan Cafe, it's says here it's not too far from Madison Square. We can eat then walk there. Sound good?""Awesome. How'd you know I was vegan?" She asks.
"Wellll it's all over the internet. I was a fan before I became a friend remember?" I said.
"Oh riiight. Wellll I'm glad we're friends now." She smiled.We hugged one another and I told the driver the directions to the cafe.
