**Kade, Friday**

I wake up to my phone ringing annoyingly next to me, and immediately know it's Zara because of the dumb ringtone she put on my phone. 

Every time she calls or texts me, WAP starts playing. 

Every. Fucking. Time. 

I pick up my phone and answer the call, putting the phone up to my ear. "Yes, Zara?' 

"Daaaang, Shorty. Morning voice got me bricked up!" She says happily into my ear. "What ya doing right now, Matty? You busy?" She questions. I grab my watch off my nightstand, seeing that it's currently 3 in the morning. 

"Why are you calling me, Zara?" I ask with a deep breath. "Why are you even awake?" 

"I'm so glad you asked, Kade." She chirps. "So I was hanging out, making some Hot Chocolate because It's cold outside and that's what you do when it's cold. So I was just gonna ask you if you could please come over and drink it with me because I feel very lonely right now and I want your company." 

"At three in the morning, Zara?" I ask, and her eyes widen. 

"Oh my god. I'm sorry, I completely spaced out the fact that it was so early, Kade. Go back to sleep, I'm so-" 

"I'm on my way." I cut her off, hanging up the phone then sitting up. 

If she wants me there then I'll fuckin go. 

I get out of bed and tiredly trudge to my bathroom, brushing my teeth and rinsing my face then applying some dumb moisturizer she made me get, and putting some water in my hair then just leaving it down. 

I pull a pair of sweats over my basketball shorts and a hoodie over my naked upper half, followed by a pair of random sneakers.

I get to Zara's house, stepping in once she unlocks the door for me and looking over at her. "Upstairs, I have everything set up for us." She beams, waiting for me to trade my shoes for my stupid slippers before taking my hand and leading me upstairs. 

We get to her room, where she has a tray with two mugs of Hot Chocolate sitting on her bed along with her computer, and a shit ton of blankets.

"Let's watch a Christmas movie." She says, getting into her bed. I sigh, following and getting under the excessive blankets next to her. She hands me the cookie monster cup that's drowning in whipped cream, and takes the Elmo one for herself. I watch as she goes to Disney+ and a bunch of Christmas movies already come up, and she decides on the first Home Alone. 

"Hey, Kade?" She asks, and I hum. "Can we cuddle? Pretty please with a cherry on top."

"Fine." I murmur. She moves around, setting her hot chocolate down on her desk and taking mine as well, before moving the computer and getting between my legs. I sit up against the wall while she rests on me, setting the computer next to us so we can both see before curling up and laying her face on my chest. "You're tired?" I ask as she gets comfortable. 

"Maybe a little bit." She mumbles. "I wanted to cuddle, though. So I made you come over." 

"Why didn't you just stay the night? You were at my place last night." 

"Because I can't just sleeping at your house." SHe respond tiredly, letting out a small yawn. "Shhh, let me sleep." She declares, and I roll my eyes but stay quiet nonetheless so she can sleep. 

**Zara** 

"You don't look very happy." Zayn comments as we walk to the BUs stop.
