Hate Me, Love Me (Zak Bagans FanFic)

Dismantled

Aaliyahs POV

I woke up early in the morning cuddled up to Zaks warm body. I immediately froze for a moment before trying to quietly pull away from him. I got out of bed and went into his bathroom to wake myself up a little bit. I looked in the mirror to see my hair looking a bit greasy and decided I should take a shower downstairs. I stepped out of his bathroom and snuck out of the room. I rushed downstairs and immediately turned on my shower before grabbing some clothes to change into.

After getting dressed I stepped into my bedroom to see Zak laying on my bed playing on his phone.

"Jesus Christ at least let me know you're out here!" I said as I almost jumped out of my skin.

"Sorry. Why are you up so early?" He asked as he stood up and approached me.

"I guess today isn't gonna let me sleep in at all." I replied as I felt the burn in my eyes from only a few short hours of sleep.

"Why don't you nap for a little bit? You have practice today. You need to get some rest or you're gonna be grouchy!" He said as he opened my covers. I immediately caved and slipped into the bed as I felt my heavy eyes take over. Zak covered me with the blanket and in my half awake haze I grabbed his hand and didn't let go of it. He gently scooted himself into my bed and let me rest my head on his lap while I fell back asleep.

I woke up at 11:16 and saw Zak was still in the bed with me, curled up against my body. I smiled as I heard him quietly snore away. I grabbed my phone and checked it to see if I had any missed calls or texts. Nothing of course. I quietly got out of the bed and decided I should cook up some breakfast for Zak and I. I cooked up some eggs and toast and went to gently wake him up.

"Hey. I made us some breakfast." I said quietly as I gently tapped his arm. I watched as his eyes shot open and as the adjusted he gave me a bright smile.

"I'm sorry. Did I end up falling asleep on you?" He asked as he began to get out of bed.

"More like I fell asleep on you. Cmon and eat with me." I said in a low voice before stepping out of the room. Within a couple minutes he wandered over to the dining room table and sat down. He was still half awake and eating breakfast with me.

"Did you sleep at all last night?" I asked as I could see the whites of his eyes red and bloodshot.

"Yeah I just guess it wasn't enough apparently." He replied as he finished up his plate. I gave him a small smile before finishing mine and putting our plates in the sink.

"Why don't you get some rest today. You just wrapped up your show and I'm sure you need this time to recover instead of worrying about me and watching my practices." I said as I tried to make him go back to sleep in his own bed.

"No, I'm fine. I won't be going to your practice today though." He said as he sat on the couch.

"Thats fine. You won't miss much anyways. Today is drug test day." I replied as I grabbed the bag filled with the tests I had bought.

"Maybe I should go for a little bit. If you have to fire Jake I'm sticking around. Can it wait til tomorrow?" He asked.

"Why do you wanna be there if Jake fails?" I asked.

"In case he tries to be an asshole to you. He won't go near you." He replied. I laughed at his response and glanced up at him as I sat beside him on the couch.
