Chapter 6

I wake up to a slight rocking and when I open my eyes, I look around and realise I am in Zachary's embrace. He stayed. The love and joy I am overcome with makes my heart feel likes it is going to burst!

He smiles and places a kiss on my forehead and his smile is contagious as I find one playing on my lips too.

"Morning sexy," he coos in my ear.

"Hey ugly," I reply, burying my head in his chest.

Wait. What am I wearing again? Oh! The memories of last night come back to me and I remember that I am decently dressed. My cheeks flush as I recall falling asleep in his arms. A lyric of Ed Sheeran's song Afire Love comes to mind when when he wrote 'Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night' and I smile once more. I love Ed.

"How long ago did you wake? And how did you wake earlier than me if I fell asleep first?" I ask, even though he has no control over that. (Listen to 'No Control' by 1D lol)

"Like a half hour ago," he says.

"What time is it now?" I question.

He checks his watch, "9:47."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"I'm glad I woke up to you," he confesses.

"Me too. I love you so much Zachary, I don't even know the extremity I would go for you. The tragic truth is that, if you don't feel the same, my heart would fall apart. I'm truly, madly, deeply, foolishly, completely falling for you. Well no- I already fell, " I reveal and I hear his sharp intake of air.

"I feel the same. It's kinda scary sometimes, but then I remember it's you and I instantly feel better. I am truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you. And when the time comes, I'd love to go without a tan on my left hand, where my fourth finger meets my knuckle, " he responds, and I would freeze this moment and put it in a frame.

"I love our quoting of song lyrics. And the specific lyrics. I feel the same," I assure him.

"Maybe you're lovable."

"And maybe you're my snowflake."

"And maybe I'm just in love."

"When you wake me up," we finish in unison. I love us.

"Maybe I fell in love when you woke me up," I whisper and place a kiss on his lips.

This time we don't kiss for long, because he has morning breath, and I just want to thank God that I don't.

I laugh as I pull apart and tease him about it.

"Ew! Go brush your teeth!" I giggle at him.

He is playfully pulling me back in to taste his breath, "Come on baby, I know you want it. Come get some," he says as he puckers his lips.

I give in and let him pull me onto him but my lips are closed tightly and so are my eyes. He then peppers kisses all over my face while laughing, and I'm laughing too. He stops, jumps off the bed and in one quick motion is in my bathroom. I check my phone to see I have over two thousand messages from the WhatsApp group. Just the usual.

As I am reading through the messages, my phone starts ringing and I see that Brianna is calling me.

"Hello? Bri?" I ask into the phone.

"Anya? Could you send me a picture of the Russian Rev paper? I cant find mine," she whines into the phone and I laugh.

"Girl, wah do u man? Me soon come. I'm with Zach daddy," I tell her.
