"My fault?" I said, stepping a few steps back from her.

"Yes. You got in my head," She said while wiping away her tears.

"How?".

"When I asked to sleep here yesterday, you wanted to sleep on the couch."

"And that's how this is my fault? I was just trying to be nice. "

"But it is big enough for the both of us to fit and I said that I was not fat."

"Which I agreed with you."

"And then I woke up and you were sleeping in your chair with your pillow and I got insecure about it and thought that's why you left the bed."

"But I already told you I was working and didn't want to wake you up."

That's a lie. I couldn't go to sleep. I had such a massive boner and it made me so uncomfortable, so I took another shower in my parents' room and slept in the chair cause I didn't want to get another one.

"But why I do think you're lying?"

"I'm not. You didn't eat today because of what you said. "

"You got in my head. I got insecure about my thighs, " She said, looking at the floor.

"Don't tell anyone I said this, but you always look beautiful. I actually had work to do and just didn't want to wake you," I said, and she looked up at me like I was crazy.

"Aren't you supposed to hate me?".

"I still do. Don't get shit twisted. But it's no fun teasing you when you're sad. "

"Now, can we go eat something, and then I promise I'll stay in bed the whole night?".

"Fine, but you don't have to. I was just insecure. "

"I want to," I said in my head.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go eat," I said, taking her hand and leading her downstairs.

She ate the breakfast that I made for her because we didn't want the food to go to waste while I made her favorite food.

When I finished, we ate and then we went to bed.

She stayed on her side while I stayed on mine, and then I fell asleep after such a long day.

When I woke up, Zola was still sleeping.

She looked so peaceful sleeping. I didn't want to leave the bed before the whole situation that happened yesterday occurred again, so I stayed in bed and did work.

An hour later, Zo finally woke up.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty,".

"Ugh!" She said, groaning and covering her head with the comforter.

"Hey, when girls usually spend the night with me, they don't groan in the morning,".

"I don't care about your dating history," Zo said, still under the covers.

"They get all shy and worry about having morning breath, but we just have sex again, or if I like them, I make them breakfast before they leave."

"I don't care about what you do with other women you bring back to your house," Zo said, getting up from the bed.

"But you groaned at me, so that led to where we are. And you left the bed, so I'm not gonna eat today,". I said, making a joke about what happened yesterday

And then I was shown the Zo classic, which was her middle finger.

She took a shower and then came out in my hoodie and those shorts again.
