after estelle and her friend's arriving at the house, she couldn't manage to get to sleep so instead spent the time while zach had slept awkwardly sat there on her phone waiting for time to pass.
and as it got to a little after 7:30am, estelle received a call from her mother. she glanced over to the boy before accepting the call. "hey," she softly spoke while holding it up to her ear.
"hey essie, how are you?"
"i'm good."
"is everything going okay over there?"
"yeah?" she said slightly confused. "we're just- hanging out, waiting to be able to check into the hotel.."
"okay.. any plans for the day?"
"well i've got to do my lesson later, and then i think they want to go to a party tonight.." she admit, leaving the local boy out of it as she looked over at him after feeling him shuffle around.
"well stay safe tonight, okay? and stay together, and don't go taking anything you don't pour yourself, and especially don't go taking drugs.."
estelle quickly held her finger to her lips, singling to the boy to stay silence as he groaned and adjust his eyes to the brightness in the room.
"yes, mom, i know. i probably won't drink anything anyway."
"you've always been my smart girl," simone replied. "i hope you have fun this weekend essie, and keep me updated on you."
"mhm, i will."
"bye essie."
"bye mom," she replied, waiting just a short couple seconds before pulling her phone away and hanging up the call. "sorry for waking you.."
"it's okay," zach yawned. "what time is it?"
"um.. seven, forty-eight.."
"ugh," he groaned. "how are you so awake?"
"i don't know," she softly giggled.
"come cuddle with me," he lifting up the comforter slightly as his other arm went to the pillow under his head, sort of propping his head up while laying there.
watching her hesitate for a couple seconds, she placed her phone on the bedside table before laying down and slight shifting over closer to him — still leaving a small gap between them.
"what are you scared of," he chuckled, laying his arm over her waste and pulling her in a bit more.
"i- i don't know.."
"i bet you get all the guys hitting on you," he gently pushed a strand of hair behind her ear as he stared into her eyes. "you're stunning."
oh my..
"thank you.." her heart raced in response to his his soft tone and touch, and the closeness.
his fingers slowly ran through her hair, his hand planting on the back of her head, he lent in closer to her and connected their lips. pulling away after a single kiss to look at the way she responded to the action.
a smile across her face.
he simple quietly chuckled while leaning back in, locking their lips for a few more seconds before pulling back and laying his head down on the pillow again while softly staring into her eyes.
"there's just something about you.." he whispered.
"... i.. don't know what to say to that.." estelle awkwardly replied after a few seconds of silence.
"shhh," he hushed her with another kiss, keeping his arm wrapped around her waist. "let's sleep some more before we have to take your friends to their hotel."
"okay.." she agreed through a yawn.
