It's past eleven o'clock when I wake up, Ashton's arms still wrapped tightly around me, reminding me what happened this early morning at two wasn't a dream, it was reality.
I rub my eyes to get the sleep out of me, and release a yawn. This past week was a disaster.
"Morning sleepyhead." I grumble, nudging his shoulder.
Ashton blinks his eyes open, and yawns, before sitting up. "Zara, what am I doing in your bed at eleven o'clock on this fine day?"
"You don't remember?"
Ashton laughs, rolling out of bed, throwing his shirt on. "I do, I was just saying. Since it looks weird and all."
"Fortunately we're the only ones who can see."
I decide I could keep my pants and just change my shirt.
"We have to go bowling today."
"I'm tired of doing something every day. What if I want to sit back and relax?" I groan, pouting.
"We have to follow the rules."
There it is again, but this time, I don't say anything about it.

I tie up my bowling shoes, humming quietly.
"Can you bowl as well?"
"Actually, yes."
Ashton gasps. "Are you serious?"
I laugh. "No, I'm not, I can, but not very well. It always goes in the gutter."
"I was about to say you were a goddess if you could."
I frown. "Are you saying I'm not then?"
He rolls his eyes, grabbing a ball. "Of course you are."
I flip my hair teasingly. "I knew it." I grab my own ball, and Ashton inserts our names into the screen above us. "Can you bowl?"
"Surprisingly yes, I can. My mum and I would bowl all the time."
"I'm impressed." I beam.
He gives me a smile. "Yeah? I can bowl first, if you want?"
"Go ahead." I say, relieved.
"Oh! Zara, I forgot something in the car, in the trunk."
"I can come with you."
"No, no, I'm good. I'll just be a quick moment, yeah?" Ashton struggles to take off the bowling shoes and awkwardly slips on his converse, waddling outside.
I sit down on the bench, since I can't bowl first.
"Zara!" Someone calls out my name, and I know immediately who it is.
I turn my head around, and Calum is there, with a girl I recognized somewhere from school. I couldn't quite remember her name.
"Calum, hey. Who's this?" I stand up, setting the ball down on the rack.
"This is Sydney."
Sydney extends her arm for me to shake and gives me a smile. I shake her hand. Who was she anyways?
"I'm Zara." I introduce.
Sydney gives me a slight nod.
"What are you doing here? Bowling alone?" Calum asks, confused. He looks amazing, honestly. I could practically feel his hair between my fingers, and his arms around my waist. I tried avoiding looking at his pouty lips, or I'd have trouble refraining myself from pouncing onto him.
