Chapter 16

"Come on Sel, you need to sleep"

"No! Let's have a pillow fight!" I proclaim, excitedly launching myself at Zach across the bed and hitting him on the chest with a pillow.

"You're not going to remember any of this tomorrow morning" he chuckles. I slap his arm with my hand lightly.

"Who cares! Let's have fun" I throw a pillow at him but he doesn't even move an inch. Ugh, why is he so strong? I pretend I am going to lay down to sleep so that Zach takes his guard down, I then launch at him with a pillow and push him on to his back on the bed we're on.

"I see, you like to play dirty" he flashes me his sexy smile.

"It's a little fun" I tease as I hit him with a pillow again, I am about to use another one but he grabs on to it and both of us struggle to get control.

Zach and I start laughing as I use one of my hands to quickly get a pillow from behind me next to the headboard and hit him in the face. Zach however doesn't lose grip of the pillow we are struggling over and instead tackles me on to my back, I am laughing hysterically at this point. Zach is hovering over me now, the pillows have been thrown on to the floor, and Zach is pinning my arms above my head on the bed with his hands.

"Bad Selena" he smirks, I try to wiggle out of his grip but it's not working since his legs are on either side of mine and trapping me in place.

I become aware of the position we are in now and find myself feel a sudden sense of yearning for him. I grab his face which is above mine and pull it down so our noses are touching. He is taken by surprise and loses balance on his arms and legs, his body now pressed deliciously against mine. I can feel every ridge of his muscles, his sculpted physique fits perfectly against mine and both of us seem to rest perfectly together; it's so comfortable.

"Let's sleep like this" I decide as I wrap my arms around Zach's neck so that the side of his head is pressed to my chest like a teddy bear.

"Unfortunately not babe, I will be in my room and you're staying in here" I moan,

"Pleeeease" I whine. He pulls himself up and smirks at me,

"I have no doubt that I will be hearing those sounds from you in a very different context in the near future" he winks "but for tonight at least, you're sleeping in here alone, I don't want to risk castration when you wake up sober tomorrow"

"I am not going to sleep then" I announce, sitting up and crossing my arms over my chest.

"You are a stubborn drunk"

"Am not" he raises an eyebrow at me.

"Alright captain, now get to bed, please?" he asks me softly. We engage in a silent glaring battle before I huff and give in. If it means that much to him then whatever. I lay down on the bed and pull the sheets up under my arm.

"Thank you, your hangover will still be a bitch tomorrow though" he warns before I hear his footsteps getting more distant. The room's light's then turn off and I hear Zach say goodnight before the door closes quietly, leaving me immersed in darkness and silence.

We got to Zach's house about 30 minutes ago, I think, and he gave me one of his t-shirt's and some sweatpants to pull on. Both of which are ridiculously big, so I ended up pulling off the sweatpants and hitting Zach with pillows instead.

I am in the same guestroom I was in the last time I stayed here, but this time it doesn't feel as nice, something feels missing.

I try and force myself to sleep but I keep fidgeting and eventually decide to give up. I sit up in bed and see from the clock that it's actually quite late and I should probably be asleep. I don't want to go and irritate Zach again, I have probably annoyed him enough these last few weeks, he's become basically a babysitter to me. I close my eyes and lay down again, willing myself to think of nice things.
