Late Night Hugs

Chapter 4

Zoe woke up, she propped herself up on her arm to look at Blake, he looked so perfect when he was sleeping.
Blake groaned as he woke up, "The light!" He mumbled, referring to the shades that were somewhat drawn.
Zoe laughed softly, she sat up in front of him, preventing the light from shining onto his face.
"Thanks, babe." Blake mumbled as he hugged Zoe's waist, being too lazy to sit up and hug her, "Love you."
"Love you too." She smiled.
"Zoe, I love you so much, I'm so glad you said yes last night." Blake whispered. He suddenly sat up and kissed Zoe, tickling her stomach.
Zoe pulled away laughing.
Blake laughed and rolled over on the bed, pulling Zoe on top of him, "When are we going to tell everyone that we are engaged?"
"We'll tell everyone today at breakfast." Zoe said, running her hands through Blake's disheveled hair as she looked down into his sparkling eyes.
"If we go to breakfast..." Blake growled with a suggestive look in his eye.
Zoe laughed lightly and crashed her lips onto Blake's.
Blake kissed Zoe back passionately. "You're a very good kisser, you know that?" Blake groaned in between kisses.
"You better quiet down." Zoe whispered, biting Blake's lower lip gently.
"It's not like I care." Blake flipped Zoe over and started kissing her neck.
Zoe wrapped her arms around Blake's strong body, she smiled warmly as he kissed her neck.
Blake huffed and moved to Zoe's ear, he nibbled at her earlobe.
Zoe sat up abruptly, "Come on, Blake, we need to get to breakfast so we can tell everyone."
Blake huffed and ran a hand through his disheveled hair, "You're killing me, Zoe!" He mumbled, standing up to put some clothes on.
Zoe chuckled and stood up, "Sorry." She said as she grabbed her clothes and ran to the bathroom.
Blake got dressed and headed down stairs to find everyone looking at him with a smirk on their faces, "What?" He asked innocently, even though he already knew why they were looking at him like that.
Zoe came out wearing jean shorts and a sweatshirt with her hair in a braided bun. She skipped downstairs and stood next to Blake shyly.
Blake took a seat next to an empty seat so Zoe could sit next to him. Bailey, however, was sitting on his other side, he didn't mind though.
Bailey smiled brightly, she grabbed Blake's hand. "Hi!" She yelled.
"Hey, Bailey, what's up?!" Blake smiled.
"Food." She held up her plate before slamming it back onto the table and holding up her fork excitedly.
Blake looked around as everyone was eating except for Zoe and him. "Erm, Zoe and I have something we want to say..." Blake cleared his throat.
"Please don't tell me Zoe's pregnant?!" Mrs. Witherson cried.
Zoe straightened her posture and laughed nervously.
"No, something even better..." Blake looked at Zoe for her to finish his sentence.
"We're getting married." She held up her left hand and wiggled her fingers, showing off her ring.
Baileys jaw dropped, "Fancy!" She squealed, leaning over the table to get a closer view of Zoe's ring. "It's so pretty." She said.
"It looks expensive." Mr. Witherson gaped.
"I don't care if it was or not, it's still beautiful." Zoe said, hugging her hand to her chest as she looked at Blake.
Blake smiled and kissed Zoe's forehead.
"When is your wedding?" Mrs. Witherson asked.
"I honestly don't know...we haven't decided on a date." Blake pondered, looking at Zoe.
"We want to have it sometime in the summer." Zoe said, dropping her hand back down to her side and looking over at Mrs. Witherson.
"Well, today is May 7th so..." Blake looked at Zoe to finish his sentence.
"So, the wedding can be sometime in June." Zoe suggested.
"Yea, that's a smart idea, because the weather is not too hot and not too cold." Blake chimed in.
Zoe nodded in agreement.
"My head hurts already, and we haven't even officially started planning it." Blake groaned.
Zoe patted his hand, "But it'll all be worth it in the end." She pointed out.
Blake nodded with a mouthful of pancakes in his mouth.
Zoe grabbed a pancake with her hand and stuffed it into her mouth.
"I feel like I'm eating with animals!" Mrs. Witherson said, standing up.
Bailey stood up and gathered everyone's dishes. She rinsed them in the sink before loading the dishwasher.
"Thank you, Bailey." Mrs. Witherson smiled and walked to the living room with her husband.
Zoe stood up, "So, what do you wanna do today?" She asked Blake, pushing her chair in.
"I didn't plan anything out for today, so, maybe we could cuddle and watch some chick flicks?" Blake asked Zoe.
"Sounds good." Zoe said, giving Blake a thumbs up.
Blake smirked and grabbed some movies before dashing up to the bedroom to set up the TV in their room.
"Come on, we're going to watch Mean Girls!" Blake squealed like a little girl.
Zoe laughed, "Ok ok!" She hopped onto the bed.
Blake put the movie in and hopped onto the bed next to Zoe. "It's always fun to cuddle and watch girls kill off other girls with popularity schemes." Blake deadpanned.
Zoe chuckled and snuggled closer to Blake.
Blake wrapped them both in a big fluffy blanket and started the movie.
