The next morning, I woke up to a fit of giggling at the end of the bed I was in.

I was a light sleeper, Zach wasn't. I looked up a bit and there standing was Mario,Weston,Brennen,Loren, and Nick.

Lovely.

I pulled my arm up from under the covers and put my index finger to my lips, indicating them to shush, so he didn't wake up. They all quieted down, but Weston's phone was being passed around to look at. It's quiet giggles until it gets to Loren.

"Awwww! Weston, send this to me!!" She squealed.

Oh god.

She handed him his phone and he turned it so it could face me. It was a picture of Zach and I, in the bed, of course. The blackmail they could use that for. YEET.

I slowly started to crawl out of bed, because I couldn't stand to lay there much longer and let them take any more pictures. As I slinked away, a tender hand grabbed my waist, and I squeaked. Zach used his arm to pull me closer to him and put his head in the crook of my neck.

Somehow, he was still asleep.

I looked up at Loren, who held up her hands entangled beside her face, cocked her head and mouthed "awwwwwee!"

"What do I do guys!? What time do we need to be at playlist by??" I whisper yelled. The clock on the bed stand read 10:12.

"Not 'till 4, little miss. You'll be fine, just chill with your boy," Nick joked, then winked.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed playfully at him. Weston took a video of himself and Brennen on snapchat, then flipped the camera around to video Zach and I.

"Daddy times all around at the playlist hotel..I bet Ariel would agree."

"Aw Weston stop, you're embarrassing her," Loren laughed. "You big meany."

Mario was being awfully quiet.

In fact, I haven't heard from him much the past few days, other than texts.

Then, as if reading my mind, he finally spoke. "We should roll out you guys. Leave them to do whatever since we have until four, plus if we want to catch those lunch reservations we made at the café." God bless for Mario. He knows what's up.

The rest of the gang shuffled out of the room and it was just me and Zach again. I figured I could sleep another few hours, since we were up 'till three.

Since Zach had his head in the crook of my neck already, I snuggled my head into the top of his, my nose and hands in his hair. I heard him start to mumble something.

"Ar-Ariel? Is that you? Are we cuddling?" He pulled me in even closer.

"Nah. Go back to sleep, Zach."

I woke for the second time that day and this time, it was 3:26. I looked over at Zach, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, scrolling through his phone, fully dressed and ready, wearing his favorite flannel and jeans. He turned around when he noticed I'd set up. "Oh, you're up, hey," he said calmly.
