me and you

Chapter 25

The next afternoon, I woke up due to a ringing phone. Only, it wasn't my ringtone. And when I opened my eyes, I wasn't in my room in my own bed. Where the hell was I?

I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes before looking around. I sighed in relief when I realized I was in Tzuyu's room. I remembered us being too tired to go all the way to my house the previous night.

After Mark and I had gone back to the kitchen, I was immediately dragged out by my sister and Chaeyoung who both wanted to dance with me. I'd spent the next two hours dancing with them until Mark had successfully convinced the two to let him take me. He'd led me to a quiet place in the enormous house, and we'd simply sat and talked until he'd fallen asleep from exhaustion. An hour or so later, Tzuyu had found me and told me we were leaving. We'd both been so tired that even though it was only a few more minutes until we reached my house, Tzuyy just parked in front of her family's mansion and we'd stumbled sleepily inside and up to her room. As soon as I'd collapsed on her bed, I'd fallen asleep.

The phone stopped ringing, only to start again a minute later. I reached for it and without thinking answered the call. "Hello?"

"Whoa, you are not Tzuyu." It was Mark.

I yawned. "Nope. Hey Mark. What's up?"

"Sana?" he asked. "What the hell are you doing with Tzuyu's phone?"

"I crashed at her house last night. The phone was ringing, and it didn't seem like she would be answering it any time soon, so I answered instead."

"Oh. Well where is She?"

"I don't..." I trailed off when I finally noticed the arms that were around my waist.

I looked to find a sleeping Tzuyu lying behind me. Her long, dark hair was splayed across her face, some of it in her mouth, as her lips were parted. She was shirtless and was only in sports bra, I realized. Her arms were around my waist, and my back was against her bare chest. And under the blankets, I felt her bare legs were tangled with mine. Somehow in the middle of the night, Tzuyu and I had changed positions so that we were cuddling.

I bit my lip. I couldn't exactly tell Mark that Tzuyu was spooning me. He might get the wrong idea about the situation. So what did I do? I lied. "I don't know. She's not in her room or the shower. She might be down in the kitchen."

"Well in that case, could you give her a message for me?"

"Sure," I answered.

"Tell her I won," he said. "She'll know what I mean."

"Um...that's a strange message, but okay, I'll tell her."

"Thanks babe. I'll see you later." He hung up before I could get another word in.

I sighed and tossed Tzuyu's phone to the floor. I tried to remove myself from her arms, but they tightened around me.

"Don't leave me," She mumbled. "I wanna cuddle."

"I have to pee."

She made a strange whining sound as she tightened her grip further. "Hold it."

I sighed. "I'm not winning this one, am I?"

She nuzzled the back of my neck. "Nope."

"Great," I muttered. "Why are we like this?"

"We've been like this since last night," She answered. "After I wrestled you into more comfortable clothes, changed my own, and took out my contacts, I rewarded myself for staying awake long enough to do so by cuddling you."

I looked under the blankets to find that I was wearing a giant shirt that definitely wasn't mine. It must have been hers if the size was anything to go by. I also discovered that she was in nothing but her shorts. I wasn't disturbed by this fact though, for I had seen Tzuyu in nothing but a towel a few times at this point, not to mention that towel was always wrapped loosely around her body.
