Carter's POV: 

"I cannot believe it's already Friday" I sigh lying down on Tanner's bed. 

"Me either - I'm excited to go to your house tomorrow" she says laughing and I sit up a little. 

"I'm not excited for Zayn to come" 

"Is he still coming?" she asks fixing her blonde hair in the mirror. 

"I think so"  

Were interrupted by her phone ringing she excuses herself then exits. 

I stare up at the ceiling and sigh. It's been a weird but nice week, me and Zayn spent a lot of it together and we had fun. He opened up a lot to me this week and was a lot less well Zayn. I haven't spoken to Niall since he stormed out of my room. I have been ignoring his calls and failed attempts to speak to me in English. It's better if I just ignore him and eventually he'll go away? 

"Harry just invited me to come home with him!" Tanner exclaims coming out of the bathroom. 

"Isn't that a little rushed?" 

"We dated before Carter" 

"He cheated" I remind her and she bites her lip. 

"I'm trying to be optimistic" she states placing her phone on her dresser. 

"That means I'm alone with Zayn all week?" I cover my mouth. I'm not going to lie it sounded exciting. 

"I guess, yeah. Unless you want me to cancel with Harry?" she offers turning her wide smile into a small frown. 

"I'd like you too - but I think you should go with Harry. It'll be good for you two."  

"Are you going to tell Zayn about how Niall was halfway down your throat before he came or is that staying a secret?" 

"Things are good between me and Zayn why would I screw them up with a little itty bitty secret? He probably has tons!" I say laughing and Tanner shakes her head. 

"It's not a good idea Carter" 

"I know. But when are my plans ever good ideas?" she smiles and squeils. 

"I can't believe he asked me to come home with him!"  

"Me either" I say sighing a little. 

"Do you think I shouldn't go?" 

"Like I said it'll be good for the both of you" 

"I want things how they were." she says sighing and sitting on her bed next to me. 

"Me too" I furrow my eyebrows and she forces a smile. 

… 

.. 

.. 

Zayn's made himself a concoon in my bed and has tangled his legs and arms inbetween mine. Leaving his mouth agape a little as soft snores escape his mouth.  

"Zayn...get up" I say pecking his lips softly. 

"It's time to get up already?" he says sighing against my mouth and I giggle. 

"Yes" 

"We could just stay here" he persuades. 

The dorm is empty since Tanner left with Harry last night. Zayn spent the night so we could leave early this morning but staying in bed with him sounds more fun than going home to my family.
