My Cowboy

Chapter 19

We ended up going to the after party even though I really didn't want to since I didn't want to be in the same house as Zach more than necessary. But the others wanted to so I had to comply, to my annoyance. However, it didn't turn out as bad as I though and I only saw him once during the whole evening and then when I got home Nate told me the most amazing news. Jerkface will only stay with us one more night because his brother needed him for something. I actually made a little dance around the house when he told me, that's how happy I got.

Now, when I'm sitting in my couch watching TV I realize that I actually have to stand him tonight too, or at least manage to make him stay away. It shouldn't be too hard though since Nate is here now and they will probably play games or something. I sink back into the sofa and relax until I hear a knock on my door.

"Come in!" Nate enters and tells me he's going to bed and I understand why because he looks like he's falling apart soon.

"Okay, goodnight! And don't disappear again please!" He laughs and make his way out. I put my focus on the TV again and slowly starts drifting off to sleep. But right when I'm on the very edge of it someone opens my door and turns the lights on. I mumble to them to get out but they laugh.

"No can do princess" He sings making me jump up from the couch. I really don't want to have him here now, I'm so tired of his "you're my slave"-shit but he obviously doesn't care about that.

"Why? Why can't you just leave me alone and mind your own business for once? Just get out, okay?"

"But I don't want to do that, I can't just leave you alone my last night here can I?" I tell him that yes, he can do that and that it's not like he will never see me again. He laughs and tell me that it doesn't matter, he still wants to be with me tonight. I let out a frustrated scream and throw a pillow at him and tell him to get out or I'll yell for Nate.

"You don't want to do that, do you? Don't you remember what I said I'll tell him if you tell him anything? Exactly!" He sees my annoyed and a bit frightened expression. I let out a frustrated sigh and ask him what he wants. His first reply is "you" but I just glare.

"Okay, okay, take it easy there! I'm just kidding! It's not a lie though," he mumbles the last part but I'm pretty sure I heard exactly what he said. He tells me he just wants to watch a movie with me but I'm honestly too tired so I tell him that.

"I'll fall asleep before it's even ten minutes into it, so there's no point really." He sighs and actually give up.

"Okay, goodnight then!" And leaves before I have the chance to say it back to him. I'm actually so stunned that he gave up that I just stand there staring after him for a few minutes. I get back to reality when a scream is let out from the TV. I shut it off and jump into bed but my mind is spinning so I can't fall asleep. I just don't get why he gave up so fast on trying to get me to watch that movie nor do I get why I'm so hung up on it. Or I guess a small part of me have actually started to tolerate and maybe even like him a bit, not romantically though, or I mean, I can't deny that he looks great. I think a part of me actually wants him here and is a bit sad that he won't be bothering me as much anymore, that I won't see him as much anymore.

Zach's POV

I have no idea why I left Cara's room without even trying at all to get her to spend time with me. What happened to me in there? I'm not one to give up just because someone says they are tired. She's doing something to me and I'm not sure if I like I or not. I have never doing something because someone told me to, I do what I feel like but she didn't even have to ask me, just say that she's tired. I'm so confused with myself right now. She begged me before and I didn't stop but now I just did what she said, like that! She has started to grow on me and I think I'm actually fine with it. I don't mind, I don't mind listening to her and having her close. But now I won't even get to see her every day anymore, and that is so sad because I have gotten used to having her nearby. I need to figure out a way to see her often, without her figuring out that it's because of her.
