*alarm*
I quickly came back to reality and opened my eyes slowly letting out a long breath. I reached over and hit end then turning my head to see Lauren peacefully sleeping.
I sighed and rolled out of bed lazily rubbing my eyes till my vision was no longer blurry and got up to brush my teeth.
After I brushed my teeth I went back into the room and threw on my yellow UCLA hoodie and grey joggers then making my way to the kitchen at a comfortable sleepy pace.
" Mornin' " Zayn said with a faint smile
I sighed in defeat " morning ." I didn't feel like acting like a smart ass today or being a dick, I just felt like I was existing at this point.
I walked past him and went to the fridge to grab the carton of orange juice then to the cabinet to grab three glasses. I poured juice in all three and slid one over to Zayn.
He looked at me surprised and smiled " thank you Y/n I'm glad you're warming up to me, and thank you for putting me to bed last night..I appreciate it love" he nodded and walked away to his room probably to get packed because we all had flights in a couple hours.
"Yeah" I said as he walked away. I felt weird today like I wasn't myself, I just felt so dull and grey. I shook my head and took the two glasses into Lauren's room and sat mine on the nightstand before grabbing a bottle of Tylenol from my backpack.
I sat up on my side of the bed and shook Lauren's shoulder " hey wake up" my voice still raspy and thick with sleep
She fluttered her eyes open and smiled as she inhaled sharply stretching her limbs" Good morning babe, what time is it?" She sat up and held her head
" 6am" i informed the hungover girl "here take this" I handed her one long white pill and the glass of orange juice which she gladly took
"Thank you " she smiled and took the pill quickly. She reached up and grabbed my arm pulling me on to her, my side laid against her center and I cradled up to her frame laying my head in the crook of her arm. She ran her fingers through my hair soothingly " can we talk about why you look like someone shot your dog" she giggled
I huffed " really Laur?"
She sighed " I know I know" she leaned down and kissed my head " we just went out to dinner because we got hungry. Baby this is a publicity stunt and he's my pretend boyfriend for awhile so we have to make it look real. You act like I want to be out with him.. I rather be cuddled up under your arm watching a golden girls marathon or Rachel ray than be out with anyone else" she giggled faintly
"This just doesn't feel right, I'm watching the girl I'm falling in love with kiss someone else.. in front of my face." I said in a monotone voice " it's like seeing Lindsey in bed with that guy all over again "
" Y/n" her raspy voice was like music to my ears no matter what mood I was in.
" hm?"
" I know it may seem too early but I'm saying this because I feel it and no I'm not saying this because of the circumstances" She sighed and traced my jawline with her finger tip " I love you and I mean it. You don't have to say it back just know I love you and I promise I'm not going anywhere, you're stuck with me" she giggled and kissed my cheek
I tried my hardest to fight back the big smile waiting to give in for me but I stayed strong and kept a straight face. "Tell him, Tell him you love me and shut him down then. Make sure he knows he doesn't have a chance and this is strictly for work." I sat up and waited for her to get up. I wasn't kidding.
