Lying flat on my back against the soft fabric I can't help but fidget, even now having done all my work. About now I'd be tempted to get a snack but know this is no longer an option, as unfortunate as that is. Sighing, I turn on my front and reach over for my phone, immediately texting him seeing as it's early. 

 Can you come over for like 3 hours? I'm bored. 

I sent the message to Calum knowing he's always up for an evening in, and as my best friend his job is to monitor what I eat. For some bizarre reason I agreed to go on a diet, and to make my life easier Cal agreed to do it with me. His idea is that by doing it then it'll make me feel better and have someone to struggle with as we miss all the goodness in food and instead chew on leaves.

The doorbell rang and moaning I rolled off my bed, landing on the floor with a light thud. Picking myself back up I proceeded to run down the stairs, maybe that can count as my exercise for the entire day. As I got to the door he stood there looking tired, rubbing his eyes I glanced down to notice his pyjama trousers. "I was sleepy." He shrugged his shoulders and walked straight past me and went upstairs. 

Once I reached the top of the stairs and followed him into my room he was spread out across my bed, face down. "What are you doing?" I ask as I hover by my bed, unable to join him. 

He mumbled incoherent words as he remained face down, the long silence that followed made him lift his head up and was greeted by annoyance from me. "I said I'm sleepy and want a nap. Don't do that face either, I get you that you miss chocolate but so do I. And pizza." The mention of the delicacies made my mouth water and borderline drool. Quickly I wiped it away with my sleeve but a light laugh from Calum signalled he saw. "Real smooth."

Eventually he moved and allowed me to join him. Leaning against his chest we flicked through Netflix before agreeing to watch Breaking Bad. As I sat engrossed in the second episode I glanced up to see Calum, eyes closed and fast asleep. A small pout on his lips as his eyes remained tightly shut and his grip around me had loosened. 

Rolling my eyes I couldn't hide the rumbling of my stomach any more and headed downstairs. I began to search through the cupboards and fridge in need of something edible rather than what I've been forcing myself to eat for the past two weeks. With my parents still at work and Calum fast asleep no one would know or suspect anything. Yet as I reached the last cupboard I found nothing, nothing worth the effort this has taken me. 

Sighing I headed back into the hallway and saw some money lying around that I had from the other week, smiling to myself I picked it up and wandered back into the kitchen. I began to search on my phone until I found the right app and made an order before sneaking back upstairs to lie with Calum. 

As I got back to my room he was awake and when he saw me a smile formed on his face. "Where'd you go?" He asked confused and paused the show.

Sitting back in his arms I placed my phone back in my pocket, "Toilet." I lied but accepting my answer he pressed play as if nothing had happened.

After a while the doorbell went and he glanced down to me. "Expecting someone?" I slowly shook my head as he got up and headed downstairs. "Pause it for me?" Pressing the button I trailed the top of the stairs as I heard his confusion as he accepted the pizza and once the door closed he called out my name in a confused manner. 

Quickly I ran back and jumped on my bed, trying my best to look bored. As he came in holding the extra large pizza he looked a mixture of disappointed and impressed. "You ordered pizza?" He laughed lightly as I smiled, eyeing up the box containing the thing I've been craving ever since I made the mistake of giving it up a matter of weeks ago. "When?" 

"Whilst you were asleep." I stated and he just laughed at me as I crawled across the bed, getting closer to him and the pizza. "Cheat day?" He ponders the thought making my stomach growl louder in the silence. 

"You must be hungry. Come on." He placed the pizza on the bed and we devoured it, moaning happily about how good it tastes. "Do we have to keep going with this diet, pizza is too good." He groaned as we finished the last slices, now completely full and unable to move. 

I collapsed onto him as he pressed play, releasing a small burp that he chuckled at. "Sorry." I muttered to him as my eyes began to feel heavy. 

"Sleep well pizza fiend." He joked as I drifted off, unable to resist after eating so much.
