"Alright, miss clingy" Zac tried to peel me off him, "Feel likes the old days"

I pulled back, the scowl from earlier returned to my face. I shoved an accusing finger to his chest, "You can't say all those nice things then not expect me to hug you!"

He brought his hand up to the top of my head, patting it, "It's fine, I missed this you"

"Oh, so you don't like me now?"

"I didn't like you with Max"

Just at his name a lump formed in his throat but I attempted to hide that, trying to pretend it didn't affect me. Instead I smiled up at him, "I think you just miss young Hollie looking up to you as if you were her idol"

"I am your idol"

"You had your chance with me. You snooze, you lose"

He hesitated, seemingly thinking about what I just said. I cocked an eyebrow when he didn't respond for a second before a small smile formed on his face, "Pack your bags then"

"I need to call my parents first"

"You're coming home with me"

"I'm not moving in with you"

"I'm not going to try anything"

"I don't care" Why was I being like this? It was like one part of me still wanted to stay loyal to Max even though he had just cheated on me. I hadn't necessarily told him we were breaking up, and I didn't want to stoop to his level and seem like a cheater too.

That probably didn't make any sense but it sort of did in my head and that was all I needed.

"Why? What's your reason?" He sat down onto the bed. Although I turned my back and began taking down my clothes, I knew he was watching me. It honestly felt like his gaze was going to drill through me.

"I just can't"

"For what reason?"

"I don't want to be around a male right now"

"You're with me right now, and it's not awkward"

"I tried to kick you out and you didn't leave"

"Okay if your really want me to leave, I'll go"

I hesitated, my fingers curling around the hanger tighter. Would he actually leave...

"That's fine"

"You hesitated... a lot"

"So?"

"If you wanted me gone, you'd tell me right off the bat. I'm not dumb. Now what's the real reason? I said you don't need to be near me, you'll have your own bathroom, bedroom and I'll be up before you so we won't see each other in the morning"

I stayed silent, "It just doesn't feel right"

"Do I make you uncomfortable?"

"No. You know you don't, why are you even asking that?"

"I'm hoping that's the reason" When he said that I spun around in surprise, my brow furrowing. He wanted me to feel uncomfortable around me?

When I saw the dull dark look on his face, I hesitated. Just his gaze caught me off guard and I had to clear my throat to be able to speak, "Uhm... why?"
