The Nerd Has Benefits (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 44.5

I hear the birds chirping as I slowly open my eyes. Sunlight passes through the light fabric of the curtains and shines the room.

I yawn quietly and slowly lift myself up from my bed, but I suddenly I was stop when I felt strong arms wrapped around my waist.

I turned around to see who it was, and to my surprise, it was Zac. I forgot that he wanted to sleep over cause his right eye is still sore and he don't want to come home in the middle of the night.

But, I specifically told him to sleep on the couch down the living room. What the hell is he doing here?

I lightly slap Zac's arm and he groans in response. "Get your humongous arms off of me!" I whisper yell. He groans again and holds me tightly.

I hissed in annoyance. I slap his again but with force. "Come on Zac! I'm not kidding! I still have to cook breakfast!" I hastily say. He slowly opens his eyes. "Let's just rest for another hour." He says and close his eyes.

I roll my eyes and scoff. "I don't have another hour! I still have to clean the house and study for the test before mom gets back." He says. His eyes quickly widens as realization hits him. "Shit, I forgot about mom!" He quickly says.

I grab Zac's arms and forcefully pull it away from his waist. Zac groans in annoyance. I grab one of my throw pillows and throw it directly at Zac's face. He hissed in pain and shoves the pillow away from his face.

"Goddamit! Fine, I'll get up!" He quicky says as he pulls away the sheet away from him.

His messy hair covers his face. My eyes widens as I saw him only on his underwear.

"What the fuck?! Why are you only your underwear?!" I asks as I grab on of the pillows and throw it towards him. He laughs lightly as the pillow hits him.

"My clothes stink in sweat. What choice do I have?" He nonchalantly asks. I roll my eyes in rub my forehead in frustration. "And why are you suddenly in my room? I told you to sleep in the coach!" I says as I pointed my finger towards the door.

"It was hot in there! So I decided to go to your room, silently. You look cute when you sleep by the way. You look like a newborn puppy." He says as winks at me.

I look away from him and rub my temples. I didn't expect for him to do all this stupid stuff. He told me last night that he wants to just stay here after all of that...kissing fiasco. It was awkward to continue talking to him anyways so I just agreed on letting him stay here.

"Well! Go on and put your clothes back on!" I demanded. He shook his head in response and sighs. "My shirt is still wet from bathing last night. I'll just wear my pants if you want." He says. I roll my eyes and cross my arms. "If you lend me one of your shirts then it will fix our problems." He suggested.

I simply shook my head. "No. You're too big to fit in my shirt. You're too...lean and....big." I slowly trailed off as I explained thoroughly. "And you don't like that?" He says and smirks. My face turned red in embarrassment. "I...d-do...not!" I stuttered.

He chuckles and walks towards me. "Look, you need to just chill. When you're mom gets here, just explain that we were doing assignments and projects. You know, all of that school shit." He says as he stares into my eyes. I scrunched my face. "I can't lie to my mom. She trusted me to keep the house safe." I responded.

Zac scoffs and chuckles. "It's not like Hollywood reenact World War II inside your house. It's just you and me here." He explains. I close my eyes and groans. "That's what I mean. I never let anyone inside my house." I said. "Well, I'm here and the house looks the same way ever since I've got here. You're just thinking too much.." He reassured.

I said nothing but to look at him with an assuring look. Maybe he's right. I sigh and pull away from Zac's grip and head towards the my wardrobe. I quickly looked for my biggest shirt that I rarely wear. My mom thought that there was a possibility for me to get fat when I hit puberty, but sadly she was wrong. I never gained weight yet lose any. I blame the genes or I'm just not really into eating.

I tossed the shirt towards Zac. He quickly catches it and looks it with a curiosity etched on his face. "Whose shirt is this?" He asks as he looks at me. "It's mine." I said as I close the wardrobe. "This is pretty big." He said. I nod in response. "Wear it. It should fit you right."

He nods and slowly puts on the shirt. I watched him as the fabric covers his body. God, he should do modeling. I never seen such body except from Men's magazine or from Bench male models. Is that even an highschool body? Well, he's jock. Most of the jocks in the school are well build, but their brains are poorly average.

I mentally shook my thoughts away. I'm such a daydreamer. "I'll just go and get my pants in your bathroom." He says. I nod and I watched him exit the room. I walk slowly towards my bed and started arranging my pillows. My eyes suddenly stop to where Zac was sleeping.

He was sleeping besides me. Should I be happy? Should I feel flattered? I mean, I had a crush on him like months ago. Maybe I liked him because he was attractive and has all of these masculine features that I was fond of. But, now I get to explore his attitude.

I just don't get it why he does all of those things? Hating on weaker students, sleeping with every girl he sees, and insulting every person who he sees as something worth insulting.

'Just give me a chance to prove myself'

Should I really give him a chance? Maybe he's just confused. For all that I know, he never dated a guy. I've seen him across the school hallways with some girl attached to his lips. Now, why me?

I've never been confused in my entire life. Just like solving algebraic expressions within a minute. All of these information are jumble up inside my head.

I hate this. I hate feeling like I don't know what to do. I should just have like him and he should never liked me back! I should be moving on and this stuff shouldn't hold me back! Finding easier solutions is my thing! That should only be my thing!

"Uhh. Matt? Are you okay?" A voice speaks out. I quickly look towards that direction to see it was Zac. He looks stunning with my shirt on. His hair is wet so it means he probably took a bath. I put on a fake smile and nods. "Yeah. I'm alright. Just wait for me in the living room and I'll cook us breakfast." I said.

He slowly nods and walks away. When he was out of sight, I flopped on top of my bed and groaned.

This is going to be an awkward morning.
