The Deal

26: I'm even crying

Zeke

I wake up for the third time when Chelsea gets off the bed and heads to the bathroom.

I get up and follow her. Holding her hair back, i rub her back as she throws up.

" Fuck," She mutters running a hand through her hair after she rinses out her mouth. " I'm sorry."

" It's okay," I say giving her a hug. She sighs and hugs me back.

" I'm so tired," She mumbles. 

" I know baby. I am too," I say. " Want me to carry you to the bed?" 

When she nods, i pick her up, her legs going around my waist as i carry her to the bed. 

" Thanks for staying tonight," She mumbles when i set her down. 

" I wasn't planning on leaving tonight," I say sitting next to her as she lays down. 

" Sing something," She says holding my hand.

" What?"

" Sing," She says. " I haven't heard you sing."

" Must I?" 

" Do you love me?"

" That's not fair," I say giving her a look. 

" Please?" She gives me a sad look, knowing i can't say no. 

" Don't give me that look Chelsea," I complain turning away. 

" Please babe? I won't ask again," She says.

" We both know that's a lie," I say turning back to her.

" So yes?" She gives me a hopeful grin.

" Fine. Just because i love you and i can't find a way to say no to you," I say. " Well not yet at least." 

Chelsea scoffs and presses a kiss on my cheek. " Make that never."

I just smile at her. " What song?" 

" Surprise me," She says. I think for a minute and decide on a song. 

" It's a duet though," I say.

" I'm not singing."

" Yes you are. I wanna hear your singing voice," I say grabbing my phone.

" Fine. What song?" I press the track.

" You know it," I say as it plays. Her eyes light up. 

" I love this song," She says. i smile at her before i start singing. 

I sing my part before Chelsea comes in. When i hear her voice, i freeze. It's beautiful.

When her voice comes in with mine, they match perfectly. We sing the final part together.

" Your voice," I say once we finish. 

" What about it?" 

" It's fucking beautiful," I say in awe. She blushes slightly.

" Yours is pretty good too," She says leaning on me. 

" Yours is better," I say turning my head to look at her. She rolls her eyes.

" Our voices go well together," She points out when i place her in my lap, facing me.

" I noticed that too," I say as she cocks her head to the side, wondering what I'm doing.

" What?" Chelsea asks. 

I don't answer, instead bury my head in her neck. " I seriously love you Chelsea."
