"it's fine, i'll just take you to my room, is that okay with you?" zion suggests.
"yes yes that's perfectly fine." i was truly astonished. i've always wanted to sleep with zion. but not in that way at all. just to be next to him, to watch his face reflect in the moonlight and to see him in such a peaceful yet vulnerable state.
he grabs my hand once again making my whole body ripple with joy. it was too late at night to feel this alive. i smile and tighten the grip on his hand. still slightly stumbling and he stops and asks if i'm able to walk i nod and he suggests i take off my heels which i forgot i even had on, my feet were pretty much numb from the pain. the feeling of my toes start to come back to me and i was able to walk a little better.
i unattached my hand from zion's hand to his lower back for more of a stable hold, i was starting to feel less sober, it was getting bad again. he notices and adjusts his ginormous hand to my lower back as well keeping a pretty tight grip on me.
we finally made it to his room which was down the other hall. and he pulls out his wallet which had his room key in it. he was rooming with one of the boys, i assumed nick as i see a numerous amount of oddly clean shoes. but he wasn't anywhere to be found.
"nick probably went back with another girl. he texted me hours ago saying he'll be back tomorrow morning for breakfast." he chuckles making me chuckle. "so if you want to sleep in his bed your more than welcome." i was taken back by his words, i thought i would be in his bed with him...in his arms, he obviously didn't think of me in that way.
i gave a kind of "oh" nod really disappointed actually. "would it be okay if i slept in your bed?" i shot my shot, i did it for the hell of it, at least i could blame it on my drink the next morning.
"i mean yeah if it makes a difference i guess i'll take nicks bed then." he replies.
what. a. moron.
"zion." i step closer to him grabbing his hands. i start to giggle. "i might not be completely sober right now but i'm able to say this. what i meant is that could i sleep in your bed...with you?" i say backing away realizing my question.
"well shit you should've said that from the beginning. come on let's sleep." he laughed and dug through this suitcase handing me a t shirt to sleep in and i head to the bathroom.
i leave the bathroom folding up my dress and placing it on the counter with my heels nearby. i climb in bed next to zion who was only in boxers. as i immediately get comfortable he snakes his hands around my neck forcing my head in his chest. i feel relaxed and satisfied and i wrap my arms around his torso drawing shapes on his back leaving him with goosebumps.
"i've always liked you y/n. i hope you know that."
"well i do now." i smile and so does he, i can tell from the reflection of the moon. i move one of my hands from his back to the side of his face moving a couple dreads from his face here and there. he leans in and so do i meeting him half way connecting our lips together.
i taste a slight hint of mint and vodka on his lips. the kiss starts to deepen and so does his tongue. it all felt like a dream. i was so focused on the feeling and zion that i might've forgotten to kiss back. we pull apart and i just lay there licking my lips in satisfaction.
"that was amazing." we both say grinning. i almost feel high just off of his smile. or maybe it was my drink.
"i wish this would've happened sooner. is it too early to say i love you?" he whispers playing with my hair.
"never."
"then y/n, i love you."
"i love you zion." it felt so natural like i've said it before.
"but promise me we'll find my room key tomorrow." i mention and we both laugh.
"i promise." he says wrapping his arms around me placing multiple kisses on my forehead.
what a night.
