cotton candy stitches

July 19, 2018

As soon as I wake up, I feel his strong arms wrapped tightly around me. His breathing is steady, his hair a big, cute mess.

It's Zach's room. He must have moved us at some point. I'm still in my clothes that I had come to his house in, but at least it's comfortable.

Zach groans into my neck.

"You're awake," I say softly while laughing. I play around with his hair as he grips me tighter.

"Mmhm..." he hums before laying a soft kiss on my collarbone. I giggle as I let my hands explore his back. It's muscular, just as I had thought.

Zach pulls me against him, trying to get me closer to him. I didn't even know I could be this close to someone.

"You smell so good, baby," he murmurs in his raspy voice as a smile stretches across my lips. He places another kiss against my collarbone. I can't help but let my cheeks flush.

"Thanks. You don't smell too bad yourself." Zach chuckles as his lifts his head to look at me. I laugh at him as his blows his breath into my face. Minty. He looks at me as if he proved a point. "Shut up," I murmur playfully.

He lays a soft kiss against my lips as his hands grip my thighs. It sends the weirdest feeling all around my body but I don't mind it; it feels good. He bites my bottom lip before settling back to look at me.

"Not that I want to rush you, but please make your decision. I want to be able to do this every day without you being guilty or some shit," Zach mutters. I nod, my heart tightening.

As much as I want to be with Zach, I don't want to hurt Tristan. But I can't keep going behind his back like this. I know it's a terrible thing to do. I feel gross just thinking about it.

"Okay," I say aloud.

I let my lips brush up against his. Zach growls against me and connects the kiss. I laugh into his lips and let him hold me against him.

"I wish we could just spend the whole summer like this," he whispers.

"I know. So do I."
