Born in prison, in love with a cliché.

I wake up to somebody moving when I realize it's Zach. When I wake up a little more I can hear a phone going off. Still too tired to open my eyes I listen to Zach. It sounds like he grabs the phone and walks out of the bedroom. Then I hear his muted voice through the walls and he doesn't sound happy. I can't make out exactly what he's saying but it isn't good, I can tell that much.

After a few minutes, he comes back and I keep my eyes shut. Instead of coming back to bed, I can hear him carefully fumble around and curse softly under his breath. A little later he leaves the bedroom again and after that, I hear the front door open and close.

I jump up and after a few seconds of silence, I realize he left the apartment. I turn on the light and look around for clues, but I can't find anything. Then I get a glance at the clock and I look shocked at the time.

It's 3 A.M. Who the hell needs him at this hour? I step out of bed and walk in the kitchen. I look around the empty apartment and sigh. I plop down on the couch and look outside. It's a full moon so it isn't that dark outside. I rub my face and try to think about scenarios that made him leave like that. I try to stay awake but instead wake up to Zach calling for me after closing my eyes a little too long.

"Gather, what the hell are you doing?" He asks me and I look at him for a moment before I realize what I was doing. I look around me and then back at Zach. "What time is it?" I ask and he sighs. "It's 5 A.M.." He walks away from me. "Oh well, sorry if I was a little concerned about where you were," I say sarcastically and walk back to his bedroom.

"What are you doing?" He asks and without looking at him I crawl back in his bed. "I'm going to sleep. I have work at nine, so I have another hour or so before I actually have to wake up." I tell him and close my eyes. I hear him close the bedroom door and the next moment I feel him yanking the covers away from me. I immediately shoot up with my eyes wide in shock.

He's about to say something but get's distracted by something. "You're not wearing any underwear?" He says shocked and I quickly sit up straight, realizing my shirt didn't cover my butt anymore.

"Give me back the sheets dammit," I tell him and reach for them. He pulls them closer to him and I miss. "I've been sleeping this whole night with you while you weren't even wearing any underwear?" He asks to be sure and I laugh a little. "It's better for my under area, now give me back those sheets," I tell him with a little blush on my cheeks.

"Why did you wait for me?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Well, is it really so surprising that I was a little concerned after you left at 3 in the morning?" I ask him and he shakes his head. "Okay, I guess."

"Yeah, you're guessing right," I say and grab back the sheets. I want to ask him where he's been but I can feel he's tired and doesn't want to talk right now. I turn back in a sleeping position and just before I fall in a deep sleep I can feel his strong arms embrace me once again.

I wake up to my alarm clock and quickly slap it off. I want to get up but get held back by weight around my waist. I look down and see Zach's arms around me. A smile creeps up my lips and I carefully get out of his embrace.

I get ready for work and walk to Starbucks. When I get there Clara is already working and I smile at her. "Goodmorning." I greet her and she smiles back. "That party Friday was kinda wild, right?" She begins and I chuckle. "Define wild," I say as I get behind one of the coffee machines and start making my first order. Another guy is taking orders as Clara and I are making them.

"Leo digs you, Davina." She says and I look at her. "What?" And she laughs. "Leo, he likes you. You danced with him that night right?" She asks and I nod. "Yeah, but I was very drunk. I thought I was dancing with someone else." I state and Clara grins towards me. "Oh, somebody you dig?" She asks and I look away blushing.
