ROSS' POV

i was happy that i had a hot girl to have fun with during quarantine, but the fact that we couldn't leave just freaked me the fuck out. we were being forced to stay in the same place, and in my case, with a stranger. a hot stranger, but a stranger nonetheless.

i looked at zoe. she was staring at the tv, spacing out. i felt bad that i caused her to stay here. i still didn't know how though. i looked at the kitchen to where she last had her phone with her. it was on the counter.

"i'm going to go get a drink, do you want anything?" i asked. she didn't respond.

"zoe? you good? need anything?" i asked again. she shook her head no to the second question.

i walked into the kitchen, grabbed zoe's phone and some water, and walked into the bathroom. i shut and locked the door.

i unlocked zoe's phone using the same passcode as before, and once again it worked. i read the messages between her and ava. this is all my fault. if i wouldn't have invited her in, she could still be with her friend. fuckkk. i feel like shit. i honestly only invited her in to fuck. this is way more than i bargained for...

i knew that i had to apologize, and i walked out of the bathroom, put her phone back on the counter, and walked to the couch to see that zoe was not there.

"BOO!" i heard a yell from behind me and i jumped a little.

"you're easy to scare." she stated, proud of herself.

"and i bet you're easy to make scream" i grinned.

zoe ignored me and continued, "let's play a gameee, i wanna have fun." she whined.

"like spin the bottle?" i questioned. "or maybe seven minutes in heaven?" i continued.

"shut up, don't be a creep. what about hide and seek? i call dibs on hiding while you count in the bathroom. you have to count to 50." she explained with a smile on her face. i noticed how pretty her smile was.

"sounds good to me." i said while walking to the bathroom. "good luck, i know this place like the back of my hand."

"so do i, our apartments have the same lay out, dumbass" she remarked.

once i was done counting, i opened the bathroom door and began looking around. i looked in the obvious places, like behind the couch, behind curtains, and in the closet. i was unsuccessful.

the last place i had to check was in my room.

i walked in, the lights were off, but the moonlight shone through the window providing me enough light to see that zoe was laying in my bed, with my shirt on, and seemingly asleep.
