hidden

Chapter 8

Zoe's POV

I woke up that morning with the sun shining in my face and a weight holding me down by my waist. I turned my head to the side to see Micheal's head right by my face. His hair was all over the place and all in all it was a pretty cute site to see. I guess I had been starring at him for a while because I didn't even realize he had opened his eyes and was looking right at me.
"Good Morning beautiful" Michael said with a little smirk on his face

"Good Morning" I said with a beep blush creeping up to my cheeks

"So do you like do this all the time stare at people in their sleep" Michael asked with that smirk never leaving his face

"No it was just......Your hair.....ughh you are an asshole in the morning" I said hiding my face in his chest

I stayed like that for a while inhaling his scent until I felt a finger lift up my chin to look at him.

"Well I may be an asshole in the morning but you my dear are very pretty in the mornings." He said looking me strait in the eyes the hole time

"Well I should be heading home. I still have a few boxes to unpack and I need to get some food because my fridge is quite empty" I said getting up out of Michaels grip. I grabbed my clothes from yesterday and headed to the bathroom to change. When I was changed I looked in the mirror and about had a heart attack. My hair was all over the place, I had bags under my eyes, my hair looked like a rats nest and all together I looked like I got hit by a train. I walked out of the bathroom noticing Michael is not in the bed anymore so I go out to the living room but still can't find him, so I walk into the kitchen and see Michael with his back to me. Me being myself decided to scare him so I snuck behind a chair at the table and crouched behind it waiting for him to turn around. When he did I let out the highest pitched scream I could possibly go. I don't think I had ever seen somebody jump so high off the ground that I couldn't stop myself from bursting out laughing. Once he realized it was me he started to walk towards pretty fast. I ran out the kitchen and into the living room with him right behind me, so I kept going and ran back into the bed room but before I could get to the door I felt to muscular arms wrap around my waist and lift me off the ground. I couldn't help but laugh harder not even noticing that he was setting me onto the bed and straddling my hips.

"Would you like to explain why you scared me like that beab" he asked me right beside my ear, his breath tickling my skin.

"Well you did have your back to me and I haven't scared anybody like that in a long time. I guess you were just the unlucky one this time." I said still laughing about earlier

"Wow that was a terrible excuse you could.............." he got cut off by somebody yelling his name and footsteps in the hallway.

"This isn't over" he said getting off of me and walking towards the door.

"Wait!" I yelled before he walked out the door

"Yes" he asked turning back around

"Do you have any ponytails or hair ties" I asked sheepishly

"Third drawer to the left" he said walking out and closing the door.

"Thank you" I called after him. I went i. His bathroom and the whole drawer was full of different types of hair ties. It was a pretty scary sight for a mans bathroom but oh well. I put my hair up into a bun and walked out of the room following the voices into the kitchen. I walked in and say Michael and another boy with beautiful green eyes and dark brown curly hair kinda like mine hbut shorter. They both looked up when I walked in and smiled

"Harry this is Zoe, Peyton's cousin. Zoe this is Harry my little brother" Michael said introducing us

"Sup Zoe" he said giving me a wide smile.

I gave Harry a small nod then looked over to Michael because I didn't know what else to say.

"So Zoe have you heard from Peyton yet today" Michael asked me

"No not today but it is only 10 in the morning so she is still probably asleep" I said shaking my thinking of how late she would sleep at my house when we were younger.

"Oh ok. Harry would you be ok staying here while I take Zoe home." Michael asked Harry

"Yeah I'll be good don't worry I won't touch your beloved stuff" Harry said laughing and with that he got up and left the kitchen.

"You don't have to take me home" I said sitting where Harry was just at.

"Well I want to." he said getting up and walking out of the kitchen

*Skip to Michael and Zoe at Zoe's aparment*

"Ok then. So it's pretty messy so don't get scared and run away ok" I told Michael with the most serious face ever

"Don't worry I won't I'm a big boy" he said while he tried to make him self taller and more buff which only led me to just start laughing at him because he failed miserably.

"Why are you laughing at me" he asked pouting

"You just wouldn't understand" I said giggling and walking the rest of the way to the apartment buildings

We got on the elevator and went to the 8 floor. My room was at the very end of the the hall we had quit a walk down but we finally got to aparment 398. I unlocked the door and walked in with Michael ttrailing right behide me. He didn't even seem fazed by any of the mess unlike me who was having a mental freak out because I didnt know where anything is.

"So where shoud we start" Michael asked scaring me out of my thoughts.

"Ummm.......how about the kitchen." I asked hoping he would say yes because i cant reach the top cabnets that good.

"Sure lets get started" and with that we set to work on putting boxs in the kitchen and putting stuff in the cabnets
