Chapter 7.1. Walking to Memory Lane [Part 1]

The sunlight is already poking my eyes. I didn't know I open my window last night. And what is this soft pillow on my bed? I snuggle around it, hugging it as much as possible and leaning on it. But why does my pillow hug me back? I patted it, trying to figure out if it's a real pillow or not.

"You know, you could just open your eyes and see who you are snuggling with?" It talks? Ohmyghad! It talks. I slowly open my eyes and see Zach smirking at me. I immediately jumped out of bed and fixed my posture but he pulled me back and tightened his grip on me. Why did I even hug me back?

"Just one more minute Icy" he informed and pushed me more to him. He closed his eyes and I could smell his minty breath.

"So what do you want to do? It's Saturday" he asked still closing his eyes. This is torture for me. I'm resisting myself, from not touching his brown wavy hair.

"Uhm I don't know. I usually just sleep and watch in my room" I informed. Every weekend, I would watch any teen romance I could see available. New or old. I always watch it with Sam in my room since Netflix is life for both of us.

"You didn't change Icy" he commented. I laugh at his comment. I remember I would always pull him or convince him to watch romance instead of action. It's not that I don't like action movies it's just something too cruel for me to watch with all of the weapons they use and throw at someone then boom it's dead.

"Uhm let's change it up a bit. Can we go to the cafe we used to go to?" he asked. Now he opens his eyes staring at me. Now, I loss for words. I nod and he let go of me.

"Okay, I'll drop you at your place so you can change" he informed me while heading to the bathroom and then closing it.

"What about your clothes?" I shouted probably he couldn't hear me since his already inside

"You can have it" he shouted back. I grin and hug myself.

"Could I at least get some of your hoodies?" I asked again. The door quickly opened only his head popped out and he looked at me questioning. I smile as a response and he breathes out.

"Okay but please don't get the black hoodies" sounded defeated and closed the door again. I smile widely and skip towards his closet. Opening the doors of it and rummaging the whole closet that I found last night. I grab the hoodie I saw. It was a somewhat bluish color with a cloud written on it. It was definitely big for me but I'm loving it. I slid my head and arms to the holes and hug myself only to find a spare hand hugging me from behind. I turn to see who it was and I can see Zach.

Uhm I don't think this deal is fake anymore or maybe I was just hallucinating. Again, we were acting like a newly married couple and this wasn't on the agreement after all.

"Uhm Zach, what are you doing?" I asked

"Hugging you" he coolly responded

"Is being in a fake relationship counted hugging me?" I asked shyly. I mean, isn't a fake relationship don't put too much physical contact to each other unless necessary. It's fake right? So why go too far for physical contact?

He let go of me and turn me to face him. I can see that he was trying to put the puzzle on his words. "I just felt of hugging you Icy. No big deal. Now let's go" and turn his back on me to exit his room. I look at his back walking away and processing what just happen. Did I do something wrong?
