Zoë's POV

My eyes flutter open, and I feel a comforting presence beside me. Well not exactly beside me, more like under me.

Somehow in the middle of the night, Michael and I had worked our way closer and closer to each other. Now that I'm awake, I notice that our legs are tangled together and my head is snuggled into his chest. He has his arms wrapped tightly around my torso, and his face is burrowed into my hair.

*sniff, sniff, meow*

I feel Shadow balancing his way up my leg. When he finally makes it up to where Michael has me in a cuddly death grip, he tries to get in between us two. After some failed attempts, he gives up and waddles up to Michael's face. He licks his forehead and soon Michael begins to stir.

"Good morning buddy." He says in a sexy morning voice, making me giggle. It sounded so much different from his normal voice, but I liked it.

"Oh hey Zoe - oh god!" He says seeing the position we were in.

He has a mini freak out and quickly untangles us from our sleeping position. I chuckle at his nervousness.

It's not like we did anything, it was just friendly snuggling. I did it all the time with my old friends back in my home town.

"Relax, Mikey." I say still amused at his wide eyed expression.

"I'm sorry. How did that happen?" He asks, pulling the covers he had just strewn about back over his naked upper body.

"Do I really have to explain how friendly snuggling works? Well you see Michael, when we both move around a lot in the middle of the night, it's really hard to stay to one side of the bed. Eventually, we find each others warmth and snuggle up to it. It's really not that difficult." I explain, being a smart ass.

He gives me a dirty look before going back to playing with his kitty. I can still see something else hidden in his face but I don't say anything about it.

I pull the covers back over to me which causes them to slip off of Michael again.

"Hey!" He yells trying to take the red blanket back, but I keep my tight hold on it.

"No! It's mine mine now. The only way you can have some is if you come back over here and snuggle with me more." I yell back, still holding on tightly to the blanket.

He groans but nevertheless climbs back over wraps his arms, loosely this time, around my torso. I throw the blanket up so it is also covering him now.

"I don't want to get up." I moan, thinking of how we should probably be getting ready for the day since it was probably around 12pm.

"Then don't. We don't have to go anywhere yet." He says quietly.

We lay in silence for the next ten minutes before I begin to feel tired again.

"Hey M.C., I'm back - Oh, uh, sorry dude. Didn't know you had company." Someone says rushing back out of the room causing the door to slam closed.

"Who the fuck was that?" I asked alarmed that someone had just possibly broken into Michael's house. Then again he did call him by a nickname, so it probably wasn't a burglar.

"That would be Ashton, my roommate." He says getting out of bed.

Oh yeah, I forgot he had a roommate.

I follow Michael's actions by getting out of bed. I walk into the bathroom to change while Michael just changes in his room. I throw on a plain white t-shirt and some black skinny jeans.
