I woke up to the sound of someone opening my dorm door. Slowly opening my eyes, my vision is a bit blurry as I get used to the light. I sit myself up properly to see Zane placing a tray of food on the table. He places his phone and keys down, he turns to face me. Well, I'm gonna get in trouble and not just for not going to class, but also for not eating all day.

"Would you like to tell me why you weren't in class today?" He questioned me moving towards me slowly. I'm kinda debating with myself if I should tell him the truth or not. If I do tell him the truth he'll most obviously get involved and report her which will make things worse in my opinion. But if I don't tell him he'll find out some other way.

I take a deep breath then exhale that breath. I decided to tell him. I tell him everything about how I didn't wake up to how some girl spilled a strawberry milkshake all over me and how it really ruined my whole day. I also told him I was hungry because I hadn't eaten all day. I stand up and tilt my head a bit so I can see his eyes. He nods at me slightly then cups my face with his hands. "I'm sorry this happen to you...I should have been here for you...instead, I left this is all my fault and-" before he could say anything I cut him off by smashing my lips into his.

I could feel him melt into my lips just as I was with him. His hands wandered down my body down to my hips. He grabs me firmly and dominates me in the kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and feeling his hair. I opened my mouth to let his tongue in waiting impatiently to come in. As soon as I do open my mouth both of our tongues dance around with each other. His lips on mine felt like pure bliss. I got butterflies in my stomach. I'm actually kissing him...his lips on mine. So warm and so soft next to one another. I feel like I want more, but I know that might not happen...

After a good minute, we break up the kiss. My face is red as a cherry, he has a big grin on his face. I still feel as if my stomach is filled up with butterflies. "You were talking a lot...and non of this was your fault." He looks at me and caresses my face. We don't say anything to each other we just stay here comfortable with each other's gaze.

"You said you were hungry right...? I brought you food so you could eat..." He broke our silence. I nod at him and he leads me to the table. We sit down and he slides my food towards me. I say a simple thank you. He watches me as I eat my food until he speaks up.

"So what are you doing this winter break?" I look up at him and think before speaking. "I was just going to go to my parent's house maybe or staying here, I'm not really sure," I say taking a quick sip from my drink. He subtly bites down on his lower lip.

He nods at me, I ask him what he's going to do. "I'm not sure maybe I'll go home too, or go to my family's cabin up in the mountains with Elijah and Alex. It always looks nice around this time," I nod and take another bite of my food.

The rest of the time was quiet. It was a nice quiet thought, we just sat there in the silence as I ate my food. My mind just keeps replaying and replaying our kiss from just a couple of minutes ago. After I was done with my food I pushed the food away showing I was done. He takes my trash and throws it away.

He picks me up from my chair gently, "Come on little one let's get you a shower". We go to the bathroom and he sets me down. He goes over to the shower and turns on the hot water making sure it's a good temperature so I won't get burned. I stand there fiddling with my thumbs my mind still a bit clouded.

"You can hop in now, I'm going to get you your pajamas" He left the bathroom not shutting the door behind him. I undress and hop into the shower. I scrub my body and wash my hair. As soon as I'm done Zane is there handing me a towel. I dry myself and put on my pajamas. I quickly brush my teeth.

I take his hand and he smiles at me. He leads me to my bedroom and turns on the light. I go over to my bed and get on it waiting for him to tuck me in. He comes to my bed and begins to tuck me in. I felt lonely in this bed all alone, with no one next to me. Zane does the same things he always does turn off the light but keep my night light on.

As he was about to close the door I speak up, "Wait..." he stops in his tracks and looks at me confused. "Can...can you stay here with me...?" I question my face burning up with embarrassment. What if he says no and I just embarrassed myself? Or what if he stays here just because he feels pity for me.

He looks at me for a second as if I just didn't say what I just said, "Oh...? Um yeah let me just go back to my dorm and get something more comfortable to wear" I nod at him and he turns my light back on and leaves my door open.

He leaves my room and exits my dorm. What if he didn't want to stay here with me and now he feels forced to stay with me? Stop questioning yourself Carmen, if he didn't want to stay here with you he would have simply declined your offer. I take a deep breath in and exhale out trying to calm myself down.

After a moment Zane comes back wearing, grey sweatpants and a red hoodie. I read the logo on his hoodie, "CEASELESS ARMY" circled around six gaming avatars. Liam's, Rosie's, Natalie's, Nick's, Jayson's, and mine. Wait HUH!?!

That's my logo, my gaming logo, the logo most people know me as in the gaming content community. Circled around my friends and my gaming avatars. My eyes widen a little bit. Is he one of my fans...? I mean that would be cool but still.

"Where did you get that hoodie at...it's really nice," I say as he turns off the bedroom light and coming to lay next to me on my covers. "Oh, Elijah got one for everyone when it was Alex's birthday because he wanted some streamer as his birthday party theme. It was cute he forced us all to watch her streams and videos. He was so enchanted by them and happy we all wore her merch too," He chuckles a little as he got comfortable.

Of course, it was Alex. He never ceases to amaze me. I start to feel a bit sleepy. I somehow find the courage in me and move closer to Zane. I rest my head on his chest and hear his heartbeat. It was very comfortable. Feeling his chest go up and down. Zane wraps his arm around me, holding me closer to him.

He begins to play with my hair, "Your hair is really soft..." I giggle a little starting to feel my eyelids get heavier. He gives me head scratches and this finally makes me fall asleep. The last thing I heard and felt was a kiss on my forehead from Zane and him saying, "Goodnight Carmen...sweet dreams my angel."
