Description: this is just a story that i came up with months ago and have been trying to write it down ever since.

Chapter #3
(next morning. Logan's pov)
" Logan?", mumbles Zoey sleepily from my side. I glance down at her with a smile. I've been up for a while now. And I've just been laying here and watching her sleep. Its funny too, every once in a while she'll talk in her sleep. Kind of like now. I wonder if i should tell her about this or not. She probably wouldn't believe me even if i did.
" I'm still right here Zoe.", i assure as she hugs onto me lightly. Placing a soft kiss on her forehead, i wrap her in my arms. Why does this feel so right? Oh, thats right. Because it is. It has to be. Zoe fits against me like a puzzle piece. That can't just be coincidental. Is she falling for me, like i have for her?
" oh...ok.", yawns Zoey with a tired smirk. She nuzzles in closer to me. Her hands cold against my bare chest. Taking her hand in mine, i place light kisses on it. This earns a glance from a bewildered Zoey. I sigh in relief as she doesn't try to move from my embrace. Huh, maybe she doesn't hate me as much as she lets on.
" is everything alright Zoe?", i question in a low voice. I wish that i knew what she were thinking. She's so hard to read sometimes. And it doesn't help that i really want to kiss her right now. But I'm not so sure thats the best idea. It might earn me a slap for all i know. I'm still not sure if Zoey likes me. But she can't hate me, you don't cuddle with someone you hate.
Curling up beside me, Zoey hugs my chest. Burying her face into my shoulder, she snuggles closer to me," if it weren't, it sure is now."
" its still coming down pretty hard outside.", i point out as a loud clap of thunder sounds above us. It must have scared Zoey. She's hidden safely under the covers at my side. I try my best not to chuckle at her. Instead, i pull the covers over my head and decide to hide with her.
" i know, this storm just refuses to let up Logan. And not only that, the power went out as well.", complains Zoey as she moves in closer to me. I smile at how close we are. If there were a god, he'd sound another loud clap of thunder and send her right into my arms where she's supposed to be.
" thats why its so dark out?", i grumble into her ear. As another strike of thunder sounds, Zoey dives into my arms. I groan as she nearly knees me in the family jewels. Oh man, that would have hurt. With a sigh, i watch as she squirms in my arms in attempts to become comfortable. Zoe really needs to stop moving, she's slowly killing me with each wiggle.
" thats why its so dark outside Logan.", confides Zoey as she finally settles down between my legs. Closing my eyes, i desperately try not to think about how good she feels against me. Not to mention the compromising position that we're currently in. I'm not going to dare mention this to her. Truth be told, I'm not all that uncomfortable with her on me like this.
Wrapping my arms around Zoey once more, i nudge my face into the crook of her neck. Smiling at the feel of her against me, i whisper into her ear," did you sleep alright last night Zoey?"
" not entirely no. I'm just going to stay in bed today.", confesses Zoey through yet another yawn. She really looks tired. The storm probably kept her up most of the night. I wonder what she's so afraid of. Is it just the sound of thunder and lightening? Or is there something else to it? I decide not to question it. Having her in my arms is certainly worth it.
" sounds like a plan, I'm in.", i joke playfully before tickling her sides. This causes her to laugh. Its the first time she's laughed in a day or so. She looks beautiful when she's laughing. Hell, she's beautiful period. She always has been. I can see why chase is attracted to her. I'd be lying if i said that i weren't.
" cool...hey, Logan?", asks Zoey after a minute or so of silence. I stare down at her quietly. She looks as though she wants to say something but isn't quiet sure if she should. Taking both of her hands in mine, i give them a light squeeze. This seems to calm her, as she looks up at me now.
" yeah Zoe?", i gently prod as i urge her to go on. It takes her another minute to compose herself, so i wait patiently. Glancing up at me once again, she smirks at me happily. I return the gesture as she now hugs my arm. And i can't help but think how well we've been getting along. Just last night we were at each others throats. And now? ...Well, look at us.
Tilting her head up, Zoey pecks at my chin. Taken by surprise when our lips meet briefly, i watch as she blushes bright red," thanks for not being a total jerk...you're really sweet."
" well, i can be a nice guy you know. I'm not always a jerk Zoe.", i point out playfully. And its true, I'm not. I'm only really a jerk towards Zoey to hide the fact that i like...maybe even love her so much. I know, who would have thought. Could i really love Zoey though? One look down at her, and i know the answer to this. I could. And i more then likely do.
" yeah, yeah i guess maybe your not Logan. You do have your moments.", teases Zoey with a light chuckle. Frowning to myself, i tickle her sides gently. Oops, maybe that wasn't my brightest idea. Now she's squirming around, and thats never a good thing. Especially with a hot girl on your lap. Ok, i really hope she didn't feel that.
" what do you say that we call a truce Zoe?", i question as we both settle down once more. Truth be told, i don't want to spend this entire week arguing with Zoey. No, I'd much rather use this time alone to get closer to her. Maybe if i could show her that I'm not such a bad guy, she'll fall for me like i have for her. Its worth a try at least isn't? Its not like Chase will ever make his move anytime soon.
" I'm all for that Logan. I'm so tired of the two of us arguing. Why couldn't we just be friends?", asks Zoey as she glances up at me. We could be. But I'd much rather be your boyfriend, i think to myself. And i would. I'd kill to be able to just kiss her whenever i wanted to, and not worry about getting slapped. In fact...i kind want to kiss her right now.
Taking a risk, i press my lips against zoey's once more. Relieved when she doesn't slap me, i frown as i hear a buzzing sound coming from beside Zoey," what is that noise Zoe?"
(zoey's pov)
" its just my cell phone Logan. Its Chase...hello?", i answer kind of groggily. It might be nearly ten in the morning, but i hardly slept last night. So I'm still very tired. In fact if Chase hadn't of called? I probably would have gone back to sleep. Still tasting the feel of Logan's lips on mine from only a few seconds before, i try to ignore the sudden butterflies feeling in my stomach.
" Zoey? Hey, come on outside already. Will you?", calls Chase from the other side of my cell phone. He honestly wants me to go outside? Does he not know that its pouring rain out? I'll become soaked in no time! Not to mention I'll get cold too. Its California, and its mid spring. How was i to know that it would choose this week to pour down rain? Its not as though i packed a coat or anything.
" do i have to Chase? Its raining really hard outside. ...Wait, you're here?", i shriek excitedly into the phone. This causes Logan and I'm sure Chase as well to cringe. But i can't help it. Chase is finally here! And I've only been waiting to see him ever since we went on spring break in the first place. I've missed him since the day we left. But i finally get to see him again! Its hard for me not to get excited!
" I'm here Zoe. I'm drenched from the rain...and a little tired from the car ride. But I'm here none the less. So come on, get down here already.", commands Chase in his most stern voice. I grin as i hear him chuckle on the other end of the phone. Jumping out of bed, i grab my shoes and a sweat shirt that Chase once gave me.
" thats great Chase! I'll be right down. Chase is here Logan!", i squeal happily as i slip the hooded sweat shirt over my head. Quickly tying my shoes, i comb out my hair and put on some lip gloss. I'm going to need it with on the kisses I'm going to leave on Chase's cheek. I can't believe my best friend is finally back!
" yeah, so i heard Zoe. You only screamed it in my ear.", reminds Logan in a gruff tone. Glancing back at him, i raise an eyebrow. Whats his problem? And why isn't he getting up to come with me? Isn't he glad that Chase is back? I'm not sure, but i could have sworn that there was a hint of jealousy in his voice. But i have to be mistaken. Why would Logan be jealous of Chase? ...It doesn't matter, what matters is that Chase is back. And when i see him? I'm going to shower him with kisses! ...
