Runny noses aren't always bad

It was 6am, and just like the day before, many alarm clocks were heard all through the 7th floor of the Little America Hotel in Salt Lake City. Once again, only one was not turned off.

The whole cast met downstairs in the Lobby. Ashley noticed there was something missing, but this time she quickly realized that it was Vanessa. She assumed that her best friend was still sick so she decided to go check up on her, just to make sure she was alright.

Ashley opened the door to Vanessa's room and tiptoed to the bed in order to make as little noise as possible. As she neared the bead, she was surprised to see two bodies soundly sleeping, instead of just one. She smiled at the sight of her two best friends wrapped around each other and approached the side of the bed where Zac was, so she could wake him up. As much as she liked the sight of Zac and Vanessa together, she knew that if Zac missed another day of work, Kenny would not be happy. As if on cue, Zac began coughing, followed by Vanessa. Ashley smiled, turned around and went to the door. She turned back, quickly wrote them a note on a hotel notepad that was on the night stand, and went out the door. 'They're so cute!'

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she took out her phone and dialed Kenny's number.

"Hi Kenny! It's Ashley!...listen, Zac caught Vanessa's cold…I don't know how…no she's still sick…well is it okay if they both stay in bed today?...Thanks Kenny!" Ashley hung up the phone, put it back into her purse and got into the elevator. As she arrived at the lobby, she came out of the elevator, and went up to the group.

"Hey guys… it seems like our dear Zac has caught Nessa's cold" She said.

"How did he manage to do that?" Lucas suspiciously asked.

"I don't know, I guess since he spent the whole day with her, it would have been a miracle if he hadn't caught it." Ashley answered.

"Well I hope he gets better soon, but if we don't leave right now, we are going to be late. AGAIN!" Monique said.

"Alright, let's go" Ryne added.

They all gathered up their things and made their way to the front doors of the hotel, but Olesya stopped in her tracks.

"Hey guys" she shouted to the group. "Where is Corbin?"

"Oh, Kenny made him stay today. He said that since he wasn't filming, he was just becoming a big distraction to everyone's work so he's not allowed to come to the set today" Lucas said. Everyone laughed knowingly at the comment while making their way out of the hotel.

Meanwhile, in Vanessa's room, Zac felt himself waking up. He opened his eyes but rapidly shut them. He had a huge headache, and his nose felt like it was about to erupt. He slowly opened his eyes and groaned. He felt lousy. He looked to his side and saw Vanessa soundly asleep. For a moment he felt better. 'I'm glad she didn't get a higher fever' Last night had been the best night of his life, heck, the whole day had been the best of his life. He couldn't believe they he had actually confessed his feelings for her and much less that she had felt the same way he did. Truthfully, he had planned to do it at one point of the day. For that reason, he had bought her the flowers when he went to buy her the other things. Even though the day hadn't gone exactly as he had planned it, it had still been perfect. He managed to make Vanessa feel better and he had made himself feel better by expressing his feelings for her. Without a doubt, he was the luckiest guy on earth.

He moved his arm from around her and she began to stir. Slowly, she opened her eyes, looked at him, smiled, and changer her expression to one of worry.

"What happened to you?" She asked groggily.

"What do you mean?" he asked, similarly to her, while rubbing his eyes.

"Your nose is even redder than mine. How do you feel?"

"I feel great"

She raised an eyebrow and looked at him like she didn't believe what he had said. He took notice that she had not believed him.

"Fine, I feel lousy" he confessed.

"So you're telling me that I avoided getting you sick yesterday, and you still did?" she asked frustrated.

"I guess… Man this sucks" He said and sighed.

"Tell me about it" she rolled her eyes and looked at him. They both frowned.

"I can't believe it. We could have had a make out party yesterday, and we didn't, just to avoid something that apparently was inevitable." Zac said, kind of mad.

"Who says I wanted to make out with you?" Vanessa asked seriously.

Zac looked at her apologetically. "I'm sorry I just assum.." He was cut off by Vanessa.

"Zac I was just kidding" She said.

Zac laughed. "You scared me there for a minute, I thought that weird medicine had made you delirious yesterday and made you say all those things" Zac said.

"Nah. I was completely honest" She said and smiled.

"Ughh, still, I can't believe it… I'm sick."

"Yeah" Vanessa said, looking down and frowning.

"Well, on the bright side, at least we get to spend the whole day together again" Zac smiled hopefully. Vanessa looked up and grinned.

"I guess this doesn't suck at all!"

"No it doesn't" He said.

Zac looked at her and smiled. He scooted closer to her and sat up. She mirrored his actions. They both began to lean in. 'This is it, there's nothing holding us back now' 'Finally, he's already sick so there is nothing coming between us' They closed their eyes, and Zac covered her lips with his in one swift move.

A/N: hey everyone! Sorry I took so long with this chapter but I was kind of busy today. I'll update as soon as I can, thanks for all the reviews and to everyone who wished me good luck on college. This isn't the last you'll see of me on fanfiction but for now, while I get adjusted, I don't think I'll be writing anything, unless I get bored on the plane. Im glad you all like my story and I hope in the future, you'll respond the same way to my other stories. Until next time!
