Hello!
Well, I'm not going to ruin it for you, but I'm going to just say that this chapter might have some actual Zailey for the first time!

I think I'm going to really need some feedback on this chapter though, since I wrote it at about 3AM, and it probably makes next to no sense... (:
One thing as well, warrior-of-water, I'm just going to clear it up that the whole virus thing is just because I needed to somehow get them both in the same room for a while (:
Zaddie-Mad, enjoy your cyber cookies *passes you them*
Anyway, read, enjoy, review if you want!

For all her careful time managing during the day, Zack was surprised to find out that he'd actually woken before Her. Surprised and slightly curious, for it was the first time he'd ever slept with a girl, even if it was in the loosest of terms, he studied Her sleeping presence. She was pretty in the early morning light, and Her face seemed to glow warmly in the rising sun. Her increased appearance, however, was not the reason he was watching Her. He couldn't exactly look away, because of the way they were curled up together. Yes, for this once, there didn't seem to be any way he could think of Her darkly. Maybe it was the innocence that radiated from Her face as she slept, or maybe the slight smile that graced Her lips as she dreamed about something unknown (and probably Cody-related). Maybe though, just maybe, he couldn't think of Her in a negative way because she was currently so close to him, with Her head nestled into the crook of his neck and the sweet coconut scent of Her hair wafting towards him with every minute movement. It had felt entirely natural, whilst he was still half-asleep, to wrap his arms around Her waist to increase his own comfort. Now though, he was beginning to feel awkward, but he knew full well that moving would probably wake Her and she'd, of course, freak out at their close proximity. So he was stuck.
With his brother's girlfriend in his arms.
Being forced to smell Her hair.
And for some reason noticing how nice she looked.
A natural beauty, that was truly the only way to describe Her appearance; Whilst Zack wasn't against going after the hot girls who slathered themselves in make-up and wore outfits that were barely there, he appreciated a girl like Bailey, who didn't need to make an effort with how she looked.
But Her hair, however nice-smelling, was definitely fluffy in a morning. He had to seriously try and stop himself from sneezing.

Thunder crashed outside the window of the suite, and Zack knew what to expect. Instinctively, the minute he heard the first rumble of thunder in the distance, he'd moved to the edge of his bed, leaving enough room for Cody to crawl in.
It was inevitable, really. For all his knowledge of the likelihood of getting hurt during a storm, Cody remained terrified of them and even now, despite being 14; still felt the need to share a bed with Zack whenever a storm threatened. Not that Zack minded – he liked that Cody still needed him. It was taking him a while to come over though, the storm had already been going for at least 5 minutes, and it was beginning to rage.
'Must be trying to get over being scared' Zack thought.
Six minutes passed.
Seven minutes.
Eight minutes...
"I'm sorry" Cody whispered as he climbed into Zack's bed, succumbing at last.

"It's fine, bro, now get some sleep" Zack whispered back, already nearly asleep

The storm had blown itself out of existence by the next morning and, for once, Zack was awake first. And Cody's hair was shoved in his face. It was soft, and smelt like vanilla, but it tickled him something chronic. He wasn't trying to not sneeze, and he did.
Right into Cody's face.
Accidentally, of course.
But... Cody had evidentially forgotten that he'd slept in Zack's bed, because he obviously wasn't expecting to find anyone next to him. As his eyes shot open, he screamed as he saw Zack and, trying to get out of bed as quickly as possible, tangled his legs in the sheets and crashed to the floor.
Zack could barely breathe for laughing.

He couldn't help but shake with repressed laughter at the memory of normally-pin-neat Cody lying on the floor, covered in bedding. The gentle shaking, however, was apparently enough to bring Her to a state of near-consciousness. Her lilac-tinted eyelids flickered, Her hair tickling his face as she moved Her head up, but Her eyes remained half-shut.
"Momma, I don't wanna wake up yet" She muttered, bringing an arm up to rub Her eyes.
"Bailey?" Zack questioned, his voice cracking slightly from first-time usage that morning.
Her eyes opened some more, but the cinnamon-hued irises didn't seem to be focussing on anything. Blinking a few times, she smiled, looking suddenly oddly impish.
"Good morning" She smiled, eyes closing again.
She stretched out slowly, and he could feel every muscle uncurl itself, and every joint crack. It wasn't gross though, as he became quickly dumbfounded by how strongly built she felt against him, for such a slender girl.
Her smile grew wider, and she leant up on Her arms, facing towards Zack with Her eyes still shut. Half opening them, she leant forward and kissed him gently, sweetly, on the lips. The kiss lasted no longer than 5 seconds before she pulled back, still smiling
"How'd you sleep, Cod-" She froze, mid-sentence, as Her vision finally cleared "Zack?" she squealed, ripping herself from his arms, and standing in front of Her own bed.
"What are you doing in my..." Realisation dawned on her face and, without another word, she all but ran into the bathroom.
Zack slumped back onto Her pillows, inhaling Her scent, and trying to figure out why his heart was racing and his lips were tingling.

Ooh, don't hate me for leaving you on a cliffhanger!
I reckon this chapter is pretty much crying out for reviews, so please and thank you if you do (:
And I'll be updating the second half of the day super soon!
Hugs and ice-cream (your favourite flavour) for all readers!
