ding.

y/n opened her eyes, squinting slightly at  the brightness entering through the curtains. she yawned, rubbing the  sleepiness out of her vision before blindly reaching out for her phone.  it took a few tries, but she finally was able to locate the device and  turn it on. she looked at her latest notification, seeing that it was a  message from christina, corbyn's girlfriend.

christina: hey babe! i know you're forgetful, so i just wanted to remind you about brunch today! can't wait to see you <3

y/n: you know me too well. i'll see you soon babe! love ya <3

y/n sent the message, stretching slightly before attempting to get out of bed. emphasis on attempted.

zach's  arm was wrapped tightly around her waist, making any pursuit of leaving  his grip nearly impossible. y/n huffed in annoyance as she tried for  the umpteenth time to escape his embrace, but to no avail.

"y'know  babe, i'm never gonna let you leave this bed now," y/n nearly shrieked  in surprise at the groggy voice of her boyfriend speaking into her ear.

"babe  i have to meet christina in an hour for brunch, i gotta get ready," y/n  tried once again to wriggle out of his grasp, only to be pulled in  tighter.

"she's visiting here for the whole week, i wanna stay in bed with  you," his grip loosened slightly, giving y/n enough room to turn around  and face him.

"exactly, she's here only for a week. i haven't seen  christina in such a long time, c'mon babe," she finally broke out of  his clutches, swinging her legs over the side of the bed to stand up.

"no,"  zach carried out the "o", making y/n roll her eyes. zach sat up,  wrapping his arms around y/n's waist from behind. he began to place  light kisses along her neck, trying to convince her to stay in bed. she  sighed in content, involuntarily leaning into his body at the sensation. just as zach  thought he had won, y/n snapped out of her trance.

"as much as  i love this, i have to get ready now." zach groaned, pulling her  closer. she laughed, breaking out of his grip once again and standing  up.

"baby please, just stay with me. five more minutes?" he gave her his best  puppy-dog eyes, his chocolate brown orbs making y/n's heart melt. she  sighed and leaned down to place a kiss on his rosy cheek, staring  straight into his eyes.

"no zach, i have to get ready," she  turned to walk to the bathroom, but zach reached out just in time and  caught her wrist, making her groan and turn back around. he shot her  another heart melting pout, making her sigh.

"if you let me go to brunch, i'll buy you chipotle," she bargained, making zach pause and contemplate her proposal.

"deal,"  zach replied, finally letting y/n go. she got ready for brunch in  record time, seeing that trying to get zach to even let her out of bed  took far too much time.

"bye babe," y/n called out, picking up her purse and opening the bedroom door to leave.

"aren't  you forgetting something?" zach spoke back from the bed, making y/n  shake her head and smile. she turned around, going over to where zach  still sat on the bed and pressed a kiss to his lips, smiling at the warm  feeling it sent down her body. her heart fluttered as she pulled away,  walking back to the door.

"thank you, now go have fun with christina, baby. i love you, and don't forget my chipotle,"

"i wouldn't dream of it."
