Zach's POV.

"Finally!" I breathe out as I wrapped an arm around Chloe without Snowy interrupting, "See, I told you, ice-cream would do it,"

She says making me sigh, Snowy had a mind of his own and clearly is damn possessive when it comes to Chloe. He had mood swings like a woman during her period, I mean no offense but he was fine until yesterday and the second he noticed us kissing, that was it.

"Either he's in love with you which is crazy because he's a dog or he just wanted treats so he decided on acting like a brat," I say pulling her onto my lap as she rested her head on my naked chest, "Stop calling him a brat. You disappeared for long enough so he gets to be mad at you just like I did,"

"Yeah sure, he was fine the first month and then boom, he suddenly starts interrupting every kiss until he got an ice-cream," letting out a laugh at my complaint, I kiss Chloe's forehead.

"Well the first one month, we didn't really kiss and he was resting on me every single time we were in each other's arms. So, he was just not sure about you and is probably jealous of the amount of attention I'm giving you," she rants finally smiling before grabbing the TV remote and swiping through the channels while I continued to play with her hair.

I can't believe that this amazing best friend of mine is now completely mine, "Zach?"

"Yeah, sugar?" I ask her as she looked up at me and pulled me into a kiss making me smile. Her petite soft hands cup my face, caressing my cheeks as she slides her tongue making me groan as she moves on top of me until her legs were almost around my waist, "Now that Snowy is asleep and won't interrupt us, take me to bed,"

Grinning, I stand up, holding her in place with her legs wrapped around my waist, "This is already the best weekend," I say before kissing her neck while she lets out a giggle, nodding.

Just too perfect and feels too good to be true, like a dream come true.

"Zach! Come here," Chloe pulls me by my arm and I look at Blake on her phone screen, of course, video calling, "I've got no t-shirt on," I whisper reminding Chloe before waving to Blake who's busy glaring at me.

"Well, stand behind me, it's okay and you look hot so I don't see what the problem is," she whispers back making me bite down a smile at her bluntness. Perks of having your best friend as your partner is, there's no filter.

"You better not fuck things up this time around, Russell," Blake says breaking our moment and I just nod, "I won't, I promise."

Chloe's hand finds mine and she pulls it up to rest around her waist with a smile, "So how's Hailey?" she asks her brother, distracting him from me.

"She's doing great and finally back so we've been spending some nice time together," he says with a grin, sure having the person you love makes up for all the fucked up things in life.

Chloe suddenly chokes on her words and slaps a hand, closing my eyes, "Uh, brother? I think I've just seen Hailey walk across, butt naked." I let out a laugh unable to contain it at how awkward she was, "Sorry! We'll talk later!"

Blake hangs up and Chloe sighs before removing her hand off my face. She looks at me laughing and joins in shaking her head, "And you were worried about not having a t-shirt on!"

Smiling, I stand between her legs and kiss her, she wraps her arms around my neck pulling me closer, "I love you,"

"Love you too, sugar," I kiss her forehead, sweeping away the bangs falling over her eyes, "You've got work to get to, so let's have breakfast already," she reminds me making me groan. It's Sunday and I made sure to clear out my schedule but oh well, work calls.

"Do you want to tag along?" I ask her pulling back before heading over to the cabinet to grab some froot loops, my absolute favorite that rubbed off on Chloe too, "Wouldn't I be a distraction?"

She walks over to the fridge to grab the carton of milk and we settle back on the barstool before I started filling both our bowls with milk followed by cereal. There's literally no debating that, milk and then cereal, all the way.

"Absolutely not. I'll just have some time to spend in the kitchen, one video conference and some other files I need to look at before we call it a day so you'd be more like the prize in the end," I wink at her making her widen her eyes before slapping my arm.

"So more like motivation?"

"Call it whatever you want. You'll be lucky if I don't lose it and take you right there with the tease you've been lately," I whisper before she smirks and pecks my lips, "We both hate soggy cereal. Eat!"

I roll my eyes at her with a smile and get back to my bowl of cereal. Snowy makes his way to me before nudging my leg, "Did he track froot loops down now?" I ask Chloe still looking at him before pouring out a few froot loops into my hand.

"Aren't we the froot loops trio now?" She asks giggling while I feed Snowy the cereal in hand, "We sure are," I reply with a small laugh.

"You knew everything Emmett! Why the hell would you take dad's side on this?!" I whisper shout over the video call at my brother, "Well, I didn't? I just said I'm not doing it so I guess that ended up with you being forced into this arrangement,"

I pinch the bridge of my nose before glancing at Chloe who has a headset on with her eyes closed; my beautiful girlfriend. Scratch that, I still need to ask her and make it official, "Zach?"

I huff looking back at my younger brother, "I'm not doing this stupid wedding deal alright? Let dad get that straight. I don't care if our company gets fucked up which we can still recover from if we plan things right but the bottom line is, I am not on board with this arrangement and I will never be," making sure every word I said is loud and clear, I wait for him to respond.

"It's not like I can convince that stubborn ass man," he mutters running a hand through his hair, "Look, things are finally looking up for Chloe and me. I'd do anything to not fail her and I definitely don't need a wedding deal just because it'd benefit dad,"

"Wait, a second, you guys are together?"

"Yeah," I reply with a smile before stealing a glance at her, "Tell her that I'm still really mad at her for kneeing me," letting out a laugh, I grab the bottle of water to drink some.

"Well I still do love that crazy girl who stuck with my brother through all the shitty stuff," he finally grins making me roll my eyes but with my smile never dropping.

"I'll see what I can do to convince dad,"

"Thank you so much brother, I owe you," I say finally grinning happily, "Oh you sure do but right now, my phone's going dead in 3...2...1," with that his phone goes dead making me chuckle.

I close my laptop before standing up and making my way to Chloe. Sighing, I sit next to her; she opens her eyes with a smile and takes off the headset. "Done with work?" she asks me and I nod before pulling her into a kiss.

"Sorry, I know it's been a boring day for you here," I apologize pulling back before tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear, "Don't be silly, it sure was boring but I would've pretty much-done nothing at home either. Besides, I got to see you in your hot bossy side,"

"Hot bossy side, huh?" she smiles before hugging me close, "Honestly, everything feels too good to be true,"

"Well while you're feeling that way, I might as well ask you another question," I say pulling back just enough to look at her curious eyes, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"I thought I already was?" she raises an eyebrow, faking being hurt, "Awe, I'm sorry sugar, I thought you were waiting for me to ask,"

She smacks my arm catching me by surprise, "It was about damn time you asked dumb ass. I started thinking if you didn't want me as your girlfriend,"

I shake my head with a chuckle, oh my paranoid best friend. Okay, scratch that, she's my girlfriend now, "I'm sorry, alright? That was the last thing on my mind with you mad at me half the time and then Snowy interrupting us all the time,"

"Oh, shut up! Stop blaming Snowy, you were the one who didn't make up for lost time with him once you got back," she rolls her eyes making me smile once again, "Fine, blame me all you want but kiss me first,"

Whispering against her lips, I pull her into a kiss. Her fingers run through my hair while I hold her in place and she slides her tongue into mine making me go hard under her, "Let's go home already, Zach,"

"What about dinner?"

"In bed," she says making me smile, "You are my horny little girlfriend,"

"I'm not little!"
