Use Somebody
Beauty Sleep
Cassie's POV
The first thing I did on Monday morning when my alarm rang was to kick Dave out of my bed. He had stayed the night. Brilliant. He jumped on top of me again and started to kiss me, but I bit his lip down hard until he stopped.
“You could've just told me to stop,” he whined while sucking on my bite mark.
“That was the funnier option,” I said and ruffled his hair. Last night was phenomenal, exactly what I needed, but now he needed to leave. It was easy to fall back into old patterns, and this one didn't suit me too well. He was too handsome for his own good and I averted my gaze when he put on his clothes. No time for weakness. I got up and put on some clothes myself. I had an appointment at the SNL studio in an hour. While I put on some jeans, his hands caught me from behind and I could feel his stubble against my naked shoulders.
“I enjoyed last night, babe. Let's do that again,” he mumbled with that sexy voice of his.
“We'll see,” I said and freed myself. I gave him a sweet kiss and pushed him towards the door. “I liked it, too. Now leave,” I said firmly. He laughed and grabbed my butt one last time before he got out. I sighed and went into the bathroom. No sight of Zayn, thank god, and without any further distractions, I was able to leave 10 minutes later after getting dressed.

When I got home late that evening, I had two important things to do. One: ask the boys if they wanted to be guest stars in one of the sketches. Seth had gotten wind of me being with them and he suggested it. I said I was also gonna ask Demi, but I wasn't sure if her management wanted her to do that. She had denied all rumours concerning her and Niall so far, so I thought getting seen together with him would probably be a bit of a risk.
The second thing I had to do was grab some sleep asap. I didn't get a lot last night, and the day was exhausting. Between first brainstorming and getting to know everyone, there were some first costume checks, and it felt like everyone wanted to get a picture.
I found the apartment deserted, so I didn't even make it to my room, I just collapsed on the couch. I was gone in a matter of seconds. I loved my superpower of falling asleep whenever, wherever.
Harry's POV
I got home early while the rest was still strolling through Central Park. We had spent the day with Demi, and she showed us 'her New York'. I got tired of signing autographs and posing, so I decided to get home before the others to get some rest. I found Cassie fast asleep on the couch, and my heart almost skipped a beat. She looked angelic. Deciding to tease her again, I took a quick picture and then laid down next to her. She stirred slightly while I grabbed a blanket and put it over the both of us. Careful not to touch her, I made myself comfortable and dozed off.
Demi's POV
We got home from a very exhausting day, and I was in a better mood than I had been in months. Niall rarely let go of my hand the whole day long, and was on cloud nine. When we arrived, he and I quickly went into the kitchen to get out the take-out we brought along. The rest of the boys went into their rooms to get changed. I quickly wondered whether Cassie was already home when Louis stormed into the kitchen, laughing maliciously.
“What now?” Niall asked with a laughing sigh. Louis was on a mission to cause trouble 24-7.
“Harry and Cassie. They're on the couch. Go have a look while I tweet this picture,” he said and pressed around on his phone.
“A picture? Again?” I laughed at him while we went to the living room. Wow. They were cuddled together real tight, Harry having an arm around Cassie, and her face resting on his chest. Did they do that on purpose? I wondered and observed.
“Should we wake them?” Niall asked me. I shook my head. We grinned at each other and returned to the kitchen. Louis was showing the others the photo he tweeted. I quickly took a look at it. It mostly showed Cassie's face, with half of Harry's chin and mouth on the upper left corner. The caption said “Guess who Cassie fell asleep on?” I had to admit, it was brilliant. If there was something to get speculations going, it was that picture. Sandra, Cassie's publicist had called me a few days ago when she learnt that Cassie would be staying with me and urged me to get her out there again. That's when I had the idea of inviting the boys. I was positive she would fall for one of them and vice-versa. Only, I didn't really know who favoured her the most. It was a close race between Zayn and Harry, I would say. Even though I learnt never to underestimate Liam. We'll see.
After dinner, we decided to watch a movie. Zayn was the first one in the living room, and he plunged onto the couch right next to Cassie, waking both of them up. Harry opened his eyes and sleepily grinned at us, whereas Cassie blinked a few times before she buried her face deeper into Harry's chest. “Still sleeping,” I heard her mumble into the fabric of his shirt. I was quite surprised that she didn't try to explain why she was curled up against Harry. What happened while we were gone? The only thing he did was to pull her tighter and fall asleep again. Zayn obviously admitted defeat, because he just shrugged his shoulders and grabbed the remote. The others made themselves comfortable and we started the movie.
Cassie's POV
I woke up when it was already dark and felt something warm besides me. I looked up to see that I was curled up against Harry Styles. How did that happen? I wanted to pull away, but somehow, it was really nice being held like that. I quickly weighed in my options, and decided to stay put. What the heck, I wasn't doing anything wrong. And so I cuddled closer.
What felt like seconds later I woke up again by some movement next to me. I saw that the rest of the gang was standing around the living room, watching us. I was still half asleep and didn't want to get up, so I snuggled closer to Harry and mumbled something. He didn't seem to mind, and so I drifted off to sleep again. Let them talk.
The next and final time I woke up was when I felt someone stroking over my hair. There was a movie on TV and I looked up to see my cuddle partner smile down at me. “Mornin” he mumbled. I smiled back. I had slept brilliantly. I stretched slightly and tried to pull up into a sitting position, but someone was laying against my waist. I turned around to see Zayn, slightly snoring. These boys... they obviously needed some affection. I stirred my leg and he woke up. Giving me a dashing little grin, he pulled away and I was able to move. Harry's arm fell from my shoulders and I got out from underneath the blanket. The rest regarded me with little interest, and I went into the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. Someone followed me and when I turned around, Louis stood approximately 2cm away from me.
“Hello, there,” he said cheerfully. I jumped a bit at his proximity, but then again, I was still half asleep. I poked into his chest.
“Don't scare me like that again, please,” I said politely.
“But I like scaring you,” he said with a little boy frown. I laughed and turned towards the kettle.
“Want some tea?”
“Yes, please,” he said and leant against the counter. “So... you and Harry? I'm hurt” he continued.
“Please, I only needed a pillow, and he was there when I woke up after falling asleep alone,” I explained while filling the pot with water.
“I see,” he said in a serious tone. “Classic Styles. Subtly, but deadly.” I laughed hard at that. In what world would Harry be deadly? “So.. what were you up to today?” he changed the topic.
“I was at the studio, doing some first brainstorming for my SNL appearance. Which reminds me.... I have to ask you guys something,” I remembered and got two teacups from the cupboard.
“Continue, my fair maid,” he teased me.
“Do you want to make a guest appearance in one of the sketches?” I asked head-on. His face brightened up.
“Hell, yeah! It was so much fun being there the first time, I'm sure the boys would love it! Who's the musical guest?” he asked.
“Paolo Nutini,” I replied. “He's a good friend of mine and I promised him long ago that he would be the one to perform when I was hosting SNL. Of course, I never thought in a million years I would be.”
“Why not? I think you're extremely funny. I like your movies,” he gave me the nicest compliment without even trying too hard. I smiled gratefully at him.
“Thanks. I like to hear that you think I'm funny. You're like... the funniest person I know,” I returned with a slight blush. His eyebrows shot up.
“But we only know each for like... a few hours,” he returned. I turned away to hide my embarrassment.
“I might have.... watched a few videos,” I admitted.
“HA!” he shouted. I turned around, startled by his loud voice. “I knew it, you're a fan,” he grinned.
“Am not! I just wanted to see who I was dealing with. I watched them with Dave last night.”
“So that's what did the whole night? Watching videos of MOI. I'm honoured,” he bowed slightly. I nudged him in the shoulder playfully.
“That's not what we did the whole night,” I said suggestively and saw him think of a tease to return. “Let it go,” I just said and put the cup of steaming hot tea into his hand. We then returned to the living room.
The first thing I did on Monday morning when my alarm rang was to kick Dave out of my bed. He had stayed the night. Brilliant. He jumped on top of me again and started to kiss me, but I bit his lip down hard until he stopped.
