"Let me out Caleb," Zahra mumbled in her sleep, "Please," She whimpered quietly.

Dami stood by the bathroom door, watching her talk and wither around in her sleep.

It seemed she had fallen asleep when he got into the shower and was now having a bad dream.

"Zahra," Dami got down to her level, stroking her arm. "Wake up," He added kissing her cheek.

He wiped the tears that were running down her face while she was asleep.

"Z, baby wake up, you're okay," He rubbed her arm, trying to get her awake.

As Zahra stirred she sat up quickly and moved away from Dami as fast as she could.

"I'm not going to hurt you," Dami held his hands up, "You were talking gin in your sleep and I wanted you to get up,"

Zahra exhaled and wiped her face, "Thank you," She mumbled.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked her gently,

"No," She cleared her throat. "It was just a dream, I should get in the shower now,"

"Zahra —"

"What do you want me to say?" She cut him off, staring back at him. "I don't understand what you want from me Dami, I'm not always going to be fragile and ready for you to put back together,"

"Is that what you think I'm doing?" He raised a brow,

"Yes, you think I'm this broken person and you're always there to pick me back up again, I'm not relying on you to make me feel better," Zahra told him.

Dami walked back into the bathroom and started the shower, "You can shower while I go and make Taylor breakfast,"

"Now you're just not going to respond," She blinked at him,

"I'm not about to argue with you Zahra, over something so stupid," He snapped. "I'm trying to be there for you, not to fix you or put you back together but to be your fucking boyfriend,"

"Don't swear at me," Zahra frowned,

Dami sighed heavily and crossed his arms, "I'm trying but you keep pushing me away whenever you feel vulnerable,"

"Don't tell me how I feel," She argued. "I had a bad dream, I had a bad morning, those things happen but I don't always need a pep talk, I'm allowed to not be one hundred percent all the time,"

"I never said you had to be," He shouted; "Now you have me in here raising my voice and shit, this isn't what I wanted,"

"I didn't make you raise your voice, you did that on your own," Zahra scoffed. "I don't want to do this with you today, so can we park this for now?"

"No because there is clearly something bothering you, it may not be the dream but Lucky was in here while I was in the shower, I heard him," Dami said back,

Zahra huffed and moved past him, stripping out of her clothes. "I don't like arguing with you,"

"Me neither so let's just talk about it," He followed her into the bathroom.

"You just showered, are you gonna come in again?" She asked in humor,

"For you, yeah," Dami nodded pulling his shirt off. "I want to talk, I don't like fighting with you, it's painful," He added.

Zahra bit back her tears, getting into the shower, not responding to him.

Dami blew out a breath and got in with her, wrapping his arms around her.
