    I groaned as I woke up, the alarm blaring in my ear. Glancing up I had seen the bright blinking red numbers that read out seven am. Groaning again, I hit the alarm clock and yawned, looking down to see Cosmos curled into my side. Smiling softly I placed a gentle kiss on his head and got up, pulling on a large oversized sweater that dwell at least mid thigh. Yawning again I walked out of my room and into Elijah's, flipping on the light as I walked over to his bed- stepping over the toy trains and soldiers laying around- before I gently shook him awake. Elijah only groaned as he snuggled deeper into the pillows  clutched the blankets as tight as he could. I only smiled softly as he had gotten that from me, I didn't mind, it was early.

    "Come on sweetie, we have to get you ready for school. I have to meet your teacher today" I said softly. Elijah only grunted.

    "But I don't wanna" he whined.

    "I know but you have to. I promise you can sleep in tomorrow, ok" i said softly. Ge sat there for a moment before he opened his eyes slowly as he yawned.

     "Okkkk"

     "Thank you baby" I said as I stood up and walked out of his room, him starting to get up, as I saw Cosmos still laying in my bed. Walking into the kitchen I went to go make breakfast for Elijah when I smelled something sweet and good.... Roast? What the hell? I didn't drink coffee, so why had their been the smell of coffee in my home? My heart raced a bit as I began to panic slightly, making my way into the kitchen. I stopped in my tracks when I had spotted it im the kitchen, completely unaware and not remembering much of anything that happened before I went to bed. In the kitchen stood Ezio, in only a pair of loose gray sweatpants, leaned over on the counter as a stack of files laid out open in front of him, a coffee cup in his hands as his hair had been slightly messy but in a good way, some of it falling in his eyes. It was the most attractive thing I had ever seen, talk about eye candy, gods I could get used to this site. Of course, I blushed as I suddenly remembered that Ezio had moved in with us. Ezio must have noticed I had been looking at him because he put some of the papers away so I couldn't see exactly as he looked up and smiled at me, setting his cup down.

      "Good morning Bella, sei adorabile.  Potrei abituarmi a vedere una dea come te ogni mattina.  Mi piace abbastanza la vista" Ezio said as I crossed my arms across my chest and gave him a playful pout "coffee?" (you look lovely. I could get used to seeing such a goddess like yourself every morning. I quite enjoy the view)

     "No, thank you though. Im not much of a coffee drinker" I started as I made my way to the counter and into the kitchen, making my way towards one of the cabinets and opened it, reaching up to grab a bowl as I stood on my tippy toes. I may have been somewhat tall but these cabinets were high up. Ezio had turned to watch me, still leaning up on the counter as I swore I could feel his eyes rake over me the whole time "and you know damn well I have no clue what you're saying. It's no fair"

     "Thats why you have to practice more bella" Ezio teased playfully. I cast him a glare as I finally got the bowl down " all I said was that you look absolutely adorable"

    "drittsekk" I shot back. He rolled his eyes playfully as he ignored my comment. (asshole)

     "I didn't wake you did I? I couldn't sleep last night so I figured I'd get some work in" Ezio said. I shook my head as I went to the pantry and pulled out a box of lucky charms.

     "You didn't, I just have a meeting to go to"

     "Work?"

     "The school. Elijah's teacher wants to talk to me about his behavior in class and gods know what else"
