My Italian Roommate.

lunch dates

    I was thankful my session was over, dont get me wrong, Morrigan was a great Therapist and I loved her help but after everything that happened within the last twenty four hours took me by surprise. I had told her of what my Ex from New Orleans tried to do and how "my neighbor" had came into save me and moved in. Of course Morrigan was ecstatic because she saw this as a sign of me starting to move forwards and not living a restricted life because of my fear. I was starting to give it less power. To be honest, Ezio came up in my sessions quite a bit but I always referred to him as my neighbor. It hadn't been long until she picked up on the fact I had liked him more then I was willing to admit, she even tried to boost my confidence up to try and ask him out if I felt this way or at least let him know but I couldn't do that, I was to afraid of his rejection and not wanting to be friends with me anymore. Why ruin a good thing? Morrigan could say otherwise but she hadnt been me.

    Getting back to the apartment I settled into the couch and pulled a blanket over me, flipping on the TV to Ghost adventures. I didnt care what people said, it was a great show and plus Zak was hot, who could pass up a tall, muscular, mysterious man who embraced that side of things? Shadow quickly darted across the floor and jumped up onto one of the smaller tables before laying down and making herself comfy. It wasnt to long until I heard the patter of Cosmos's paws coming towards me. I watched as he ran up to me and sat in front of me, poking his head on the ledge as he gave me the biggest puppy dog eyes as he wined a bit. This was too cute. This was his way of begging even if he knew he was allowed to.

     "Come on, get up here" I said with a smile. Wagging his tail excitedly he barked once before jumping on the couch and curling up next to me. He was spoiled that was for sure. Licking my face briefly he laid down, me wrapping my arms around him as I ran my fingers through his fur. He definitely needed a bath, that was for sure. Turning my attention back to the TV I propped my head up on one of the pillows and got as comfy as I could. I wanted to relax as much as possible before going to work today and seeing it was a Friday? We would be slammed and I was not looking forwards to that. Drunk and horny men but I could put up with it for the most part and anytime I got uncomfortable their was always someone to take my place.

.........................

      I looked up as I heard the door open, pausing my show briefly just as Zak had taken off his shirt, only to see Ezio walk in shirtless as well and sweaty. Him moving in was definitely going to be something I was going to have to get used too but I would definitely enjoy the view. Just as I had looked Shadow had began to rub herself against his legs. Ezio chuckled as he looked down, leaning down slightly as he pet her, listening to her purr. She really did like him. 

     "be careful, you might have black hair stuck to you" I joked playfully causing him to look up and give me a slight glare.

    "That only means I had a good run. You should join me sometime, I could always use a partner" He said as he stood back up. I couldn't help but rake my eyes over his chest as I felt something stir within me. No, Ember, stop. I snorted.

    "I'm good. Knowing you, you probably choose to run something insane and I don't want to die thank you"

    "It's not that bad" Ezio defended "Its not even  25 miles"

    "See, Insane" 

     "I'll get you to come with me, it may not be now, but I will. Let me clean up first and we can go out"

    "We shall see, take as long as you need. I'd like to finish this episode" I said as I pressed play. Ezio only chuckled as he walked down the hall. He had learned the hard way that he couldn't interrupt me during my ghost adventures show unless he had valued his life. I would raise hell if someone had interrupted me and I would make sure they knew just exactly what they did, Vel had learned that when I chucked a book at her head, cursed her out in Norwegian, and shunned her for a good couple of days. She made it up to me by getting me a huge stuffed jackal plushie and some chocolates to mend our friendship. Curling up once more I focused my attention back to the screen, watching as Aaron yet again freaked out and screamed like a girl. That would never get old. Chuckling to myself Cosmos woke up from his nap as he yawned a bit before getting off the couch and walking over to his bowl to eat, leaving his immensely warm spot to get cold. I only curled up into a ball even more to keep myself warm. Unfortunately I got cold easily so I was always huddled under blankets and jackets. Aside from Ezio and I's make out sessions, anytime we had hung out and I was cold Ezio would cuddle me and let me tell you- he was very, very warm. It was like he was his own personal heater and I couldn't lie I was a bit jealous at that fact, why did he always have to be warm? I couldn't really complain though, I did get to cuddle with him and that was a really good and relaxing feeling. I could practically feel his strong arms wrapped around my waist as he held me close, I felt protected, and the way his breathing had been so relaxed.... Seriously, was their anything this man wasn't good at? He was just making this too hard for me but I couldn't help but wonder, would he still do that here now that he moved in? Would I get a longer time to lay in his arms? Again I felt that same giddy school girl feeling as I felt my face flush. I wasnt sure if I hated or loved the way he intruded into my thoughts and placed himself there so that most of what I thought about was him when I wasnt busy. How could he do that so easily? That was much more then a playboy thing or was I reading into things wayyyyy to much. Damn feelings. Why couldn't my brain and heart agree?
