FOREVER YOURS

Chapter 20

Angela's pov
---------------

A week has past and it was quite eventful to say the least.

After waking up with Elijah's arms tightly wrapped around my body after the night I asked him to stay with me, changed a lot of things between us. After that night, he sleeps next to me every night. And I'm not complaining one bit about it.

Elijah has been spending almost every second with me. He even sits with me in the garden everyday, just before the sun sets. He goes out with me to places like the beach, the museum, fast food restaurants and the park.

I know he doesn't like going to these places. I can clearly see it on his face whenever he steps out of the car and we're surrounded by random people. But for some odd reason he keeps insisting that we do these things. It's sweet of him.

The dreams are becoming more frequent though. I tell Elijah about them but whenever I do he seems quite happy when I have them,which is weird. I do notice how he copies some of the things from my dreams. Like when I told him about how me and that boy went skateboarding down the street once.

Elijah was a pro though. I couldn't skate for the life of me.

Elijah tried hiding his laughter but after I fell on my butt three times, he just burst out laughing. It was quite the sight, seeing him laugh. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Apart from that, other eventful things has also taken place around the mansion.

Dante brought the girl he took the night of the ball, to the mansion.

Nicole.

Elijah agreed that she could stay here and would be training everyday at the warehouse to be one of their female soldiers. Elijah said that she was really good in shooting guns. Her aim was perfect.

The first few days I didn't see her much beacuse she was training intensely everyday. But today I'm finally going to properly be able to meet her.

I was currently in the kitchen making breakfast for Elijah and myself. Mrs Perez was sick and Elijah apparently doesn't allow anyone else to cook for him. He was against me making breakfast for him but I insisted. He quickly gave in when I gave him the puppy dog eyes. That always seems to work on him.

Besides, I love cooking, so this is fun for me.

While I was busy with the eggs, I felt a presence near my back. I glanced over my shoulder and saw Elijah standing behind me while peering over my shoulder.

My breath hitched as I felt his hands on my hips and his breath fan my neck. "Good morning, Angel." His deep morning voice made butterflies erupt inside my stomach.

"Good morning." I whispered, hyper aware of his body slightly pushed up against my back.

"You're up early. How did you sleep?" he asked, his hands never leaving my hips as he spoke.

I tried to focus on the task at hand but it was hard to do so when he was this close to me.

"I was hungry so I decided to get started with breakfast earlier this morning. And I slept well, what about you?"

He buried his head in the side of my neck and my breathing quickened. "Amazing." He replied.

"The foods almost ready. Can you get the plates, please?" I asked him quickly.

He slightly tightens his grip around my hips before reluctantly letting go and taking out the plates from the cupboard. I blew out the breath I was holding before getting our plates ready.
