Drawn to Him

chapter twelve

Elise's POV:

When I woke up I had fallen asleep with my head on Roman's shoulder and my legs were spread out. I thought we would've moved in the mist of sleeping but his hand was still on my thigh.

I lifted my head off his shoulder and picked it the hand that was practically glued to my thigh. Ivy  wasn't in the living room anymore but Isaac was laid out on the floor. My throat was ichy and dry so I went to the kitchen for some water where I found Ivy and Sage talking.

"Morning", Ivy says with a coffee in her hand. "Goodmorning, hi Sage", I say, going for the fridge. "Hey Elise, I heard you're getting better at the fighting skills", she says, her green eyes piercing into mine.

"Yeah, I guess I am", I smile at her and leave the kitchen. I came back to find Roman and Isaac talking. I noticed that whenever Roman wakes up his eyes look slightly closed and his skin looks as soft as ever. Like a baby.

I sat next to him just like last night and when I looked up from my water bottle Isaac was grinning with his eyebrows raised looking between Roman and I. "What?" I said. He laughed to himself and dropped his head. "Nothing", he sighs.

"What is it", Roman almost barked. He was now laughing and waving his hand like nothing. "She's getting comfortable here, with you. Maybe she does belong here", Isaac says. Did he think I didn't belong before? "And you thought I didn't belong here before?" I questioned.

"I thought you couldn't handle what we do, but apparently you can and I see now I was wrong", he says, almost laughing again. "Yeah, you were", Roman said, laying his arm behind me on the back of the couch.

"Hey guys", Sage says walking in. "Only two more days left and you guys have been sitting here, so why not do something fun", she said. "Like what?" Isaac asks. She pulls out her phone and glances at it. "On my way here I stopped into town and heard people taking about fireworks so I thought we could go", she mentions.

"I'm down", Isaac says with no hesitation. Roman looked at me waiting for an answer. I looked at Sage and said sure. Her and Ivy were excited. "This should be fun, I've never really fireworks up close", Ivy says pulling on my arm and taking me to the room she and Sage was staying in.

"What are you going to wear Elise?" Sage asked, rummaging through her bag. Before I could respond Ivy spoke for me.  "I packed her bag with some cute things, courtesy of my closet", Ivy says.  She left to grab my bag from my room and when she came back she started going through it.

"Oh, this", she pulled out. It was a tight long sleeve shirt and low waisted jeans. It was cute but it seem like something from those old vintage movies. "Won't it be cold?" Sage asks Ivy. Then Ivy pulled out a white puffer jacket. "You are welcome", she smiles, placing her hands on her hips.

I grab them all and go change. I was actually quite comfortable. Sage was standing in front of the mirror in the corner applying a nude pink lipstick with Isaac behind her and his hands on her waist.

I thought they'd be toxic, sharing meals and making out in minute then fighting and throwing things the next. But their not, and it's cute. "Wow! That is pretty, your boots are right there", she tells me, pointing to the shoes beside the bathroom door.

The closet door shot open and Ivy jumped out also wearing a black long sleeve shirt that showed a sliver of her stomach and low waisted jeans.

"Who's ready for some fireworks!" She shouts with her arms spread. "Clearly you are", Isaac laughs and she throws her boot at him causing a loud thud once it hits the wood floor. "If you guys want to catch them maybe we should go now", Roman said from the doorway. He's so quiet when he moves it's scary.
