A gathering at the Argent household was just what Elaina and Levi needed to settle in.

Elaina shuffled uncomfortably on the couch in her living room. Making all sorts of faces while she tossed and turn trying not to fall off the couch. "Shh! You'll wake her up!" Elaina knew her best friends voice anywhere. She opened her eyes slowly to see what she was up too. As her eyes focused on what was in front of her, she saw Jake and Katrina. Jake was holding his jacket while Katrina pushed on his chest forcing him towards the door. "Your the one being loud!" He said to her. As Jake's back is against her front door, Elaina closed her eyes in disgust. "Get out, Jake." She mumbled earning a gasp from the two. "Oh my-" Elaina sat up from the couch and looked at her surroundings. Bradley was asleep peacefully on her floor. She understand how he could be comfortable. "Out. Both of you. And stay out of my bathroom, yeah?" Lifting her hand up and looking at the watch in her wrist, she felt ill. It was 2am. "Sorry!" Her best friend whispered as they opened the door and left. She groaned and laid her head back onto the couch.

"Hey." She jumped as she heard a raspy voice all of a sudden. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." She looked down and saw Bradley sitting up from her floor. "What the hell happened?" She asked him. "Well, Natasha took Levi to Penny's house for the night and once they left you decided to drink more than you should." She felt bad that she didn't remember saying goodbye to her son. "Why are you here?" Elaina asked the man in her floor. "I don't know. Guess I passed out drunk." She chuckled at the thought of him being extremely drunk. While her eyes were closed she felt her couch dip down as he sat next to her. "Thank you, for inviting me tonight. I had a great time." She looked at him and smiled. "Of course. We're co-workers and you keep me alive thousands of feet above ground so I can come home to my son every night, I don't see why I wouldn't have invited you." Her gaze met his and she couldn't look away. His eyes felt like a deep pool that she couldn't get out of. "Your eyes are very pretty." Bradley told her. She felt maybe it was a just a coincidence they were both think about each other's eyes. "Yeah um.. thank-" She was cut as he pressed his lips against hers. Shockingly, she kissed him back. Her eyes fluttered shut and her hands reached for the back of his neck. The kiss started to get heated. "What am I doing?"

She pulled away quickly, covering her mouth with her hand. "I'm sorry." She muttered. "No, it's okay, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you." She stood for her couch and ran her fingers through her hair. "I should go to bed. I gotta get Levi in the morning and um- yeah I'll see you at work." Without another word from either of them, she walked into her room shutting the door behind her. She sighed as she covered her face with her hands. Hearing footsteps stop Infront of her door she held her breath. Her hand hovered over the doorknob of the door. She didn't know what she wanted to do but she needed to make her mind up quick. She saw the shadow of the man under the door. He wasn't moving. What did she want? She has a son, is this really a wise decision? They're co-workers, is it worth the awkwardness after?

Elaina was thinking to much into it. That's all she knew how to do when it came to these things. She hasn't been with anyone in 8 years. The shadow beneath the door moved. She couldn't see it anymore. "Open the door." She repeated to herself over and over again before finally twisting the door knob and stepping out of her room. Bradley turned around to face the blonde. "Am I gonna regret this?" She asked him. "God, I hope not." That feeling she felt before returned and never wanted to leave when his lips were on hers again.

Elaina groaned in annoyance as the sun peaked through her blinds. Staying still for a moment she realized an arm was wrapped around her waist. Bradley. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she remembered what had happened last night. She hasn't felt that way in years.

"Goodmorning." Bradley mumbled. She turned to face him noticing he must have been awake for a while. "Hi." She smiled as he pushed his lips against hers giving her a gentle kiss. "How long have you been awake?" She asked him. "Not too long." He pushed a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear. "Um... I should go, pick up Levi. He's probably wondering where I am." She sat up from her bed only to remember she didn't have any clothes on. She squeezed her shut as she pulled her blanket up to her chest. "Maybe you should leave first." She didn't know how she could possibly feel this awkward around him now. He had see her naked already. "Yeah, I-I'll see you at work.. tomorrow." She nodded. "Yeah, see you tomorrow." She kept her eyes closed as she felt him get out of bed and put his clothes on. "Bye, Elaina." Once she heard her front door shut, she rushed to get ready to go pick up her son.

As Elaina walked into the Hard Deck, she immediately noticed her son playing with a dog. "Hi, Baby!" She said as she walked over to her son. "Mom! Your back!" He threw his arms around his mother, embracing her into a warm hug. "How was your night?" She asked him. "It was fun. I played with Theo for a while on the beach." She looked down at the dog and pet him on his head. It gave her the idea of buying a puppy for a son. "Hey." Elaina looked up to meet the eyes of her teacher, Pete Mitchell. "Oh, my god." She chuckled nervously as she stood from the ground. "Maverick." That was all she felt she could say at the moment. "We're not on duty at the moment, call me Pete." She smiled lightly. "So, that's the infamous son you were talking about at work." She nodded. "Um, yeah. I didn't think you heard that." She often talked about Levi the other day with Natasha and Jake, she didn't realized he had heard. "Your not the best whisperer." She found it odd that Bradley said the same thing to her. "Well, nice seeing you Mav- Pete." She corrected. "Thank you, again, for keeping him Amelia." She smiled. "No problem, I love him." Elaina reached for her son's hand. "Wait, Elaina." She looked up at the teacher she admired. "Yes?" He looked at Amelia before walking over to his student. "I've noticed that you've gotten close with Bradley, has he said anything?" She held her breath as she thought of what to say. "No, sir. I know what you did with his application but that's all." He looked down at his hands as if he was disappointed. "I hope me and him can get past our problems." She nodded. "I hope one day you'll see me as a friend, rather than an idol." She tilted her head in confusion as he called himself her idol. "Again, not the best whisperer." She laughed. "See you later, Pete. Come on, Levi."

They said their goodbyes and headed towards her car. Right now, Elaina was about to act on a thought that she had. She knew it wasn't the best idea but it was happening.

Things are getting interesting!
If you haven't already noticed, I went back and changed the mc name from Ella to Elaina. Ella seemed too short for my liking. I also changed her call sign to fit her character more. Instead of Ella 'Chaos' Argent, the mc/ oc is Elaina 'Rookie' Argent.
I also edited the cast chapter, we now have a face for Levi Argent!
