Human Mates

Chapter 14

Eleanor's P.O.V.

I woke up to someone poking me. I swatted whoever's hand away and they only chuckled. "How does it feel like waking up to someone poking you?" I'm guessing Ashton said.

"Annoying. Now, let me go back to sleep." I said tiredly. "No. You can't go back to sleep, I need some company when I do paper work. It's so lonely in my office." Ashton pouted. "Ask Ryan to annoy you. He does it better than me." I replied.

Ashton didn't stop poking me and it was starting to get really annoying. Is this how annoyed Ashton  gets when I poke him to go to the bathroom? If it is, I'm sorry Ashton.

He stopped poking me, but the bed beneath me disappeared. I opened my eyes and saw Ashton carrying me. Too tired to resist, I just let him carry to wherever he was going.

He kicked the door gently, enough to open it, and walked towards his desk. Once he sat down, he placed me on one of his legs, then puts my legs on the other leg. My head rested on his shoulder and he scoots in closer to the desk and starts working.

Watching him do pack work for not even a minute, I start to drift off into darkness.

"Ellie." Someone said, stretching out the 'e' sound. Seems like someone placed me on my be because a soft material was under me. I grumbled under my breathe even I couldn't understand what I was saying and snuggled into the pillow I was holding.

"Ellie." The same voice called out. "Wake up! I feel so lonely." The voice said quieter. I'm pretty sure it's Colton because he's the only one who can't say my name.

I slowly opened my eyes and Colton was staring at me with wide eyes. "Please?" He said. "Fine, fine." I grumbled.

I got up, blankets dropping on the floor. I groaned and picked them up and setting it on the bed. Colton held out his arms, signaling me to carry him. I placed him at my hip and started walking to his room.

Once I entered, I stepped on something. "Oww." I said. I looked at his room and saw many Legos on the floor, toys scattered in every corner, and a very messy bed.

"How did you get so much toys?" I asked him. He shrugged, "Ash gave them to me and some girls." I laughed at him. "Okay, what do you want to do?" I asked. He jumps out of my hold and headed towards a book with Legos on it.

He gave it to me and said, "I want to make one of these." I looked through the book and saw complicated Lego inventions.

"You pick." I mumbled. Colton's face lit up and picked a pirate ship. I stared at him, and he stared back. I mentally did a face palm and he started getting pieces for the first step. He got them and told me to connect the pieces.

I would love to say that we're half-way down within three hours, but we're not. We're not even close to half-way down. I sighed and jumped on his bed. Colton followed short afterwards.

"Colton, want something to eat?" I asked him. He nodded his head, and jumped off his bed. I opened the door and Colton and I raced down the stairs. 

I let Colton beat me, and once he reached the kitchen he yelled out, "I WON! I WON!" I laughed and picked him up. Addison and Skylar were in the kitchen, so they watched us with amused eyes.

I chased Colton around the kitchen as he went in circles around the island. I finally caught up with him and set him on the island. Lucky Charms!" He shouted. I rolled my eyes and poured some cereal for him and for me.

Colton and I started staring at Addison and Skylar, making them stare back. "Guys! Do you know wh-" Ashton said but got caught off when he walked into the kitchen and saw that we were staring at each other like it was a competition, and  I guess it was.
