The next morning Xildan woke up to a hand on his face and someone's leg on his. He looked to his side and saw Eliora still asleep her body scattered all over the bed each joint in an entirely different place.

He just looked at her and smiled as he plopped himself on his elbow just staring at his her just mesmerized by her beauty, the way her hair bounced around her face as she moved her slightly parted lips it was all just drawing him in. He could really get used to waking up like this.

But then he remembers last night, the dream, Xander's word it was all to much he let out a frustrated sigh and rested his head on the headboard despite his current predicament he couldn't help but just stare at her she always managed to draw him in even without doing anything.

He reluctantly swung his legs and got out of bed as he headed to the shower he needed to distract himself from tge whole situation was work. His footsteps heavy and padded as he shut the door behind him clearly forgetting the other presence in the room.

Eliora's eyes fluttered open at the sound of the door closing and she slowly sat up rubbing her eyes as to drive away the remnants of sleep from her body. She looks around and realizes the other side of the bed was empty, the pillow barrier already scattered and she felt it was all Xildan's doing.

The sound of the shower running caught her attention it was obvious Xildan was inside and probably wanting to go to work and she needed to see Ella but then the reality of the situation sank in...her dream. The fact that all this was real was just so overwhelming.

"Make sure the story doesn't end this way" she spoke her voice quiet and soft as she remembered Eva's warning. She needed to free her mind and seeing Ella would do just that. She immediately got up and headed to Xildan's wardrobe where she had dropped her clothes.

She quickly brought out an outfit she would wear after taking a shower so she set the clothes on the bed as she waited. She immediately paced around as she waited for him to come out but she was just too impatient.

She took the clothes she had picked out and headed to the exit door. She poked her head out the door and looked both ways hoping his grandmother wouldn't see her. When the coast was clear she practically sprinted to her room.

She immediately locked the door behind her and made her way to her suitcase luckily for her she had extra toiletries apart from the one she kept in Xildan's bathroom. She made sure she hurried up because she didn't want Xildan to leave without her.

She cane out of the room now in a pair of blue jeans and black t-shirt as she tiptoed back into Xildan's room. As she entered his room she spotted him already dressed and looking out the window like he was spying on someone.

"What are you doing" she spoke her voice making him turn his head to her then he sighed "watching my grandmother" he spome as he gestured for her to come over to the window and see for herself "why's that" she said as she walked to the window pushing the curtains aside she was able to fetch a slight view of the garden below.

And there she was his grandmother surrounded by five other ladies sitting a garden "who are those" she asked as she looked back at him and he just rubbed his templates in frustration "my grandmother's friends...they aren't actually the most pleasant visitors"

She raised an eyebrow at his statement "and why's that"
"Let's just say...they have a lot of opinions you know" he replied and she just chuckled "yeah i get you...they really don't have any filter that's qqq sure"

"Going somewhere" he asked as he looked at her from head to toe and he couldn't deny she looked good "yes actually...i wanted you to drop me off at my friend's house" he just gave an understanding nod as his eyes lingered on her neck he tilted his head as he walked closer to her.

"Where's your necklace" he spoke his breath hot against her face as he referred to the pearl necklace he got her  "it's back in my room...why?" He placed his hand in his pockets as a slight frown crawled unto his face "Go put it on...and come to the living room" his stated his voice growing colder and age just stood staring at him was wearing the necklace that important to him.

"Fine...chill" she said the last part coming out as a whisper as she walked out of his room and he stepped out as well as he walked towards the stairs.

She let out an annoyed sigh as she walked towards the dresser "is this really necessary" she grumbled as she finally brought out the necklace as she hooked it around her neck. With another resignated sigh she walked towards the staircase.

"It's on" she spoke as she walked down the stairs "Good"

"So what we're gonna do is that I'm going to walk out first and...you wait a little while before you come out okay" he instructed and she just looked at him "is that really necessary"

"Fuck yes...because if we go out together I promise you we're not going anywhere...they'll make sure we join their little tea party" he said as he looked out the living room window "ohh that makes sense"
"In that case...get going then" i replied and gestured for him to use the door
