"Yo lovebirds! Get up!" Someone screamed through the door. I groaned and opened my eyes to see Eric standing up and putting pants on.

"Who is it?" I mumbled and he slid his shirt over his head.

"Tess." He mumbled and I rolled my eyes. I quickly got dressed in my clothes and went to the door with Eric.

"What do you want Tee?" Eric said boredly as he flung the door open.

"Woah, Max wants us for a meeting in his office. 20 minutes." She said and smirked.

"You two had a fun night, huh?" She teased and I turned red.

"Shut up." I mumbled and walked away to Eric's kitchen.

"Bye lovebirds!" She shouted then walked out. Eric groaned and came and stood by me in the kitchen.

"Do you want any water babe?" He asked and I nodded.

"Yes please thank you." I said and slid myself up to sit on the counter top. He walked to me with the water and I smiled greatfully.

"Thank you Eri." I said and sipped on the water. He quickly took the empty glass from me and set it in the sink then walked over to me.

"You have a good night last night?" He asked me and smirked. I just laughed and played with his shirt.

"I had a great night thank you. What about you boss?" I said and he leaned in close. Our noses lightly brushed each other but that's as close as they went.

"Hmm it was alright I suppose." He teased and I pouted my bottom lip. I pulled him closer to me and he kissed me softly.

"Kidding, I had a great night babe." He whispered and I smiled at him.

"That's what I like to hear." I said proudly and he pulled me closer to him. He grabbed my legs and wrapped them tightly around his waist. I clung onto his shirt as he kissed my jaw lightly. He left a trail of kisses down my jaw, me neck, up my chin and to my lips. He kissed my bottom lip lightly and I felt a shiver run down my spine. As soon as I leaned in, he leaned his head back and smirked.

"C'mere Eri." I whined and he chuckled but moved closer to me anyway. I wrapped my legs tighter around him as his hands found my hips. I kissed his lips softly then pulled away.

"So that meeting yeah?" I said and kissed his cheek. He nodded and lifted me off the counter.

"Let's go." He said and kissed my head.

.

"So tonight, it is the annual dinner for all the leaders of the five factions. Harrison has decided to stay here so it will just be us five." Max said and I nodded.

"We will be getting a car to Erudite headquarters where we will meet, have dinner and a chat." He said.

"Do we dress fancy or what?" I asked and Tess smiled.

"We dress to impress Bray, don't worry I'll help you out." She said and winked at me. I laughed and turned back to the conversation.

"Okay that's all I wanted to say so you can go now and Eric you're training Brayden today." Max said then stood up. Eric nodded and we stood up together.

"Eric come get us from my apartment, Aaron you too. We will be ready at 7." She said to the boys and they nodded.

"Let's go train Bray." Eric said and we walked away down the hall together, hand in hand.

.

The day passed pretty quickly, only because I was quite excited for the dinner.

"I will be here at 7. Be ready." Eric said as we reached Tess' apartment. I stopped and knocked on the door then turned back to him.
