I Adopted My Teacher (Under Edit)

17- Wake Up

I slept until I felt a nudge on my shoulder. My eyes opened and I looked around. Angela and Erica were on the blanket-covered floor with me, sleeping. I didn't know what time it was. Another nudge was felt on my back and I turned around. 

Elias was kneeling down, waking me up. He was wearing a white shirt with an unbuttoned black polo. "Elias?" I yawned. He covered my mouth  and helped me stand up.

"Come with me." He whispered. I yawned again and rubbed my eyes. "Where?" I whispered back.

"Just in your room." He said in a low voice. My eyes shot open and I was wide awake. "No!" I whispered loudly, hoping my best friends won't wake up. I'm not gonna sleep with Elias.

"It's not like that. Just trust me." He said, taking my hand in his and led me upstairs. It was probably midnight, or 3am or something. Everything was dark and I cursed Elias in my mind for his supernatural ability to be able to see at night.

He had one hand on my back and he used his other hand to open my bedroom door. 

There were candles and rose petals on the floor, on my bed, on my tables, and everywhere.

"Oh, my god." I said, looking around. The smell of roses was in the atmosphere and it smelled heavenly. "You like?" Elias said, walking beside me. I nodded. "I love."

There was a pile of blanket in one corner near the window. I looked puzzled. My drawer was on that corner. I looked around the candlelit room and found my dresser on the other side. He moved my dresser, and my study table. 

"What is this for?" I asked him. My eyes were filled with amusement and the beauty of the surroundings.

"It's for you." He said, kissing my cheek. I went near the pile of blankets, and when I got a closer look, I found out it wasn't just blankets. It was a fort. He built a fort.

"The idea of a fort is to go in, not look from the outside." Elias said, pushing me in the fort. It was white and orange, since the candles outside reflected the inside. It was beautiful and sweet. There were pillows inside and a laptop in the middle. Elias followed me inside. We had to lower our heads since the blanket wasn't high enough for us to stand. He laid down beside the laptop and showed me a movie. Home Alone.

"That's a great movie." I said, laying down next to him. "That's why I chose it." He smiled, handing me an earphone. We shared the pair of earphones. It was smart of him, since if we played it out loud, the girls would wake up. 

We cuddles as we watched the movie. This was really sweet of him, and I felt bad since I didn't give him anything for Christmas. 

"What time is it?" I asked him. He looked at me. "1:20" 

I nodded, then rested my head on his shoulder. "I didn't give you anything." I frowned. He sighed and paused the movie.

"Being with you is more than enough." He said, kising my forehead.

"That's what most guys say when their girlfriends say they don't have a gift." I complained.

"Because it's true," Elias said. "You give me dog food. That is more than enough." 

I laughed, then stopped. I wondered if that was loud enough for the girls to wake up,but I  didn't hear anything from them, so I averted my eyes back to Elias.

"But-"

"No buts. Just cherish this moment we're having together." He said, then kissed my lips fully. I kissed his cheek, then we went back to watching the movie.

It was 2:30am and me and Elias were cuddling in the fort, with soft pillows around us. My head rested on his chest, while his arm was around me.
