|Late Night Reading|

Thank you so much elinched12 !

*Alexa's POV*

I need sleep.

Why?

Well it was currently twelve in the morning and I was forcing myself to finish rereading one of my favorite mafia books.

I sniffled a bit before letting out a small cough, my first instincts was that I had a cold. I didn't know how I got it,but I blamed it on the birds that chirp on my window early in the mornings.

Then, I started sneezing alot of times, like it was a sneezing competition. I got up from my bed and looked around in the dark.

Was there dust in my room? If there was, I couldn't sleep in my room, if I sneezed too much I would fear that my nose would swell up.

I took my phone and started to read as I walked, at least the book would finish like that, the faster, the sooner I would get to sleep.

Deciding in my mind, I was going to sleep in Blake's room.

I quietly opened the door and slipped inside, however it left to a new smell.

Did Blake change his room smell? Don't get me wrong, I don't go out sniffing stuff, my nose just remembers the smell of things.

Ignoring that thought, I walked towards the bed as I carried on reading.

She sneaked into his room and stole his hoodie.

I grinned, tiptoeing to Blake's closet. I quickly grabbed a random hoodie and slipped it on top of my t-shirt.

The hoodie was huge, it reached my knees and it was alot long than my hands.

I flipped my hands, making me giggle.

"Who's there?" A cold voice, -not Blake's- that sent shivers down my spine, asked.

"Uh.. Me?" I didn't know what to say.

A lamp was turned on, I squinted my eyes for a second, trying to get used to the light.

"Alexa?"

I froze.

I was in the wrong room. I giggled nervously.

"Alexa, what are doing in my room?" Elonzo asked.

"Uh-" I stuttered, my tounge finding it hard to produce words. I blushed, looking around the room.

"And that's my hoodie," Elonzo said, his eyebrows raised.

I slowly nodded, attempting to be invisible.

"Why so?" He questioned.

I don't say anything.

"I expect an answer," Elonzo's stern voice filled up in the room.

"Well, I, uhm," I was so embarrassed.

Elonzo got up from his bed and crouched down in front of me to my level, forcing me to look at his cold eyes.

I fiddled with my fingers before whispering,"I think I have a cold." Why was I getting so nervous?

Elonzo's eyes flashed with warmth, but it went as quick as it was shown.

"You shouldn't be out of bed," He stated.

I sniffled,"There's too much dust."

"And you were hoping to sleep with one of us?" He asked, amusement in his voice.

I slowly nodded.

Elonzo stood up and left me to his bed, tucking me in, before slipping under the covers.

Warmth spread inside me, I wanted you started squealing but I was scared it would ruin the moment.

Slowly, having the courage, I wrapped my arms around Elonzo and snuggled into his side.

I felt his arms envelope me into a hug.

"The twentieth of July is in ten days, are you excited?" Elonzo asked softly which told me that this was the once in a life time expression and I had to cherish this moment.

My eyes glowed and grinned,"I have always been excited for my birthday."

"Anything special you want?"

I didn't know what to say, there were alot of things I wanted.

I quickly shook my head and whispered,"No.. Not really."

Elonzo rubbed my back as I carried on sniffling and coughing. He did this till I was almost asleep.

I felt a small kiss being planted on my forehead.
