Only Yours

ELIJAH'S POV

As I lay with the Lilah the more I realize I seriously can't be without her.

She's asleep, her head resting lightly on my chest. Her breathing is even, as her chest rises up and down at a slow pace.

Her hair's messy and she looks just overall, adorable.

Beautiful.

I know this is the only form of peace she receives after long day.

Or ever for that matter.

I don't know what's going through her mind at this moment..

From meeting her "dead" father to pretty much everything that's happened since she's been here.

I want to know how she's doing..

How she's truly doing.

She shifts a little and I smile knowing she's now awake.

She lifts her head a little wiping her eyes, before she looks at me.

"Morning." I speak first.

"Good morning.." She smiles.

"Are you finally a morning person?" I ask her, wondering why she's smiling.

"If I get to wake up to your face everyday." She laughs.

"Now your flirting."

"You started it."

"You continued it."

"Shut up." she says and I do.

I smile at her and she takes the pillow next to my head and shoves it in my face.

"Taking care of a 5th grader is fun." I say taking the pillow off my face.

"I'm 22!" She whines.

"8?" I question her.

"You're annoying." she replies.

"But you love it."

"And you."

"What-" I'm suddenly cut off when Greyson bursts through the door.

"Good your both up. We're throwing a little party." Greyson tells us both.

"Party? For what?" I ask.

"Just to unwind. Nothing new should be coming up this next week or so.. So it's just a bit of a breather." he replies.

"You came up with this?" Lilah asks him.

"No Claudia did." he replied.

"Okay.. But please knock next time." I tell him.

"Right! Sorry." he said before dipping out of the door.

Lilah started walking towards the door too.

"Where are you going?" I ask her.

"To uh.. Honestly to get away from you." She replied.

"Ouch." I say shortly. "What did you mean by and you-"

Before I could even finish my sentence she was out the door.

LILAH'S POV

Don't know what came over me to say that dumb shit.

'And you?'

Lilah are you fucking kidding me?
