Feeling too hot in my sleep, I kicked the pillow around me. The pillow groaned and moved closer to me.

Wait...heh ? Pillows don't groan, and neither do they move.

Forcing my eyes open, I saw...Dante ? Wait...why am I on the bed ? Did he really move me in the night ?

I was laying down on my back with my hands on my stomach, but my legs spread across the bed because I was feeling very hot.

Dante was sleeping on his side, and partially on me, he was facing towards me with one of his arms on my waist and the other under his head.

Wanting to move away from him, I tried pushing him by the shoulders but he only groaned in response.

Thinking of a better idea, I slowly moved his arm and tried wriggling out of his hold but this baffoon here, tightened his hold on my waist.

What's wrong with this dumbass ?

Deciding that there was no other way, I screamed in his ear, "Wake Up, Danny Whanny !"

Dante woke up with a start and sat on the bed, looking around worriedly because I had literally screamed in his ear.

Not finding anything threatening, he whined, "Why Azalea ? Why ?"

"You weren't moving away from me !" I defended myself.

"Mmhmm...." He hummed.

"Don't move me from the couch ever again, alright ?" I warned, getting out of the bed.

"You seemed very uncomfortable there, so I moved you. Don't come at me !" He said, pulling the sheets off himself and getting up.

"I'm going first." I said, taking my clothes and running into the bathroom, wanting to go before him.

"Not like I have a choice !" He shouted back.

After brushing my teeth and having a shower, I changed into comfortable clothes.

Wearing a matching set of a mint green oversized top and shorts, I applied a little moisturizer and lip balm.

I also made sure my hair didn't look like a bird's best before leaving the bathroom.

When I came out, Dante wasn't in the room. Wearing my dinosaur slippers; yes I brought them before coming, I left the room.

When I went to where everyone was, I saw a huge table of breakfast in the middle of the room.

Ahhhh....foooodd....

I saw Dante, Alex, Noah, Liam and Dominic standing in a group and taking. Wanting to trouble Liam, since I hadn't seen him in a long time.

Making a beeline straight to their direction, I jumped on Liam's back and at the same time shouted,"Hello, my beloved Romeo !"

Liam held the back of my legs and replied, "Hello, my Juliet."

The rest of guys, except Dante and Alex, looked at us in surprise.

"What ?" I asked.

"Nothing......" They said at the same exact time.

Creeeeppyyyy....

"Good Morning, Noah." I nodded at him. "Good Morning, Dom." I said, looking at him.

"Dom ?" He questioned, referring to the nickname I just gave him.

"Yeah. Dommiiimiiiniiiic is too long to say." I said, dragging his name.

Dante chuckled at us and walked away, probably to use the bathroom, I thought.

Liam put me down and then I hugged Alex too saying, "Hello there. How are you doing ?"

"I'm good, Piccolo. You ?" He asked, hugging me back.

"I'm good, just being attacked by Elijah and Dmitri from time to time, you know, the usual." I said, sarcastically.

"Don't worry. We'll take them down. It's just the matter of time." Alex assured me.

I nodded and then when Dante came back, all of us, including ask of the people at the warehouse ate breakfast.

A while later, when I was doing research on Elijah on the couch, in the room, Dante came in.

"You want to practice fighting now ?" He asked, leaning on the doorframe.

I was lazy to do so now, but if I needed to learn how to fight.

"Yeah. I'm coming." I said, getting out of the couch.

"I'll be waiting for youuuuu....." Dante said, dragging the last word.

Changing into a more suitable outfit, that consisted of a plain white t-shirt and gray leggings, I made my way to towards the gym.

As I got closer, I heard very faint thuds; like something was being hit continuously.

Opening the door to the gym, I was me with the sight of a shirtless Dante wearing gym shorts hitting the punching bag.

His body was glistening with sweat that was all over his biceps and along his very toned abs that went down to his v-line.

Looking at him, I felt my face turning red. Not wanting him to see me, I walked into the gym.

He smiled when he looked towards my direction."You came ! I thought I would have to drag you here." He said.

"I'm not that lazy, Dante...." I said, tying up my hair into a ponytail.

He hummed and said, "Alright. Let's start."

He gave me punching gloves and wore a pair himself. Getting into the ring, with a straight face, he said, "Punch Me."

"Gladly." I replied, smirking at him.

I punched him but he didn't seem to move an inch with that. He kept telling me to punch him over and over.

"Harder !"

"Harder, Azalea !"

"Come on. Really ?"

"That's all you got ?"

"You're such a loser ! You punch like little girl."

Oh he did not just say that !

That's when I punched him, hard. By hard, I mean like, really hard.

This time he actually stumbled a little and you know what I did ?

I took this opportunity to pushed him to the ground. Ha, take that, sucker !

Before I could register what was happening, I was pinned to the ground.

Dante was partially sitting on me, but hadn't put all of his weight on me. His hands were on my wrists, preventing me from moving.

"Try to get out." Dante said, a little breathless.

"Heh ?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"Free yourself." He clarified.

Okaaayy...then...

I tried wriggling and moving but nothing worked.

Ugghh....how do I get this lump off of me ?

Thinking of an idea, I inwardly smiled. I looked straight into his eyes, not breaking eye contact and slowly but carefully, twisted and bucked my hips causing him to lose his balance and stumble to the ground. Dante rolled and sat up.

"In your face ! I won." I said, happily.

"I let you win, Azalea." Dante said, sitting up.

"I won fair and square." I said, getting up and drinking water.

"You're not bad, you know...." He said, walking towards me.

"I know, honey. But, thanks." I smiled.
