Hi guys, welcome to Rhyme 19 :3

This part jumps from the last chapter by a few months (I think there's gonna be another time jump later in the book as well but I'll let you know when it comes up :3). As you can probably tell from the title, it's about a storm in LA and Levi gets a bit scared so asks Evra if he can crawl in with her and Aryia and it's probably one of the cutest parts of the book so far, so I hope you all enjoy it :3

I've also written half of the important chapter I was talking about last week since I've been focusing on another book for my fanfiction.net account and settling back into uni so apologies if I'm not updating for a while but there will still be another few weeks of chapters and I'll still be writing in between my classes and assignments, so don't worry if you're looking forward to updates as they'll still be coming along weekly :3

Once again, I hope you all enjoy this chapter 😊

Aryia and I sat quietly and close to each other on the living room couch as the night wore on. Levi was already asleep with his head on my lap. It had been two months since he'd turned two and droplets of rain were hammering on the windows and roof outside. We'd been given a storm warning in LA and it had started that afternoon and the room was slightly dim, only being lit by the TV which Aryia and I were watching. Kévin and Eileen were currently in sunny Senegal and I definitely envied them with our current weather.

We looked at each other and let unspoken words pass between us as we communicated with our eyes before we both got up and Aryia carried Levi into his room while I shut off the TV and followed him. He placed Levi in his bed and drew up his dark blue covers with the white star patterns and gently stroked his cheek before I kissed him on the forehead and tucked him in a little more with his teddies, leaving his door open slightly before we quietly went into our bedroom next door.

We'd all changed into our pajamas earlier in the evening after we'd showered, so didn't need to change again when we laid down together, but we didn't go to sleep yet, instead deciding to stay up with me reading the next book in the Kings of Sin series and my boyfriend was emailing a merch company about a few designs he had in mind for the album he was working on. It was a simple design but the company wasn't giving a straight answer which had been really annoying. It also reminded me that I needed to finish my next cover piece since I'd finally convinced Aryia to duet All I Ask of You with me for my YouTube channel almost two years after we'd initially seen The Phantom of the Opera.

Aryia looked over at me once he'd put his phone on the bedside table. I was absorbed in my novel but still noticed him when he looked at me and shifted to move closer to me and kiss me teasingly on the cheek. I smiled but kept on reading, deciding to tease him back by at least finishing my current page. He caught on pretty quickly, figuring out that I was playing hard to get and started to kiss me on the cheek, neck and arm even more.

"Ary~" I giggled playfully from his teasing.

"What?" He asked with a cheeky smile.

"What're you doing?"

"Don't you know what day it is?" He asked in response as I bookmarked my current page for later and set my book on the bedside table while wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Yeah." I nodded. "It's Saturday."

"And you know what that means."

I blushed. "I remember."

"Glad you did." He beamed, kissing me deeply on the lips as he lowered us down the bed.

...

I was woken up in the middle of the night by something small prodding my back in quick succession.
