Lou's POV I woke up and felt extremely comfortable. I sit up in a big king sized bed and look around. The room was small but had a big bed. I stood up slowly and instantly felt cold in my short dress. I walked towards nicely folded clothes and saw a big sweater. I put it on and immediately recognized the smell of Eric. I must have fallen asleep last night. Will he be angry? I hope not. I opened the door and nervously pulled at the sleeves of a sweater. I heard someone in the kitchen and walked to it. I saw Eric already dressed, making breakfast. He turned around and smiled. He looked at the sweater and I blushed. "I hope you don't mind. I was cold." Eric shook his head. "It's okay. Sit. I'm making breakfast." I sat on a chair and sighed. "I'm sorry I fell asleep. And took your bed." Eric chuckled. I liked that sound. "It's okay. I don't mind. Did you sleep well?" I smiled and nodded. "I did. Thank you." He put two plates with eggs and bacon on table and I smiled. "Smell wonderful and I'm starving." Eric smiled. "Enjoy." After breakfast we were sitting on couch and talking. He was telling me about his initiation. I was surprised when he said he was from Erudite. Suddenly there is a knock on the door and Eric went to open it. I heard Four and him arguing. I walked out of room. Four was holding Eric by the collar. "If you hurt her..." I smiled. "Hey, Four." He turned to me and sighed in relief. "Did he hurt you?" I shook my head, my smile slipped. "No! Eric was very nice to let me stay here. I fell asleep and he let me stay." Four glanced confused at Eric. "He let you stay?" I smiled and nodded. "It was sweet of him. He even let me take the bed." Eric smirked a bit and Four sighed. "Okay. Tomorrow, Stage 2, 8 o'clock, sharp." I smiled and hugged him around the middle. "Thank you for looking out for me." Four kissed my head and smiled. "You are like a little sister. I feel the need to protect you. Just please be careful." I nodded. "I will. You too." He nodded and with one last glare in Eric's direction he left the room. Eric turned to me. "What's happening with you and Four?" I smiled softly. "He is my family. Like a big brother. Nothing else." Eric nodded. "Do you want me to take you to initiates' room?" I shook my head. "It's okay. I can go myself. Thanks for letting me stay the night, Eric." I took of his sweater and gave it to him. I reached up and he leaned a bit down and I pressed a small kiss on his cheek. "Thank you for everything. See you tomorrow." Eric nodded and I swear I saw him blush a little. "See you tomorrow, Lou."
