Chapter 36 ~ His Family

After a second, the dog sees me and calms down. He crawls over to Elias' lap and sits there. I can tell the dog is observing me because he has his head tilt.

"Stick your hand out slowly towards him." Elias speaks up and I do as he says. I bring my hand closer to the dog slowly and let him sniff me.

It takes a while for the dog to get used to the smell of my hand. After about a minute, the dog starts to get more relaxed and climbs off of Elias lap. He goes towards me and licks the side of my face. I giggle, "Does he bite?' I ask and Elias shakes his head.

"Only if he sees me being hurt by someone." I nod and grab the dog's face. "Dax, right?" I ask and he nods. I start to pet Dax a little more and then he finally brings back his wild side.

He jumps on me and decides to lick all over my face. I giggle as I'm being attacked by this dog. After a while, Dax calms down and lays in the middle of the bed. His back to Elias and his face to me.

Elias kisses his head and heads to the bathroom. He comes out 15 minutes later all showered, dressed, and ready for bed.

I got lost in Dax's face so I was petting him this whole time. After Elias gets in bed and goes on his phone. I take this as a sign to get ready. I go to the bathroom, turn on the shower, and do the rest of my things.

I walk out of the bathroom and see Elias is asleep and has his hand wrapped around Dax. I get into bed and turn to him. I pet Dax on the head and give him a kiss. I whisper a goodnight to both of the boys and drift off into a deep sleep.

☁️

I wake up and Dax is gone, but Elias is still in bed with me. He now has one arm on my stomach and he lays on his stomach. I lay on my back and turn slightly to him.

He doesn't move for a while so I decide to check the time and wake him up. I remove his hand from my body and shake him gently.

"Elias, it's time to get up." I say in a soft voice. He groans as he starts to wake up. He stretches a bit and rubs his eyes. His eyes then land on me and he smiles. "Good morning." He says in his deep morning voice that I just love.

"Morning" I say and comb his hair with my fingers getting all the knots out. I notice we are both in the middle of the bed with a ton of room on either side of us.

After I'm satisfied with his hair I start to get up. Elias pulls me back down and spoons me. "Elias, we have to get up." I say. I think he is doing this on purpose since he knows his sisters and brother are coming over for lunch.

"I don't wanna." He says and I laugh as his breath tickles my neck. "Come on you big baby." I squirm out of his hold. "I will only get up if you give me a kiss." He smirks knowing what he is doing.

I roll my eyes and lean towards him, giving him a peck on the lips. He keeps me longer by holding my hand. He breaks away and smiles and gets up immediately.

That was all I had to do?

☁️

We both got ready for the day and just got done from eating breakfast. Elias takes me to the backyard and I watch as he plays with Dax.

A boy and his dog is the best sight. I can tell they are best friends.

Elias throws the ball to Dax a couple times. By now we have been out here for about an hour and a half.

The sliding door opens and his mom comes out. "Sweetheart, your siblings are here." She says and Elias groans and his mother gives him a death glare.

I wait for Elias to come to me and then we head inside. He takes us to the living room and we wait for everybody to make their way over here.

Elias wraps an arm on the back of the couch aka my back. He crosses his legs and looks at me. I gave him a smile which he returned.

After a good 2 minutes, his parents walk in the living room with people trailing behind them. Elias gets up and hugs them all. He hugs his sisters first and then a tall man.

Him and this tall man seem to look alike so I'm assuming that's his brother. Even though they don't have the same mom, they look just like their dad.

His brother looks like the younger version of his dad, but more older than Elias. He sees me and gives me a smile.

He walks up to me and brings out his hand. "Andrew, Elias' brother, but you can call me Drew." He says, giving me a smirk. I laugh and take his hand, he shakes it and brings my hand to his lips. He gives it a soft peck then pulls away.

"Andrew, behave yourself." Mr. Graham says and Andrew just laughs. "I'm being polite dad." He says like he is pointing out the obvious.

"I know, son, but your brother looks like he wants to kill you. And God knows I won't stop him." Mr. Graham says and we all turn to see Elias giving his brother a 'are you kidding me look'.

Andrew just laughs at this and walks towards the couch and sits next to my spot. I then see his sisters coming to me. They both engulf me in a bear hug. This hug feels like the sister kind of love I get when I hug Abby.

"You're so pretty, no wonder Elias talks about you non stop." One says, "I'm Stella, and this is Nicole." They introduced themselves.

"It's nice to meet you guys." I say and then we all take a seat on the couch. Me sitting in between Andrew and Elias.

I feel kind of suffocated but it's fine. I know that if I need to I can get up.

I am later questioned by Elias' siblings basically about the same things I told Elias' parents.

"A bio professor? Damn." Andrew says but whispers the last part. "Drew" Elias says in a threatening tone.

"My apologies" Drew says and I shake my head. Letting him know it's not a big deal.

The rest of the night goes by smoothly. I'm just nervous to meet his other family. I hope they won't judge me.

A/N

I don't remember the names I gave Elias' siblings and I cant find the chapter that introduced them so sorry if that was confusing.
