Wolf of Stone novel Chapter 16

She dumped the bags on the floor and clapped her hands in excitement.

I rolled my eyes at her enthusiasm and dumped the bags I had on the floor as well. I went back to curl myself up on the sofa and watched as Liza ravaged through the bags, muttering to herself.

"Shaver... shaver... where did I put that thing?"

I glanced over at Axil who stared at Liza curiously, probably wondering what she was doing.

A sigh escaped my lips and I suddenly felt fatigue as the events that occurred today flashed before my eyes. I was tired, my head was slightly throbbing and my body felt weak.

My eyes began to droop.

"So... Axil, why were you trapped under stone? Who did it?" Liza asked as she continued looking through her stuff.

As Axil began to retell his story again, I found myself dozing off to the sound of his deep voice as it lulled me to sleep.

When I finally woke up, it was bright outside... which confused me because I remembered the sky darkening before I fell asleep.

Don't tell me I had slept through the entire night?

Did that mean that I missed out on Liza's makeover of Axil?

And why was I in my room?

I groaned and shielded my eyes from the sun that shone through my bedroom window. Sluggishly turning to my side and cuddling deeper into bed. Why I got there wasn't important at the moment, I just wanted to sleep more. My eyes were burning and closing them was their only salvation.

Five more minutes... just five more minutes then I'll face the world of responsibilities on my shoulders.

My belly grumbled.

I groaned and rolled over onto my back, squinting up at the ceiling gloomily.

My limbs felt heavy as if they didn't want me to start moving anytime soon, they just wanted me to lay there... do nothing... ah that sounded so nice.

My belly grumbled again.

"I heard you the first time dammit." I grumbled and rubbed my tummy. It felt like I hadn't eaten in ages.

I sat up in bed and stretched my hands above my head, hearing the relieving crack from my shoulders before sighing.

Liza rolled her eyes and went to dump out the eggs onto a plate, "Of course not. I just shaved all that excess hair he had going on. Dude looked like a freaking caveman."

I chuckled and nodded. He really did look like a caveman.

The toaster pinged, signalling that the bread was finished. Liza took out the bread and placed two onto the plate of eggs and bacon before passing it to me. I mumbled a thanks and dug right in. Liza turned back to place more bread into the toaster.

"I gotta admit though, he is one handsome mother fucker under all that hair. I swear to god my heart almost gave out when I saw him like damn girl, even my kitty tingled."

I rolled my eyes at her exaggerated description, already accustomed to her fangirling moment over good looking guys.

I changed the subject, "where is he anyway?"

Liza shrugged, "he's up in his room. I already called him down for breakfast, so he'll be down soon."

I nodded and chewed on my bread, "that's good," then the kitchen fell in silence as Liza finished up and placed her and Axil's plate on the counter as well. She poured out some orange juice into three glasses and handed one to me.

"Thanks," I said just as I glimpsed someone in the corner of my eyes.

"Good morning," his voiced travelled through the room and wrapped itself around my body, causing me to tense up slightly as the butterflies in my stomach erupted.
