Bedelia came up to her room after lunch with Jace just to see a redheaded girl standing over her window.
"Hi, the girl greeted with a smile on her face.
"Who and what are you doing in my room! Bedelia demanded and stared at the girl with disdain.
"I'm your new roommate Kira" she said cheerfully and made her way toward Bedelia with an extended hand to greet her but watched her backed away instantly in a confused state.
"What do you mean you mean by that? Elia breath quicken as she stared at the red hair girl in front of her.
"Getty assigned this room to me"
Kira said care freely failing to understand Bedelia fear.
"She wouldn't dare, I'm sure theirs other free rooms in the building"
But she knows that the girl in front of her was the wrong person to speak to at this moment.
And within a seconds Elia found herself racing down the stairs, she wasn't going to allow Getty make decisions that was going to ruin her.
Bedelia flung the door open as she walked into Getty office, she didn't give a damn at the moment.
"What did you do? She asked as soon as she was standing in front of her desk. "Excuse me, young lady? Getty glared up at her, needing an explanation to her mannerless intrude.
"I need my room back, Mam" Bedelia demanded as she stared angrily at her and she wasn't going to take no for an answer.
"You don't have the right to tell me how to run my facility, Bedelia"
"And I think I have the right to my privacy! She fumed and tried to get a hold of herself.
"Sure, you can still have your privacy...with her around"
"That's nonsense, Mrs Getty, I need my room back, I can't be in a room with a red hair stranger!
"You'll get to know her Bedelia, just give her some time like you did for Jace"
"Jace is different....and why don't I save you the stress , why don't you consider placing I and Jace as roommate that would be fair, right?
Getty stared at get for a while, she knows earlier that it was going to be this hard "No, it won't be" she replied.
"Why not, I prefer Jace than any other human, Mrs Getty!
"I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way, I added strict order on the sleeping routine"
"But we do that a lot of times, so what's the different now?
"I think this conversation is over" Getty said waving her off and tried to focus back on her filed on her desk.
"You wouldn't continue with this madness right? Bedelia felt the heat of disdain spread through her guts.
"Bedelia, leave my office" Getty looked up from her files to dismiss her, she wouldn't have her rattling on and on about a decision that wasn't made by he.
"But...She tried to speak again, to tell her thousands reason she doesn't need a roommate but Getty had heard enough.
"Leave! Getty held up her palm to shut her off and when she hesitate to leave "Leave now, Bedelia! Getty yelled this time and finally got her to leave slamming the door behind her, she had quiet a temper.
Bedelia stood out her office for some minutes and contemplated on what to do next, she finally made her way to Jace's, he was the only one she could speak to at this moment.
Bedelia passed the oily faded walls then took the old stairs case that creaks below her as she made her way up to his room. it was dark already but she was thankful for the dim light that lit the terrible shaped hallway that leads to Jace's at least Getty did right by not switching it off yet.
She pushed the door to his room opened just to see him on his stomach with a book in front of him.
"You're not asleep yet? he asked when he saw her standing by the door, of course, she was supposed to be in bed by now.
"I have a new roommate" that was the first word that left her mouth despite having a lot to say.
"A new roommate? that nice, you've never had one before".
"There's nothing nice about it, Jace! She yelled and slammed the door behind her as she walks inside his room.
"I think this is a way, Getty gets to punish us for disobeying her rules, it doesn't makes any sense right? I can't even imagine being in my room with another human in it!
She was so engrossed in her thoughts and speech and could only noticed when Jace embraced her "You've said enough, Bedelia, I know how much you disdain other people and you're aware that Getty wouldn't change her mind on her decision...
"How can I live knowing my privacy had been rubbed from me, Jace! "It fine, we'll sort it out"
"I just can't... instantly she felt his palm over her mouth, why was he covering her mouth? she struggle to free herself from his hold but arm felt like a solid rock and she was left with his body against hers.
"I told you, you've said enough" he whispered in her ears, as much as I wanted to argue with him , she felt a wavering peace being on his body and listening to voice.
"I know you disdain a lot of people and Getty would try her best to reach for your weakness, the only thing you had to do now is pretend that you're still living alone...that you have all the privacy in the world... make the other human invincible in your eyes, if that would make you feel better"
He spunned her around and pinned her body in his embrace, she let my eyes admire the grey eyes staring down at her. it just made her realized how lucky she was to have him, she couldn't argue or struggle under his gaze and slowly she watched him let go of his grip.
"I don't think that would be easy to do, Jace" Bedelia said and allowed her body to succumb to his and slowly she felt her anger drizzle away like it was never there.
"it is, Bedelia... if you try" "I guess, so? she shrugged and made a pretensed sad face at him.
Hey! don't make that face" he laughed and poked her head playfully, she felt better being here, being in his arm knowing that there's someone here for her, someone who wouldn't judge her for being vulnerable around him.
"I think I'll like to meet your new roommate" he winked at her and got a disdain look in return "Don't be do creepy" she said and pushed him out of the way.
But of course, Jace ended up walking Bedelia to her room and got the chance to meet her new room mate.
"Hi ! she greeted with the same smile she greeted me with.
"I'm sorry for coming to your room unannounced, Getty assigned me to this room, so I thought it would be cool to check it out immediately.
Jace turns to stare at me with a raised eyebrows, he should quit making me feel guilty.
"It's not my place to decide who comes and goes in here, so... it's okay, no need to apologize" Bedelia said abstractly as she shrugged off her boot and climbed into the bed.
"My name is Kira by the...way" Bedelia heard the girl said to Jace and couldn't ignore rowling her eyes.
"Nice to meet you too Kira" She could sense the tension from both of them while on my bed and before he left for his room, she heard him mouth a goodnight to her.
Jace knew how difficult this was for Bedelia, associating with people wasn't in the list of things she could so and also no one could really withstand her temper.
All these years, he thought that Getty understood, that's why he kept lots of children away from her but why these sudden decision. Elia wasn't a villain... really, she was just bad in controlling her emotions, which he was used to now because he was the only one that really understand her.
He headed back to his room and was shocked to see someone already there.
"Can, I help you? he asked staring at the stranger in his bedroom.
"I'm Evan...your new roommate" now this was getting interesting Jace thought as he watched his new roommate, the only reason Getty could had done this was because they broke the rules and to ensure they never go against her again...she sent spies!
