(Three days later)
"Youre getting better at this, Luce." Bentley says as we finish up training.
We've been training for four days. We've cut it into two segments where I would join the rest of the pack for basic defense skills, then Dana, Bentley, and myself would practice my Guardian powers.
"Thanks, but now I'm super tired." I say wiping sweat off my forehead.
"Well yeah that was expected. Let's go home and shower."
He says jutting his head towards the door.
I nod and follow him out.
Dana has been trying to help me keep the shield up. I would get really frustrated when I couldn't do it, but Dana being the great friend she is would help me through it.
"Hi Guys!" I turn to see Skipper and Blake running towards us.
"Whats up?" Bentley reolies, while I smile. Too tired to speak.
"We just got back from school shopping. My feet hurt so bad." Skipper says.
I roll my eyes. She's tired from shopping all day while I was getting thrown around, and getting mentally drained.
"You ready for school?" Bentley asks as we keep walking.
"Yes!" Skipper squeals.
"No." Blake groans.
I chuckle.
"Well we got to get back to my house, Blake's coming over for dinner." Skipper says patting Blake's shoulder.
"Have fun." I say flatly as the wall away.
Bentley and I walk in silence towards our house.
"Why were like 'eh' just a minute ago?" Bentley says looking at me.
I smirk, "Eh?"
"Yes 'eh' you looked bothered by their presence." He says.
"Bentley, I've been working out physically and mentally for four days. I'm tired. I smell and I just want to go home and shower." I say walking a bit faster.
"Well you dont have to be a grumpy pants about it." I hear him sigh.
I roll my eyes and speed off to the house.
I walk straight to my room, into the bathroom. And with out hesitation my close are off and I'm in the cold bath.
My muscle start to relax as I sink in.
Just then I hear scratching at the door, then Brooklyn and Bronx come charging through.
They place their giant paws on the edge of the tub and begin to smother me in slobbery kisses.
"You know if I wasn't lazy, I'd push you guys off." I mumble as then begin to drink my bathwater.
"You guys are gross." I say splashing them. They playfully bark then run out.
I close my eyes and lay my head back letting the silence consume me.
After fifteen minutes of sitting there I begin to form goosebumps.
I quickly wash my hair and body and step out.
I wrap a fluffy towel around my body then walk out to my bed.
I flop face first.
My door then opens.
"You okay?" Bentleys voice says as I feel his presence come near.
I try to say yes but its gets muffled by my pillow.
I turn my head.
"Can you grab me pajamas?"
"Yeah."
I then turn onto my back to see that Bentley has on a pair of sweatpants, no shirt and his head wrapped in a towel.
I laugh.
He turns to me with one of his big longsleeves, and my undergarments.
"What?" He asks handing me the clothes.
I shake my head.
He sighs, then walks out.
I put on the underwear and bra and then the longsleeve.
I then braid my hair, then walk down stairs.
Bentley is sitting in the couch watching The Olympics.
I sit down and place my legs over him.
He gasps at my touch.
"Luce, you're freezing!" He says pulling me onto his lap.
He pulls me close, so that my head is resting on his chest.
He shivers as I ball up to him. Hes so warms and smells amazing.
He takes the blanket beside him and wraps it around us two.
I lift my head, into the crook of his neck and inhale his lovely scent.
I begin to doze off, my body warming up from his.
I sleep there in his arms for a while, not knowing how long when his phone rings.
He growls, leaning to the side to pick it up.
"Hello?" He says all groggily. He must have fell asleep as well.
"What? Now?" He says a little more awake.
I open my eyes and look up at him. His face shows anger and annoyance.
"Okay." He says flatly then hangs up.
"Who was that?" I ask pulling the blanket up.
"Greyson. The Council would like to see us." He says .
"When?" I ask.
"Tonight."
I sit up.
"Youre kidding." I say staring at him.
"I wish I was." He says.
I then get up and stalk up the stairs.
I grab a pair of sweatpants, socks and my boots. Then walk back down stairs.
"Youre going to wear that?" Bentley asks cautiously.
"Yes i am. Is there a problem?" I ask looking down at my outfit.
Baggy tshirt, sweatpants, my hair is in a messy bun. I look basic but I don't care. I am not waiting a good outfit on these wack jobs who want to steal my child.
Bentley stays quiet.
I nod.
"I'll be in the car." I say then I slam the door.
Why must everyone get on my nerves today? All i want to do is relax and sleep. But i guess not.
I stomp to the car, slamming that door aswell.
I beep the horn, opening the door.
"Hurry up! We're stopping at Dunkin Donuts!" I shout.
Im in desperate need of a caramel iced coffe.
Basic, I know.
