Flames of Courage Stand alone book

CH 13 Easy

Blake's POV-

Easy. It's really simple, things have been easy for a couple weeks and I keep waiting for the floor to drop out from under me. But no things are just easy. I don't feel like my life has ever really been easy so I am unaccustomed to this natural flow of life with no hiccups what so ever.

Since I was a kid my life has been hard. My parents both are doctors and I can't imagine why they thought it was a good idea to have a kid then basically completely ignore me. I went from nannies straight to day care to school barely seeing my parents because of their crazy schedules pretty much taking care of myself most of the time.

I thought school would be so much better but I was so wrong. I was small for my age and definitely had the bone structure of a girl and I loved my long hair dirty blonde hair. But it made me an easy target in grade school I was called a girl and fag before I even knew what the word meant. The being ruffed up by the other boys didn't start getting bad until middle school.

But by then I had cut off my luscious locks and tried to be more manly but I was still small and thin and I hated that guys like Masen would try to stick up for me. It only made me feel more like the girl all my class mates accused me of being.

Then in high school I went to a boot camp just to bulk up to make my lengthily body filled out. From that day on no one fucked with me any more about my looks. Just when I thought everything was starting to look better for me my best friend starting acting weird with me and becoming distant.

It took me a while to figure out Masen had feelings for me and that was what made our friendship awkward. And by the time I figured it out I was half in love with him myself. Then Jenny happened and everything since then has been a crazy spiral of ups and downs. So these last few weeks of having it be easy have me on edge waiting for the fallout.

Even having sex with a man has been easy. Well Bette than easy, I made love to Masen and I let him explore me a little bit with out going all the way after we got Mark to leave that day weeks ago when everything just fell into place in my life. And now weeks later everything is still fine and just.. Easy.

Even with looking for homes to rent or possibly buy with Masen was easy. Making an offer on a nice three bedroom house close to Mark and Gideon was also very easy. And when our offer was excepted packing up and moving into our new place was relatively easy with all our friends and families help we were moved and unpacked in a week.

So you can see why I feel like maybe everything has been a little too easy. The only thing left on mine and Masen's list of things we wanted in the future is to get our dog which is what we are driving to do right now.

I'm driving my SUV and Masen is messing with the radio and just being his excited angsty self while I just try to figure out what I have done to deserve all this good in my life right now.

Masen grabs my hand on the center console and gives it a squeeze. "What are you so deep in thought about over there?" Masen chuckles.

I smile and pull his knuckles to my lips and kiss his hand softly. "Just our life babe and how easy everything has been going over the last month and a half. I still can't believe we bought a house."

Masen smiles. "Well when my parents and gramps gave us a thirty percent down payment it made everything go smoothly and rather quickly."

I nod still feeling quite uncomfortable about that still. I had argued with all four of the Devorex men and they had shot down every excuse not to give us the money. Mark was the clincher saying by giving us that extra money allowed us to afford a home only two blocks over from him would help him sleep at night.
