Running Blind

Chapter 3

Ivy had begun to settle into the small little cottage. Rayland, Finn, and I had begun to settle into this life as well. We had begun to go soft. We could still fight the same, but we weren't heartless anymore.

I walked into the house to smell the sweet smell of Ivy. She was in the kitchen making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"You like your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches don't you baby." I said with a smile as I wrapped my arms around her.

"Mhmm. And you are keeping me from making it." She said and elbowed me lightly in the stomach.

I opened my mouth and smiled.

She turned around, "What?! I want to eat my peanut butter and jelly sandwich!"

"Ok." I said, turned on my heel and walked into the living room.

"What. I don't even get a kiss?" She asked.

"Nope. You are to busy making your sandwich." I stated.

She huffed and crossed her arm. I looked over and smiled at her. Then she jogged over with a big smile on her face. She jumped onto my lap and looked up at me laughing.

"Your obnoxious sometimes." I laughed.

"I know." She said and wrapped her arms around my neck.

I chuckled and gave her a kiss on her forehead. I did love her. She brought out parts of me that I didn't think existed.

"Hey. Can you train me with the other people?" She asked one afternoon.

"Baby. I don't know."

"Aw come no!" She whined.

"You can come with us and if you want to try it bad enough you can." I said.

She jumped up and did a victory dance. I chuckled.

The next morning Ivy had made bacon and eggs. She smiled at me when I walked out with bed head. I walked around her and placed a kiss on the top of her head. I pulled the fridge open and grabbed orange juice. I kicked the fridge closed and grabbed a glass out of the cabinet and poured the orange juice. Ivy stuck a piece of bacon in my face and I smiled. I opened my mouth and she placed it in my mouth. When I just stood there and looked at her. She laughed. I reached up and grabbed the bacon and took a bite out of it.

After I ate I went back into my room and got dressed. Then brushed my teeth and hair and walked out. Ivy was standing by the door with her sweater and boots on. I pulled my shoes on and opened the door. She walked out and I right after her. She snatched my hand in hers as we walked. She followed me into the woods where we trained. We walked out into the clearing and some of the guys looked over and widened their eyes.

"Hey Tim!" Rayland called from across the field.

I looked over at him, "Yeah?"

"Ivy gonna train with us?" He asked.

"If she wants to I guess." I said.

"Alright."

"Also. If she fights against you, don't let her win." I stated.

I got an elbow in the stomach for that, "What? Its not training if they let you win babe." I smiled down at her.

She crossed her arms.

As usual Asher and I started the day out with us two fighting. We were pretty evenly matched now that he had learned more from me. He probably would be a rank 2 or 3. The training started to come to a close and Ivy still just watched. I stood off to the side to see whom she was watching. Carter. She was watching his every move.
