I wake up in the morning with the sun shining through the window. With the dream still fresh on my mind, I brush my fingertips across my lips. Suddenly a thought comes to my mind, today is training day!

With a jolt I get off the couch, not looking where I'm going and trip over the sleeping figure on the floor. I now find myself sprawled out across the floor. The figure I hit slowly sits up with the groan I suddenly realized I tripped over Jax.

Jax looks at me on the floor and chuckles underneath his breath. He slowly stumbles up, using the couch for support. He yawns loudly and raises his arms above his head stretching, and his tan, toned, stomach peeks out from underneath his shirt. He starts walking towards the door and says "I should probably go get some breakfast and some clean clothes for practice. I'll be back in about ten minuets."

When he's almost to the door I say to him,"Yeah that's probably a good idea."

Soon Jax is out the door and I'm still sitting on the ground wondering why I'm laying here. I stand up and dust off the non-existent dirt for my clothing. I sit back on the couch and try to be patient as I wait for him. Not really thinking I start to hum. I soon realized that I'm humming the song Radioactive. Now I'm full out singing with the imaginary band in my mind, before I know it, Jax walks back into the living room with a box of Fruit Loops and two pairs of clothes over his shoulder.

He laughed as my singing stops and says,"No don't stop because of me. I haven't heard someone sing that way for a while now! You have an amazing voice."

I blush at the complement and look away from him. He walks up to me and hands me the clothes, he must have got from my bag in the car. I mumble a quick thank you and flee to the bathroom leaving him to get dressed in a different room. I put on my black pants and skull t-shirt. As I pull on my shoes and look in the mirror. God, I'm so pale and my hair looks even darker because of it.

I walked back into the living room to see him pulling on his shirt over his head. I make a embarrassing squeaking sound and quickly turn around so he doesn't see how much I'm blushing. I can hear him walking toward me but I keep my gaze steady with the wall.

He stopped behind me and puts his hand on my shoulder. He says "Don't do that. Don't turn away." his voice gets quieter," I actually prefer to see you. I love to see you blush."

At his words I blush even more but turn around. He was standing closer to me than I thought. I can see the bright blue flecks in his eyes. He suddenly smiles brightly, probably by my willingness to turn around. He brings his hand up hesitantly and puts his hand on my cheek. I freeze in my place, my bones locking, as Jax slowly rubes his thumb across my cheek bone. He smiles sweetly at me.

He says in a hushed whisper, as if to not startle me," Come on, its time for training. William will kill us if we miss the first defense class he's teaching. That is if Dylan doesn't get to us first."And with that he flashes me a quick smirk, and turns to the door and starts walking.

Still frozen in shock at his actions I  only stares dumbly after him as he walks away. Now at the door, Jax looks at me and waves his hand to make me follow. Suddenly pulled out of by daze I stumble after him.The only thing that seems to come to my mind is that I never got to eat any of the fruit loops.

Its a short walk to the "training ground" the twins, Dylan, and Wil assembled last night but to me it felt like an eternity. Millions of questions are buzzing around in my head. Like, Why did he touch me? Does he really like it when I blush? And, Why was he acting like this? Does he like me or something?
