The Girl That No One Noticed...

Chapter 54

It had been a month. A whole freaking month of happy non death threat healing for Nathan and me, I was honestly shocked it had been so uneventful. The guys had been on other Academy related cases that needed them while me and Nathan usually hung out at someones house and relaxed. I had healed up nice and quick enough but Nate seemed to be taking longer than expected and no one liked that at all, especially Nathan himself since he wasn't aloud to help train or anything while injured. 

I sort of felt sorry for him but on the other hand the moment Sean gave me the all clear I had jumped at the chance to start my morning runs again and let me train with the others to improve and perfect my fighting skills, I hadn't exactly dragged my feet. As a matter of fact I had jumped head first into my runs, happy to be running with all three of my pets again thanks to Uncle Phil and having at least one of the guys join me each morning wasn't horrible. The training had been a little harder for them to accept considering I went up against unknown Academy guys more than twice my size and they never went easy on me, I didn't want them too. 

North gave one guy that got a little to rough a good tongue lashing before I intervened and lashed my own at North for stepping in when I hadn't wanted him to, training was training, of course it would get rough sometimes. Another thing I found myself slowly getting used to other than the company of the amazingly hot Academy boys was the fact that I was noticing their affections towards me a lot more forward now. I came down to breakfast one morning and the Russian, crazy tattooed fool that he is came and planted a kiss right on my lips in front of everyone. 

I had stood there, a complete sputtering speechless mess as I turned into a human tomato, I ended up eating my oatmeal in silence that morning despite the blush in my cheeks and the Russian chuckles and 'sweet talk' at my side. I was also very used to sitting in random laps now since every single time I was with them and there was a chair, no make that any flat surface in the room one of them found a way to make an excuse to keep me in their laps for that moment in time. 

I was growing more and more comfortable with opening my heart to these 14 amazing guys that returned my feelings for them and I was terrified that I was going to be waking up any second and crying my eyes out to find everything had been a dream. From the sweet smiles, blushes, teasing and laughing, to every night with two of them sharing my bed. I couldn't count the amount of times I had come in close contact with their 'morning wood' being somewhere in the vicinity of my person, and yet each time I caught one of them with THAT issue I couldn't help but go beet red, it certainly didn't help knowing I was at the very least 'part' of the cause for it. 

In all honesty though I had been living the good life this past month and my runs and training had only been making it better. With the guys all showing their affections more openly now I was getting to know them in ways I never thought possible, I mean I'd never been one to flirt much if any and with these boys it just came naturally. Just yesterday I had been goofing off with them when Marc walked in completely shirtless and announced a challenge to me. What was the challenge you may be wondering? Well it was a challenge at Mario Kart. What was my answer? Simple, of course I accepted, for one it was Mario Kart, and then the fact that hot, shirtless, drool-worthy Academy guys were an override to my senses. 

In all honesty my reaction was an a firm nod as I pursed my lips, trying and failing to hold back a squeaky 'you're on' as I settled in beside my opponent. The guys all flooded into the room as they chose for me to go up against Corey, Gabriel handed me a controller with a wicked gleam in his eyes and chuckled good luck, I really shouldn't have trusted that, but I did. I asked what the resulting prize would be for the winner, mine would be getting to gloat over them and when they didn't continue what there prize would be I voiced the question again as I eyed them suspiciously.
