The Girl That No One Noticed...

Chapter 59

"Trouble, it's time to wake up." Gabe's morning voice broke through my sleep haze and I groaned back at him in complaint. "Five more minutes." I whined out as I snuggled closer to Luke who was chuckling at my side. I had spent the night between him and Gabe and had no intentions of getting up earlier than needed after the little pissing party last night. After coming back with Raven and telling the guys the exciting news of joining the Academy, I had received varying degrees of response. 

Some like Luke and Gabe were excited, even if Gabe was a little apprehensive saying that I got in enough trouble without the Academy business so he was worried to see what I might get into now. Axel and Owen had quickly offered to make me an official member of their teams as soon as possible which I quickly agreed to. Then there was North. The short of it being that I had to stop him and the Russian from beating the sh*t out of each other, Raven didn't help by goading him either. So yeah. 

The rest of the guys were happy to congratulate me even if they did voice there concerns about my safety, I assured them I would be fine. "Come on Cupcake, we all have to get up." Luke murmured as he jostled me with his shoulder that I'd been using as a pillow. I groaned once more but reluctantly sat up as I frowned to the two guys to show my annoyance. "Come on Cupcake turn that frown upside down. We'll go get some breakfast and then you can have fun getting ready for your date today." Luke urged as I fell back to the bed with a groan, stuffing my face into a pillow with a growl. 

"That's what you think, at least you don't have to be poked and prodded." I huffed as they both chuckled at how the pillow muffled my speech. "Oy! What was that Trouble?" Gabe quipped as I kicked myself free from the bedding and headed for the door. "Nothing. Just let me enjoy my breakfast before the torture commences." I puffed back. "Aren't you going to get dressed first?" Luke asked as I sent a look down at the over sized dark blue t-shirt I was wearing, technically I was still dressed. "Nope." I huffed back as I opened the door and stepped into the hallway with the guys following close behind. 

"Still not a morning person, Peanut?" Nate chuckled at me from the doorway of one of the spare rooms in Owen and Sean's place. I flipped him the bird with both hands in answer, causing chuckles to erupt behind me as I continued my way downstairs to the kitchen and the smell of bacon that awaited me. Marc and Sean each greeted me as I entered and I grunted back still not fully awake as I sent Marc a look that I hope portrayed my thoughts, 'get me coffee or die' and it seemed to work since he handed me a steaming mug a moment later.

I eagerly took a sip and sighed as I snatched some bacon and started to chow down, happily taking the chocolate chip pancakes that Luke offered me. I focused on enjoying a peaceful quiet meal and sipping at my coffee as I blocked out the guys chatter around me. The coffee Marc provided was slowly getting me back to proper working order and I started to cue back in on the boys conversation and added a little comment here and there when it suited me. Before long my coffee was gone then Gabe was ushering me off to shower, I quickly called for Nuka to follow, scratching his head as he trotted up the stairs at my side.

 I washed up quickly and took a few moments to just enjoy the hot water as it relaxed me before hearing the knock at the door and getting out to dry off, slipping into my robe before letting Gabe in to do his thing. He left my hair down naturally draped on my shoulders and gave me a form fitting but comfortable green t-shirt and a pair of skinny but not too skinny jeans, good to see he'd learned the lesson on that. I quickly changed into the outfit and tennis shoes provided before calling Gabe back in from outside the bathroom, I was very thankful that the only make-up I was forced to wear was a little bit of mascara, eye shadow and a tiny bit of that strawberry shortcake lip gloss that I was starting to love.
