Point of View: Ghost Bird
Smiling, I watch the stunned male look from Aaron to myself and then back to Aaron as he tries to decide what to do. The silly dog lets out a loud bark and the male looks stunned. Thankfully the door to the office at the top of the stairs opens and a familiar figure steps out. Those bright blue eyes meet mine and I give an easy smile as they widen in surprise. "Good Morning." I state simply and Aaron wags his tail as Rafa makes his way down the steps.
"Good Morning." Rafa states simply in return drawing the red heads attention.
"Ah! Mr. Rafa! Good Morning!" He stumbles nervously. "I was just finishing up the paper work when Aaron appeared with-" The male glances to me and I give a small smile.
"We were just on a run and Aaron rushed up the steps. Seems he is very popular." I repeat not filling in the blank as I look to Rafa who still looks surprised. Aaron quickly gets to his hind feet and places his paws on the front desk. Startling the red head once more, he is quick to hand over a biscuit. I watch as Aaron sits back down and munches on the snack. That made more sense.
"The boys usually bring him when they come in the mornings." Rafa states and I smirk slowly drawing my eyes away from Aaron and to Rafa.
"Explains why he was in such a hurry." I smile and glance around the room for a moment before looking back to Rafa. "You did a wonderful job renovating."
"Thank you." Rafa states simply. "You are welcome to work out. The boys should be here in a few moments."
Taking a moment to mull it over, my eyes settle on Aaron who has already laid out at the foot of the desk as he chews on the biscuit. Looking to Rafa, I give a smile and nod. "Thank you. I would enjoy that." Rafa nods and I glance to the red head who looks like a dear in head lights.
Moving toward the punching bags, I find a set of tape and neon pink gloves that seem to be about my size. Taping up, I velcro on the gloves before throwing a couple of jabs. Smiling, I throw a couple more and slowly work my way up to a normal routine of punches, kicks, jabs, and crosses. Panting, I can't help the smile plastered on my face as sweat runs down my face. When was the last time I had actually had a chance to workout?
Lost in my mojo, I finally stop my routine when I hear the front door close. Pausing, I turn finding not only Mikael, Jose, Danny, Ari, and Max but Zach and Kyle. "Aaron?" Jose calls out surprised and I move to greet them.
"Good Morning." I smile easily and Jose is quick to bounce over to me a huge smile on his face.
"What are you doing here?!" He smiles hanging onto my shoulder as I bite the strap on the gloves and pull one off. Sweating I keep my distance instead of giving the usual hug.
"He means good morning Izzy." Ari rolls his eyes smiling and I smirk.
"Yeah, yeah good morning. What are you doing here?" Jose rushes. Laughing I smile at Jose's impatience.
"Hmmmm in a gym, sweaty, removing boxing gloves..." Max teases and Danny snickers. Jose is quick to rush after Danny and I can't hold back a laugh as Zach and Kyle look startled.
"Aaron and I went on our usual morning jog. Little did I know he now requires a morning treat and decided to bring us on a detour to fill his stomach." I smirk glancing to the red head who blushes as I pull off the other glove. "Rafa was kind enough to let me work out for a bit since you all would be stopping by."
Danny smirks and takes a quick step forward before throwing a punch which I easily catch. Almost instantly I watch as Kyle tenses and Zach's eyes go wide. "Still keeping up with it old lady." Danny distracts and I smirk twist his wrist making him let out a gasp before quickly letting him go.
"Old lady my ass Daniel." I smirk as he laughs shaking out his hand.
"As good as ever." Danny smirks flexing his fingers without any issue and I slip my hands into my pockets once more.
"Sticking around?" My eyes slip to Mikael who had been leaning down petting Aaron. Searching his grey eyes, I study him for a moment finding a mix of raging emotions.
"You are more than welcome to join us." Kyle states easily and I turn meeting those sharp brown eyes. I can see the curiosity lingering in them and something bubbles inside the pit of my stomach. Smiling teasingly I turn to Mikael.
"I can if you want me to," Reaching up, I brush a bead of sweat away with the back of my sweatshirt sleeve. "How long do you all usually work out?" I glance to Kyle who nods to Zach. Surprised, I smile and look to the male who quickly swallows.
"Depends upon what you are looking for." Zach states but is quickly interrupted by Jose who comes rushing over with Danny.
"Oh! Izzy you should have him work up a program for you!!" He bounces excitedly and Ari rolls his eyes at the exuberant amount of energy the younger radiates.
Frowning, I glance to Max who smiles nodding. "Zach makes programs for us in order to help us strengthen our bodies in whatever way we want to improve."
Impressed, I look to Zach who is slightly pink at the praise from the boys. "That does sound very intriguing." I smile shifting my weight from one foot to another excited. I was a complete gym bunny when I wasn't off doing missions kept my head distracted. "What would you need from me?"
