" It’s official, Xander, I’m sorry, but I’m going to need to leave early every morning and train with your girl here, otherwise I’m going to get my a*s beat.” We are all laughing as we head in the doors not really paying attention to our surroundings.
" Prince Alexander!” A shrill voice basically shouts.”"Where have you been? We have been looking for you everywhere this morning, you left so abruptly.” A brunette is talking and a blonde is following close behind. I know she means that we left early last night, but her word choice could make people believe that Xander spent the night with her or both of them. I have to hand it to her, she knows what she’s doing.
" Skylar and I decided to go for a run this morning after we got up, you know, keeping up training and all, no matter what frivolous things we have to do. Not all of us can sleep in for those extra beauty hours.” Okay, so Xander has some game too.
I just step back closer to Oscar to let Xander handle these clowns, I'm not in the mood, it’s too early for these catty b* tches.
" Well maybe we can sit together at breakfast this morning since you're all done entertaining and have the freedom to sit with people closer in rank to yourself."
Why do these tramps keep insinuating that I am lower than they are? If they have no rank at all then I outrank them in general. I can feel my temper rising to the surface. I take a deep breath before speaking, I will not let this girl rile me up, she isn't worth it. I don't know what came over me, but I stepped forward and took Xandar's arm.
" Actually, Xander, we should go shower and change. I know your mother was expecting us down right at eight for breakfast. At this rate with all of the chit chat we will probably only have time for
one shower.” I grab his arm tighter and wink at the brunette and drag Xander away willingly, Oscar trying and failing to hold in his laughter as we make our way to the elevator.
" Yep, Luna Midge, I will never piss you off as long as I am alive.” Oscar is openly laughing as the elevator is closing on us. Xander still hasn't said anything.
" Xander, say something. Did I do something wrong, cross a line? She was just pissing me off and the only way I could think to shut her up was to imply that we were sleeping together.” I tried not to outwardly cringe at that, it was so far out of my depth, I hope I didn't embarrass him. I rub my hands over my sweaty face to try and rid some of the blush I know is creeping up my neck and my cheeks. — He pulls me into a sweaty hug"
You did not cross any line, but do you even have any idea what you told her?” He leans me back, just far enough to look me in the eyes.
" Mostly, yes. The concept I implied, I fully understand. Any actual real world knowledge of any of that stuff, not a clue." This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
I smile sheepishly and shrug my shoulders at him before he pulls me back into a hug.
" Sometimes I forget how young and innocent you are. There are so many things you have gone through, that no one your age should even have to think about and then normal teenage things, like s*x, you are still so innocent."
" Oh, damn, I never thought about that!" Oscar almost shouts"
You speak in a war meeting like a 60 year old seasoned veteran, but you're not, you're what fifteen?
You're just a baby. Have you even had your first kiss yet?"
I felt Xander’s arms tighten around me and his breath catch like he’s afraid to know the answer.
" Not romantically, no. It's mostly been like what you've seen Xander do. Kisses on the cheek or forehead. All more brotherly than anything. You have to remember, until a year ago no one hung out with me or even acknowledged my presence. It was an unspoken rule by my bully. She made sure people gave me a wide berth. If they tried to engage with me they got hurt, and I couldn't always intervene so it was just easier to keep my distance, it kept them safer. My brother and the rest of the guys didn’t even acknowledge me until last year when Sierra showed up. So my romantic experience has been vicarious observations through my brother and his friends and their conquests."
