“She’s up!” Andrea's voice traveled all the way over to where Greg and I were training.

“You hear that!” Greg shouted as he helped me up from the ground.

“Yeah that's great..” I am really happy to finally be able to talk to Juliette. But, I’m even more elated about the fact that I can put a pause on getting my ass kicked.

Because of everything that happened Greg has now stepped up my training. Since I can’t use Aura or Magic, I have to get as strong as possible if I want to travel the world.

From what Greg has told me, the world is filled with magic beasts and other unexplainable things. Not to mention bandits and such. So as to not be a burden to Juliette, if she decides to go with me, I have to get strong enough to hold my own.

“Come one! Let’s race! If you lose you have a hundred push-ups to do.”Greg immediately took off sprinting towards the cabin, leaving me in the dust.

“How is this fair?!” I shouted as I tried to catch up with Greg.

I finally made it to the cabin where Andrea and Greg were talking.

Greg noticed me, and grinned from ear to ear. “You lost!”

“I’m..aware.” I said, gnashing my molars.

“Stop fighting!” Andrea screamed. “Go say hey to Juliette. You go first Adela.”

“Huh?” I asked.

Andrea laughed. “I’m sure she wants to see you first before anyone else.”

“…” My chest started pounding, and I couldn’t speak.

“Stop standing there like an idiot! Go!” Andrea shouted and I ran in the house. “She’s in your room.”

My room?! Why is she in my room?! What’s wrong with her’s?! “It doesn’t even matter!”

I ran to my room, just stopping short of the door.

My heart was pounding as numerous thoughts floated through my mind.

I took a deep and long breath, before resolving myself. “Here it goes”

I closed my eyes and pushed open my door before stepping inside.

The smell of flowers entered my nostrils, and I knew that she was in my room.

Shit I really need to pen my eyes, but I’m really fucking scared! “Ow!”

I screamed as I felt something push me in the back. I landed on my mattress with a *thud*.

My eyes were wide open at this point, and I saw an azure blue flash before my eyes.

A soft sensation crashed into my lips, followed by a sweet taste.

A pair of bright fuschia colored eyes were staring right at me. I was dumbfounded, and couldn’t move.

Slowly, Juliette sat up. Revealing a smile bright enough to light up the entire room. Her hair was tied up into two ponytails, accentuating her delicate features.

“Beautiful…” Those words left my mouth unconsciously. I would have been embarrassed, but I was too in awe of Juliette’s beauty.

Juliette’s cheeks took on a pink hue, and her smile grew even wider.

Without warning, she laid down on me and wrapped her arms around my neck. “I missed you.”

“Y-yeah I missed you too!” Shit! Shit! Shit! I’m getting a boner! Please don’t ruin this moment!!

“You smell really nice.” Juliette announced as she sniffed me.

“No I don’t! I just got done training! I’m sweaty!” Please get off! Please get off!!!!

“Your heart is beating really fast. Why is that?” Juliette asked, her voice filled with satisfaction.

“Because this is too much for me! Can we talk normally?!” Why can’t I think of anything non sexy! Damnit!

I shuffled around, but Juliette refused to budge.

“Nope.” Juliette announced happily.

“Please????” I can’t hide it forever!!!

“This is payback for what you did last time.” Juliette responded as she kissed my neck. “And I haven’t had my fill yet.”

I give up!!! “I’m sorry!!!”
