A WEEK LATER

A WEEK LATER
‘Okay so, his shoulders are squared up. His lest side is slightly lower so that means its his weak side, unless he’s facking to trick me’ she watches as he takes a step to the left. ‘His legs are firm planted on the ground feet flat and straight. ‘No weakness in the feet, or am I not seeing it maybe?’ Aja has been training with Mikah for the past hour and he won’t let her finish unless she finds a weak spot. The problem is he barley has any weaknesses on the body, that anyone can see. He’s good at facking so it gets confusing to even keep track. ‘Or am I just not good at this?’ no, no negative thinking. ‘I can do this, I will find a weakness’. Aja takes a step back away from him ‘I just need to see the big picture’ maybe I’m too focus on specific areas and should focus on his entire frame. She watched him, his hands fists are scared up, placed close to his face, level with his eyes. He’s staring me down with that stupid smirk on his face. How can he look so much like Cailin but not at all at the same time. He has the same face shape, nose, eye shape, hair color, body type but for some reason his smirk makes her want to push him to remove it. While with Cailin, his smirk makes her insides melt into a puddle of goo. His body is a bit bigger, his muscles are thicker and look hard but are actually soft to the touch, his skin is so warm. When he wrapped his arms around he-

“OW, hey!” Aja rubbed her head.

“Sorry, sorry I thought I saw your brain floating into the clouds, but i guess it was just a fly, right?” Mikah asked sarcasm seeping out his voice.

“What, no, what are you talking about?” Aja’s fists back up trying to get back into it.

“You’re distracted doll, thats what I mean. You keep drifting, I see it, you don’t think I do but I do” Mikah told her.

Aja lowered her fist and took a deep breath “I’m fine, I was just looking for the opening” she said.

“Alright lets take a break” Mikah said, he walked up to her taking of the tape wrapped around her fists.

“What’s going on?” he asked, Aja didn’t answer. He poked her forehead “What’s going on up here? Talk!” he insisted

“Nothing!” Aja said, she sighed and decided to just ask. She knows it will sound pathetic, whatever. “I just…did he give you an update at all” she didn’t have to say the name Mikah knew.

“Doll, I didn’t know you had it this bad” he jokes but answers anyway after she gives him the death glare. It reminds him of a smilar look that another unbearable witch has plastered on her face permanently, and thinks she should spend less time with her. “No not yet, but he is almost done. He should be back by tomorrow, he’s probably already on his way” he tried to cheer her up. He knows she misses him, it’s been showing in her training too. He didn’t realize they were so codependent already. Even though he hasn’t seen Cailin either for the last week, he knows he is moping around too. They really are a perfect match I guess.

“You said that yesterday, and the day before. It’s fine I was just wondering. I can keep going, I don’t know why you want to take a break” she asked him. He was not gonna keep training with her like this it’s not productive.

“Because I said so, I am the trainer right? You are a trainee “ he pulled her braid, she swatted his hand and gave him her other hand so he could do that one too. He’s been picking on her trying to get her riled up but even that isn’t working. They will just have to ride it out until he gets back.

“Fine, whatever” she mumbled.

“You guys done?!” Leny yelled from the bench she sat on under the shade stand. Aja started walking over to her “No, just a break, I guess. Your brother seems to be kinda tired today, doesn’t want to work too hard, am I right?” she looked over at Mikah with a faking look of concern on her face.

Lenny laughed and Mikah stuck out his middle finger walking up behind her. “No, we are ending the work out for today because Aja is unable to keep face off the floor” he said.

“You said we were taking a brake?” Aja sat on the bench next to Leny.

“I lied okay! jeez. Get your stuff and lets go.” he said

“Oh yaya!” Leny clapped her hands “Now we can get some smoothies!”

They all walked to Mikahs jeep in the parking lot and got in. “Nobody sitting up here?” mikah asked turning back at them.

“I don’t wanna sit next to you, ugly” Leny said as Aja shook her head at the same time. He turned around shaking his head “Wow so ya’ll just leave all alone up here then, thats cool, thats cool” he started the car and pulled out.

“Its more fun this way, you’ll be like our chauffeur” Leny added, and Aja laughed “Yes, please, would you make your way to the finest smoothie establishment in town, thank you” she said.

“And do not dilidaly please, we have a veeerrry hectic schedule today. Thank you” Leny added in her most proper voice.

Mikah just rolled his eyes “you can both lick my big toe”

“Escuse you!?” Leny palced her hand over her heart

“How dare you speak to us this way, do you know who we are?” Aja added

“Oh no we will have to speak to your manager, the audacity” Leny shook her head in disapproval.

Mikah rolled his eyes and decided to leave it there, or they’ll keep going the entire ride.

They made Mkah drive them to the mall , insisting they had the best smoothies in the food court. After what Mikah considered to be hours of waiting in line for their smoothies they finally got back to the house and are now sitting in the backyard. Aja and Mikah were on the swings while leny decided to just sit on the bench. The swings had been a new addition to the yard since they had found out Aja had it on her favorite tree as a kid. Calian had facetimes her from the plane, he wanted to see her expression when she went to the yard and found it. She thought it was really sweet and even cried a little. Cailin had said it wasn’t a big deal, he just wanted her to have something that she could add to the house and make it her home too. Aja was over the moon that he wanted her to feel this was her home, but he didn’t have to worry she already felt like it was.
