Chapter 1070 - From ten to twenty-nine (2/2)
Nineteen kids understood that if they do good in academics, they can be bodyguards.
They spent the morning sparring with Nala, Haru, Aiden and Sarah.
Each of the four took notes with a goal to compare them and assess the progress boys made.
After lunch, they moved onto academics. Sarah and Aiden looked at the reports from tutors, while Haru and Nala watched the boys while they took additional tests.
Sarah also gave them brochures for various schools and programs. ”Look into these tonight, so that you can consider it when we talk about your plans. Tomorrow. Even if you want to be bodyguards, we want all of you to have at least a college degree. Understood?”
All boys nodded.
The day ended celebratory. And their celebration is: barbeque on the open. In the Beach house, that means barbeque on the beach.
Lots of food, drinks, laughter, and there was some sparing in the sand as well. It was a lively atmosphere. It was too bad that the ocean is too cold for a swim, otherwise they would go swimming as well.
Haru and Nala were sitting in the middle of it all, sharing a large stone which is sticking out of the white sand. Her head resting on his shoulder. Lately the two of them grew closely together, almost inseparable. Who wakes up first goes to the other one's door and knocks until there is an ”I'm awake!” response. They start their days with a morning exercise, then a breakfast… they would study together, even if they are preparing different exams. Holding hands is not awkward anymore, and Haru kissed the back of Nala's palm more times than they can count, but every time it feels nice. And few times, when they were by themselves in the shroud of privacy, Haru kissed Nala on the cheek.
Later that evening…
Aiden is standing on the balcony, facing the ocean.
”What are you looking at?”, Sarah asked while her hands wrapped around his chest from the back.
He craned his neck to glance at her. ”Did you talk to girls about contraception?”
”What?!”, Sarah snapped.
Aiden showed with his chin toward the beach.
Sarah used Eve-vision to zoom in at two shadows which blended into one.
She frowned. ”It's Nala and Haru. They are only sitting next to each other. Why are you scaring me?”
”Scaring? In this romantic atmosphere, it is only a matter of time…”
Sarah pinched him on the arm and snorted. ”Not everyone is like you.”
Aiden rubbed his arm and turned toward Sarah abruptly. ”Why did that sound like you don't approve? I remember what we did on that beach, and you made a lot of sounds, but not a single one told me to stop.”
Sarah buried her face in his chest and mumbled: ”We are different.”
”We are in love. And so are they…” Aiden touched her chin, making her look up. ”When two people are in love, they want to be close, until their shadows merge into one.” He tightened his hold on her and kissed her on the lips. ”And they want to kiss each other, and to feel each other… It is a normal thing for people in love, right? You can't deny that.”
”No… I won't deny that…”, she whispered while getting on her toes to kiss him.
