I hated admitting it, but I really didn’t like being laid up and stuck in that house.

I found myself thinking about that as I sat out on the glassed in porch and gazed at the sunlight pouring in through the surrounding trees. I’d been out there by myself for nearly an hour, and I was getting bored. I’d brought myself a book to read, but I couldn’t get myself past the first page. Instead, I was sitting there and thinking about what had happened to me the night before. As if to remind me as well, I felt my arm throb slightly. I wished it would stop doing that now. I couldn’t even hardly use it for the pain. And I hated that.

Looking back outside, I pictured Chris in my mind once again. He’d gone out earlier, saying that he needed to do some training. It was something he did every day from what I'd come to learn. He wanted to make sure that he kept himself strong. Of course, he’d waited that day until later because he'd been concerned about me, and he wanted to make sure that I would be okay on my own. Normally, he was out there first thing in the morning. But with our night before and my arm still being pretty bad off, he'd waited a little bit longer, and even considered not doing it. I couldn't see him doing that just for me though. So I convinced him that I'd be fine, and that if anything did happen, I would go out there and get him. After all, I was safe and sound in Zane's house. Nothing would try to hurt me there.

But sitting there, I considered maybe just going out to watch him. As dumb as it sounds, I really loved watching Chris train. No, I didn’t enjoy when I had to train with him, considering he didn’t go any kind of easy on me, but just watching him train was more than entertaining to me. Chris was incredibly strong, and had an amazing ability to manipulate his energy into whatever weapon he wanted. His weapon of choice though seemed to be his sword. He was a master at using it, and could cut down a full grown tree in one swipe if he wanted to.

However, that wasn’t the biggest reason I loved watching him. It was because I had actually fallen in love with him.

I didn’t know exactly when I'd started to suspect that. Maybe it had been there all along. After all, I had admitted to myself from day one that Chris was a very handsome man. He may have been Jade’s son, but that didn’t matter that much to me. He didn’t act at all like Jade. Although I wished he was a little friendlier at times. Still, thinking back to the night before, I couldn't help but smile to myself. I'd finally gotten the truth from him, and admitted my own. I'd even gotten my first kisses. I felt my heart flutter slightly as I thought about them.
