Driving Lessons

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP beep bee.... and I drift back to sleep, not bothering to shut off my alarm. It'll shut off eventually.

“Aleasha. Wake up.” The feminine voice is a dead giveaway. It's Patti. I ignore her. Maybe she'll go away.

She shakes me. “Aleasha, wake up!”

I don't even flinch. Maybe if I play dead, she will go away.

She huffs and leaves the room mumbling to herself.

The next thing I remember, heavier footsteps enter my room. “Get up sleepy head. We've got training to do.”

The voice is deep and familiar. Manny?

He kicks my foot and I ignore him. He yanks on my blanket. Before he can completely snatch it off my body, I grab my blanket in a vice grip and roll over. The weight of my body anchors the blanket in place. “No! Go away.”

He snorts. “Don't think you can get out of it that easily with me.” Manny yanks even harder.

My entire body shifts halfway off the bed. I bolt to attention as I try to keep from falling off my bed onto the hard floor beneath me.

Manny yanks again. “You will be getting out of bed, even if I have to carry you kicking and screaming over my shoulder.”

I yank back, successfully ripping the blanket from his hands. I begin crawling back to the comfort of my pillow.

Manny grabs my ankle and pulls me backward toward the edge of the bed again.

“No!” I yelp, and kick at his hands, trying to free myself.

“That's it!” He huffs and jumps onto the bed, body slamming me to the mattress while simultaneously grabbing my pillow with one hand and hitting me over the head several times. “Get up! Get up! Get up!”

I gasp, then grunt before grabbing the other pillow and pummeling him furiously. The room fills with squeals, grunts, and laughter as we find ourselves in a full-blown hard-core pillow fight, complete with a small case of whip lash.

From the doorway Marc calls, “I didn't know we were having a slumber party. I would have brought my footie pajamas.”

I stop mid swing, but not before Manny nails me in the face one more time, knocking me onto my side. “Oof!”

My face is red, because I've been genetically graced with the ability to turn beet red every time I exert myself, and I'm breathing hard.

“Oh, hey Marc! We were just...” My voice trails off as I notice him looking very unamused.

I scramble to a sitting position and Manny jumps off the bed to stand next to it.

Marc steps into the room, his lips pressed into a thin line. “In light of last night's encounter, I’ve decided we’ll spend today doing additional training.”

He stares at me impassively. “We're already an hour behind schedule and have a very full day planned. Get dressed and meet us in the shed in twenty minutes.”

Marc turns on his combat-booted heal and walks out of the room.

I stare at Manny who looks at me and winces. “Sorry, Eash.” He hurries out of the room after Marc.
