Chapter 14: Static [G]
"I told you I wouldn't go easy on you, Pen," Griffin said. He was standing in the desert, just a few paces away from the entrance to the lair. He was looking at Penny who was down on one knee in the sand, panting to try and catch her breath.
They had been training for almost four consecutive hours now, doing the same exercise over and over. It was on of the simple ones, too. Griffin would jump and she would have to jump to follow him. He started slow and easy, but as they went along the sandy dunes he sped up.
Penny stood up. Her shirt was sweated through around the neckline and the sweat on her forehead was clearly obvious. Her pony tail was loose, Griffin took notice, as her hair was more on her shoulders then when she first put it up.
"One more round, yeah?" Griffin asked, crossing his arms. He was beginning to feel weary himself, but barely broke a sweat.
Penny sighed as she nodded. Her eyes fixed on him.
Griffin jumped once, twce, three times as he ran. He made sure to zig zag and spread his jumps as he went. Once he jumped the sixth time, he jumped back to the lair in front of the black worn couch. He sat down lazily and leaned back.
As expected, he felt Penny jump in. He sat up and saw her shadow on the floo next to his bed. Wonder what she's doing. Griffin leaned forward to se if he could see her from around the sharp corner. Her back was to him and she turned around. Penny was pulling her grey t-shirt down. Ah. Changing...
"Could've told me we were coming in right away." She grabed two soda cans off the bed and walked over to join him.
Grifin thought about saying a smart ass comment like 'Well could've told me you were changing,' but decided against it, almost fearing consequences. He just shrugged as she sat down next to him. Penny handed him one of the soda cans and opened hers. He did the same and took a swig. He set his can down on a pile of games next to the couch. He turned, looking at her. She was taking a sip of her drink as he asked, "So who's this Zack exactly?"
Penny put her drink on the floor next to the leg of the couch. She looked at him for a few seconds and snickered.
"What?" Griffin asked defensively. He wasn't sure why exactly she was giggling.
"You just looked really annoyed and protective at the same time because of a phone call. And it was to my brother."
Griffin sighed as he clenched the bridge of his nose. "You know there's a posibility they could find him then, right?"
Penny was nodding with a troubled look as he glanced back up. "Yeah, but I just had to talk to him. Incase, you know?" She took her pony tail out, letting her hair down. Griffin got a strong urge to reach out and caress her hair. He brushed his thought away, dubbing it weird. What is up with me today?! A voice in his mind was about to give him an answer that he didn't want to resort to just yet. "So, I'm guessing I'm staying here tonight, correct?" She yawned quietly, breaking his thoughts for the better.
"Until your training's complete, that's a definitely," Griffin said moving closer to her. He kissed her on the lips softly. He felt her arms around his neck. He moved even closer to her as he felt her lips part. Griffin's did the same. His skin tingled, as if there was a static current running through his veins. For some reason, he liked this feeling and wanted it to stay.
