Chapter 6: Rangers Together
Jayden's Pov
Everything was going better than I expected. Kevin was back into training and he was getting alone with Antonio. In fact they were training together as we speak.
There have been less Nighlok attacks which allowed us to cut back and relax alittle, except for me. As the Red Ranger I had never been able to relax completely, I always have to remain on edge in case something happens and I was also worried about Antonio. It had been two weeks since we kisses and we've barely talked to each other since, but that was mostly my fault. I had been avoiding him because I believed that he only did it because he heard me say I love you and that he was too nice to turn me down.
"Jayden" I turned just in time to catch a practice sword that was thrown my way. Kevin had tossed it to me and was no walking towards me. As he passed me to go into the house he patted me on the shoulder and whispered in my ear.
"He's all yours" And with that he left us alone. We hadn't been left alone since that day. But now that we alone I think it's time for me to face my fear by facing him.
"You back for more Shiba?" Antonio joked as he took his stance.
"Last time I checked I was the one that won" I said as I got into my stance.
"Not this time!" And we started fighting again, this time he was going faster and harder. He kept advancing until my back hit the training dummy and our swords locked. I pushed forward but Antonio wouldn't budge.
"So Jayden tell me why you have been avoiding me" he asked. I froze, not expecting him to be so blunt but him waiting for my answer gave me the chance to break through. He stumbled back and then I became the one of the offense. I slashed forward but he kept blocking my attacks. He was always quick on his feet.
"I don't know what you're talking about" I told him as I managed to disarm him. But like I thought he was quick on his feet. He managed to spin past me and dive for his sword.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about. I kissed you and you've been avoiding me since" With me distracted by his truth (I didn't think that he'd notice I was avoiding him) he managed to disarm me and pointed his sword at my face before I could reach for mine.
"I didn't think you really meant it. I thought you only kissed me because you heard what I said" I didn't look at him as I said it. I wasn't strong enough to look him in the eyes and say it.
Grabbing my chin he lifted my head so that I was staring directly into his eyes. And all I could see was love.
"Jayden I didn't kiss you because I heard what you said. I kissed you because I was happy to hear that you loved me too...And I" I didn't let him finish. With my right arm I grabbed him by his collar and pulled him in for a passionate kiss and I was glad when he returned it. Dropping his sword he wrapped his arms around my neck and I moved mine around his waist, pulling him in deeper.
"It's about time"
We pulled apart suddenly and looked over to see everyone watching us. Mike had a smug look on his face, Emily and Mia were smiling and giggling at each other, and Kevin and Ji looked as if this was normal.
Before we knew it the girls were running towards and threw their arms around us. They laughed as their force made us stumble backward.
"We're so happy for you guys" Emily said.
"Yeah, you guys give 'Rangers together' a whole new meaning" Everyone laughed at that and the girls let us go.
"So are you guys together now?" Kevin questioned.
I looked over at Antonio and he looked back at me. Without any words we both knew the answer. I grabbed his hand and he interlocked our fingers.
"Yes we are" I told them.
"Then let's celebrate. Come on, I'll make us some lunch" Mia said. After she walked into the house Mike grounded and Kevin looked sick to his stomache but together we all went inside to eat her cooking anyway because that's what teams do for each other.
With this team I know that we could do anything
The End...For now
