Gifted Connections 3

« Prev  Chapter  Next »



I was offered a room once more but I didn’t think it was fair since I fully intended to share beds with my connections once more.

“Your choice for a movie tonight,” Noah insisted as he pulled me closer on his lap.

“My choice, really?” I asked in surprise. I normally didn’t care what we watched. I wasn’t fastidious. I was content with watching anything.

“We always choose,” Remy stated as he sat down on the other end of the couch and grabbed my feet. “It’s your turn.”

I laughed evilly. “Well, the girls left some of their DVD’s in Troy and Drake’s room. I haven’t watched How to Lose a guy in 10 Days yet.”

I fully expected them to protest, but Drake got up and went into his room and came back with the movie.

“It’s a funny movie,” Jace shrugged as he took a seat in one of the sling back chairs.

I looked up at him in surprise. “You’ve watched it?”

“We all have,” Troy said dryly with a smile.

“Not me,” Remy said with a crooked smile. “I never dated,” he explained to me as he began to rub my feet. “No female dictated what I watched. I have to admit to watching the Notebook and a few others with Jemmy, though.”

I looked at him in surprise and he laughed. “You watched the Notebook.”

He shrugged with a smile. “I’m a great big brother.”

“Whatever,” Noah teased him. “She just knows if she cries enough, you’ll give in to anything.”

“Is that the secret then?” I got off Noah’s lap and straddled Remy’s. “If I cry, will I get my way?”

Remy cleared his throat and shifted me on his lap. “You know I’ll do anything for you. With or without tears.”

“We all would,” Jaxson stated as he sat down on the floor next to the couch. He was already dressed in his pajama bottoms and nothing else.

“Within reason,” Jace said. “If we think you’re in danger, we’re going to find it hard to just give in without talking about it first.”

“I think she knows her limitations now,” Drake defended me quietly. “I think it’s time to start working on combining our gifts together. All of us. I think her gift is getting stronger. Ours are even growing beyond our expectations or what we have ever been taught that they could grow into.”

He stood up and held his hands together. A blue sphere encompassed us and grew larger than I had ever seen it. He lifted his hands and everything, including the couch, lifted with it. We all looked down and noticed we hovered about two feet off the ground.

He lowered his hands and we all fell back into place with barely a thump. “If all of us are together, we can control it. Blake knows it. I know it.”

“I carried the motorcycle around the garage like it was a toy, and I barely tapped into my gift,” Remy stated as he stroked my back preventing me from leaving his lap.

“You all know my illusions are no longer illusions. They can become reality at will. I’ve been playing around with it and the physical forms of my illusions are tangible for up to fifteen minutes.” Jaxson stated as Cooper the monkey came jumping onto the couch chattering as he climbed onto my lap.

“If that animal defecates on me, we’re going to have a problem,” Remy stated cryptically.

“Don’t listen to him, Coop,” I laughed as I pet the monkey. “Relax Remy, he’s potty trained. Aren’t you buddy?” I asked in my ‘baby’ voice.

“I haven’t been able to test my gift,” Troy stated. “But I know that it’s grown. I feel it humming throughout my body.”

“I’m constantly having to block other people’s feelings,” Jace stated. “I’ve felt people’s emotions on the lowest levels. I’ve never been able to feel people at that distance. I think we do need to start working on them together, if…” he looked at me hesitantly. “We stop when we feel our gifts getting out of our control.”

I nodded. “I agree. After experiencing it, I know what to expect now.”

“So, when does training begin?” Noah asked expectantly.

“Monday,” Jace and Remy said simultaneously. They looked at each other and chuckled.

Jace smiled. “We’ll tell Paul we need to cut back on their group training and start working on our own regimen. As we vet and choose the Nons we know we can work with, we can add them to our training. Gavin and the other techies are closer to completing the simulations. We also need to integrate April, Brad, and Warren’s people into our training,” Jace stated.
