We said our goodbyes and Alfred led us to the front door. On our way back I got a call from Carolyne.“Hello, Carolyne.”“It’s already dark, where are you two?” O shucks, I forgot.“I’m so sorry Carolyne. We are on our way back… I forgot to tell Nathan. Send me your location and we will see you later. I almost forgot to ask, who will be joining us?”“A few other friends of mine.”“Okay, good. O yes, do you know James?”“YES! Why? Oh please don’t tell me you also invited him, Mia?”I bit down on my bottom lip. “Yeah… I kind of did.”“MIA…!!!”“O, Carolyne. I met him for the first time today… his not that bad… anyway you are wasting time… send me the location, see you, bye!”“Mia…” I ended the call before she could continue.Nathan started laughing. I looked at him confused.“What?”“James and Carolyne used to date.”“What? How was I supposed to know that? He kind of invited himself… What was I supposed to do, say no, and besides he is your coach and friend.”“I don’t mind, but I bet yo
What a night… Carolyne and James started arguing again, which caused Carolyne to explode and chase James around the field while shooting at his head, at the end Nathan and I separated them before they really started killing each other.“He makes me so angry, Mia… every time I see that face of his, I want to hit it!” She bends down picking up a stick, snapping it in half. “Oooo and the nerves he has to blame me… he blames me… me Mia, ME!! She screams while pointing towards herself almost poking a hole in her chest.Oh, these two are really starting to work on my nerves... I rubbed at my temples hoping to ease the headache that is slowly starting. I closed my eyes. “Can you please tell me what happened between the two of you? I really can’t take it anymore, being the only one not knowing what went on.”She looked down at her feet… “Nothing.”“What?? … what do you mean nothing. Carolyne, I swear I will be the one to punch you in the face if you do not start talking right now!” I said gri
I wake up to the smell of bacon, thinking… finally it’s Friday. It was the day of Nathan’s match, so I planned to spend the morning with Nathan and then go over to Carolyne’s to get ready for the match, she insisted that we get ready at her apartment.Throwing the covers off I quickly washed up and skipped down the stairs. Walking into the kitchen Nathan is standing in front of the stove.“Take a seat, the food is almost done…” I walked over to the table taking my seat.“I thought you left early this morning?”He turned around looking confused at me. “Why would I leave home without you?”“Oh, is that so?... You do actually know this is not your home?”He ignored me, turned around, and continued with the food.“Do you know when Joe will be back? I tried phoning him, but his phone is off…” I asked concerned.“I got a hold of my dad last night. They seem to be having a bad signal over there, but it sounds like they’re having a good time. They met up with some old friends there. He told m
“O yeah, Carolyne asked if I could get ready at her place, I hope you don’t mind. Will you be able to come pick us up there or should we take her car to the match?”“I will come to pick you up.”“Okay, thank you.”“Carolyne… don’t you think this skirt is too short?” I looked at myself in the mirror. If I may say so myself, I look hot. I’m dressed in a tight leather mini shirt, short sleeve V- neck button up white satin blouse, that’s tucked into the skirt, match with short black stiletto boots. My hair was styled into a messy bun.“Nope you look gorgeous, Nathan is going to drool all over you tonight… that man is head over heels for you!” She slapped her hand over her mouth looking at me with big eyes.I looked curiously at her. “Oh… so you knew Nathan liked me that much?”She looked shocked at me. “Well to be fair I did try to tell you, but how do you know? Did he tell you? Wait… don’t tell me you two…” She looked at me with excitement.I nodded my head while smiling at her.“AAHHHHH
“Amore, what took you so long? We almost went looking for you.” James said looking relieved as he watch me enter the room.“I know, I’m sorry, I crashed into some asshole on my way to the bathroom.”James looks at me with disbelief… “Really Amore, you can’t even go to the bathroom without attracting attention.” He shakes his head.“HEY! It’s not my fault, he bumped into me!” I said frustrated, I walk up to Nathan. He takes me into his arms letting my face press into his chest. “Are you okay?” He asks while holding me. “Yeah, I’m fine,”“Okay, guys split it up. It’s time to go… you can give him some TLC after the fight.” James winks at me.Ignoring him I asked Nathan. “Where should I go?”“Just follow James, I’ll see you after the fight.” He kisses me on the forehead and then releases me from the hug.James helps Nathan to put on his gloves.Nathan walks in front of us, ready to walk out toward the cage. James walks beside me.Hearing the announcer introducing Nathan to the crowd. We
The referee indicates them to take their places.“FIGHT” He shoutsJames came back taking his seat next to me.Nathan threw a few punches at Carter which he dodge, both of them already against the side of the cage. Carter lifts his leg, and almost kicks Nathan in the side of the head, which Nathan quickly dodges. Nathan uppercut punch Carter and then kicks at the back of Carter’s leg which cause Carter to stumble and fall to the ground, before he could get up Nathan quickly grabs him around the neck with his arm pulling him backwards, Nathan lying flat on his back, wrapping his legs around Carter’s, while tightening his grip around Carter’s neck.A few seconds passed and Carter could not get out of Nathan’s hold and tap out.I look at James excitedly. James and I both jump up and scream. “HE WON.” We jump up and down out of excitement.James runs into the cage jumping on Nathan, slapping him on the back while congratulating him.Carter walks out of the cage straight towards me, the bl
Carolyne storms into the room. “Wow, what a fight Nathan… congratulations!!” She sings the congratulations out.She frowns at our serious faces “What’s with the faces?” She asks pointing at us.James raises his eyebrow, looking at her sternly. “Carolyne, are you even human? Did your parent never teach you to knock?” He looks up at the ceiling deep in thought, then looks back at her again “Thinking about it now… did they even teach you anything?” He looks satisfied with himself while smirking at her.“YOU!!!” Carolyne screams, walking toward him while pointing her finger at him.James tilts his head while he is still smiling and holds one finger up at her… “OH… wait now I’m not finished. MY PARENTS always told me to answer a question… SO… If you have chosen to sit with us, you would have known why our FACES look like this.” He points between Nathan, him, and me. “But… NO…like always you took the cowardly way out and ran away… like ALWAYS!” “JAMES!!!” Carolyne screams “I did NOT run…”
The next week went by fast, and before I knew it, it was my first day as a medical intern.I woke up to a knock on my door.“Come in,” I called out.“Good morning beautiful, I made you some breakfast.” Nathan walks in with a plate of fried eggs, bacon, and toast with a glass of orange juice.“WOW, Thank you. This is really sweet of you.”He places the tray on my lap, taking a seat at my feet. “I thought I should treat you on your first day. How are feeling, are you nervous?”“No, Dr. Martin already prepared me on what to expect for the first day.”I shift to the side of the bed, making room for him, tapping the open space next to me. “Come climb in next to me please, hold me for a little while.” He stands, walks over to me then climbs in next to me, wrapping his arms around my shoulders. I made myself comfortable in his arms. “I love it when you hold me like this…you know… I will be very busy from now on.” He kisses the top of my head. “Yeah I know, that is why I have been thinking
