*"May I have a sit?" He said."You... I know you?" I said taking off my glasses."Woo, you don't look so good." When I realised what he was talking about I hurriedly put on my glasses.I felt embarrassed and immediately picked up my bag to leave but I was held back, I looked at my hand and saw that Mr Volunteer held my wrist like it was glass."Please, don't go." He said as I looked into his eyes."And why shouldn't I?" I asked being extremely annoying even for myself."Well, for starters, because you're causing a scene." He said and I looked around seeing people stare at us.I sat down feeling defeat for the second time today, I glared at the man in front of me who just sat there smiling."What do you want from me?" I asked confused and annoyed."Your time." He said simply.I rolled my eyes, for a lecturer and a volunteer he behaved very naíve and childlike, I was still suspicious of him but right now I just needed to relax and get
*After the argument with CJ, I had just realized that I agreed to fight for him and his gym, not a decision I regret but a decision I should have thought through to begin with.I went back to my hotel room to find it spotless, Phillip really did a number on this place, I wandered into the kitchen and also found a freshly cooked meal, with a note by the side: I might not be the best cook,But a balanced diet is great for the mind. Please eat this instead of your junk. Thank you.Phillip. It was so cute how he wrote those words down on a small piece of paper neatly cut. I sat down in a position where I could see the tv and turned it on.I turned on the news channel to see what was going on while I was dealing with my own dramas and catastrophes.'In the past few days crime rate has been as unstable as it has ever been in area V, a few days ago we reported a group of gang members found beaten half
*I woke up the next morning feeling happier than when I fell asleep last night and that was the happiest I've ever been in a while. As I got ready for the day, Philip stopped by with Jonathan to my surprise, with Jonathan looking much better than he uses to, I guess the day head is looking up for us."Good morning you two." I greeted enthusiastically."Good morning ma'am, I believe you had a good night." Philip said with a bow."Yes I did Philip, thank you. Thank you for everything." I said looking into his eyes with a smile. I could have sworn I saw a blush on his face after I thanked him."W-well, it was my pleasure." Philip said flustered, making me laugh."And don't you look all prime and perfect this morning Jonathan." I said to Jonathan."I've had the best time of my life these past few days, although Phil here has tried to kill me multiple times." Jonathan said with his arms folded and a smile on h
*"Hi guys!" Ashton greeted and there was immediate silence.All of a sudden an uproar of screams and cheers came through the small screen, the kids were jumping and screaming everywhere, it was going wild."OMG... He's so cute." I heard Katty."Y-yeah b-but I'm hotter than he is." Deven said somewhere too."Kids, hey please calm down." I said trying to calm them down then I heard it."Stephanie, you owe me $100, Adi's got a boyfriend." I heard Trinity scream.What the hell? I picked up the phone and terminated the call immediately, I can't believe Steph had a bet with a 10-year-old on me having a boyfriend or not, that was so embarrassing.Just then Ashton burst into laughter, he started laughing uncontrollably that it became extremely embarrassing for me and when I couldn't take it anymore I took my bag and stood up to leave the cafe but again he held my hand."I'm s-sorry, p-please don't go." He
*The night ended faster than I had expected, now that they say was finally here, part of me wanted to get over with and the other part was excited to just punch people just because.I went out for a quick jog around the surrounding area so I could get ready properly for my big evening.I came back after almost an hour and almost surprising, there was a big tray in the middle of the dining with a note attached to it.Good Luck on your big eveningWe'll definitely be there to cheerYou on. From Jonathan and Philip.I was really grateful that I had people to look out for me even in this town, even after so long.After a while I went in to take a quick shower before the food got cold, Master said it's always good to honour someone's kindness the best you can.After putting on some clothes I went straight to the dining table to eat whatever was prepared by those two.What I saw next took me by surp
*In less than two hours the area around the ring began to fill up, after my encounter with CJ and that other guy I met earlier I sat in front of the entrance just to get away from it all.Apparently, the man's arm I broke was really part of the competition, but he had to drop out of the tournament obviously because I broke his arm, I let CJ work out the rest since by default I was supposed to be disqualified."Er... Excuse me, ma'am. I-it's time to get ready, we'll be starting soon." I opened my eyes to look at the big clock on the wall and then at the little woman who was sent to call me.I gave her a light nod and signalled her to go away, I heard her shuffle out of my sight as I released a sigh.About to leave I heard my name from a distance, and me being me wanted to ignore the voice but it kept on calling, I turned around to find Jonathan amongst the crowd cheering hard. Silly boy.I saw Philip close who just lightly b
*"Who are you? We've done nothing wrong. If not me please let my mother go, she's really scared and sick. Please! Are you fuckers even listening to me! Let us out!"The voices of Mandy talking and Stacy resonated loudly in the hall from the phone in CJ's hand, did this man have a death wish?"What the fuck did you do Carl Johnson?" I asked already switching to kill mode."And you better stop right where you are. You know the drill if my people don't hear from me every hour those ladies are going to have an endless rest. Good for them right? Oh, ad it's CJ to you missy." CJ said with pride in his eyes.He must have felt like he had this stage under control, I looked back at the phone and CJ, I took a deep breath walked back to CJ, he stepped back a few steps before I stood in front of him."Could we at least have a break before the final fight? I'm feeling a bit sore from the last fight." I lied trying to buy time.
*Jonathan walked me to the back of the kitchen towards the staff room. He knocked twice before opening up the room door.Three big men were lying on the ground unconscious, one of them being CJ and in the corner were Mandy and her mother both shaken up in fear."Adira!" Mandy said immediately she recognized me.I ran over and hugged her as she cried into my shoulder, she was shaking so much that I feared she had caught a fever."Are you okay? Did they hurt you? How many fingers am I holding? I'm so glad you guys are fine. I'm sorry! It's all my fault." I said babbling at a point. It's been a long time since I was overwhelmed by emotions.After another 20 minutes of crying, I was calm enough to take over from the men, I looked toward Phillip and Jonathan."Thank you, both of you. I owe you one." I said sincerely."It is an honour to work for you ma'am, you need not be grateful for anything. It was our pleas
