I will find where is the gym is, and I hope there is a gym here.
When I was wandering off, I found the place so bright and some people was walking in and out of the establishment. I even asked the guard if he know the gym, and they pointed out the people at entrance.
"Hi, may I know where the gym is?" they look at me from head to foot and raised their brows.
"Who are you again?" The woman asked and I bite my lip now.
"I am Nichelle-"
"She is with me, one of the new dealer of my uncle." A man behind me said, and I looked at him. His voice is kind of familiar for me, and he smile at me.
"I am sorry Lord Fiero, we didn't mean to-"
"No it's fine, you are just doing your job," he said before smiling, we walk together and his smile fades and start tapping at his phone.
"So, you are looking at the gym, right?" he asked me and I nod.
"Oh sorry, I am the guy you are talking at your backyard yesterday night, I am Fiero." He casually said and helped me to open the elevator.
"Are you sure that you can hit the gym at that bruises?" he asked and I tried to hide it from him, I feel ashamed of this bruises now.
"Yeah, I can manage and I can't sleep right now, I need to get tired." I explained and walk with his pace when he is guiding me where the gym is.
"If you insist, but that is crazy, your body is like a fighter if you can still manage." He opens the transparent door and he looked at his phone right now.
"So you have no knowledge at anything, so how you can work out?" he asked me and I pointed out the punching bag. And a creepy smile showed his side, maybe an idea came up into his mind.
"I have this trainee; you can spar with her." He went to the locker room and a gym trainer came to me, asked me to change my clothes, and offers a tight shorts and tight sleeveless shirt.
"This is Blue; she is friend of my sister." A pale woman was behind him, and a lot of people at gym looked at us now, I mean why? Is there something and they are gasping.
"Don't worry, she is a trainee; she can't harm you."
"I doubt your words; I can read atmosphere." I said while wearing the gloves and boxing head gear. We went at the ring, and a coach was there.
"I haven't warm up yet, hello?" I said, but when the bell rings, Blue started to approach me, rain punches, and I dodge most of them, defend myself from her punches.
Every punch is getting heavy; I can't even find an opening. How cruel Fiero is, he just asked me to spar with this so called trainee?
"Fuck!" I hissed, I am getting impatient, and when Blue slow down a bit, I tried to find an opening, every time I punch he, I was watching her foot and arms, and at the moment she almost lost her balance, I accelerate and a strong punch makes her nose broke, and the bell rings, before my second punch lands.
"Chill lady, she almost passed out, and she will definitely pass out for second punch." Fiero said and checking Blue at the corner of the ring.
"No! I can still fight, this is nothing!" she said and smile from all of people who is assisting her.
"I really hit a bingo," Fiero joked and helped me to remove my gloves, and boxing head gear.
I went down to the ring and hear some whispers from the people at gym, the way they look at every moves that I make.
"Oh, it's bleeding." I said and the coach helped me to remove my hand warp, I didn't feel any pain, but my knuckles are bleeding, this is the first time to bleed after one punch.
"Are you practice at boxing?" the coach asked me while putting ice at my knuckles, and he shook his head that I didn't react when the ice touched my bleeding knuckles.
"I just punch at my punching bag since I was a kid, to release my anger and to get tired because I can't sleep that well." I explained and Blue went to my direction, bow her head.
"Please spar with me tomorrow," I looked surprise and Fiero patted Blue's head.
"She is really a nice one here, willing to learn more and eager to practice more, she can't find the best opponent since she learn really fast, and this is her first time to bleed and almost knock out." Fiero explained and I nod.
"Sure, I can spar with you if I don't have work," I said and her forehead creased before looking at Fiero, and Fiero nod at Blue like they already talking with their minds.
"That is sick, Tito Adam is really a cunning man." She shrugs her shoulder.
"Let's buy some drinks, my treat, lets run?" My face glows when I heard run and I stood up quickly. We jogged out of the building and run, I followed Blue because I have no idea where is the shop that she will buy a drink.
"Let's run a few lapses, before refreshing ourselves." I smile genuinely and a lot of people are looking at me, maybe because of a few bruises at my face.
I can't believe that I am smiling right now, that even I am new at this work, I already find a few people that understand what is enjoyment means.
Sparing and running is like a dream.
"We are here," a coffee shop, we stop there and the guard greet us.
"Hi, can I have lemonade and what is your order?" Blue asked me and I don't know what is my order, I can't read a words and most of it are unrecognizable.
"I-is there a cucumber?" I asked and she smile at me, and pay the drinks.
"I am sorry for asking, Fiero just heads me up right now about your situation." I look away and feel shy about myself.
"No, it is totally fine, and I appreciate that you ask me what I want." I assure Blue and we walk out the shop with our drinks.
"So, how long do you practice?" she asked and look at my body, but the difference is she is just really checking me out, without judgement.
"Since I was young, I just punch the bag when I feel upset, and I run fast because you know, I am a snatcher." I explained and she nod, still no judgement is written at her pretty face.
"Your physical appearance looks great, and how you move your feet while punching and dodging, that is really great that no one taught you." She complimented me and I can feel that my whole face is getting red right now.
"I can teach you about education, basic knowledge, but can you train with me, teach me all the moves you have, specially the punch that you did to me, that can knock me out if I didn't step back." I am shocked.
How is that possible that they appreciate it, I am just an amateur?
"Sure, please bear with me, I am still learning."
"Me too, I am still learning." We smile to each other and shake our hands.
That day, I become a good friend with Blue.
