Chapter 2

Biggest pro of owning a gym is I could get up at any time of night or early morning, sweating and panting from a nightmare and just head over there. Lock myself in my safe haven and lift all the weights, run hours on the treadmill, push my body so hard that my brain shuts off. That’s what we need sometimes, for our brains to SHUT THE FUCK UP!

I’m panting hard, pushing my hands through the wet strands of my hair as I dangle my feet off the bed, and blink hard trying to push away the grotesque images from my nightmare. Holy fuck.

After changing and getting into my black jeep wrangler, I drive straight to Cainainer, a blunt between my lips as I enjoy the dark, empty streets this early in the morning.

I arrive too soon but have no complaints because this was what I needed. I’m aiming for so much muscle pain that I can’t think of anything else… Just physical pain. It’s always better.

_

I jump on the treadmill and place my head phones in place, starting my ‘work out’ playlist as the machine starts moving… Slow, slow and then fast, faster until I’m lost in the movement and my own sweaty world. This… This right here is the best idea I’ve ever had, starting my own gym. It was my pride, the one thing I owned that I knew would never disappoint me.

I groan after my minutes of cardio as I get on the mat to do my daily routine press ups. “It’s worth it, it’s fucking worth it”. We all need a little inspiration every now and then.

Even awesome people like me, believe or not.

A few minutes of this and I finally get up, my chest heaving as I breathe hard, a pleased expression on my sweaty face that’s replaced with a surprised one immediately my eyes meet with these foreign blue ones staring right at me. I thought the sign said closed. Clearly these two boys who were standing before me couldn’t read.

One of them was gigantic with this calm expression on his face, his dark hair complementing his blue eyes and the other who I’m guessing was his side kick was a little shorter but still had a heavy-set body. He had the same hair except his was spiky and all over the place unlike the giant of a guy who at least figured a way to tame his. The shorter guy’s lips move and my frown hardens.

“…Fit as fuck” I unplug my head phones to find him finishing his sentence.

“Hmm?” I raise a brow. I want to give them a chance to explain themselves before I kick them out in the least professional way. It was 4 am and I was still clocked out.

“Oh sorry, introductions first, am I right?” the side kick went on “I’m Austin”. My eyebrows raise as he goes on rambling.

“Cainine, owner and instructor of this place” I say “I think the sign says- ” but I’m interrupts again.

“I was going to ask for the owner of this fine establishment but I see we’ve met the fine owner of the establishment”. The emphasis on the word ‘fine’ makes me cringe a little and he smiles wider. Ooooh I see…He’s one of those sunshine people. Shit.

I look over to the silent gigantic dude, waiting for him to speak but he just stares down at me, his expression unreadable for a minute or so, clearly searching for his words before speaking.

“I’m Drew, and we were hoping to check this place out and see what all the fuss is about” his voice is so low and calm “Forgive his childish behavior, I’m afraid we left his brain in the car”.

And right then and there a smile breaks across my face as Austin flips his friend off. I have no idea why really but there was something I liked about their vibe even this early in the morning.

“We’re closed, but I guess I can help” I shrug deciding to give this a shot. It’s been a while since I conversed with people my age anyway. “I hear the owner is a bitch, but I can assure you she likes me” I wink at them and they smile nodding.

And that was when I first met Austin and Drew, I liked their vibe from the beginning and look at us now…

PRESENT DAY

“Duude” Austin slurs “We know you can get girls faster than we can, but I’m in desperate need of getting some tonight. So, if you would just back off” I look at him and grin. This isn’t the first time we’re having this stupid conversation.

“Play nice and maybe I will” I shrug taking a swig of my beer.

“Come on Drew, tell this bitch to back off” Austin whines plopping next to me on the couch and I scoff a laugh looking between my two best friends.

We were hanging out and pregaming in one of Austin’s friend’s basements planning out how tonight’s party was going to go. Austin’s parties were always packed and among the most popular, I guess those were the perks of being popular, rich, and good looking.

He never throws them at his place though, and that is also one of the perks of being popular and having plenty of friends. He gets to reserve his place and use his friends but still takes credit for the party. Anyway, the point is, more people in a party equals more females, more opportunities, more fun, more fucking… You get the drill.

“You heard him Alison” Drew speaks his back facing us as he pours himself a drink, from the mini-refrigerator. I have a feeling he used that name on purpose knowing how much my real name irritates me.

“Call me that one more time and I’ll feed your dick to my dog” I point him, not caring that his back is still facing me.

“You don’t have a dog…” he chuckles.

“Of course, I do” he faces me as he walks towards the couch. “What do you think you are?” I shrug and earn a snicker from Austin.

“Anyway” Drew narrows his eyes at me as I chuckle. “We all know that I don’t have to do much to get their attention” he brags flexing his stupid arm muscles… Asshole.

“Show off” Austin mutters “Luckily, ladies love me”.

“I wonder why you two are talking too much when you know I’ll get them all.” I’m cocky about this because I know I attract the most ladies.

“You just need to get dicked down good and you’ll see Nine” Drew chuckles, dodging a pillow I throw his way.

Now, I normally didn’t entertain such jokes but I was already used to these assholes, and no matter what they said, I learned not to take it personally because I also said some pretty nasty shit to them. It never changed how close we were.

“Fuck off” I frown “By the way is Justin coming?” I almost forgot about that idiot. He has a way of making me super uncomfortable and violent.

“You know he’s part of the team, right?”. Great, now I had to deal with that perverted asshole.

“Well, this is definitely going to be a long night ” I clench my jaw and lean back into Austin’s open arms.

It was annoying having to deal with a dumb guy who never knew when to take a hint or respect my sexuality.

***

The place is crowded in about an hour after the party starts and the music and chattering are so fucking loud we can hear it every time the door to the basement opens.

It was way more chill in in the basement though, the lights were dull, and when the door was closed you could barely hear the noise from upstairs. The only sound coming from down here was the quiet soft rock and laughs from the basketball team guys.

“So… Where did you say you’re from again?” I smile at the pretty, short, brunette who I caught checking me out earlier. I figured I should tie myself to one girl for the night and give Austin and Drew a shot to get laid too.

“I just moved to Lorenzo a month ago and stay in the neighborhood ” she shrugs, her dimpled smile permanent as she speaks softly staring at everywhere but me. Shy… We’ll see about that.

“Really now, I can show you around if you want” I lean in close to her, lowering my voice as I try to drag her eyes to mine. Of course I wouldn’t show her around, I wouldn’t even recognize her face after tonight. But she doesn’t make a move to move away so I lean even closer to her.

“I’d like that” her voice is now as low as mine as her brown eyes finally meet mine and her smile turns flirtatious almost… Dirty.

“I bet you would” I mumble, gently tracing her arm with the back of my hand, and watching closely as chills spread over her skin before meeting her eyes again.

She was pretty just like every other girl that wanted to fuck me, she was also easy, and if I was reading her right, needy. Some might say, that that was just my type.

“Uh huh” she nods, biting her lower lip as she looks between my fingers tracing up her arm and my eyes on her. I like how desperate she sounds. I don’t think I have any other reason to stay in this party.

I lean in close to her ear and whisper “What else would you like?”

Now listen, flirting and getting something out of it wasn’t easy but if you picked your cards right, in this case a girl who looks lost in a party like she doesn’t know a lot of people but is desperate and maybe adventurous enough to sleep with a total stranger… Then you’d get something out of it. And isn’t that what we all want? Different pretty girls in your bed every single night, different tastes on your tongue, different moans every night, different kinks, different needs. We all need the perfect distraction from this torturous life.

Her breath grows heavy as my lips trace over her ear. “Tell me” I push further, placing my hand over her head and leaning in closer, pressing her body against mine.

Don’t push her too much, push just enough… enough to get an answer and a reaction. A greenlight if you may. Consent is key, she has to need me.

“Y-you” she breathes and I almost laugh at how predictable they’re becoming. I got her right where I want her.

“Well, well, well. Look what we have here” a grating voice interrupts. Also, don’t celebrate until you have her under you and tangled in sheets. You might jinx it if you celebrate too soon.

“Fuck” I mutter and lift my head to glare at him “Please Justin, fuck off.”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that” he leans in close to me, his gross breath reeking of vodka. “But I can fuck you sweet Ali” damn it. See what I was talking about?

I bet he has no idea how bad I want to bang his head through a wall at the moment that’s why he’s still leaning in. But it’s not worth it. Not when I’m so close to bagging my lay for the night.

I ignore his presence, sigh and turn to the girl I was speaking to cause that’s who I should be giving all my attention to.

“Can I get you a drink?” I ask her and can’t help but notice how uncomfortable she looks. Way to ruin the mood asshole.

“Yeah” she nods her eyes looking between Justin and I. She takes the lead climbing the stairs two by two and I follow behind “You know him?”

“Yes, unfortunately he’s a friend of my friends” I grumble. I hate feeling disrespected and Justin’s presence seems to have that effect on me. I’m going to hurt him one day.

Justin pisses me off so much, he has no boundaries, and although he knows perfectly well I’m not into guys he goes on pushing further. It doesn’t help much that I’m the only female in the school basketball team and get to see him every so often. I open the door and let her pass first then follow avoiding physically contact with the multitudes of people. I hate crowded places that’s why I always hang around in the basement with the guys, it had less people. Crowds like this make me feel anxious, suffocated, lost…

I’m minding my space and business, my priorities for tonight set straight as I follow the girl whose name will remain to be a mystery. I kind of sense the sensation before it happens, with my adrenaline being out of control in crowds and all, but I can’t stop it. And next thing I know, I hear a slapping sound followed by a stinging pain on my left butt cheek, adding another notch of adrenaline to my system. Acting on impulse, I turn making hard contact with my fist and the face of whoever who was behind me.

“What the fuck- ” I glare at the boy who is now lying on the floor groaning.
