fighting in many years."
"But I watched you getting sloppy."
"What do you mean?" I asked with surprise.
He punched me instead of replying and I saved myself with one hand. He whipped an upper cut, the exact same move I had tried few a moments ago. I saved my face with my other hand and tried to force him back. He bluffed like he moved back, but instead of falling back he fell on ground with his hand pushed on the surface and dropped a circular kick parallel to ground. It hit me on my shin and I fell down in a second.
"I said that." He gave me a hand. I took his hand to stand up. Everybody around us was clapping. But I didn't feel ashamed, because I was going to train with that guy.
"Thanks, Mason. You haven't changed at all. But before I commit myself to your training, I want to know what you were doing there?"
"Long story short, your future mother-in-law is planning a strike against you."
"Oh, she isn't my mother-in-law."
"Don't kid me. You married a girl before getting out of college and you want me to believe you?"
"And you slept with her in less than ten months after I married her." I laughed and hugged him, tightly. I missed his friendship, and for the first time in five years, I felt the ground between us was settling. "Whatever is in the past is over. Why, she called you?"
"She offered me a project over the phone. I went because of her offer, and it was damn lucrative. She called me for a business lunch and I accepted the offer. But when I got there, she had a different offer."
"I didn't get you, man." We walked outside of the ring. People were waiting for us to get back in again and fight, but we had different plans.
"She asked me to get you out of Eva's life, by any means."
"What?" I couldn't believe it.
"And the surprising thing was that she had every ounce of information about you and me. She offered me a good project and personal recommendations to get the job done."
"You should have taken that offer, man." I smiled.
"Don't be a jerk. I know your sarcasm. I said sorry a thousand times, already." He replied in an honest voice.
"Okay, apology accepted. Tell me, what did you say to her?"
"I said no. How could I say yes? I have already done the damage once, I didn't want to do it again with you. Purgatory wouldn't be enough for me."
"Thanks, buddy. Eva’s mother is becoming a pain in the ass," I said. She was truly trying everything in her arsenal to get me out of Eva's life. But I decided I would do anything to save our relationship.
"We're starting the training tomorrow." He patted me on my back and walked to the changing room. I turned back to face the amateur opponent my coach had offered a while back. I needed a moral win.
Chapter 12
Eva
I waved good bye to Chloe and entered my university canteen. Over the past month, the canteen had become my favorite place to meet Nathan. That way I got to spend time with him, and once we finished I could go right to class. I looked at my watch; he was already late. Why are these men always late? I took my cell out to call him.
"Yes, babe," he replied in husky voice.
"Where are you?" I asked in an irritated voice. He was already late, and that meant less time to spend with him.
"At your table," I heard him near me, like a surround sound system. I looked around and he thumped onto the chair next to me. His gym bag hung over his shoulder like a pendulum. His sleeveless gym t shirt showed his rock-solid biceps, arousing me in the bright sunlight. His perfect shoulder muscles screamed beneath his t-shirt for my bite. Instead, I bit my lower lip.
"With your gym bag?" I wanted to grab him there and kiss him hard.
"Just finished my training session with Mason. That's why I’m little late."
I wanted to scold him for coming late, but he dropped this bomb on me. Yesterday, he had talked about killing Mason and today he was training with him. Just yesterday, they traded with knifes and swords at the lunch. I thought I had heard something wrong. "Did you
