the red convertible...

Few steps away, a red convertible Porsche 911 stopped in front of Abby.

A tall blonde man, well, 2 inches short from Rome. He is 6 foot 6.

Handsome dude wearing USC jacket.

He got jumped out of the car.

"Babe."

"Babe."

Abby and the guy kissed.

After that, Abby jumped into the car.

She then saw Rome looking at her.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

"Babe, I didn't know ur so early at the gym. If I knew, I could go with u."

The blonde guy talked.

His words cut the words of Abby for Rome.

The guy drove and did not even look at Rome standing watching at them.

Abby withdrew her gaze to Rome but she stole a glance at Rome at the mirror as they drove forward.

Rome stood there with no expression. He returned to the gym.

An hour later. Breathing heavily.

"Ahhhh. fukk it."

He took off towards a car dealer.

He was so stimulated earlier by the Porsche 911. Haha

He want a car too. Hahaha

Down at Mercedes Benz.

He is touching a silver G wagon.

"Can I get inside to try?"

Rome asked the old sales man guy.

"Of course. With ur height, there are not much cars that can make u comfortable. But this bad boy is built for u." Smooth talker old man.

Hearing his answer, Rome nearly want to give him money to praise him. The guy knew how to talk. Haha

Taking it for a lap, he paid paid 110,000 dollars for the car.

Then an extra bicycle. What can he say, would he drive a car at 6am to go to the gym or bike there for a cardio?

Bike of course. Maybe he'll move to Amsterdam, it would be useful.

So happy to buy a car.

Also the interior is slick black leather and he can move as much as he want because it has high ceiling and big seats.

The old guy said the truth really, the car is built for him.

Next, Rome drove around the neighborhood for vacant houses.

He chose to look around the university premises houses because the security is good and the ones who live here are either old people and same people who likes the quite vibe of the university village.

No worry of lousy and loud students because the dorms are on the other side of the town, also the fraternity and sorority houses not here either.

Running for nearly half an hour, he finally found a house for sale.

Total area is 370 sqm with 250 sqm house area.

Three car garage with extra 2 cars at the street.

2 story house with 7 bedrooms and 8 comfort rooms.

Two living rooms and one big kitchen.

Has a basement and an attic.

Entertainment room slash theater room.

A complete gym with a sauna.

A basketball court. That's the important because he started to play now.

And in LA, homes have one thing in common, swimming pools. Yes. The house has a swimming pool. Hehe

He and the real estate agent went to the bank and paid the whole amount of 5.5 million.

Sign with lawyers and whatnot.

Lawyers man. Gotta have lawyers. Good lawyers.

Finally, Rome got the key to their new house.

Sitting at the backyard, staring at the green lawn with a pond. Then the swimming pool.

"Mom won't cry again, right?"

"Nah. She will cry. Hehe."

The following days. Exactly 3 weeks.

The days can be called dull and monotonous for Rome.

Exercise in the gym the whole day then go home.

Living the dream. Haha

Plus he bought Ana a new car. A range rover. Then a motorcycle for himself.

Even if Anna is 54, she drives and very hard working.

Well, her job is very demanding because these old guys and ladies have no one.

"Hey Rome. Time for lunch."

Abby entered the gym in her sorority shirt.

Beside her are two girls who he is familiar now.

During 3 weeks.

The original big belly seemed to be a dream.

Now its gone.

Tho he is not ripped but his body is developing in that direction.

His shoulders starting to form. His abdominal muscles can be visible now.

What's surprising is his face changed. Gone was the fatty face.

Now, he is handsome. In his opinion. Gotta be confident.

As for him and Abby?

Nothing really.

"Shoot. wait. Ill get change."

He shot the ball like nothing. But still went on the net.

"Thats Rome, alright. Do u think he'll shoot still if its dark?" The girl grinned.

"Ohh. Then work it off girl. Abby must giving him extra motivation and not by speech. If u know what I mean."

"Hahaha. And ur thirsty."

"No. U are."

Rome is officially a member of the team.

No suspense when John and David saw his flat stomach last week.

Of course they inquired if he took some drugs or underwent surgery.

Fuck. He is taking 5 slimming pills a day. He sure will be losing his fat belly.

As for his weight now? Must be 140kg or so.

Still fat but his size ables him to be good in such weight.

But its still far from the target weight.

The other players on the court also clamored.

Yeah. They are now practicing as a team as November draws in for the Pac10 tournament.

But also for the invitational games or exhibition games are what they are practicing now for because this weekend, they will play the UCLA at Pauley Pavilion.

Ucla because same town.
