action 2
I am coming there.
It was Emily's text. It was Wednesday morning, 6 am. I was the happiest person on the planet.
When?
Hmm, I think, I will be there at 6 in the evening, we have a meeting, we will stay somewhere.
Come to my house, I mean David's house. We will have a good dinner.
Yeah. See you.
I quickly changed to sportswear and went for jogging. Yeah, I wanted my chest to pop up. And my abs to look like most gorgeous in the world. I did a lot of cardio, just for the sake of happiness. Yeah, result were good. I came back after an hour. It was already 7 am. I took shower and changed into a professional secret service agent, yeah, you can say Bond. But it was like John Wick, I wanted to dangerous at the work but sexy at the dinner today. So, you know.
I was sitting on the dining table and grinning, and looking into phone, it was our picture when I picked her up, when we slept in the lawn of her palace. Yeah, those bastards posted that picture all over the internet, we were not so famous but quiet famous for recognizing in her town.
"Good morning. You are looking happy today." Aunt said enthusiastically. David was also with her. He came near the table and sat on his position, Aunt followed him.
"Good morning, I am really happy."
"What happened?" David asked.
"Emily is coming. At 6 pm. She will stay for the night and will go back tomorrow morning. She had some meetings or something."
"That's a great news." Aunt said. "I think we should have a dinner."
"Yes, she will have a dinner with us." David looked worried.
"What about the room for staying? I mean you both can stay with each other but, I think your room is smaller to fit you two, I mean your bed is too small." I laughed. "What?" He was annoyed.
"Ha, she could probably buy something at our neighbor." Their eyes widened. "Yeah, she is a billionaire or something. She can buy anything, literally anything."
"Oh, it's good then. Does she eats normal vegetables or she eats expensive food?" Aunt questioned. I laughed again.
"No, I mean she eats like normal. But she is not vegetarian."
"Ha, how lucky we are!" David snapped happily. Aunt did a drama about sorrow, but she was really happy.
"What is going on? It's so much noise." Amelia came outside. She was rubbing her eyes.
"Emily is coming here." David answered. "I think you should behave in front of her."
"What? I mean it's a good thing. But what have I done to behave." She was fully awake now. But her eyes told me everything, she was happy.
"Emily is John's girlfriend, probably more than that. And she would not be happy to see you do those kind of things with John." David warned again. Amelia was leaning towards wall, she was smiling.
"Nah, don't strain yourself, Emily knows about Amelia, I mean everything. She said Amelia is a kid and Amelia has a right to do whatever she wants." Amelia was in shock.
"You told her about everything that I said you on the dining table, I mean those conditions and everything?"
"Yeah, she is so cool. She is the calmest person I have ever met, more than me. And she doesn't love to bind someone with her, or she doesn't want to bind herself by someone. She is just happy at everything, now." My voice choked. I couldn't say the words. I mean, I couldn't think of words, there were no word defining her personality. Amelia came near me and rested her hand on my shoulder.
"Its okay, John. You will do great today. Don't take too stress, it's just your old love. Or just a love." Aunt said in small voice. "You never showed me her photo, I mean you never showed us her photo." I blushed, I mean more than ever. I picked the phone and showed the selfie of mine with her, it was on the hill.
"She looks beautiful. I am jealous of her." Amelia's eyes widened.
"Yeah, she is more beautiful than actress in Hollywood." Aunt said.
"Yeah, it's without makeup. I have a photo of her with makeup. Here." I showed them the photo of the party when I proposed her. She was in pink beautiful and gorgeous dress.
"Is she a princess or something?" Jimmy asked. I screamed.
"Hey, man. Just give us some hints of coming you know, I was scared first time."
"It's Jimmy Cornell way, my friend, you should also learn it." He taunted me. I like this kid.
"No, she is not princess, but she owns a palace and so many cars."
"That is what princess means." Oh, I didn't thought.
"Hmm, she is really beautiful. I think you should wear something good today, not just jeans and t shirt." Aunt said.
"Nah, no point of disrespect, but she will not wear fancy, all that she will wear is, a jeans a pink top and combat boots, or sometimes jacket but pink." Everybody laughed.
__
As she was expected, she was wearing the same things. No jacket. I was wearing same things, just like old times, it was one year. I was waiting outside with Amelia and Jimmy.
"What car do you think she will bring today?" This was a question asked by great Jimmy Cornell, what a toddler.
"Hmm, let's see. BMW, nah she will not bring. I know what car she will bring."
"Which?" He couldn't handle the suspense.
"Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. I also have one of those." His eyes widened.
"I don't about the cars so much." He sighed.
"You watched fast and furious?"
"Yeah, wait no."
"Yes, the Dom's car."
"Whoa!!!" He shouted like crazy. "I am the luckiest man on this planet. Can I get a ride in it?'
"Yeah, why not. We will go to your school in it."
"You are awesome."
"I know." And here she comes, my darling, I am talking about the car, okay.
She stopped in front of the house. Mike came out, I mean one of the mike came out, Emily came out, and I sobbed. My heart sank.
Mike gave me a smile and gave me the keys, he saluted me. "Hello sir, I am Special Security Head Mike."
"Hello, I am inspector Clifford, Stamford Police station. Nice to meet you Mike. And you can speak." He laughed and so do I.
"Yeah, I can."
"You are a good bodyguard. Thanks for keeping her safe. I mean thanks for everything." I gave him a hug. "You are really good." I whispered in his ears. He didn't gave me hug, I mean he just stood upright.
I turned towards Emily. And here she was, always beautiful.
"How much time passed? I think a year. You look old." I rested my both hands on her shoulder, I looked in her happy blue eyes. They were cool like ocean currents. And calm like a sea. I gave her a hug, I started crying, and she ruffled through my hairs and pushed me back.
"Kids are watching us, you are making me embarrassed." I stepped back.
"Oh, go on we don't have any problem." Jimmy announced.
"Oh, meet Jimmy, Amelia." They waved hi to each other.
"You are beautiful in real life too." Amelia said. She was scanning her face like any mask or something.
"Um, I think we should go in, David and aunt is waiting." I held Emily's hand and dragged her inside. I stopped. I turned. "Mike wait, would you like to have a dinner with us?" I asked him loudly. He hesitated. "Oh, come on. You don't have your partner to eat with." Then other mike emerged from nowhere. And stand beside him. "Oh, I am sorry. You guys carry on." I turned and quickly got inside.
Plates were ready. Emily was sitting between Aunt and David. No she was not sitting near me. And I didn't have a problem with that. We started eating.
"So, how long it will take to heal your leg?" Emily asked.
"Hmm, I think a month or two." Emily turned towards me.
"Why are you causing trouble by going to New York with her? You can go after some time." I didn't answered. I just kept smiling.
"No, he is not causing any trouble. I have not gone out for like months, so he wants me to go to New York and do some shopping."
"Okay. But you should be careful." Aunt gave her a nod. She was also smiling.
"How is uncle?" I asked her.
"He is fine and also aunt. Peter made inside Manchester United." I gave her a nod. He was very good.
"Who is Peter?" Jimmy the great asked.
"Peter is my cousin." I answered.
"Manchester United, you mean football team?" His eyes widened.
"Yep."
"He is in that club?!"
"Yep."
"You are awesome. You know how to play football, I mean soccer?"
"Yep."
"He trained Peter for the trials." Emily quickly added.
"Nah, he was good, I just pushed his limits, you know."
"You trained a plater to get into MU?" Jimmy's eyes widened with shock and fear.
"Yep."
"That means, you are better than him." Hmm, Jimmy the great was really great.
"Um, you can say that."
"You are really awesome. What other secrets do you have?" Jimmy asked. I sighed.
"I can play every famous game, but not cricket."
"Hmm, so about academics?" Jimmy is genius.
"He has read over 100 books, and love to read so much." Amelia answered.
"I didn't know that." Emily said glaring at me. I kind of felt awkward.
"I started this year." I answered. "I brought kindle to read books, every week minimum 3 books. That's my goal."
"Whoa! You are becoming studious." Emily showed her feelings.
"Yeah, I need it. It's a stress relief and I don't feel alone when I read books." I looked downwards. I couldn't see in her eyes.
"You are not alone, you have got a good family." Emily broke the ice.
"Yeah, you have got us." Aunt said.
"I didn't mean in that way. I sometimes cannot forget my mom is dead. I just wanted to drift my thinking on the other way." David kept his hand on my shoulder.
"You are doing great, okay. Just don't take too stress, and for the books, reading always helps."
"Yeah."
"So, where are you staying?" David asked Emily. His most awaited doubt.
"Hmm, in his room." She said quickly. I felt awkward.
"The bed is not that big, I mean, you know, we could feel congested." I told her awkwardly. Aunt was smiling, Jimmy didn't know what we were talking about, and Amelia was just looking towards Emily. She was blank.
"Okay, is neighborhood empty, I mean the house?" She asked. David was assured.
"Hmm, I don't think so." David answered.
"I think you should go back to your hotel." I sighed. But it had to.
"No, she will not go alone. John, you are going with her, and spend some time with each other." Aunt said, in very wrong way, even Jimmy understood.
"I don't have any problem, but what about tomorrow's school, you know, I have to drop the kids." I sighed, again. I really wanted to spend time with her.
"Oh don't worry about the children, mike will drop them." Emily assured.
"Can we go to school in tank?" Jimmy asked. What?
"What? I mean you can go, but it's not available right now. You can go in Jeep or BMW X5 or something. Or just Audi. Which one do you prefer?" Emily asked.
"Anything." Jimmy answered quickly. We all laughed. And she was really right, she could afford anything in the world. Yeah, I can also, but my orbits are somewhat limited.
__
"Ok, bye. I will come tomorrow." I started the engine, yeah, my car. And headed directly towards the hotel. She was staying at The J House Greenwich, yeah, it's really expensive. It was south of the Stamford, I think riverside. So we went there.
__
"Hmm, it's really good." We were entering in the hotel, it was full of glass. Yeah, glass.
I parked the vehicle, it was like 10 minutes from our house. We went in our room. It was 9.30 pm. I sat on the bed.
"So, where is Angelica?" I asked her. She was changing her clothes. Nah, I didn't look in to her. Man, I never forget my values.
"She is sleeping, she had so much work today."
"Okay." I glanced towards the room. It was somewhat like her old room. But no music instruments. Yeah, a massive TV and a massive sofa. And nearly everything good. I quickly changed my clothes, to night dress. Before she could even see me. I did some facewash. And sat on the bed. She was doing something, I think some signatures, yeah, and she is doing well. I went near her, I gave her a one hand hug. She smiled. I picked up the pen from her hand, and kept it aside.
I turned her towards me, I helped her to stand up.
"Wait." I quickly switched on the music channel. I went back near her, kept my left hand behind her back, and her right hand on my shoulder. I held her left hand in my right. I rested my head on her shoulder. "I missed you." I whispered. I didn't wait for the response, we went with the rhythm. We just danced together, our heads were each other's shoulders. We just danced.
After like 5 minutes or something. I picked her up in my arms and went near the bed. I dropped her on the bed.
"So, you are ready now?" She asked me. I lay besides her. I was looking in her eyes and playing with her hairs.
"I am not virgin anymore."
"What?" she was shocked and angry. "Who is that girl?"
"I don't know."
"What you mean, you don't know?"
"I used to hook up with girls when my memory was good, so I am physically not a virgin but psychologically I am."
"Okay."
"I am 21, you are 19. I am legally ready to do anything. And so do you." I kissed her and, you know. I don't want to talk about that, I mean, it was my first time, we both didn't knew what to do (Although I did it so many times.), it was kind of a mess.
__
Well, it was a sunny day. I was sleeping until 11 am. I didn't want to let go of her waist, I was just hugging her while asleep. Yeah, she was really warm, the AC was cool, and we were in same blanket. That was the nicest feeling I have ever had. After some time, I was just looking towards her face, she was asleep, and there was a bang on the door. Yeah, literally.
I quickly got up, and wore the night dress. I opened the door. Angelica was there.
"Hi. How are you?" I asked her nervously.
"Can I come in?" she asked. I stepped back and sat on the sofa. She was good on the chair. "I am good. I think, she should get up now."
"I am up." Emily said, a very hard yawn. Her face was shining in the sun rays. "I thought, we don't have anything today." She got up.
"No, we don't have, but we should get going, I mean we will leave at 2 pm." My face got darkened.
"Why? Why are you leaving so early? I thought you had a private plane."
"Yes we have. But there is some unfinished business." Emily sat near me. She rested her hand in my shoulder.
"I will come back next week. Then time we will go for some shopping and other things." I looked down.
"Okay." I couldn't speak much. My voice cracked. Angelica stood up.
"So, I will wait in my room. Just knock when you are ready to go." She went out.
I looked towards Emily, her eyes were full of tears. I dragged her near me, I placed her head on my chest, and started ruffling with her hairs. I just couldn't do anything for her. She just hugged me, my chest felt some water droplets.
"I really missed you." She was crying hard. My eyes were also full of tears.
"I missed you too. Its okay." she was not stopping.
"I don't want to stay alone in that town. I want to be with you. I don't want to be any CEO or anything. I just want you." She was just crying. Her voice choked. She wanted to speak more. But she couldn't.
"It's okay. You have to try, for some time. I have some unfinished business, and I will call you, or I will come there. We will find some solution." I picked her chin and wiped her tears. "You should not cry from now. You don't have to." She wiped her eyes. She let go of me. And stood up.
"Did I do it better last night?" I widened my eyes. "At the dinner, you are so crazy." Oh, hmm. I stood up and placed my both hands on her shoulders.
"Yeah, you were great."
"Okay, I think you should change." She turned towards her bag. "I have something for you, I think you should wear it. Here." Ugh, my tuxedo, first one, yeah pink one. "Hey, you have to wear it." I could do anything for her, then this is just a tuxedo. I will wear it full day. Yeah, I took it from her hand and placed it on the bed. I grabbed her hand and dragged her near me.
"Wanna bath with me?" I whispered in her ears.
"Yes, darling. I would love to, but just a bath nothing else."
"Of course just a bath." And we went in.
__
Of course I wore that pink suit, but I wore a tie but bow. So I was less disgusting. Yeah, this was the least something that I can do, for her. We ate lunch together with Angelica, yeah, at hotel only.
"So, next week then?" I asked her, they were ready to go for the airport. I just couldn't believe that I only spent 12 hours or something less with her.
"Hmm, I think. But we will definitely try. Because we have to come again this month." Angelica answered. I was sad.
"Okay." My voice was cold.
"I will be okay, just take care of the new family. They are good and you will do great. I am so sure." Emily answered. She was also sad.
"Yeah," I turned towards Mikes, yeah they were both of them. "I have faith on you two."
"Yes sir." They said in unison.
"Yeah, so you should leave now." And that was it. No. "Take care you all." Yeah, and that was it. They climbed in their fancy cars and went in the direction of airport. I turned towards my car, yeah the fast and furious one, and drove it to home.
__
"So, how was it?" Asked Amelia. Completely jealous. Sounded the whole world's bitterness in one sentence. We were eating dinner. I was in my pink tuxedo only, because I had no time to change my clothes, the police station and things. I was just waiting for my first, I mean my first after memory loss, assignment.
"What?" I was playing innocent, Jimmy didn't care, and aunt and David were smiling.
"I mean, how was spending time together?" She was really frustrated.
"Why do you care? It's between two greatest lovers." I taunted.
"Ugh, I am also your girlfriend, you should tell me."
"Hmm, I am just dating you, I am not your boyfriend legally."
"Argh, you have to tell me, what happened between you two." Jimmy looked up, yeah he understood now.
"Calm down girl. We just talked with each other and then we danced on our favorite song and then we ate ice cream."
"You don't like ice cream, because of your diet."
"I like everything Emily gives to me, even this suit. See, how beautiful." I was really being annoyed. But aunt and David were silent, they were just watching us like a comedy movie.
"Ugh, whatever." She just ate the dish with full of anger. I felt bad for her. I wanted to ask why she is doing this all.
"Okay, Amelia we are going for a walk, after the dinner. Just you and me." Her face turned red. David was confused. "I think, we couple need some private time. What do you think aunt?"
"Hmm, I think it's a good idea. You need it. Go on." She understood what I meant. She can read minds.
__
"Okay, we should go now." I told her. I was wearing hoodie and shorts. It was not cold but, bad weather for wearing t shirt. Amelia was blushing. David was also looking towards me. "We are just going for a walk, I am kidnapping her." I turned towards Amelia. I offered her a hand. "Let's go, darling." David was in pure shock. Amelia was red as a tomato. She stretched her hand. I took her arm on mine and dragged her near me. Our waist were touching each other's while walking.
The road was full of benches on side of the road. I went far away from the house, like nobody from house could see us. We sat on one of them. She was scared now, she wasn't holding my hand, I was holding her.
"So, I know you don't like it. Why are you doing this?" I asked her in a very concerned voice. She hesitated. She was confused but she didn't want to tell me. I dragged her near me, and rested her head on my shoulder, I took her hand in mine. "You can share your secret, I can see your eyes, and they are full of sorrow and pain, why?" She quickly took of her head from shoulder. Her hand was now warm. I rested her head on my shoulder gently, not to hurt her feelings. I patted her on cheeks and placed my hand on her hand again. "You can tell me. And I will try to solve. You can trust me." I looked into her eyes, I reassured her. She was really in pain. I don't know how, but there is something magic in the eyes, when you look into them, energy transforms from one person to another. I could feel her heavy burden, I was feeling like I am started to carry that.
After some seconds, I was just waiting, I didn't want to push her. It's really delicate with the teenager's feelings. So I just looked forward not even in her eyes, honestly, I was scared. Yes I was, she had a deep secret buried deep inside her. I was thinking about this, but my thinking interrupted by a cold tear on my hand. I quickly turned towards her, her eyes were heavy.
"It's okay, I think you should cry some, cry out, just throw out that feeling." She squeezed my hand hard. She started crying, I didn't stop her. Crying is the best way to let out feelings. People should cry so much time. It gives new fresh energy to do something new. After like a minute, I looked in her eyes, they were being normal. She hugged me, she was just like that for some seconds. Her tears, I could feel them, I mean from the sweatshirt. I also hugged her. I put my hand back of her head. I just ruffled her hairs. "It's okay, I am with you. I will be with you." She was not ready to look up, she buried her face in my chest. "Hey, it's okay. I am here. Now you should stop." She looked up, I wiped her eyes with my sleeves. Her right hand was around my waist. My left hand was around her shoulder. I squeezed her shoulder. "Is it about the boy?" She gave me a nod. "So, what happened?" I rested her head on my shoulder, again. She was good now.
"It's not about love, but."
"Hmm, well?"
"He really tortures me every day, his dad is from a gang or something. He always wanders with big people. We couldn't even fight him. He always had some guards." What? Just this? Oh come on, I was hoping about the love story. "I like one boy. But this bully always around me every time. So I cannot even meet him." Oh, I got it. Hmm, nice story, romantic but action.
"So, you thought if I will come with you, he will stay away?"
"Yes, I thought. And it is working."
"But what will happen after I will go, I will not always be with you?" It was dumbest thing to say. But it was truth. She started to transform into a sad alone soul. And I didn't want that. "Okay, I didn't mean that, I will be always with you, but what if I have some work in other country and I will be out for a month. Then what?"
"I don't know. I don't care about the boy I like, I care about myself, he really troubles me a lot." Hmm, nice attitude.
"Okay, what do you want from me? I mean should I fight those guys, or whip his dad's ass? What can I do?"
"I don't know. I can fight him alone, I am scared about the guards."
"Okay, tomorrow you are going to whip his ass. When he comes to school?"
"At 10 am."
"Hmm, so how many guards he comes with?" just you know curiosity. Nah, I am scared not because of fighting, just in case if someone releases from my attack, he will hurt Amelia. So you know.
"10 sometimes 8." Ok. I can get those much.
"We will do the ass whipping thing after 10 days. You need training."
"I can fight him." I am proud of her. She is really a fighter.
"No, not for him. What if someone from the guards attack you. I mean I can fight so many people but, I cannot hold them at any place, they will come after you. So you have to be prepared. What you say?" Her eyes were shining. Her confidence rose from nowhere.
"Okay. But I won't stop dating you." She kissed me on cheeks. Ugh, these girls. Complicated and confused.
"okay." I sighed. We stood up, this time she was holding my hand. She was leading.
After some minutes, we were at home. David was standing there. Oh, how caring father.
"So, what happened?"
"Hmm, he will be my boyfriend forever." She announced. Oh, god. And she went inside.
"I don't know what she is talking about."
"Oh, then its okay."
"I want to talk to you both."
"Who?"
"Aunt and you. I will be in your room after everyone asleep. I want to talk to about her."
"Okay."
I told them everything about the bully and the conversation, aunt was crying. "I think I will handle it. And most important is, you should chat with your kids. I mean, just casually and also seriously. Both. Because I will not be there always with you, I mean my assignment will come and I have to go for missions like months or sometimes two."
"Yeah, I know." David also had tears in his eyes. I patted on his shoulders.
"I am not saying to intercept in their life, just be known to them. And they shouldn't consider you as stranger. I mean, no offence but you should divert some of your attention rather than just work. You have to."
"Yeah, I am sorry, you have been through this." I wiped his eyes.
"No, I am responsible for this. Because I have to ask her on the first day, but it's okay, it's not too late."
"Thank you. You are doing so much for us." Aunt said, she couldn't control her tears. I sat on my knees, I held her hand in mine. I wiped her eyes. I looked in her eyes directly.
"Don't ever cry in front of me. And I am just paying my rent. And get ready, we are going to New York."
"Yeah. I will. But, thanks." I just patted her hand. And stood up, I turned towards David. I took his hand and placed on his chest.
"Follow it." I patted on his back. And went out of the room.
__
I woke up at 5.30 and went in Amelia's room. I banged on the door. Very hard.
"Open the door." I was shouting. After some tries she opened the door.
"What do you want? It's 5 in the morning." I went in and sat on her bed. She was half asleep.
"Well, the training begins." I yelled at her. "Change into sportswear and come out in 10 minutes."
"No not this early, we could go after 7."
"I am going, you have to be present there." I started walking out.
"I am not coming." I turned.
"Okay, I will not drive you to school from now, I have my friends, and they will drop you. I am going to sleep and I will wake up after 10." I waited for her answer. Her face darkened. I smiled. She was really scared of that guy. She sighed.
"Okay, I will be there in 10 minutes."
__
"So, we are going to my gym, I mean I own it. It's just for me. It's is half a mile from here." I was outside house.
"So, where is the car?"
"Nah, we are going to run. We need warm up. You have to run as fast as you can."
"Okay."
We started, first jogging. Then she started speeding up. It was easy for me. But she was already bathing in sweat. She started slowing down.
"No, don't stop. See, there it is. We are here." I showed my place, it was 200 meters apart but it seems near. So she kept her speed.
We were in front of the medium garage, I mean, it was a car storage vault, I could occupy 10 cars at a time, so I converted it into my gym. I pulled the shutter. I switched on lights. It was dark outside.
"What the hell? I mean you train here?" yeah, it was really good. I have hired a special manager to build this place. Should I describe it? Ok.
"Yes. I train here. So to your right we have two punching bags, one kicking bag. To your left we have all the gym equipment, from low and heavy, no medium. I have machines also, all type of them. A mat, for a spongy surface. I train slam in it. And 5 dummies, two for kicking and punching and two for smacking, one, I don't know, I just bought it. And that's it."
"It looks like pro boxing or MMA gym. You are really awesome." Yeah, it looks like pro gym. I kind of wanted a pro gym, so you know, investing in health and self-defense is better than buying property and helicopters. Ha, I am awesome.
"Yeah, thanks." I turned towards her. "Well start stretching." I turned towards my locker. I mean it was more of an equipment room. I keep my straps and other essentials in it. I again turned towards her. "You know stretching, right?" She gave me a nod. I went in the room and picked up knuckle straps and some pads. I kept down pads, because it was her first day. I just got straps and came out. She was stretching, not perfectly but, not too dull.
"Well, watch me." I told her. I started doing my hand and limbs stretching, you do it while in lower position of squat, it's really good. After some time we did some shoulder and all other body parts. "Ok. Rest for 30 seconds. Breath long." She was not complaining, I thought she was loving this. "Now, how many pushups you can do?"
"10."
"Okay, do 10 pushups, set of 3. And after that 15 crunches set of 3. You ready?"
"Yes."
"Start."
I started doing the pushups, when you do pushups, the most important thing is posture and not repetitions. It gives a perfect exercise for muscles. So go down slowly and come back up, in same plank, don't even bend your lower back. I took off my t short, I was wearing a red innerwear.
After doing all the exercises, she was looking towards the knuckle wraps. I gave her a nod. "So, first start wrapping it by putting your smallest finger in the hook. And then wrap every finger with it, and after that cover your knuckles, but most important thing is your wrist cover it as much as possible, tighten it at your knuckles."
"Why?" I held her hand, and started wrapping it, I did it for both of her hands. Perfectly.
"When you punch on the bag, our wrist takes all the thrust, this all wrapping thing is protection for wrist and not for knuckles. Yeah, it's important for knuckles also, but more for the wrist. So every time punching on the bag, wear the wraps, tightly to your…"
"Wrist."
"Don't punch bag without wearing…"
"Wraps."
"Yes. Now, are you southpaw or orthodox?"
"Um, I don't know. What is that?"
"Are you right handed or left handed, I mean which is your strong hand?"
"I am right handed, and I can punch hard by my right hand."
"Nice, so orthodox style is for right handed people and southpaw for left handed. So you are orthodox. You know the stance?"
"Um, I know a little."
"Show me." She turned into the position of boxing, but her legs were not perfectly apart, and they were not in perfect angle. "Ok, first and foremost rule of fighting, legs are very important. Even if you are punching, legs help to balance your weight. So increase the angle between the legs. Perfect. Ok. Your upper body is good. Ok let's do some punching, not hard, we just want to land it, we don't want to break the bag, just perfect landing of the punch. Okay." we went near the bag.
"Okay, watch me first. Come in a position, just stretch your right hand on the bag, just touch it, concentrate on you straightness of the punch. A perfect jab with no power, just concept. Okay, you ready." She came near the bag. "Position." She came in the position. "Just stretch your arm, okay. Punch." She did well. "Perfect. Just do it some more time, don't hit it too hard, just concentrate on the form, we will put power tomorrow, okay."
"Okay." She started doing it. I went to the left side of the hall, it's was my leg and shoulder day. I did some deadlifts, it helps for everything. And some squats, machines and bars. My shoulder was now popped up. Legs muscles were started to take the shape, veins are popping up. I kept going.
"What now?" She shouted towards me. I was done doing my workout and other things, I do it 1 hour every day, I don't do gym so much, I try to do the exercise as much as I can. After practicing for 1 hour I just sat on the bench of bench press, and I was watching her doing her practice. She was looking so serious about this, for one hour she was just stretching her arm, yes, she changed it, of course. But she was so patient in this. I stood up, I was full of sweat. I went near her.
"Now, do you want kick practice today or tomorrow?" I took out my innerwear and rinsed it, ugh, it was full of salt water, I rinsed it in the bucket. It was for that purpose.
"Can I come her in the evening?" She asked. She took off her t shirt and rinsed it in the bucket. She was wearing the sports bra. I turned away.
"I think you should not. I mean from tomorrow, you can come twice, but not today, today, you have to rest, your arm will tell you after your lunch."
"Does it hurt so much?" She asked. She wore it again.
"Hmm, it will hurt you for 2-3 days, it will soar all the muscles, but don't worry, and it will be all right after that. Now, do some post workout stretching. Come with me, we will sit on the mat only."
We did some stretching and everything. We started to leave. I pulled the shutter down. And locked it up. My friends will clean it. Yeah, it's their job, they use it for something, I think academy or something.
"What if they will have guns?" She asked, we were walking back home. She was scared. I took her hand and held it in mine.
"Don't worry, I am going to come for investigation today with my team, and if they will, I will arrest them, and if they have license, I will work something out. Don't worry about it, you have everything else to see, and this training is not for this fight it's is for lifetime."
"Okay, thanks."
"One more thing, you should talk to your parents about everything, I mean at least your problems. They were so worried."
"You told them about this?"
"Yes, I told them. And they have right to know about this. I think you should speak to them about your, everything. I mean they can also help you. They will try at least. It's hard to tell them, but you have to try, you have to." She was sad, I could see tears in her eyes. I stretched my arm around her shoulder. "It's okay, but you should speak to them. And don't cry right now."
"Okay. I will."

"Where were you?" David was waiting outside the gate. It was 8 am in the morning. I turned towards Amelia, I gave her a nod. She walked near David and hugged him. He immediately placed his hand on her hand, she was crying. "Hey, what happened? What did you do John?" He roared at me. I held my hands in the air. I don't know.
"No, John didn't do anything. I am sorry, I didn't tell you about this." She said sobbingly. David set her hairs.
"It's okay, now where were you both?" Her mood lightened.
"We were in John's private gym. I was learning how to fight."
"Why, no. You don't have to. I will take care of that kid."
"No, I mean I don't want to talk in between you, but this fight is not about this kid, it's about her. She loves to fight her own battles. Let her do it alone." I told him quickly but in a serious voice. She gave him a nod. He understood.
"Um, okay. But be careful." He dragged her inside. "You really stinks, you should take a shower." He told her.
__
"Let's go. We will be late." Jimmy was banging on my door. I took a shower and I wanted some peace time. Just for some meditation and strategy for the issue.
"Come in." I said, I stood up.
"Come on, be fast." He was leaning towards the door. I quickly wore my tie and my suit. I was searching for my gun. "I think its there." He pointed out. I took the gun, made sure it's loaded and put it in my case.
"Okay. Amelia's ready?" I asked. I walked out of the room.
"You never asked this question before." Hmm, arrogant, but point was true. "So, is there something going on in between you and her?"
"No, I was just asking, ugh."
"Whatever. She is waiting for 'you' on the table."
"Okay." I went in the kitchen, and made my usual juices. Drank them. And went out.
"So, which car today?" Jimmy asked.
"Same, and I am not Emily. I cannot buy those many cars. This will be my permanent. Hop in." I took out my phone and called my colleagues. "I want you to come to my location with a team of 6 people, just an investigation, or just vigilance."
"What weapon should we come with?"
"Just handguns, and knives. I am not planning an attack. I repeat no attack. Just vigilance."
"Yes sir. We will be there."
"Come at 10, not early."
"Yes sir." I put my phone down. I turned towards Amelia, she understood. She was shotgun, I put my left hand on her shoulder. I gave her a nod. I really need that information before planning an attack.

"Go to your class. Don't worry about anything." I told her. Jimmy was already gone, but she was waiting. She came near me and gave me hug, her face was touching my chest. I cuddled her. I ruffled her hairs. I lifted her chin and caressed her. "It's okay. It's just a fight. Don't worry. It will happen after somedays."
"Okay." She took her bag and went towards her classroom.
I took off my jacket, I mean suit or whatever, and hide it in my car. I waited in my car. Just waited.
At sharp 10, two vehicles parked near the pathway, it was his car. He came out first, and other guards, there were 9 of them. He went into the school, I wanted to follow the vehicle. One of the vehicles turned and went on. I quickly turned my car and went behind it.
After chasing some time, phone rang. No, I don't use walkeie talkies, because I am not police, I use my own satellite phone. Ha. I picked up.
"Sir, we are following you, two cars right behind you." I looked in the mirror.
"Just follow, wait for the orders, and note the number of the vehicle."
"Yes sir."
I kept chasing. After like 10 minutes, the vehicle turned right, it was a big gate. I stopped my car, away from the gate. Just I can see the gate. It was full metal massive gate, it opened, there was two men holding SMG's and one watchman house. Okay, I thought. What if I go in and do some fun, just a covert strike. The gate closed immediately. I got out of the car. I went near the bonnet and just leaned on the car. Kept watching the gate.
"Sir." Sargent came near me.
"Okay, I think the area is full of protection. Who's this man?"
He took out his phone and called someone.
"He is a Russian Mafia man, he controls this state."
"The whole state?" I asked, he seems powerful.
"Yes sir."
"Can I meet him?"
"Um, I don't know. Should I arrange your meeting, legally or illegally?" Clever man.
"Illegally, and only you know I am going to meet him. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir, I will not say a word to anyone."
"Okay, today at dinner, I would love to eat with him."
"You mean, today, sir?"
"Yes, any doubt?"
"No sir. I will fix the meeting. At?"
"Hmm, at 1900 hours."
"Sure sir."
