Ashely P. O. V.
I can’t believe him! Why would he say that he knows very well he doesn’t have feelings for me! Yeah! We mates don’t mean he has any feelings for me except for hate.
Lust is not the same as love.
After the hurt, Jayson did it to me. I started walking away from him. I thought maybe he would come after me as he did before. But when I didn’t hear his footsteps. I should feel happy, but instead, I felt disappointed.
I went to the library and got some books.
I didn’t want to see him. I hate him.
I hate him.
But you miss him? I heard Envy say.
Just maybe you missed understanding him. Did you think about that?” Come on now! You know he’s not lying to you about what he told you; he has feelings and loves you.” She told me to try to make myself see I have been a baby and to listen to my heart and not my stubborn head.
Once I got out of the bookstore and went home. I pulled up, and I saw that Jayson was home.
Huh, that’s weird; he never homes before me, I thought.
“Wow, I thought Ashley really stalked much?,” I told myself. I hope no one hears me. Once I shut off the car. I opened the door and closed it. Then, I started walking up to my driveway.
“Mom, Dad!” you home” I yelled out when I locked the front door.
“Hello? Anybody home,” I yelled out again but no answer.
Maybe they are already in bed. It is getting late. After school, I was in the woods and then went to the bookstore. I wanted another book in the series I am reading. So, I went ahead and bought two more books.
Once I got them, I left the store and went home.
After I walked in my house calling for my mom and dad when I walked in the door.
I see it was empty. My parents were gone. They must be out shopping, and they will be back later.
Once I got my bottle of water and a banana I walked out of the kitchen and went upstairs to my room.
I am lying on my bed. When I was done with my homework, I grabbed the first book I was reading to finish it.
Before I could finish the last chapter, I heard a beep. That’s when I saw my phone lighting up with Bud’s name on it.
My trainer.
Damn! I forgot I got in a fight tonight!!
But I didn’t train all week because I was with Jayson.
So, I put my book down. I started answering the phone.
Ashely, I am trying to call you all week?” Where have you been” He asked me.
I don’t want him to know I have not been training for the fight coming up. I should have been training and not other things I thought with a blush.
“Oh, hey Bud, I am so sorry I didn’t return your call.” I told him.
“I have been busy with school?” I told him a lie.
“Oh well, you are coming tonight?” I heard him. But my mind was somewhere else.
So, I told him.
“Yes, I am coming.” I told him. I hung up the phone.
Hey Ashely, I saw Bud in the ring with another girl hitting his hands with her gloves.
She doesn’t look older than fifteen.
That’s when I realized I recognized her. She was the little fireball that was angry and hot that little playboy the last time I was training.
Jayson was in here, but he knew that younger guy. So, I remember leaving and Jayson followed me out of my vehicle.
Stop it!
Ashely, remember he used you and you need to that.
So, stop thinking about that asshole!
So, now you’re in the gym. It’s time for training for the last time.
You’re fighting that hard ass bitch that wants to destroy me.
Sunshine! But somehow, she knows me somehow?
I still don’t recognize her yet, but something tells me I will.
Hit. Punch. Hit. Punch.
I keep hitting the bag. I see Bud is still training with the girl’s name is Arabella! I giggled because the girl beat the hell out of that boy Brady and then he did something that upset her.
He kissed her.
But then she stopped fighting him and started kissing him back. But something broke the kiss and she started hitting him and took off.
He is staring at her with a cocky grin on his smug handsome face.
So, she keeps hitting his gloves and she stops but doesn’t look back. But that’s when I saw that boy walking inside the door.
Brady.
Oh, No, this is not going to be good. If he likes Jayson Woods then I hope she beats the living hell out of him!
“Hey, Arabella!” She huffed out a breath and I saw her face.
She was annoyed by him being close inside the ring he jumped in.
“Brady” she said without looking over her head at him.
I stop hitting the bag and I am trying not to smile when I see him trying to run away from her temper.
“Leave me alone asshole!” we hear in the gym.
“Why will I do that princess,” I heard him say in a smug voice.
“Please Brady! leave me alone!” She tries again but now he is right behind her.
That when he grabs her and she gasps and froze.
“I don’t want too princess,” He said, breathing down in her ear.
Damn! I wondered where the popcorn was. This freaking show I don’t want to stop watching.
I look around us and no one is hitting or working out because we all are staring at the hate and love show with these two younger fighters.
But the time I saw him trying to kiss behind her neck. I heard a groan because she elbowed him in the stomach.
“Fuck!” I heard him cry out.
I giggled and I saw Arabella smirk and started climbing out of the ring.
Sorry,” I heard her say walking away from the ring with the boy bending over his feet holding on to his stomach.
Then he got up and started walking toward the ring. That’s when I saw she was gone and he chased after her on the other side of the gym.
I chuckled and shook my head, and I was about to go back to hit the bag, but I stopped because of that when I heard the door, and I froze because I knew that scent and the footsteps. Why does he have to be in here right now?
I am trying to train and get ready for the fight tomorrow night. It’s the biggest and the last fight I will ever have.
But I wanted to look behind me and I wanted to run to him. But then I remember what he did to me.
That was when I started training and I didn’t see him. He didn’t get a chance to see me.
Because I was in the back, and it hid from everyone. I could see them, but they could not see me.
