These past two weeks has been the most relaxing I've had in a really long while. the fact that I don't have to wake up by 6am everyday, I can stay home and binge watch my favorite shows for as long as I want, take naps during the day, go out at night. I've not been able to do all these in a while. I'm not sure I want to go back to work anymore. You guessed it right, that asshole fired me when I got to work the next day, he still hasn't given me my paycheck for the last two months but I'll go back for it soon. I'm glad I forced my ass to save some money earlier, I won't have to worry about going broke for sometime.
I push open the heavy doors of the gym and stride in. For the past two weeks I've been taking defense classes at this gym just down the street, not too far from my house, I think its necessary after what happened that day, I'll like to know how to defend myself just incase something like that happens again. The classes go on in a separate room from the main gym so I walk straight to that room. They're not a lot of people here right now because it's already late in the night.
''Hey Trevor'' I say to the tall blonde standing at the corner texting away on his phone
he looks up from his phone ''oh, hey Tab. You're here'' Trevor is my trainer, but you see, the thing is he's not just my trainer, I and Trevor also have something going on. I met Trevor about 2 months ago at the grocery store, he came to get some grocery for his old aunty who lives a few blocks away from my house, he got my number and we kicked it off immediately, fast forward to a week later and we're already in each other's pants. Trevor's a really nice guy, quite handsome, well built body and is good in bed too but I'm not sure I want to be anything more than friends with benefit with him so I'm rest assured that I won't catch any feelings for him. Anyways, one of those days when we were talking, I mentioned that I was searching for a defense class I could register in and that was when I got to know about this gym that has a defense academy and that he's even the owner of it, he offered to train me in the defense academy since he's the owner of it which brings us to where we are right now.
Making out in the bathroom of the defense class, we don't do this everyday though, some days we actually take the classes serious and other days like today, we just end up fucking in the bathroom or the class itself depending on if people are there but this doesn't happen very often. We do have a reason for today's and that's because Trevor will be out of town for a while so we're just trying to get enough satisfaction to last us till he's back.
Trevor had to go pick his sister from wherever it is she went, he mentioned where but I wasn't really paying attention so in about an hour time we were done. I sniff taking in as much fresh night air as I possibly can and plug in my earpiece as I start the walk back home, I decide to take the alleyway back because it's a shorter route, it's not too far from my house so I go through this route on days when I don't want to jog round the block. I kick a peeble as I walk down the long partially dark alleyway, its not so dark because some rooms have their curtains drawn and the light is illuminating on the streets. Doja Cat is blasting through my earpiece so I can barely hear anything going on around me. I don't notice the two men standing by the corner until I'm already close, they're leaning on the wall smoking a cigarette, I was going to turn back immediately but they already saw me and I really don't want to appear scared so I just keep walking down like I didn't see them, I did pause the music I was listening to though just incase I need to run.
''yo, can I borrow your cell for a sec?'' one of the men says leaning forward and walking towards me, I start walking by the side and he lunges for me, I quickly jump forward so I'm out of reach from him. I make a run for it but the other guy who is much bigger than the first person reaches for me and throws me to the back. my back comes in contact with the first man's chest and he grabs my both arms holding me in place. The much bigger guy lights his cigarette and takes a drag of it, he comes closer to me and blows the smoke on my face, I scrunch my face up in disgust. I can't see their faces because it's already really late. my heart is racing.
I scream on the top of my voice and that earns me a harsh slap from the man in front of me ''shut the fuck up bitch!'' he spits. I recoil back as tears spring to my eyes but I don't let them out. My cheeks stings and the pain shoots through my body.
''fucking let me go you psychopaths!'' I scream thrashing around trying to free my hands which are being held firmly behind me so that I cant do much. The one holding my hands uses his second hand to cover my mouth while the other person collects my phone from my hand and my gym bag too and starts searching it. I screams as loud as I can but it comes out as muffles. He turns my bag upside down and all the contents fall to the floor, he bends down and starts going through them while im still thrashing around and trying to free myself.
''if she says let her go, you should listen to her'' a voice that doesn't belong to any of these two thieves says, it's a voice that I know too well. I don't know if to be relieved or even more afraid that he's here. None of us had noticed him coming, cant see him yet because the guy in front of me is blocking my view.
''And who the fuck are you? you must have a death wish'' the man in front of me says turning around and facing him. Before he takes one step forward, he falls to the floor and remains unmoving, I now see him standing with a gun in his hand
''fuck!'' the man who was holding me down curses and lets me go running to the other direction leaving his partner laying there on the floor. I scream for the second time this night, if my heart was beating fast before it's over the roof now. My legs involuntarily take few steps back as fear and disgust washes over me, I never knew watching someone get killed right in front of me or seeing a dead body could be so horrifying and traumatizing. I feel the bile rise to my throat and the tears I was holding back before fall, my lips are trembling and my hands shaking as the fear washes over me
I make out his figure approaching me and that makes me panic even more, I hug myself tighter and coil into the corner as he crouches down beside me. his sweet cologne fills my nose surprisingly calming me. my next actions shocks the both of us, I throw my hands around his neck and hug him tightly burying my face in his chest as I cry into it. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't do this but right now I can't even care less. His body tenses up and his shoulders become very rigid under my touch, he doesn't even attempt to hug me back which is awkward but I still don't let go of him. I keep seeing his dead body even though my eyes are closed
''please make it go away'' I keep mumbling as tears still pour down my eyes, my hands tighten around his neck even more and I bury my face further into his chest as I try to drown everything around me. I don't know how long we stayed like that but soon enough I feel a large pair of hands lift me up, I'm too weak to open my eyes or even stand on my own so I just keep my eyes shut and let myself get carried away. The last thing I remember before I black out is the cold leather chair.
