My dipshit of a brother is starting work at a cafe in the middle of town today. I told him I had by far enough money to support us both,I mean we live in a fucking massive house in the biggest neighbourhood in town .

But his stubborn ass didn't listen and went and got a job working long ass hours. Like who works 9am-11pm that's just a piss take.

That's where I'm lucky, I may train 6 hours a day but I earn a shit ton of money by beating the hell out of people. I mean you don't get better than that and it pays 10x more than most jobs a person my age would do. Watching my parents die right in front of me and not being able to do anything about it fucked me up in the head. The only way to get all that emotion out of me is by fighting so it's kinda a win win.

I got up at 3:45am did my 3 hour morning workout Then went and had a cold shower and got ready for my day. By the time I walked downstairs and got to the kitchen to make my protein shake Jake was sat on the bar stool eating avocado on toast and reading To KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.

I hate books and don't understand Jakes obsession nor do I understand his obsession with avocado on toast. It taste bland and just looks like shit in general.

After I had finished drinking my protein shake and Jake had finished eating his bloody avocado on toast we went and sat in the lounge. I sat and watched NBA highlights as I do every morning and Jake continued reading his book in silence.

Me and Jake don't have anything in common, I train all day because I'm an underground fighter and he reads and studies all day and now he works in a cafe. I mean we don't even look alike he has blonde hair, blue eyes, pale skin and no tattoos. Where as I have black hair, green eyes, really tan skin and am covered in tattoos.

When the clock hit 8:30am I took Jake out of his book haze and reminded him of the time. I asked him if he needed a ride he said there was no need but I got up and got my car keys off the kitchen side to go and take him to work anyway.

As we pulled out onto the road exiting our neighbourhood I asked Jake to tell me the name of the cafe so I can put it into my phone and get the directions. As we get closer and closer to the cafe I watch the houses get smaller and smaller and turn into tiny apartments until we reach the cafe in the run down part of town. I don't have anything against people that live here but I don't like the idea of my brother working in this part of town.

We nod each other goodbye and I stay in the car and watch him enter the little door with the sign PAMS CAFE  hanging above it. After I knew that he had entered the cafe safely I drove off to my other 3 hour training session at my mate Justin's Gym. It was only about a 20 minute drive so it went fairly quick but the whole time I was driving I was thinking about Jake. I knew people that lived in this part of town and I have enemies that live here I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything happened to Jake, he's all I have left.

When I arrived at the gym I got ready for the intense training session my body was about to go through. Monday was always the worst because on a Sunday I only workout for 3 hours so I have to readjust my body to 6 hours on a Monday which is hell. At the end of a session I always go back home and get in the hot tub to calm my muscles and relax. Having money has its dues I mean when I didn't have as much money and we didn't have a hot tub my whole body felt like it was going to fall off after a session.

My training session started at 9:30am and ended at 12:30am so by the time it ended I was starving so I stopped at Starbucks and got an iced coffee and a double chocolate chip cookie. I didn't give a shit that it was unhealthy I was bloody starving and fancied an iced coffee and it would fill my satisfaction until I got home.

By the time I got home it was 1pm so I went into the kitchen to make some lunch, I fried some chicken got some salad out the fridge and put it all in a wrap. I also had an apple and a glass of milk, by the time I finished eating I continued watching the NBA highlights until 2:30 then I went upstairs and put on my swim shorts ready to get in the hot tub. As soon as I got in the hot tub my body instantly relaxed and I felt like I was floating on clouds.

I must have dozed off in the hot tub because when I opened my eyes my watch said that it was 5pm seeing as I didn't have to pick up Jake until 11pm I decided to get on with some paperwork I had been putting off all last week. So I got up out of the hot tub and went upstairs to take a shower and get changed.

When my parents died I was only 18 and Jake was 14 and I didn't want him going into foster care so I became his legal guardian. It felt like the best thing to do at the time and don't get me wrong I don't regret it but it can be hard. You'd think it would be easy like sign a piece of paper and all is good but I have to fill out so much paperwork to make sure Everything is going alright. I also had to sort all my bills out, I think I might pay someone to do all my paperwork it gives me a big headache.

When I was finished it was already 7:30 so I cooked myself some dinner and sat and watched some shit program that was on the tv until 10pm. When I saw the time was 10pm I decided to go early to Jakes work and meet some of the people he works with and I could always get a good homemade blueberry muffin. Jakes work was a 20 minute drive so by the time I got in my car and drive there it was already 10:35.

I parked my car and walked over to the door to the cafe, as soon as I opened the door the strong scent of freshly brewed coffee and sweet muffins filled my nose. I quickly spotted Jakes blonde hair from across the room he was behind the counter lent up against it speaking to someone who was making an order. I walked up close to the counter and said hi to Jake he looked at me surprised and said hi back. Then the women that was making the coffee turned around and I was lost for words WOW.

She had golden blonde hair that was in a messy bun on the top of her head her eyes were a glistening blue that looked like they were filled with pain and exhaustion. Her skin was a beautiful tan colour, she was wearing all black which complimented her eyes. Her apron was tied around her waist making you stare at all her curves. It was just asking for me to jump over the counted and rip it off of her along with all her clothes.
