Hot For Sensei

Chapter Sixteen

"So, I've got good news." Miguel said as he joined them at their lunch table the next day.

"Yeah?" Aisha asked as they all looked to him.

"Sensei's going to meet with the board tonight." Miguel smiled.

"Great!" Ivy grinned before she turned to Eli, "He means the people, not the board."

"Shut up!" Eli nudged her with a glare, and she shoved him back playfully.

Aisha gave them a look similar to the one she gave them yesterday, and Ivy couldn't place what she was trying to convey. Ivy gave Aisha a shrug, and Aisha shook her head with a smile.

"So after supper you and I can go over to Sensei's and help him get ready." Miguel said to Ivy, who nodded, "Then Sensei's off to the meeting and I'm off on my date."

"Oh yeah." Aisha rolled her eyes dramatically.

"Could you stop that?" Miguel asked.

"No." Aisha groaned.

"Alright, alright!" Ivy stepped in, "Miguel, Aisha doesn't like Sam and that's fine. Aisha, it's okay that you don't like Sam, but you don't have to shit on Miguel's parade, okay?"

"Yeah." Miguel sighed.

"Whatever." Aisha shrugged.

"Alright." Ivy said more sternly to let them know this conversation was done.

"So." Eli spoke to break the tension, "You gals wanna come over and chill later while we wait for our answer?"

"Sorry, I told my parents I'd have dinner with them tonight." Aisha shook her head.

"I'm busy too." Ivy mumbled.

"With what?" Eli asked curiously.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." She brushed him off.

She turned to see Miguel looking at her, and when they made eye contact, he mouthed boyfriend? She nodded to answer him, and he gave he a feeble thumbs up to show he understood.

After Robby had texted her last night, she came up with a plan. She was going to sneak over to LaRusso Auto to see what would unfold. If Robby was going through with it, she would stop him. If he wasn't, and Trey and Cruz attacked him, she was going to step in to fight. Though it made her nervous and uneasy, she was going to do whatever it took to protect Robby, regardless of the consequences.

Ivy met Miguel at his house after dinner, and they walked across the lot to Johnny's together. He answered the door suspiciously, unaware that they were coming.

"What are you two doing here?"

"Saving your ass." Ivy smirked.

"Can we come in?" Miguel asked.

"I guess." Johnny answered hesitantly and moved to let them in.

They entered and Miguel closed the door behind them. Ivy looked around at his apartment. It was minimally decorated with your basic furniture, and on the wall by the kitchen was a picture of three hot women lounging by a pool. She shook her head before looking to Johnny, who's appearance was more surprising. He was freshly showered and shaved, dressed in a burgundy/brown suit with his golden hair slicked back. She had to admit, she preferred him in his Gi, but the suit was a nice touch for the meeting.
