Swimming with the Devil

Dining with the Devil

Being lifted into Andrews arms, she winced at the pain that was starting to become apparent through her body. "Yea I'm ok. Sore thats for sure" she replied, her ankle having bled a little. It was as bad as it was the first time it happened which was a good sign.

He then placed her on the couch in her room and called Miss Jenkins, "Please help her take a shower, also bring the protein shake."

Andrew smiled at her, "You did it again, Martin's expression was epic. I like what you're doing to him." At that moment Miss Jenkins walked in with the shake and a warm smile, "Morning, Tia."

Hearing about a shower, she groaned. "A shower sounds amazing. And this protein shake better taste good" she told him, laying down on the couch. Feeling a bit hot, she took off her tank top, revealing the black blue and purple bruises along her stomach, sides and chest. They looked angry.

Tianne smiled back when she heard what she did to Martin. "What exactly am I doing though?" She asked, but didn't get time for an answer before Miss Jenkins walked in. She took the shake from her hands with a smile, "Good morning, Miss Jenkins"

Andrew smiled, "You are making him act like a sissy. Or maybe normal. In the past ten years, he never stopped a boxing match, he almost lost me in one, didn't stop it. I wonder what got into him today."

Tianne raised an eyebrow slightly. She wasn't sure what to think of it. "I'm not sure how to take that" she replied, resting her ankle in the most comfortable position she could find.

Andrew observed her bruises and looked up in her eyes," You are a strong girl Tianne." He then left the room as Miss Jenkins gave her the chocolate flavoured shake and started to remove her dressing and threw the bandage in the trash can.

"Well I was taught pretty well by my trainers" she replied to his comment, watching him leave. Then she took the shake and sipped at it, liking the flavour and having more mouthfuls of it. Surprisingly, she didn't hurt as much as she thought she would. She felt more energised.

"Now finish up the shake so we can clean you up." She chuckled and helped her get up towards the bathroom.

Finishing it, she accepted the woman's help to the bathroom, taking off her clothes as gently as she could manage

Miss Jenkins helped her get cleaned and manage to dress her up in new, baggy clothes and aided her to rest back on the bed. She brought her a pair of crocs and gently helped her get into them.

Tia felt much better being in the baggy clothes. She couldn't remember the last time she was in tracksuit pants and a simple loose shirt. With her right foot, she kicked off the one on her left. She didn't want anything on that foot, especially after having the nail ripped out of one of her toes the night before.

"You doing okay, sweetie?" She patted her head, "We need to go to the dining hall now, you are allowed to have breakfast with everyone, upstairs!"

She grabbed the wheelchair and walked towards the bed, "Need some help?"

"I'm surprised he's even letting me dine with the others. Let alone even eat" she told her, doing her best on her own to get into the wheelchair. Getting comfy, she was ready to go. "I should be fine, so long as no one decides to beat the living hell out of me" she replied, getting her ankle as comfy as she could manage. Yes, she still ached, but she felt better then the day before.

Miss Jenkins ignored her comments and wheeled her to the dining table. It was a gigantic table with only three men, Martin, Andrew and one other guy. She helped her get seated and began serving the food.

Tianne was a bit skeptical about having only the three guys at the table. She thought there would be more people, but clearly not. Looking between the three, she was slightly confused as to what was going on.
