a singular white rose

In the gym, I could spot Matteo.

He didn't had a shirt on and he was punching against the punching back.

God, he looked hot.

I could see his snake tattoo more clearly.

I walked into his direction, already having the smell of sweat in my nose.

Disgusting.

,,Hey Matteo. I am going to change and come back.", I said and went to the changing room.

Not one girl is here. Well, if you're the only one, nothing shocking.

I sat on one chair, taking off my shoes and changing them into sport shoes.

Then my shirt and jeans.

I walked out of the room with a water bottle in my hand and my hair tied up in a ponytail.

Then, I again went back to where Matteo was and searched for another punching bag to let my frustration out.

Well, I didn't had something to let out, but act like it.

I found one punching bag and was planning to go there, but one man was already using it.

Little piece of shi-

,,Here. You can have mine.", one man spoke up to me.

He didn't look bad but not really my type.

,,Thank you. But I'll like for another one which no one is using.", I answered politely.

,,There are no others left. I was already done so you can use mine. No problem.", he assured and smiled at me.

Sweet.

,,Well thank you-", I responded.

,,Ace. My name is Ace.", he smiled.

He's sweet for sure, but I think he is one of the team captains.

,,Well thank you Ace. My name is Valerie.", I introduced myself.

,,It was a pleasure to meet you Valerie.", he smiled and left.

I began to punch the bag and after round 20 minutes, Matteo came up to me.

,,Don't talk to him again.", he warned me.

Am I allowed to breath or-?

,,Who?", I asked confused.

,,Ace. The second most dangerous man after Lucas in the mafia. He killed over 10.000 people with his own hands.", he gritted.

I could see he tensed up and clenched his jaw.
