"WAKE UP LETS GO." Aurora screamed in my face.
"Okay okay Jesus Christ I'm getting up. I have to take care of Maggie first."
"Maggie is all taken care of, I let her out when I took Benny (Aurora's dog) out as well.
"Wow, thanks you didn't have to do that."
"I know but you gotta get up and get ready for today."
"Yeah yeah yeah. I'll meet you downstairs in fifteen."
I wore a navy blue Nike sports bra, black Nike leggings and black Nike shoes. I never would have thought I would dress in all nike.
"Good you're two minutes early." she said.
Aurora and I walked towards the SUV.
"Why does Papa want us to be on time everytime we leave?" I asked
"He wants us to have protection every time when we leave. Our schedules all have you meet up because they're busy too."
" Isn't it annoying after a while? Having to be protected all the time and never being alone out in public alone."
"From time to time but the more you are trained the more you get to go out on your own. And you learn more about everything going on. Papa just let me join some small and secret meetings."
"How long did that take you?"
" 4 years. But now that one of his daughters went through it, it'll be easier for you to do it. He still feels really guilty for leaving you so he'll give you things faster too."
"Well, hopefully I d0."
We got into the base gym.
"Hey what's up ladies." Leo greeted us.
"I'm going to go to the shooting range. Have fun working out Juls."
"See you later A."
"Juls for the next two weeks it's only the gym and self defense. After two weeks you'll slowly start shooting with Anna. After a while you'll be doing half and half each day. You'll move up in both over time considering how good you're at it. With that said, get on the treadmill and run two miles. And then we will start lifting weights."
"You got it Leo."
I walked over to the treadmill. Leo left for the punching bags. I started running. I felt someone standing on the treadmill next to me.
"You shouldn't be here. This is too dangerous for you."
I know that voice anywhere.
"Enzo, leave me alone."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Why do you think I can't do this?"
"I know you can't."
"You don't know anything about me."
Ten minutes had passed.
"All you probably know is that I'm Aldo Gallo's 24 year old daughter he left in America with her mom."
"I also know you have a french bulldog named Maggie."
"Congrats you know my dog and her name."
"Well you don't know anything about me either." Ten more minutes had passed.
"I know you're working with my dad.. And that you're a jackass playboy."
"Well you should get to know me more since one day you might be working with me."
"What does that mean?"
"Let's go out on a date." My stomach dropped, hell yeah but hell no.
"Going on a date with a douchebag and someone that works with MY DAD just screams awful."
"You know one has to know."
"Exactly, an infamous fuck boy sentence."
"Well, think about it."
I could tell he was just trying to get a rise out of me. He didn't actually mean it, I stopped when I hit two miles. I said nothing and walked away to make my way to Leo. Three hours passed and we were done working out.
My muscles ached but I knew I needed to be stronger and faster in this new lifestyle of mine.
