It Had To Be You (GxG)

Chapter Fifty Four

I sat at Justin's dining room table looking over my math notes as me and Adele did a few equations I was about to suggest we take a break when my phone went off.

"Sorry I guys gotta go," I said grabbing my stuff.

"Where to," Adele said.

"Boxing where else," I said.

"Oh yeah, I kind of forgot about that" Justin said.

"Need a ride," Adele said.

"No no you keep studying I can find my way from here I'll see you at home cool," I said.

"Fine" Adele said and I left.

I left Justin's house and headed off to the gym the weather was getting colder so much so that I zipped up my jacket which I don't like doing I don't know why I just never liked it. I turned onto the road of the gym and a girl blocked my path I looked up and I didn't know her I just looked at her confused.

"Can I help you?" I asked still confused.

"I'm an old friend of Adele she has been hanging out with you a lot lately is there a reason for that," She said.

"I thought everyone knew," I said.

"Knew what," The girl said.

"Me and Adele are together she's my girlfriend," I said.

"Girlfriend," The girl said.

"Yeah and has been for a while now," I said.

"So that's why," The girl said as if something suddenly made sense.

"That's why what," I asked.

"Another one of her friends got a little pissed at her and if you are together I would watch yourself you may be targeted by the others I'll do what I can to keep the beast in its cage but I don't have much power over them," The girl said.

"Why was she angry," I said.

"Oh she had feelings for Adele that Adele didn't return," She said.

"Well see ya," She said before leaving.

I looked at her as she left I was still confused and now I wanted to know what deal Adele had ended more than ever if it had something to do with that girl and her feelings for Adele then she did know about them and must have lied about how she felt. I walked into the gym and went into the changing rooms to put on my sportswear ready for the first session my sessions had turned into more of me just having a match with someone. As I left the changing rooms I saw a few new faces, three, in particular, caught my eye mainly because from behind they were completely identical same hair colour, style and length they were also the same height. As I left they all turned towards me completely in sync which kinda creeped me out but I smile at them and they all came up to me and I was genuinely surprised by what they said next.

"Can we have your autograph?" The middle one said.

"Sorry," I said confused.

"You are the Red Flash right," The left one said.

"It's what I call myself," I said.

"Then that is you," The middle one said pointing to a poster.

The poster was full of shades of red and had my face on it and said in a very 1970's style font new up and coming star the Red Flash.

"No one asked me if I was cool with a poster," I said.

"No one asks anyone if they're cool with it," The one on the right said.

"So autographs," I said and they smiled handing me a book each.

I signed their books and then went to punching the bag until one of the rings was free as I punched the bag I got the feeling like I was being watched but thanks to the poster I was going to have to get used to it so I ignored it. After a good 40 minutes, I am called into the ring to fight a girl called Victoria I think her boxer name was Small Thunder I was unfamiliar with her strength but her size was unmistakable.

"Small Thunder right," I said.

"Awww you remembered," She said as we took our stances.

The two of us were pretty evenly matched and she was really strong despite her size she could pack a punch with her strength and my speed the match ended in a draw.

"You are one tough opponent," Victoria said as I pulled off my gloves before packing them up.

"I found you just as worthy short round," I said and she let out a sarcastic laugh.

"You wanna hang at my place it's not too far from here," Victoria said.

"Sorry love to but if I don't get home soon my girlfriend will get suspicious," I said winking at her.

"Wait do you live with your girlfriend," Victoria asked.

"Yep, we got a nice place together, see ya," I said as I left.

As I got home I was hit with the smell of fish and chips I looked in the kitchen and saw Adele cooking the fish I was unaware that she could even cook but I smile and wrapped my arms around her.

"Welcome home," She said.

"Good to be here how was your study session," I asked as I stood beside her.

"Take a look all the work is still in my bag," Adele said.

I grabbed her bag and pulled out the work she was doing when I left as I looked it over I was happy to see that she had got about 70% of them right luckily that was above the cut-off point to pass.

"Well keep this up and we can make the trip," I said.

"Told you not to worry," Adele said.

"I'm your girlfriend it's my job to worry," I said as a plate of freshly cooked food was placed in front of me.

"Then I will worry about you as well," Adele said kissing the top of my head before sitting down in front of her own plate of food.

"This is good," I said taking a bite of the food she had cooked

"So how was boxing today," Adele asked.

"Ran into a friend of yours on the way," I said.

"Shit who was it," Adele asked now getting scared.

"Didn't' say but I think we can rule out that girl you had that argument with this one was different and knew about the argument you had plus she was talking about keeping the peace or something," I said.

"Well, what did she look like," Adele said.

"Blue eye's long straight black hair had this puck rebel girl look about her and had snake bite piercings, know her," I said.

"Yeah names Clara and thankfully despite her look she's harmless unlike the others," Adele said relaxing.
