  It's been a full month since Nicoli's little drunk confession, but I have yet to tell him that I know how he feels because he has yet to act on them. I've done nothing but train with the guys and attend classes so you can imagine that my sex life has been bare, I've become closer to Tony since the sparing has started so that's been fun. Today is my final test before I can go on my first 'trip' as they call it. "You ready?" Tony chuckles, getting into his fighting stance "Mmm I'll try not to hurt you." I say getting in my stance "This is the big one so don't fuck it up." Frank jokes before blowing a whistle. Tony throws a jab that I dodge hitting him with an uppercut sending him stumbling back a bit moving his jaw "Come on Tiger." I call using my new nickname for Tony, he hates it because of the way it came to be.. from a single bowl of cereal.

His fist connects to my stomach catching me off guard sending the wind right out of me "Aw come on little pet don't take it like such a girl." I smirk regaining my breath, I swipe my feet under him taking him down; I quickly climb on top of him punching him in the face until he rolls us around so he's on top of us. I take his head under my arm twisting our legs and holding him in a tight lock "Come on Tony you know you'll pass out if you don't-" he cuts me off tapping my leg "There it is." Frank yells clapping."Congratulations on your graduation from the Mafia  school." I stand up holding my hand out for Tony. He grabs it slowly standing up."You got me on that uppercut." I pout watching his jaw begin to purple."I always hate bruising you guys when I kick your asses." He nudges me walking past me."I'm going to see the in-house doctor and Frank don't let the new kid spar her. He'll get hurt, and the Capo will have all our asses." He points a finger at us before walking off to the doctor."How does it feel to have completed your training?" Frank smiled leaning back against the bench "Good, kicked my ass when I had to take a gun apart and put it back together but eventually-" he cuts me off "After almost two weeks" I grunt  "Eventually I got it."

I plop down next to him, taking a drink of water. "Whatever happened with the Russians you guys were talking about that night in the basement?" He shrugs "When we went to the warehouse. No one was there, it was empty... Capo doubled his security on his shipments, and so far, nothing happened. Let's keep it that way." I nod standing up off the bench."Where's Nicoli?" I question after a moment."He's in a meeting upstairs with Paul so we can train you." I blow out a little breath "I want to go out." I whine "You know the rules." I sigh walking out of the gym towards the stairs stopping at the top when a moan fills my ears. This was his way of getting me out of his head he fucks girls almost every day but it's always in his office.. never in his room. I walk to my room slamming the door harder than intended causing the windows to rumble a bit. "Shit" I wince at the loud noise, I sigh thankful that nothing broke from my stupidity. I walk over to the bathroom peeling away at my sweaty clothes before sliding into the hot shower. I jump at the sound of my bathroom door flying open. "Jesus!" I yell washing the soap out of my eyes."Nicoli!" I shout, covering my body from him."Get out!" I yell."I thought that loud noise was something crashing down in here." He sighs, holding my gaze, his hair disheveled, lips plump, and shirt scrunched up around his waist, forming a lump in my throat. "I'm fine. Get out." I snap, turning the water up, letting the hot water fall against my aching body while the steam covers the glass surrounding me. "Why is it a problem if I see you like this?" He snaps. I finally drop my hands, continuing my now scolding hot shower. "Just go!" I bark, feeling the tears brim my eyes. I quickly shake them, continuing to wash down my body."Not until you tell me why you're covering yourself as if I haven't seen you naked." I sigh turning off the water, I slide open the door enough to grab my towel; I wrap the towel around my body before stepping out finally meeting him face to face for the first time today.
