The Twins (EDITED)

Chapter 6

Ariana's POV-

I knew it. I knew he would think that. As much as it hurts, it's true. He's misogynistic. Like every other Mafia Boss. *Cue the eye roll* So predictable.

"Ari, we should go to the gym now," Alex tells me.

"No crap captain. Are you coming too Brian?" I asked. He's still my brother, and I still love him, even if some of the things he says hurts.

"Why not? What's the worst that could happen?" He said.

"You probably just jinxed it," I said, narrowing my eyes at him.

We started walking out of our house, down the block. We made a left while he made a right. We all turned around in sync, all of our eyebrows furrowing in question.

"Umm, where are you going?" Alex asked him.

"The gym?" He replied as I face-palmed.

"We don't go to the public gym, idiot. You think years of underground fighting didn't give us money? Puhlease!" I exclaimed, quite dramatically if I must say.

He blushed from embarrassment.

"It's fine, don't feel embarrassed. It happens to everyone," Alex said nonchalantly as I chuckled. He probably just embarrassed him further.

"Wow. Just..wow," Brian said. I could tell he was surprised we could afford this.

"Brian..dear brother. You know how much people bet that the other people will lose, right?" Alex asked.

"Last time I checked, $500?" Brian stated, shrugging. I started laughing, but stopped after realizing he was serious.

"I can't believe it's been that long since you've seen us fight! People bet hundreds of thousands on us now!" I explained. He was dumbstruck. I thought he knew us better than that?

I started training with the punching bag.

"Ari, punch it as hard as you can, yet as swift as you can make it in this position," Alex said, curving his body into a sort of ‘L’ shape. He's a great trainer.

"Okay," I spoke as I punched it. The bag fell off the clip it was sewed onto and went all the way across the gym. Brian's mouth was hanging open as I just shrugged it off.

"Wow! Ari, you really improved from last time!" Alex exclaimed with pride. Brian's mouth was still hanging open as he saw my training schedule.

"Close your mouth before you catch flies!" I scolded playfully as he finally closed his mouth.

"Sorry, I'm just..stupefied," he spoke, thinking of the right words to say.. I've never seen him so shocked.

"You think this is a lot? Boy, you haven seen anything! Have you seen Alex train?!" I exclaimed, taking the spotlight off of me. Alex turned into a living tomato as I put him in the spotlight. I winked while he stared at me.

"Get José at the fighting ring!" I shouted. The workers scrambled to tell his secretary I wanted to have him there. Brian was surprised how much authority Alex and I have here.

"Did you forget we own this building?" I asked him while jogging around the gym. He nodded.

"Well don't forget next time brother!" Alex teased. He loves teasing our older brothers.

Fifteen minutes later we got into the car and drove until we're not allowed to drive as it’s past the designated area. We parked the car and started walking to the underground ring. Right as it turned half an hour later, we walked in. I looked tough if I do say so myself.
