-Natalie's POV-

Carson backs up quickly, shaking his head and I laugh, stepping back. He pulls his boxing gloves off, picking up his water bottle.

"Stop acting tough, you can drink some water, go on, I won't say anything about it." He breathes heavy, I glare at him as I pull my own gloves off, dropping them down in the ring.

"I don't need water, you're too easy, I already told you this." I hum and he shakes his head, I glance to Anna who is sitting with Jay and his wife.

"She beat your ass, Carson." Jay speaks up and I laugh, getting out of the ring while Carson mumbles to himself.

"She's a woman, I have to go easy on her." He speaks and I turn around, raising my eyebrows at him.

"Don't even start this." I warn him and he puts his hands up making me laugh. I walk over to Anna since my bag is beside her.

"Jesus, you're all sweaty." Anna looks me up and down and I glance to her before Carson steps up behind me, slapping the back of my head.

I shove him away and he smiles, grabbing my arm.

"I could easily throw you across this gym, Nat." He says and I pull my arm away before I sit down beside Anna.

"And I could easily kick you in the balls but I haven't." I hum, finally taking out my water bottle. I'm mostly sweaty from listening to Jay, he runs this boxing club and made me and Carson warm up before we got into the ring.

I had to run laps. At one point, Carson kicked the back off my knee causing me to fall. That led to us fighting without the gloves.

"You should come over for dinner tonight, Lilah would love to have you over." Anna speaks and I put my water back into my bag.

"I would, Anna, but I already told Tatum I'd go over to hers tonight for drinks." I stand, lifting my bag and she nods.

"That's okay, maybe next week or something? Your brother loves having you over, almost as much as Lilah does." She smiles and I smile back at her.

"You going already?" Carson questions and I nod, moving some strands of hair that fell from my ponytail.

"I must. I'm all sweaty, I need to have the coldest shower of my life." I explain, looking up at Carson who shakes his head.

"Call me then, don't ignore my messages." He pulls me against him and I cringe, not moving. Now would be a great time to kick him in the balls.

"I'll try not to." I say and he pulls back, rolling his eyes. I'll try to care about responding to his texts.

I knock on the door, checking the time on my watch. This isn't Tatum's house. She sent me an address, it's probably one of her girlfriends' homes.

The door swings open and I quickly look, meeting Tatum's eye. She's wearing a loose, white tank top along with sweatpants, the usual. I'm also wearing a tank top beneath my jacket but mine is different, mine is black and the straps are thinner, it's more of a lace tank top, the lace design is around the boob area. I settled on wearing my new pair of jeans as well, they're quite uncomfortable actually.
