Flashlight (Rhea Ripley X Dominik Mysterio) Book 01

Ch12-Boulevard of Broken Dreams

"COCKADOODLEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Rey Mysterio's eyes slowly fluttered open at the obnoxiously loud alarm. Groaning he stretched his arms over his head then wiped the sleep out of his eyes. He pushed himself up so his back was pressed against the pillow and headboard. Reaching over he grabbed the phone and turned off the alarm.

Setting it aside he closed his eyes, hands pressed together at the center of his chest.

Dear Lord, This morning as I contemplate a new day, I ask you to help me. I want to be aware of your spirit-leading me in the decisions I take, the conversations I have, and the work I do. I want to be more like you, Jesus, as I relate to the people I meet today-friends or strangers.

He crossed himself then kissed his fingers and pointed to the sky before pulling off the big fluffy white blanket. His bare sweat coated body tensed again as he stretched then moved till his copper feet were on the cool marble floor. Ignoring the shivers it sent up his spine, he got off the bed and pressed his hands against the polished frigid floor. He spread his feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, bare toes pressing into the ground as he pushed himself up. Once his arms were fully extended he lowered himself again before rising.

Rey then switched to doing one handed push ups counting to fifty each time. Lowering himself on his belly, he took a deep breath and rolled onto his back. He laced his fingers together behind his head, then bent his knees so his feet were pressed against the floor. Bending his hips and waist, he pushed his upper body off the ground. Rey made sure to keep his chin off his chest, in a relaxed position, before lowering himself.

He lifted his legs off the ground then began twisting from side to side, teeth clenched tight.

He straightened out his legs then reached out and up to his toes and held the position. His body trembled, jaw sore as he pushed his muscles to hold the pose.
