The Mafia's Ballerinas

Chapter Twenty-four

Angel's POV

It has been four weeks since I started training with Lucas and my other trainer Leo let just say I got into shape really good .

I train three times a week when I don't have classes at school and at work and it has been tough and exhausting . Work outs drains all of my energy then I had to prepare for my upcoming test and classes .

All I want to do is sleep for hours .

But of course Lucas has other plans for me .

" it's time to get in the ring again. " Lucas says after my last hour of working out with Leo .

I sigh in exhaustion " Lucas my legs are killing me can't we train later ?" I ask trying to reason with him . I have been training for two hours for Christ's sake and he wants to train again .

I want to cry my eyes out .

" The bad guys won't give you a break , you know . Once they attack they will do it continuously , so you need to keep up with the speed . " He tells me .

I give him pleading eyes softening my brown eyes I see him debating with himself " Fine , " he finally gives in . I smile " But , for the next two hours we will be training non stop " fine by me" I shrug

The next day I wake getting myself ready for today's training . I pull my hair into a high puff since I have no motivation to do anything fancy , then I put on my sport attire which consists of thights and a sport bra .

A knock pounds on my bedroom door ,
" Come in " I say Lucas appears behind it . " Good morning " he smiles " morning " I reply his eyes roams down my body eying my attire I clear my throat snapping him out of his trance. " I just tell you that today's training sessions are cancelled .

I frown " why ?"
" I have meetings to attend to and Leo has other works to do . I know he is the only person you warm to besides me so since he is busy , today's training is cancelled . " Lucas explains .

" I don't mind if someone else trains me for my self defence sessions for the day , and for the workout , I can do it myself it's not a problem . " I reassure him . I wasn't picky to choose who should only train me , I mean , Leo is a good trainer and I'm getting used to him and prefer that I stick to only one person , but if there is no one to do it , then I don't mind .

" No . I prefer teaching you myself ." He says , I can sense possessiveness in his tone , I roll my eyes at him and give him an ' are you serious look '.

As I look closely at him , I finally notice how dishelved he really is . His eyes are tired and slightly red on the inside , and dark bags laid under them it's now that I realise that he hasn't been resting well , his work and my training sessions made him restless , too I smile at him .

He makes lots of sacrifices for me .

" I can help you with some paperwork if you want , " I say , after I came to that conclusion . " I worked as an assistant before I became a ballet teacher ,I have experience . Plus , I don't have any work today and no classes , I'm pretty much free . " I say willing to help him just as he does for me , since the beginning . I might not do much in helping him but knowing that I could will make me feel better knowing I helped him too .

I could see Lucas thinking hard about it for few seconds until he nods " Alright . Be ready in thirty minutes . " I smile then he goes out of my room . Since I already showered I start instantly with my hair .

I straighten my hair then I curl it , since I have thick hair , I don't have to worry about volumizing my hair , then go for my make-up . I did a victory dance when both of my eyelashes came out straight I apply my red lipstick then grab a classy attire that Layla made me buy a year ago .
