"So, how do you want to do this?" I asked Mitch as we sat in the school library, trying to get started on our stupid presentation.

Mitch signed what he had planned and I chipped in every now and then, but other than that I nodded to him signing what he was thinking. It didn't take long for us to have the layout and the plans lined up.

We would meet every Tuesday and Thursday, today was the latter. The week had gone by fast, we avoided Melanie as much as we could. It was a success so far.

'What happened in that accident?' Mitch suddenly asked me, I pretended to not have seen. I didn't want to go into detail, he couldn't know who I was and that Ward was my brother. I had lied to him when he had asked.

I didn't want to tell him the truth.

Though he hadn't let it go after I pretended to not have seen him. He nudged his elbow into my side and signed the question again.

"Just a car accident" I said and shrugged. 'West told me it was a workout accident?' He signed back, I cursed mentally and bit my lip. "Both, it takes a lot of hits to get this damaged" I said and laughed it off.

Mitch tried to read me, but I didn't let it slip. I shot him a smile before continuing typing away on my laptop.

Suddenly, he slapped my typing hands and I jumped startled in surprise. I looked up and saw him nod towards the door, Melanie walked in, she looked around and I slammed my laptop shut without a second thought.

"I'm gonna go" I told him, a small smirk was on his face as I hurried to get my things, I hid behind a shelf when Melanie spotted Mitch.

I cursed under my breath before hurrying down the shelf, I snuck behind each one to get to the entrance, I looked back and saw Melanie push her boobs into Mitch' face.

I smirked at him and signed 'Good luck with the girlfriend' to him. A scowl creeped onto his face as he glared my way, I looked at his other hand and saw him giving me the middle finger.

I snickered and hurried out of the library. "West, my little baby darling. What are you doing?" I called out and threw my arm around his shoulder as he sat on a bench with North and Fran.

"I'm trying to come up with a good pickup line, these two fuckers aren't to much help" West scolded the two.

"Go up to her-and say- 'I forgot your name, can I call you mine?" I said and winked at him. "Oh wow, Nick got the rizzzzzz" Fran said and dragged it out.

"Oh, that's actually pretty good, watch me" He said and got up, I took his seat and walked over to this gorgeous girl.

She turned to him and smiled kindly to him, it would work. Most definitely. West said the line and she giggled under her hand, he leaned in close to her and whispered things in her ear.

"And suddenly I feel single and lonely" I said with a sigh, Fran and North snorted and shook their heads. "You could always take Mitch, he's curious as hell about you. Oliver is complaining of how many times a day Mitch talks about you" North snorted.

"What?" Both Fran and I asked, North's face fell and he realized what he had done. "I'll see you tomorrow, bye" He said and got up hastily and basically ran away.

"What the fuck" I said with a laugh. "Get him, sis" Fran encouraged me. "No, no, no. I'm not looking for anything, though I do need to get laid. It's been nearly two weeks" I said and picked at my nails.

"Oh, so you did fuck that hot dude?" Fran gasped. "Maybe..." I said and trailed off. Fran screamed with excitement and slapped my shoulder repeatedly.

"Tell me everything" She gasped and put her chin in her hands as she watched me. "There's nothing to tell, we fucked a few times in his car. That's that" I said and shrugged.

"Oh wow, you're a wild one" Fran winked at me. "Are you ready for tomorrow night?" She asks me. I silently thanked her for changing the subject.

"What's tomorrow night?" I ask her. "Another underground fight, it's every weekend" She said. "I've even done a few fights" She winked at me.

"Really?" I asked her in surprise. "Yeah, I've won every time" She said proudly and I smiled at her, proud. "Damn, Fran is a baddie" I commented and she winked at me.

"I have a fight on Saturday night, will you be there?" She asked me and I nodded. "Of course" I told her she smiled thankfully and then we decided to go home.

West was occupied with that girl and Celina were waiting by Fran's car. Fran drove us to the gym and this time I was allowed to sit in the passenger seat.

We exited the car and Fran went to work, Celina went home and I went into the gym, I had training with West today, I was wondering if he would remember now that he was occupied with that girl.

Nevertheless I warmed up after chatting with Francesca. She got customers and new members to the gym, so I got out of her hair and warmed up.

After twenty minutes on the treadmill, I put my headphones in and started to train with the stick, it was everything from kicks and hits with the stick to somersault tricks.

Mitch and North walked by the glass wall, but Mitch stopped, my eyes met his and he shamelessly watched me, though I stopped when I realized he wasn't just passing.

'What?' I signed to him. 'You're good' He signed back with a small smirk on his lips. He was shirtless again. His shorts hung low on his hips, that fucking v-line was screaming at me.

I tore my eyes away and saw Mitch leave in the corner of my eye. I sat down and took a sip of water before grabbing my phone.

Was I starting to be attracted to Mitch? His messy wavy curls were making him look hot. His body was no doubt hot and one I wouldn't have wasted time mounting back in West County if we were back at my home.

But this wasn't West County. It was Jacksonville.

His body was ripped for an 18 year old. I recently learned how old he was and due to the accident that also made him never speak again, he had to redo another school year.

He was majorly built, he had the body of a fighter, hell he could even compare to my twenty four year old brother and his best friend Chase.

The more I thought about that fucking v-line and Mitch's body, the more I felt a heated tingling sensation between my legs.

I got up and cleared my throat. I called West and just as I had called three times, he walked in through the door. "Hi, darling. Thank you for the pickup line. It worked" He said and hugged me tightly.

"You're welcome" I said and patted his back, he pulled away and I took a swing at him. He laughed as he avoided it, only for me to send a stick to his chest.

"Ow" He groaned and rubbed his chest. "Come on, fight me" I said eagerly. I needed him to smack my horniness out of me. I needed him to smack Mitch out of my system.

"Someone's eager" West commented as he grabbed a stick, I switched for two short ones and we began fighting back and forth.

I often felt eyes on us, I knew it was Mitch, but I didn't have it in me to look. I had self control, I wasn't that weak. I didn't have to look every time he looked at me first.

"Someone's distracted" West called out as he smacked the stick across my back for the third time. I groaned and rolled my shoulders to get rid of the pain. "Shut up" I scowled at him.
