The Fan (1 of 8)

I was obsessed with Atlas Montgomery.

But so was everyone my age who got the opportunity to see him fight.

It had been three years ago when I first saw him fight.

It was like he was sculpted by God himself.

His biceps were huge, the veins on his arms were to die for and his abs seemed like they were carved to perfection.

I wasn't kidding when I said he literally looked like a work of art.

"Delilah, I am so excited! He's literally so hot." Eva says next to me as she squeals.

I had met Eva at one of Atlas' games last year.

She was currently dating one of the fighters who fought here as well.

Lucky girl.

"Wait till Theo hears about that." I tell her with a giggle as she smacks me on the shoulder lightly.

She rolls her eyes and sighs.

"Let him hear it! I love when he gets all territorial. It's kinda hot." She says with a laugh and suddenly that's when we hear it.

"The moment you've been waiting for! Ladies and gentlemen...the one...the ONLY...Atlas "The Armored" Montgomery!" The announcer says as the crowd goes wild.

Holy fuck.

There he was.

On queue, Atlas steps onto the stage as he raises his arm in the air.

He looked glorious as hell.

He runs a hand through his hair and smiles at the crowd as screams are heard throughout the crowd.

"We love you Atlas!"

"You're fucking hot Atlas!"

"Fuck me Atlas!"

I mean, they weren't wrong.

Ever since the first fight, I had been going to all his fights.

I had an addiction, but there was just something about the way he fought.

He looked effortless and I never got tired of watching him go.

The fight began as Eva and I watched the scene.

Atlas was doing amazing as usual but suddenly his opponent landed one on him, the whole crowd gasping and cheering for him to go on.

Oh no.

Atlas barely got hit before.

This has got to be a first.

"Go Atlas! GET UP!" I scream from the top of my lungs and the crowd goes wild as I swear his eyes turn to me.

Oh My God, Atlas was looking at me.

Eva chuckles as she watches the scene and I cover my mouth.

Was that too loud?

People eye me and I suddenly feel uncomfortable.

"Damn girl, you are crazy." Eva says as I let out a nervous chuckle.

The crowd suddenly goes back to the fight as Atlas gets up and swings at his opponent, landing one on him, the crowd cheering him on.

Suddenly the fight ends, Atlas' opponent knocked out on the floor before the referee raises Atlas's arm in the air.

"And the winner is! ATLASSSS THE ARMOREEEDD MONTGOMERYYY" He says as the crowd cheers.

And for a brief moment I see Atlas' eyes flash to mine, as he gives me a cheerful smile, one that meets his eyes.
