Bumping Accident | Englot

Chapter 42

Engfa's POV

I look at Charlotte one last time before closing my bedroom door and heading towards my mini-gym. I can already tell Pichy is in there because the door is open.

I open the door further and step in. Pichy isn't facing me, but when she hears the door, she drops the weights in her hands and turns to face me.

"You're on time for once," she states, and I roll my eyes.

"I didn't want you to barge into my room and wake up Charlotte."

"She didn't leave?"

"No, she didn't, but she said we'll talk about it today," I answer and move the weights she dropped out of the way.

On cue, she starts circling me, and I groan.

"You know we don't have to fight, we can just work out together," I suggest.

"What's the fun in that?" she asks and punches my stomach so hard that it knocks the wind out of me. I fall to my knees, clutching my stomach.

"I wasn't ready," I choke out, trying to catch my breath.

"You have to always be ready, and that was kind of payback for not visiting for five months," she replies.

I quickly get back on my feet, ignoring the pain. We start circling each other, and Pichy has a smirk on her face, telling me I'll probably leave this room with many bruises.

I can take on anyone except Pichy. Sometimes I think she trained me that way so she's the only one I will always lose to.

"When is Sofia coming?" I ask and throw a punch, but she dodges.

"In thirty minutes or so," she answers, and before I can comprehend what's happening, she has me in a chokehold.

I quickly use my hand to grab her arms and pull down to relieve some pressure.

"You're rusty," she mumbles.

I hate when she uses that word. I let go of her arms and elbow her hard in the ribs, causing her to let go, coughing.

"Maybe, but I can still take you on," I say, and her smirk grows wider. I lunge toward her, and she falls to the ground with me on top of her.

She looks surprised, but that doesn't last long. She uses her legs, locks them with mine, and flips us.

"Don't forget, angioletto, I trained you, so I know all your weaknesses."

"I've missed seeing you two train together," I hear Isabella say. Pichy and I both pause and turn our heads toward the door.

Charlotte and Isabella are both standing by the door. Charlotte is slightly smiling, and Isabella's eyes are fixed on Pichy.

Isabella has seen us train many times before, so Pichy hovering over me is not something new to her, but Charlotte hasn't, so I quickly nudge Pichy's shoulder.

She looks back at me and slowly gets up from on top of me. She helps me up, and we both fix our clothes and stand next to each other.

"Why is Isabella looking at you like that?" I ask in a whisper.

"Like what?"

"Like she's about to kill you."

"I told her I'd get her ice cream first thing in the morning, and I didn't," she replies, and I can't contain my laugh.

"Isa, I will go get you ice cream in a little bit," I tell her while laughing. She nods and goes towards Pichy.

"To be fair, love, I thought you wouldn't wake up for another few hours," Pichy says.
