Gloves off

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍

The fight had ended, and once again I won. I walked into the locker room to see my team cheering for my victory, but I wasn't in the mood. Even though I had won, I wasn't completely focused but I didn't know what it was. Was it Jade? Was it Damian? No.

It was Serenity.

Me and my manager had an argument before the fight because I said that I didn't care for this fight. My opponent was a newbie who wanted this event to happen so he could prove a point. Poor choice. But when I walked out, I made eye contact with Serenity. Seeing her in the outfit took over my mind. The way her curves were showing, I wanted to give her my hoodie and tell her to cover up. but I couldn't.

Serenity wasn't anything more than a Bartender in my eyes. She knew nothing about the fighting world or even the celebrity world at that. That's what makes her stand out to me.

I got my stuff together and just put on my sweatpants, a jacket, and my shoes. As I walked out, I immediately spotted Serenity in the parking lot. She was with two other people, and it didn't look good. She had on a sweatshirt and sweatpants, good. I then saw her flip off the girl and get in her car and drive off. Oh wow.

I got into my car and started driving off to my house. As I was driving, I got a call from my manager. "What do you want" I say as I answer. "Great fight tonight! Remember we have that party on Friday" he says. Then something clicks in my head. "Who is bartending the party on Friday?" I ask. "Well, we were discussing that and..." "Serenity will be doing it" I say firmly. "Well, alright then." My manager says. We talked for a few more minutes until I hung up.

Serenity did very well tonight handling everyone, so I thought she deserved a second job. Because why not?

I walked into my apartment and slammed the door behind me. Lina immediately comes out of her room with a concerned look on her face. I stood at the door, with my head hanging low. This was the fucking worst. Lina walks over to me, probably already knowing where this was going. I leaned against the door, and I just let it all out. I haven't cried this hard since my grandpa died, but here I was.

After the fight, my sister followed me to my car and started yelling at me. She kept saying how this looks with Noah and how this puts a bad image on them. I kept ignoring her until she had said something that made me have enough. "Do you know how disappointed mom and dad will be? I couldn't believe your bringing down our family name by dressing up as a complete slut". When she said that, I couldn't help but get mad.

My family was a well-known family here. I live about an hour away from the house we grew up in, and for a fair reason. My parents were always big on image and our family name. When I would get in trouble at school or do reckless things, they would always mention how I'm "tarnishing their reputation". But I was just a teenager trying to live because nobody wouldn't let her. But after I went and got a job, an apartment, they stopped caring about that stuff. My parents understood I was an adult and not a teenager anymore. But my sister still saw me as the unstable reckless teenager. And it pisses me off.

As those thoughts were going in my head, I didn't notice I was on the floor while Lina was hugging me. I was just tired.

So, fucking tired.

The next day me and my sister did not talk. But me and Noah did. He just wants to apologize for last night and for my sister. I told him it was okay and it's not a big deal.

As I was scrolling on my phone, I noticed a missed call from Zryan's manager. I immediately call him back and he answers quickly. "Serenity! Nice to hear from you! Look, I got another job for you. We're hosting a party Friday night, and we were wondering if you were up for it!" he says. I jumped up from my bed quickly. Another job? Is this heaven or what? "I would love too!" I say trying to hold in my excitement. "Great!".

We talked for a few minutes until he got a call from Zryan. As we hung up, all I could do was jump in excitement. This was the first time I smiled today and surely won't be the last.

As I gathered my thoughts together, I thought about the uniform I may have to wear. I mean it wasn't as bad at the event and-

Zryan.

Then the memory floods back into my mind. The memory of when we saw each other while I was setting up. his hard toned abs and his defined arm muscles. His hair practically wet from all the sweating. I couldn't help but re think that thought. I've never seen a man like that in real life, only on tv.

No Serenity, you basically work for the man. You need to stop.

Just stop.
