Chapter 9: The Training Begins

Cecilia's POV

It's been two days since I signed up for The Championships and since I met Vic. It's also been two days since I briefly met that man at the bar whom looked too professional to be there. It feels like I know him from somewhere but I just can't seem to put my finger on it. I'm still questioning his appearance there but that's least of my worries at the moment.

It is Monday.

Today is the day I start training with Chase and I can't wait until our shift is over in an hour.

I wonder what we will do first.. will he teach me one of his famous tricks? Will he tell me all the secrets he learned while he was there? Will he tell me my opponents weaknesses? 

"CECILIA!!!" 

I jumped so high, I was about to fly out the roof.. What the hell?

I look over to see Chase looking at me with a worried expression. We are both in the garage finishing off a red 1996 BMW 318i convertible. Caleb and dad are at gran's café at the moment 'taking care of business' but we all know that they went to eat gran's famous BLT. Also Caleb wont miss his chance to drool over Lily. Which reminds me again about Operation Laleb. 

"I'm sorry, you okay? I've been calling your name for the past five minutes." he says as he trails off.

I can't tell him that I was fantasizing about all the amazing things he will teach me, it will boost his already sky high ego. "I'm fine, I was just lost in thought." I say smiling at him.

"Thanks for stating the obvious Captain Obvious."

"Your welcome my loyal sidekick." I say, still smiling.

Chase gives me an unamused face but he still cracks a smile. Right when he was about to say something..... 

"I NEED SOME WAFFLES AND PICKLES!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY CECE???" And that ladies and gentlemen was Vic who has made himself comfortable in my house by eating all my food, watching Netflix on my account and calling me Cece. From the sound of it, he is taking my kitchen apart trying to find waffles and pickles which by the way he already ate last night along with my Oreos and ice-cream.

I swear he is on his period.

"One second." I mutter to Chase as I walk into the kitchen, trying to stay calm but I don't think it's working. As soon as I walk in I see Vic halfway in the fridge with his butt in the air. I really didn't want to see that. Although seeing a grown man who spends too much time in the gym halfway in the fridge is quite the sight.

Just then Chase walks in and sees my facial expression which must be a horrified one.

"What are you..." His eyes trail towards Vic. "Oh dude! Put your butt away!! We don't want to see that!!" Chase says as he covers his and my eyes with his large hands.

"Your just jelly of my Nikki Minaj butt!!!" I heard Vic yell, Chase's hand still covering my eyes. "But Cece I really need some waffles and pickle." He whined.

That seemed to snap me out of my horrified state. I shoved Chase's hand off my eyes and saw red. I had enough of keeping calm.

"I have had enough!! You are eating my food, watching my Netflix, using my bath bombs and taking my space on the couch!! It has only been two days and you already drive me crazy!! Don't you have a house to go to and family to pester?!?" I shout desperate to punch something. "And if you call me Cece one more time I'm going to punch you so hard your ancestors will feel it"

"Wooooooooow calm your bonbons Cec- umm Cecilia. First off those bath bombs make me smell delicious and all I wanted was some waffles and pickles.." Vic pouted. "Can't a man have his waffles and pickles in peace" he mutters. He completely ignored my comment about his house and family.. I wonder why.. but I won't push it. Nevertheless, I'm still pissed.
