We enter the dusty warehouse. I stay behind Theo so I have a clear escape if I need one. I know it sounds funny but all the movies I've watched about kidnapping are racing through my head right now.
There are no lights on in the warehouse and it's a bit creepy. I see a bunch of big shapes in the middle of the giant room but can't make them out in the darkness. Theo has taken off his jacket now and he sets it on a chair to the right. I'm looking around nervously, trying to make some things out in the darkness. All of a sudden a light switches on and shines down in the middle of the building where a giant boxing ring stands. In the boxing ring is a chair and in the chair is a man. I scream, startled by what just happened.
The man smiles and his teeth are whiter then snow. His skin is darker then Trevor's and all he wears are sweat pants. He goes to stand up from the chair and I see his muscles ripple beneath his skin. I try not to stare but I can't help it. Théodore climbs into the boxing ring and the two men hug. One of those man hugs where they grab each other's hands first and then fold into a hug, slapping each other's backs. Once they pull out of the hug the shirt-less guy starts talking.
" Man! I haven't seen you in forever! Where've ya been?" They're both smiling and I can already tell they're great friends. Theo shakes his head.
" Sorry, family stuff." at this moment Theo's friend notices me.
" And who do we have here?" he smiles and walks across the boxing ring towards me to shake my hand. I smile and reach up to return the favor.
" I'm Lilyanna Coleman." I dip my head and Theo's friend introduces himself.
" Antonio at your service," he gives me a mischievous look, " You don't happen to be related to Andrea Coleman, do you?" I let out a sigh.
" Unfortunately." I say. Antonio bites his lip and smiles. I see Theo roll his eyes in the background.
" I absolutely LOVE her! Such a big fan! Can't even wait until her next movie comes out!" he bounces in the air which makes me smile. " How does it feel? I mean, to be her daughter?" I let out a snort.
" It sucks." and with that I turned around, not wanting to carry on this conversation. I didn't want to talk about my mom anymore. She was a snotty rich bitch and it made me want to throw up to see that some people actually liked her. Well, they liked her acting and movies. They had no idea how she was in real life. I plopped down in the chair with Theo's jacket on it. By now I had a pretty good feeling I wasn't going to be kidnapped so I let myself relax. Then I realized I didn't know why we were here. I sat up and crossed my arms.
" Wait, Theo. What are we doing here?" in response Theo smiled and lifted up his shirt and threw it out of the boxing ring. Now I was looking at two shirtless men in a boxing ring in a warehouse. This day kept on getting stranger and stranger.
Then Antonio jumped down from the ring and went over to a closet in the corner that I hadn't noticed. He grabbed two pairs of boxing gloves and raced back over to Theo. He handed a pair to his friend and finally Theo looks back up at me.
" We're here to box, Lily."
