Chapter Six - Training

*Chapter Six - Training*

(Riley's POV)

"You did what!?" Kimmy yells at me as I pack my bag.

"Well, no matter how he found out I know this will benefit the gym. And it's not like he threatened me with my money problems." I say with a shrug of my shoulders as I zip up my duffle bag.

"You basically, as cleque as the is going to sound, made a deal with the devil. How are you so indifferent about this?" Kimmy through her arms up in exasperation. 

"Don't worry Kim," I assure her, "Nothing bad will happen to me." 

After I say that I pick up my bag and grab my keys as I head out to Haynes Protection, hoping I'm not making the biggest mistake of my life.

I stand at the doors of the building, not knowing why I won't open them and walk in. Feeling stupid, I take a deep breath and push the glass door open and walk inside.

I let my eyes take what's in front of me, noticing that I have caught a couple of eyes I turn m body to the front desk and walk over.

"Hello, my name is Riley West. I'm the new trainer," I introduce myself to the secretary. At my voice the redhead lifts her eyes to me.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there," she states sheepishly, "Nice to meet you Ms. West! I'm Becca. You can take that elevator right over there to the top floor. and I should take you to the training area."

"Nice to meet you to Becca." I smiled.

My heeled combat boots clicking on the marble floor as I speed walk past everyone into the elevator and push the button to the top floor.

"Now Remember R, people will underestimate you because of your size and that you are a girl. Use that to your advantage, give them hell," her father explains, "Prove them wrong by kicking their ass."

With a look of pure fire the girl looks at her father and nods.

I snap out if my memory when I hear the door slide open. I catch the eyes of Alexander right away, instead of his suit, he is shirtless with some black basketball shorts on.

I grip the strap of my bag tighter as I make my way through the training gym towards him.

"Glad you could make it, Firefly," he smirked.

"Right," I draw out, unamused with the little nickname he gave me, "Where can I change and put my stuff?"

He pointed to the changing rooms in the corner, "Right over there. When you are done come back over here and we will get started."

With a nod I head to the changing room, feeling his gaze on my back as I push the door open.

Slipping out of my jeans I put on my spandex. Having my sports bra under my shirt already, I shove my clothes in my bag and then put it in a locker. I pull my hair tie of off my wrist and throw my hair into  ponytail as I walk out of the changing room.

As I look at everyone in the gym I notice that only four people are actually here.

"Where is everyone?" I ask Alexander.

"These are the only new recruit we have so far," he answers me. "This is Remy, Finn and Felix. Guys this is your trainer, Riley."

As he introduces us I see Felix start down at me with his chocolate brown eyes in disgust, "You're having a girl train us?" He snorted.

"Oh no, not a girl," I gasp out sarcastically. Glaring at Felix I spat out, "Eat shit, asshole."

"Dude, you're my hero," Remy calls out, then looks to Finn and asks, "Can we keep her?!"
