The Boxers Match

iChapter 3

Melinda's POV

I closed my eyes, then opened them, looking at him

"Cristiano?" He looked at me smiling.

"Happy birthday!" I smiled at him, running and jumping on top of him. He groaned but laughed hugging me. "When did you get so fit?"

I laughed, "I got into sports a little after you left"

He smiled, I then noticed he was wearing his jersey. "Did you just come from a game?"

He smiled, "Yeah , we're playing the inter cup before the league starts, and we play here for the U.S tour" I smiled.

I got up and opened the door. "Well, come on, I'll get you some clean clothes. Liam has some, and um oh God, I don't know God i'm so excited!"

He smiled as he layed in my bed. I closed my door running downstairs, "he's here!"

Liam looked up from his phone confused. "Who?"

" Cristiano" He instantly got up from the sofa. "Where is he?"

"My room, why do you look panicked?"

"The whole place has a stench of weed"

"I have some axe, just use that" I tossed him the bottle and soon after he sprayed it, Cristiano came running downstairs. He ran to Liam hugging him tight. They did a brotherly hand gesture as they both started laughing. I smiled as I saw the gleam of Liam's eyes brighten.

They chatted for a while as I went to the store seeing what food meal I could make for 5 people with 15 dollars. I thought of making a nice chicken Alfredo, but the chicken was ten dollars, and with the other ingredients, I'd pass the budget, and that'd meant no food for tomorrow. But it didn't matter if I ate off not. I'll just tell cristiano that I ate. Yeah that'll do.

I was at home cooking and dancing to my Elvis Presley album while everyone was in the room catching up. I heard my phone ring as I saw an unknown number.

"Hello? Melinda speaking"

"Hi, I'm Shawn Cruz's manager. Your 22nd belt just brought you fame honey. I've been listening to the radio and today's radio commentary just rolled up the biggest rivalry in this season's fighting. I want you to fight Shawn. I've seen you fight, you're better than the guys he's fought before. It seems like a fair fight, but it's up to you baby girl. If you win, in which I hope not, you became famous. You're fighting people 2 weight classes higher than you and not just girl, but guys. I gotta tell you girl, you're the best I've seen so far. If we schedule the fight in about 4 months. On the 22nd? What do ya say sweetheart? Oh, I forgot to tell you, scouts are going to be there."

I stood silent for a while until the biggest smile erupted from my face. "You've got a deal sir. See you in a week "

"Will do Melinda" he hung up the phone as I smiled. My stomach growled when I was done cooking, out liked shoo damn good. I shrugged it off placing all their plates.

"Dinners ready!" They all came stumbling down as they smelt the pasta. They were all laughing. We sat down at the table as I sipped on my water bottle.

"Melinda aren't you going to eat?" Cristiano looked concerned as I shrugged

"I'm not hungry, Shawn took me out to eat earlier." He nodded and continued eating.

"So, how's the fighting doing? " Liam asked taking a sip of water.

"Good, got a major one in 4 months"

"With who?"

"Shawn Cruz" he stopped eating as the settled his fork.

He shook his head, "no"
