Nothing Even Matters

Chap 11

Devin's POV

"Metropolis," I said. "You'll love it."

"She's been here a lot," said Oliver. "Clark introduced us."

"I stayed over at the Kent Farm everytime I'm in Smallville," said Alexis. "I'm always at Ollie's in Metropolis." She sighed. "It doesn't feel like home when I'm at the Luthor Mansion."

"Why?" I asked.

"Everywhere I turn, there's security," said Alexis. "I'd rather live somewhere that I'll have freedom in."

"I'm having my assistant bring up your bags that Lex has dropped off upon my request," said Oliver as his assistant walked in with two suitcases and left. "I'll go and set up the room the way you like it."

"Do not touch anything in the duffel bag," said Alexis.

"Got it," said Oliver as he left.

"So, sparring with Oliver Queen," I said. "How much have you accomplished?"

"Wanna find out?" asked Alexis stepping on the memory foam mat. "It won't hurt."

"Alexis," I said putting my right hand on her left shoulder. She flipped me onto my back. "That wasn't what I wanted to happen."

"Well, you didn't say no," said Alexis as she helped me up. "So, what do you think of the place?"

"It's nice, for sure," said Brittany. "But, can us girls talk? Privately?"

"Yeah," said Alexis.

The girls went outside on the balcony as she closed the balcony doors. "Guys, I really miss her," said Blake.

"I don't understand," said Drew.

"What does Sam have that I don't have?" asked Blake.

"Muscles, fighting skills, he's good looking," I said.

"Hey, Alexis has told me that I'm actually good looking," said Blake. "Give me that credit but I see about the muscles and fighting skills."

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

"Why didn't I take sports in high school," said Blake.

"Look at Oliver," said Jayk. "I'm sure he didn't take sports."

"I absolutely didn't," said Oliver joining us. "I went to Excelsior Academy for the rich." I looked at him. "I do workout and do a lot of yoga. I've been from continent to continent, city to city. Non-stop because of Queen Industries. My parents died when I was young and I lived with my grandmother until I was ready to take on the business."

"See," said Jayk. "You can work out with Oliver."

"Not a very good idea," said Oliver.

"Why not?" I asked.

"You could get hurt, or serverly injured," said Oliver.

"But you spar with a girl," I said. "A petite Arkansas girl."

"She's training for a good reason and taught to endure pain," said Oliver. "She doesn't have bruises on her body to matter how hard I punch."

"You did get her good when we walked in," I said.

"I got a question," said Oliver. "She refuses to answer this in her work profile, but do you guys know if she's single?"

"Do you think we're stupid?" I asked. Oliver rolled his eyes and handed me the form. "Oh, it does say single, married, divorced, or widowed."

"She's with a guy named Sam Winchester," said TC. "We're trying to get her back with Blake."

"Sam Winchester?" asked Oliver. "Brown haired guy that dropped her off? Tall? Muscular?"

"That's him," I said.

"Okay. I don't know what code you're reading but they're over," said Oliver. "Sam and Alexis both told me that they're not together anymore."

"There's your chance bro," I said.

"But she's not looking for a relationship," said Oliver.

"Her and Sam could be dating secretly," I said.

Kat's POV

"So, you and Sam," I said. "What's up?"

"What do you mean?" asked Alexis.

"You and Sam are an item. It hurts Blake," said Brittany. "Don't you see that it hurts him."

"Sam and I aren't an item," said Alexis.

"As of when?" asked Kiley.

"As of hours ago," said Alexis. "We broke up, mutually, and I'm not looking for a relationship right now."

"Alexis, you and Blake are so happy together," said Ericka. "Why can't you just accept that fact?"

"When I start the academy, I don't wanna worry about my boyfriend in another state," said Alexis. "I don't want a long distant relationship anymore. I'm tired of not being able to hold them."

"Well, she went into precise detail," I said. "Alexis, I just want you to be happy."

"I am," said Alexis. "I'm with my friends and sparring."

"Sparring?" asked Brittany. "Not you."

"Okay, I admit. I took up sparring after I broke up with Sam," said Alexis. "I'm actually pre-training so when I get to the academy, I could start my job."

"Smart move," I said.

"I'm actually putting my career and education before me," said Alexis. "Just accept the fact that I'm moving on."

"Oh, we'll accept it alright," said Ericka.

"I'm with you," I said. "You can count on me, Alexis."
