"Nice, keep going, pick up your pace." Samuel, my coach says as I continue sparring. My arms move faster as I push myself as much as I can. This is what I do best, I am the best.

I've been training here for most of the morning and thankfully, my session is coming to an end. I didn't have the best sleep last night so I'm not really feeling myself today. I very rarely dream but last night I had the weirdest one. It was like something was happening, I'm still not really sure what but all I know is that I was trying to stop it and I couldn't. I couldn't make out any faces but I could see shadows. It was weird.

Safe to say I only got a few hours sleep max. Samuel knows not to mess with me when I'm in a mood like this, actually everyone knows not to mess with me when I'm like this.

Eventually my session finishes and I remove the bandages around my fists and drink the remainder of the contents of my water bottle. I glance across the room and I see Asher leaning against the door frame with a smug look on his face. What does this idiot want?

I pick up my bag, nodding over to Samuel as a goodbye and I walk to wards Asher. "What are you smiling about?" I ask him and he shrugged his shoulders.

"What? Is it illegal to smile or something?" He replies smugly and I just want to push him into the door for being so annoying. I choose to ignore him and walk past him, making my way back through the gym towards the parking lot. I can sense him following me and I roll my eyes, not wanting to deal with him today. "So where's Spencer today?"

I stop and turn around to face him. "What? What's that supposed to mean?"

A grin begins to form across his face as he crosses his arms over his chest "I didn't say that I meant anything, I just asked where she was."

Why is he looking at me like that?

"Well she is clearly not with me so why are you asking?" I mutter and take out my keys, unlocking my Audi.

I haven't heard from her since yesterday actually. I don't know what was wrong with her but something was up, she seemed panicked or on edge. I didn't want to pry too much so I kind of just dropped the topic and trusted her that everything was okay. Maybe it was me? The whole 'I work alongside the mafia thing' might have scared her off.

The last thing I want is for her to feel scared, especially around me. No woman should feel scared around a man for any reason, especially someone who she trusts. I think she trusts me anyway. I would like to think that she does. I understand that we haven't known each other for that long but I would like to say that I trust her. I don't trust many people, but there's something about her.

"Kane?" I snap out of my trance and look over Asher who's staring at me with another smirk. "You like her don't you?"

What? Like her? What's that supposed to mean?

He chuckles, running a hand for his hair is a lean against my Audi Q2. "Shut up, she's engaged for god sake." He lifts his hands up in front of him in defence but keeps that smirk on his face. Wow I'd love to just reach over and punch it off him.

"I mean.. she's not married though. No tied down commitments or shit." He replies and I scoff at his comment, raising my brows as though I misheard him.
