Thorn in my side

Up and Down

The Next Day

Violet's POV

The alarm in my newly acquired hotel room went off at 5am sharp, which in my opinion was far to early but apparently that's when wrestlers trained. Why did I want to be a wrestler again? Oh yeah free housing and a hot Samoan man giving me $2,000.

I dragged myself out of bed and walked into the bathroom turning the hot water on as high it could go. I rarely had access to hot water so I was definitely going to enjoy this small luxury. I took off my pajamas then stepped under the scorching hot water and sighed in contentment. Sadly I didn't have much time to enjoy the hot shower as I needed to get to the performance center by six, so I quickly washed up then stepped out and dryed off. I then put on a thong and black nike sports bra, before putting on black nike leggings. I put my hair in a ponytail so it would be out of my face then headed out the door to began my walk to the performance center.

Thankfully the performance center was only a five minute walk from the hotel we were being housed in. To no ones surprise as soon as I entered the performance center all eyes were on me. Guess that's what happens when you slap the person in charge. Oh well, at least they knew what would happen if they tried to run their mouth about me. Actually I was being generous when Roman ran his mouth I'd be far less generous if they stepped to me.

Roman and his brothers arrived exactly at six." Alright spread out, we're going to jump straight into our warm up exercise. I see there's a few less faces here today. Let that show you that wrestling isn't for everyone. Wrestling is 25% physical and 75% mental. If you believe you can't handle what we're throwing at you today then don't come back tomorrow because we aren't even getting to the basics today." Roman said as we spaced out appropriately." My brother Seth is going to lead the warm up today, good luck." He said as Seth stood in the center of the ring so we could see him.

"Drop and gave me 100 push-ups. As one cohesive team. I want everyone going down and coming back up at the same time. Every time someone messes up, we start over at one. Do I make myself clear?" Seth asked.

"Yes sir." Everyone shouted. Oh yeah I forgot that was a thing, I still didn't understand it. It's not like we were in the fucking military.

"Good, now everyone get in a start position." Seth instructed and everyone got into the down position of a push-up." Up." Seth instructed and everyone did so." Down." He instructed and everyone counted one. Guess we're counting now too, great. I did enough of that in kindergarten.

"Up." Seth repeated." Down." He said a few seconds later and everyone besides me shouted two. Pretty sure he wouldn't notice one person not counting and if he did well I still didn't care.

This process continued seamlessly until our 75th push-up, when the girl beside me didn't go up with the rest of us and Seth spotted it and walked over to her.

"What's your name?" Seth asked looking down at her.

"Eva, sir." Eva responded timidly.

"Well Eva congratulations you just caused everyone to start at one again." Seth said and a few people groaned in annoyance." Did I ask for a response? Didn't think so. Now let's start again shall we. Up." He said starting the count again.

Twice someone fucked up and we had to start over, thankfully by the fourth time we got to a hundred with no one fucking up. My arms were already sore, because like I said earlier I'm not an athlete. I just know how to fight. Speaking of which when was the actual wrestling part of this try out.

The next four hours were spent doing laps, burpees, high knees, squats, lunges, dumbbell swings, sumo squats, bear crawls and countless other stupid exercises. In the span of four hours at least ten people threw up, one girl cried and three people left because they couldn't handle it anymore.

As for me, my whole body hurt. I honestly didn't know how I was still standing. I couldn't have been more relieved when Seth said." Alright that's all for today guys. For those of you who stuck it out today, good job." He said and everyone clapped besides me. I was to tired to clap. The class began to empty out and I leaned against the ring drinking water.

"You ready to earn that money, Violet?" Roman asked walking over to me once everyone left.

"I'm ready to take a nap." I responded and he laughed, which I didn't understand why I was being serious.

"Seth's workout tire you out?" Roman asked.

"No I'm just always out of breath and sweaty." I said sarcastically finishing the water bottle in my hands." Anyways what would you like me to do sir?" I asked saying the sir part sarcastically.

"You don't have to call me, sir. And your first task is pretty simple, we just need you to clean our house." He said casually.

"Do I look like a maid and before you answer that just know I have no problem slapping you again." I said and he playfully rolled his eyes.

"No but you do look like someone who didn't want charity and now owes me $2,000." He countered.

"Fine let's get this over with so I can sleep." I said with a heavy sigh as I began to follow Roman and his brothers to their car.

I climbed in the back with Dean who kept staring at me as we drove to their house." You know it's impolite to stare, Dean." I commented as I looked out the window.

"Who said I was polite sweetheart?" Dean asked.

"Fine, let me rephrase that. Keep staring at me and I'll give you a reason to stare." I countered.

"Hey don't be threatening me with a good time, Violet." Dean said with a smirk.

"If you two don't stop acting like children.."Roman threatened.

"You'll do what exactly? Ground us?" I asked sarcastically and Dean laughed.

"Love your choice for our assistant by the way, brother." Dean said.

"I have a name you know." I said rolling my eyes.

Roman sighed heavily as me and Dean kept on going back and forth till we arrived at their house. Actually house might be an understatement, this place was a fucking mansion.

"This place is huge.." I said in shock as we all got out of the car.

"It's not the only thing that's huge, sweetheart." Dean said with a smirk and both his brothers punched him in the shoulder." What...it's true." He mumbled as we entered the house.

"All the cleaning supplies are in the hall closet to the right, if you need anything we'll be in the gym doing our workout." Roman said then him and his brothers headed to their in home gym without another word. As I stood in front of the hall closet speechless. This house was going to take forever to clean and all I wanted to do was fucking sleep.
