Just A Bittersweet Memory

Chapter 25- The New Me

(Mia's point of view)

I've been staying at Lewis' penthouse for a week, our usual routine was to wake up at 5 in the morning, go for a jogging for an hour then to the gym. We were also doing cardio exercises like walking briskly in the thread mill because he said that I need it for endurance.

At first, my body were aching and I wasn't able to move out of the bed but my body adjusted so I can keep up with whatever activity Lewis planned for us. We go to the boxing gym every weekdays.
Lewis said, "You're muscles are lean and weak. I'll help you to make it stronger sweet pea!"
Red was also good in hand to hand combat so he was the one who was training me. Lewis said that he will be my sparring partner as soon as I'm ready. Red said that Lewis was stronger and faster than him.

We arrived earlier in the boxing gym. Red called Lewis informing him that he'll be late for 30 minutes dut to heavy traffic. I changed my clothes.
I wore my white sports bra and my tiny, tight black shorts so that I could move freely. I tied my hair up and I wore my white rubber shoes.

Lewis said, "You will be the death of me sweet pea! Why do you have to wear those clothes?"
I answered, "What do you expect me to wear Superman? I don't want to wear pants and a shirt."

Lewis said, "Ok go to the boxing ring. Red will be late so I will train you while he's not around!"
I replied while winking, "Get ready cause I'm gonna beat your sexy abs!"
I tried throwing punches here and there but all he did was dodge and dodge. I can't beat this man cause he was trained for this since he was little but I know something else to defeat him.

What I did was, I slipped the strap of my top a little. My cleavage was already showing. He came on to me so I bit my lips and when he was about to kiss me, I used all my strength to push him on the floor but this man was really tough and heavy.

He said, "You're cheating sweet pea! So using your charms and seducing me was your plan to beat me all along?" I just smiled and I kissed his cheeks. I was on top of him then suddenly, we heard a voice saying, "Hmm! Guys am I interrupting you?"
I stood as fast as I could because Red had to see that scene. It was embarassing!

I trained with Red for an hour and he said that I was improving every session. I was so happy. Now I can feel the new version of me. Not some scared little girl who happened to be bullied and abused every time.

It was indeed a tiring day. After our shower, Lewis surprised me and prepared me delicious foods. I was spoiled rotten. I love my Superman! Oh wait! Did I just said that I love him? I knew from the start that what I have for this man is real.

Tonight he will take me to the spa.
I really need a massage after those intensive training. When he went out of the shower, of course I won't describe how yummy those abs were. He wore his white shirt and denim shorts paired by his white rubber shoes. I wore a lime green cropped top and denim shorts. I also wore my white rubber shoes to match my Superman.

He said, "Are you ready milady?"
I answered, "Aye! Aye! Captain!" When we arrived, the spa owner was very accommodating. We really enjoyed a lot! We're going out of the Spa area when a man bumped Lewis on the shoulder.
He said, "Oh! My bad! Sorry man!" Then Lewis answered with a surprised voice, " Ci fai qui cugino?"(What are you doing here cousin?)
He replied, " Sono stato mandato per una missione!" ( I was sent for a mission).
Lewis asked, " What is your mission?" The man replied, "I've been tracking the people who attacked the dock when you were shot."
I interrupted them and said, "Wait! Do you guys know each other?"
Lewis replied, "Sweet pea, this is my cousin Ethan! Cugino, this is my girlfriend Mia!"

We went to the nearest cafe so that the two cousins could catch up. I listened to their conversation. Ethan was telling Lewis that the leader of the Silver Snake is here and he was working with some guys here. I don't know if Lewis is in danger but I do hope that nothing bad will happen to him.
