Where We Belong

Chapter 140

"Again" Theo growled as I punched the bag. Left right left right. I had been continuously hitting this bag for over an hour. My arms were killing me and I was sweating in places I didn't know I could.

"Now next turn I want you to add in your knee" Tony was holding the bag as I continued to hit it.

My body was aching but never once did I give up. Never once did I run my mouth like I wanted to. My arms hurt, my legs hurt heck even my ass cheeks hurt but deep down this was working.

"Take a break get some water. I want you skipping within the next 10 mins". Theo patted me on the back before he left me alone with Tony. Collapsing onto the floor I lay flat on my back my breathing ragged. I was knackered.

"Here"

Opening my eyes I sat up a groan falling from my lips as I took the water from him. "Thanks" Gulping down the water I wiped a hand across my forehead.

"Is he always this tough?" I asked

"What's wrong little girl? Can't handle a bit of sweat?"Tony chuckled making me scowl.

"Your dad was right" Getting to my feet I wiped my hands off my ass "You are a jackass" Just as I was about to walk away his hand latched onto my wrist and I freaked out.

"Don't fucking touch me" I screamed "You don't get to put your hands on-..."

"Tony out" Theo was beside me crushing my arms to my side "Breath Ava just breath" He whispered "No one is touching you just breath in and out nice and easy".

Doing as he said my heart had finally settled in my chest. Opening up my eyes I felt the tears on my cheeks "I'm so sorry I have to go" But I couldn't get out of his grip, he wasn't letting me go.

"Stop running and face it" His stern voice woke something inside of me "Face it darling don't run from it. Now I want you to grab those skipping ropes and don't stop until you get the hang of it".

Taking another deep breath I quickly scanned the room noticing Tony had disappeared.

"I'll be back in a little bit I need to take care of something and don't worry no one is here".

Nodding my head I grabbed the skipping ropes like he asked. The last time I skipped I was 10 and I'm pretty sure it's not the skipping he wants me to learn.

He didn't come back and I had yet to get the hang of it but my body couldn't take anymore. I was hurting all over and couldn't wait to face plant my bed. Deciding I had done enough I hung the ropes back on the wall and went to grab my stuff.

"Ava?"

Tying my jumper around my waist I turned to face him. He didn't deserve the way I spoke to him and I know I was due him an apology.

"I freaked out and I'm sorry I didn't mean to"

"Hey" Holding his hands up he walked the short distance between us "Whatever you got going on is

your business but I'm here 5 days e

7 so if you ever need

"Thank you I appreciate it" Shoving the number in my pocket I was just about to say goodbye when my phone started to vibrate. "See you around Ava".....

Missed call..... Blaze.

Unlocking my car I jumped in before I called him back.

"Hey baby how you doing?"

It was so nice to hear his voice after not seeing him all day.

"I'm okay just heading home. What time will you be in?" I asked.

"I don't know darlin' could be a good few hours yet. Where have you been?"

"Just clearing my head. I miss you" Glancing in my rear view mirror I could see Tony hanging outside the front door.

"Miss you too baby. God I can't wait

to wrap my arms around you

tonight Listen sweetheart I have to go... keep that bed warm I'll see you soon"...

And then the line went dead.

I didn't want to go home just yet. I wasn't feeling up to being on my own. Yes my body hurt and I wanted to soak in the bath but a nice cold beer would go down a treat right now Catching sight of Tony again I sunk my teeth into my bottom lip. What was a better way to apologise than a nice cold beer?

Opening my door I caught his attention as I closed it behind me. "You needing a lift?" I asked as I walked to where he stood.

"I usually run home but if you're offering" He chuckled slinging his bag over his shoulder.

"How bout a nice cold beer instead? I was an asshole and-..."

"You already apologised Ava but a cold beer sounds dynamite right now" He grinned cutting me off.
