Avery’s pov

As soon as my alarm struck, I got off the bed, a little buzz of excitement swimming inside me. Today is the first training session with Xade and last night, somehow I didn’t have that plaguing nightmare again. It was as if the anticipation of seeing him, had somehow cast out my fears, at least temporarily.

I couldn’t wait to see him.

I took a warm shower first and got dressed in one of my old workout clothes I cannot remember when last I had worn. Since it was early, I decided to throw over my hoodie to keep me warm from the chill of outside that awaited me.

I pushed my hair into a ponytail and looked behind me. Melissa got back late last night, of course after her ‘date’ with ‘Xade’ which I am now more than certain was not with Xade at all.

I don’t think he’d lie to me about going on a date with her. And Melissa being one to never wanting to lose would obviously have tricks up her sleeve to gain what she wants.

Too bad, I’d not give it to her.

With a grin, I grabbed one of my bags since I didn’t own a gym bag and make my way to the door, hoping I’d get to the gym in time.

I made it on time, with just seconds to spare. Speeding over, I noticed a man pushing a key in. He’s a towering man, and seeing that his hair had a few grey streaks I could tell that he was way older than me the one to open the gym.
