“So he gives self defense classes now?” Jo asked while you two we’re walking to the gym.
It was a lovely day, besides being winter, the sun decided to come out. Defrosting the little snow along the sidewalk.
“Yeah apparently.” You answered trying to focus on the conversation and trying not to fall on the slippery path.
“Are you okay?” She asked noticing you getting spaced out. She knew you too well.
“Yeah, its just weird. Feels weird.” You said. You couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that you were going to a self defense class were your ex boyfriend conducted. You knew that amongst all your friends she was the one who would understand why you we’re doing this, so you decided to invite her.
“I know. But hey?!” She sounded cheerful. “Don’t think about it too much, just try to enjoy it” she smiled giving you her arm for you to grabb and you smiled too.
“Its a free class tho” she joked and you two laughed. “And we will learn something useful for when we go clubbing”
You were happy to invite Jo. When you told her that you started being close to Brad again she made an effort to not judge, on The contrary all she did was smile and said
“I knew you two divs would meet again”
When you two arrived at the gym in your workout outfits, that you two thought a lil bit too much, ( girls, I’m i write?) you noticed that a lot of womans were there. You looked at Jo and she had that funny smirk on her face ready to make a light joke.
“Oh my god, I bet they here because of him” - she said.
“I don’t know. Maybe girls just want to feel safe” you said.
“Yeah right, and learn from the mister hottie itself. Two in one”
You gave your name on the reception and the nice young man told you could enter.
“Hey you” you heard someone behind you and you and Jo automatically turned around.
It was Brad, gym grey shorts and a white tee.
“Hi” you respond and he leaned in to give you a light kiss on the cheek and pressed his hand on your back.
“You came “ he said after one kiss at the cheek.
“You invited me” you respond slightly blushing.
You didn’t saw eachother since the last hot moment where you asked him to kiss you.
The interaction gained a few looks from the girls around. They look curious and wanted to gossip about the pair.
“Hey Jo, how are you?” He proceed to greet Jo and also give her one kiss on the cheek. She looked at you and you smiled.
“Super. How are you, Brad? Long time no see” she asked kindly.
“I’m fine thanks” He answered. “Yeah I’ve been doing some things” he smiles and someone called his name. “I had to go now. I see you ladies inside, okay?” He looked at you kindly smiling.
“Yes” you answer and you watched as he walked back.
“Omg he is such little cutie puppy “ jo said and you broke into laughter.
“Why are you saying that?” You asked her.
“Did you see those eyes?” Jo said. “He’s obsessed”
“Yeah but when I asked him to kiss me he refused” you ironically said rolling your eyes.
“Be patient he’s taking his time. Maybe don’t want to fuck it up like the last time” she shrugged his shoulders.
You were about to talk when someone started calling people to come in.
You weren’t going to lie. That sentence kept repeating itself on your mind the whole class. And besides being Brad who talked and interact with everyone l, explaining on what to do when yoy felt in danger, you kept quietly on the back with Jo, your pair, repeating the sequences.
“Please be free to make questions if you didn’t understand” he kindly said after taking a sip on his water bottle.
“Are you single?” Some girls, on the middle row asked and all the other laugh.
“Not that kind of questions” a guy who was standing by the door, laugh ironically.
“Yes… Jo?” He said and for a brief moment your attention landed on your friend that had her arm up.
“Hmm hi….” She awkwardly said and quickly looked at you, knowing you were about to kill her, but continued “ I was wonder if you could ilustrate that attack from behind and how to get lose” the smirk on her face gave away her thoughts.
“ hmm.. yes, sure” he smiled and all the girls in the room sighted excited.
“Can (y/n) do it with you?” She asked him and all the bodies turned around to look properly at the interaction.
As you were coming to the front, you glare at jo who blowed you a kiss followed by a wink. You felt uncomfortable because the women in the room were staring and you saw them murmuring.
You were definitely going to kill Jo.
“Everyone this is my friend, (y/n)” he said looking at you and you rolled your eyes at him.
He started explaining the possible situation and gesturing what were the best ways to escape. Or to defend yourself.
You took a glance over the room and notice that the women, now working in pairs, listened carefully.
“So imagine this: you’re walking down the street and someone aproches you, like this” he moved his attention to you, whispered you to turned your back to him.
“is this okay?” He asked right above your ear as he positioned himself behind you.
You felt his breath hit your skin and you only nodded yes.
He hugged you from behing, carefully not to smothered you. Your arms were crossed in front of your chest and he grabbed them.
“So this is what he’ll try to do to you. He blocks your arms so you couldn’t move, his body will press into yours.” He explained to the class while he came closer.
“He’ll fell dominant and possessive over you . Like he is in control. And you’ll try to get away, using all you force and body movement. Like this. (Y/n), can you try to unhold yourself?” He called you and by reflexion you moved your head to his side.
Your hair hit his face and the whole class humorously huffed, he had to move his head back otherwise your faces would touch.
“Sorry… hmm…yes” you answer with a low voice trying to get it together.
You tried to move your arms in order to get away from his hold. You tried really hard using all you force, but unsuccessfully. Yoy also used your body
“Maybe the body movement would get his attention lose” you thought to yourself.
You were starting to get tired.
“See? This is exactly what he wants, you’re getting tired and wouldn’t be able to fight much.”
“This is how you get loose” he talked. “Move your head violently backwards. You’ll need to break his nose. After that his attention will be directed to his pain and not to you. Use that opportunity to run”
After the class ended everyone was going outside. Brad asked you to wait for him so you stood there at the front desk while one by one left the building.
Jo had already gone and a guy, was checking the gym machines, unplugging them.
“Hi, do you need anything?” He asked noticing.
“Hello. I’m waiting for Brad. He told me to wait here” you answered.
“Oh yeah of course. Look I’m about to close this. Can you tell brad to locked it up after you two leave?
“Lovely. Thanks, darling” he said smiling and walking away.
The gym went silent after the guy come out of the door. You stood on your spot only to decide that after all the water you needed to use the restrooms. So you passed behind the front desk and tried to find it.
After walking a short corridor you saw a door with the words “locker room” and decided to come in and explore. The door leed to the locker rooms and you smiled thinking you’ve found the exact room you were searching for. Taking a left turn you froze on your spot only to see Brad stepping out a shower, white towel around hir torso and wet hair dripping.
“OH MY GOD” you turned around immediately. “Im so sorry” you felt your cheeks turning red.
“Did you find what you were looking for?” He asked in a sarcastic tone and smiled.
“I..I..I… sorry” you continued. “I …I…”
“Hey, calm down. Its okay. Like you haven’t see me naked before” he continued to be sarcastic and laughing of the situation.
“Brad. Seriously.” You warned him. You always hated the way he lighted the mood.
“Can you turn around please? Its even weird than you seeing me in a towel.” He said.
You closed your eyes and took a breath. The previous encounter was so fresh on your brain.
“I rather not” you quickly said.
“Seriously, its fine” he insisted.
“Turn around, (y/n)” his tone changed to serious.
You did as he told you to do and turned around slowly.
He was closer than before and as soon as He entered your periferic vision you couldn’t resist and go for a kiss.
He was taken back by your moves but gladly returned it.
His hands immediately grabbed your face softly and the space between you too got smaller and smaller…
