iShatteredSanity: -Well, that breakfast was surely something that both Dixie and Demetrios would remember for some time. And why shouldn’t they? After getting a desert with a lot of “syrup”, of course they would get sticky. Demetrios had his arms wrapped around Dixie as she was laying on her side, both staring deep into the other’s eyes. Smiling all the time and tapping his fingers on her back, Demetrios did not want that moment to end.- “So, how was your breakfast Dixie angel?” –He asked in a playful tone while winking at the same time. Of course at the same time he was rubbing softly his left knee against her right thigh, not helping himself but wanting her more and more.-
*
CharlotteCarrendar: – Grinning back at him, like the kitty that had just had herself all the cream, she made a light purring sound, giggling as well. “D-elicious.”- Just one word, but how she said it, left no question in his mind, she could always go for more. To add to that he was teasing her still, she couldn’t help but bite her lip, eyes half closed. “The day has started, when the sparrow farted. We are never going to get out of bed at this rate. We be like….John and Yoko…forever in bed.”- Dixie felt so at ease around him, she was coming out with the most peculiar things. “I feel so much better, having told you everything. Like a giant weight, has been lifted. Thank you, Baby.”- she pecked his lips softly, before laying back against the pillow- <3>
*
iShatteredSanity: -“D-elicious.”. That word alone that parted Dixie’s lips was enough to make him smile brightly, more bright than the sun itself.- “I am so glad.” –Demetrios whispered softly as he planted a soft kiss on her nose, and chuckling softly in a playful tone after hearing the rest of her words. True, with the way things were going, it would be a Herculean feat, no, a miracle for them to get up from the bed. Leaning his head a bit backwards and hearing the rest of her words, he nodded slowly while smiling at the same time.- “I thank you for that from the bottom of my heart Dixie.” –He said while closing his eyes as she stole a kiss from his lips. Looking at her laying on the pillow, he nodded to himself just once. It was time.- “Dixie, you have been honest and sincere with me. It is time for me to do the same.” –Demetrios said and took a deep breath, exhaling it slowly.- “I think that you should learn about me as well, what I have done in my life, how Mia, Helena and the Russians came into my life.” –Demetrios stopped there, knowing that those words would pick Dixie’s curiosity. He looked at her, waiting to see her reaction to those names, but more than anything, he wanted to see her reaction on his words about finally revealing who Demetrios really was.-
CharlotteCarrendar:- For all that was known of Dixie, she was still incredibly young, and not up to speed with just how bad the world truly is. Sheltered almost, by Demetrios, in their love nest come garage, this was to be the turning point in their relationship. How she handled this, would show Deme just how much she was in love with him. Truly…madly….deeply. The kiss to her nose, had her wrinkle it up, and she threw her arms around him for a hug, so tight, only to release and let him say what he needed too. Her eyes kept bright, her smile as well. Unaware of the extent of what was coming. “I know you told me about Mia…and I got to know her and she is really nice. Aside from ill timed messages. Going to punch her for that one. Heh.” Still holding that smile. She was staring at Demetrios, positively idolising him. “Tell me everything. I want to know it all, so there is nothing between us. Just you and me. Peaches and cream.” <3>
*
iShatteredSanity: -Looking at Dixie not betting startled by what he had said, but wanting to listen to him, Demetrios nodded slowly with a soft smile on his face. He knew about the incident with Mia, and he was thankful that those two got along together. Laughing softly at her comment about punching her, Demetrios caressed her back softly.- “So, where do I start. First lets start by my past in Greece.” –Demetrios knew that this would be a long chapter, so he preferred to focus on the really important facts. Taking a deep breath, his chest expanding as his lungs filled with air, he exhaled it slowly as he began speaking, his voice heavy, bass and deep as usual, his tone calm and collected.- “I was born and raised in a military family. My father was a general, my mother was about to become one. My early years had not been so nice and kind. Constant training, never living a life like all kids around my age did. But that was to be expected.” –Demetrios paused for a moment as the images from his past flashed before his eyes.- “But I can’t complain. They did not know better. They wanted their son to be the best. But it all changed when I turned fifteen.” –Another pause. Demetrios’ tone changed slightly into a more emotional one.- “I did my rebellion, but it did not end well and I was forced to join a military academy. That’s where I met Alexandros. That’s where I met my brother from a different mother.” –And another pause, this time his voice clearly shaken a bit and he half closed his eyes.- “And also, that was when I met her…” –Demetrios stopped there. Not because he wanted to add more suspense, but because he needed to take a breath. Of course those words would only make Dixie curious and perhaps frown a bit, Demetrios knew that all too well, but he himself had decided to remove his mask and drop it on the ground.-CharlotteCarrendar: – As Dixie was listening, her facial expression started to change. From being totally happy, carefree and content, the smile started to fade, replaced by a half smile, then the smile was gone. Like the sun had just set across the horizon, and the darkness had fallen. The manner in which Demetrios was breathing, the rise and fall of his chest, his body was screaming what his voice could not yet project. Gently, in an action to try and help calm her love, she started to stroke his side gently. Urging him, to keep going. The mask had fallen, possibly about to smash, but it had to be this way. She had to know the truth. For only when you know all, can you make the right decisions. Her eyes followed his through the turmoil she could see, then suddenly, he said… “And also, that was when I met her…” The stroking suddenly stopped, as if time itself had ceased to exist. Dixie blinked twice and uttered softly. “Her?” He tried to take another breath and Dixie…held hers. <3>
*
iShatteredSanity: -All the while that Demetrios was talking, he could feel Dixie stroking his sides in an attempt to comfort him. How grateful he was about that. But of course as he spoke, he could see the expressions on Dixie’s face change from smiling to a blank expression. And then the surprise as soon as he mentioned another woman. His eyes immediately fell upon hers, staring deep into them and nodding slightly.- “Yes, her…” –A deep sigh parted Demetrios’ lips.- “Her name was Marianna and she was my instructor.” –Demetrios said and took another deep breath, his chest once again expanding, trying to keep his cool.- “But as I said, she was. I used the past tense because that woman is no longer in life.” –While Demetrios kept his cool, he could not prevent his voice from breaking.- “Forgive me.” –He said and coughed softly a few times, away from Dixie’s face, to clear his throat.- “She was the instructor on my team that consisted of 5 other people, including Alexandros.” –A small pause was made and Demetrios took another deep breath, this time his voice changing into a perhaps happier one.- “We all gave monikers to each other based on our performances between our team against the other teams. We had the ferryman, the racer, the beast, the priest, the genocide and…” –Another pause was made, one that made Demetrios close his eyes for a moment.- “…and the grim reaper.” –Upon revealing the last moniker, Demetrios opened his eyes and looked back into Dixie’s eyes.- “That was my team and I was chosen as their leader. Now, we only had mock battles, but we still used weapons that could seriously injure someone. We needed to be as realistic as we could after all.” –Demetrios stopped there and looked at Dixie once again, wondering if she understood any of what he was saying.-*
*
CharlotteCarrendar:- A splinter of a second, a jealous streak. Tainted with poison so green and foul. The mention of another woman in Demetrios’s life, had Dixie dumbstruck for a moment, but then, she had a miraculous recovery, the stroking resumed and her brows knitted, as she tried to regain her composure. Ears pricked high, feeding off every word that left his mouth. She started this. Dixie got him comfortable enough to lay it all out in the open. So this was her responsibility to help him through. Cast aside her doubts, cast aside the jealous moments. Focus on him. She took a deep breath, and immersed herself back into this tale. Her name, was Marianna, an instructor. It would appear she was older. Or that is how it seemed. More breaths taken. Pausing to gather himself. Dixie then smiled, as his tone changed. When he mentioned the monikers. “We all gave monikers to each other based on our performances between our team against the other teams. We had the ferryman, the racer, the beast, the priest, the genocide and…” Her face searched his for the missing name, which was to come later. “…and the grim reaper.” His eyes closing, had her wonder….and then it hit her. The engagement party. He was dressed as the Grim Reaper. This was more than a moniker. There was a good reason for it. The conversation turned to mock battles with realistic weapons. Dixie’s eyes searched his face. “Deme…what happened? Please tell me?” <3>
*
iShatteredSanity: -Demetrios always had the tendency to see the expressions on the face of his interlocutor. He was always checking to see if the expressions matched the words spoken, he was always checking to see if one was honest. And there was a plethora of expressions on Dixie’s face as he was talking. How much he loved Dixie. He did not only love her for the sex or the touch, he loved her because she was honest and she did not hide things from him. A soft smile appeared on his own facial expressions and he nodded slightly upon her request to continue.- “My team along with Marianna, out instructor, was supposed to do a clean up on some old minefield. We were told that the mines were dud, we even tested them afterwards when we dug some of them off the ground.” –Slowly Demetrios facial expressions began to change. His face turned blank, empty of any expressions.- “But…” –There, it was at that point of time when Demetrios closed his eyes and his voice broke once again.- “We were all mistaken. Not all of the mines were dud. There had been some that were still active, even after many decades.” –Demetrios paused once again, taking a few deep breaths and opening his eyes only to half close them.- “Marianna was only 10 feet away from me and Alexandros when she put a smile on her face and told us to go to the truck and load the dud mines there. Both Alexandros and I nodded and did as we were told. None of us knew what was really going on though. When the distance from Mariana was about 50 feet, it happened.” –Demetrios closed his eyes again and sighed deeply when tears began to create small ponds on his eyes before they slid down on his cheeks.- “At first we did not know what had happened. It was as if someone had pushed us forward and we fell on the ground on out stomachs. But it was that moment when we heard that sound. There was an explosion right behind us. Both Alexandros’ and my eyes opened wide and we looked at each other terrified. Then we turned around and looked at the hole on the ground after the explosion. It was the spot where Marianna was earlier. We… W—” –Demetrios could no longer restrain himself and he began sobbing as more and more tears rolled down on his cheeks.- “Alexandros and I yelled Marianna’s name many times, but we got no response. Even the other guys and the two drivers began shouting Marianna’s name, but to no avail. It was only when the smoke cleared when we realized what had happened.” –Demetrios sniffed and gulped hard.- “What we all saw when the smoke cleared was Marianna laying on the ground but her right leg and almost her half right torso missing while her intestines were laying all over the place. She was still alive, but she was coughing up blood. She was still alive and instead of crying from the pain, she was smiling to us. She looked at Alexandros and me with a smile that immediately made us think that she was merely joking and that it was all just a joke. And it was that time when she said only a few words before she finally collapsed, she told us “I am sorry you two. You must go on without me. You two are brothers, the grim reaper and the genocide that will not stop until their target is silenced. The storm that will cleanse everything on its path.” That we were told.” –Demetrios closed his eyes once again, trying to regain his composure, but he failed.- “Next thing I know is Alexandros and me waking up in the barracks with our captain looking at us.” –Demetrios said, barely restraining himself from breaking down, but his tears flowing nonstop.-
CharlotteCarrendar: – Dixie lay beside him, watching, waiting. The truth of his past, would emerge into the light. But the tale, was one of which she could not have possibly imagined. Keeping up with the gentle stroking, urging him to keep going, helping him, every step of the way. She was set to walk through this tale. His words spinned into a field, black and white in her mind. There was an army truck, and they had been clearing the land of dud mines. She was there, watching as it all played out for her. “We were all mistaken. Not all of the mines were dud. There had been some that were still active, even after many decades.” Now, for anyone with any knowledge of explosives, there are some that can stay live, for many years after they are placed in the ground. Dixie brought her forehead to touch Deme’s as he had his eyes closed. Connecting her heart and mind to his, as he continued to speak. Further, the scene was Alex and Demetrios heading for the truck, and Marianna was fifty feet behind them …..~KABOOM!~ the shockwave from the blast would send the men flying, off their feet, landing on the ground and skidding along on their stomachs. Dixie kept listening, and she could see the imagery. “Oh …god.” Dixie whispered. Realising now, just what it was that happened. The tears were now flowing down his cheeks. A river, a flood of pent up emotion. The years they had been held back behind the wall, behind his self imposed prison of inner turmoil. Marianna was broken….torn, her limbs blown off, her torso….Dixie found herself blinking tears as she tried to stay strong for him. The horror..and yet, this woman, this brave woman, was smiling as her life was draining from her, like the sands running from the hourglass. Dixie hiccuped a cry, and her stroking of his side stopped, as she brought her hands to his cheeks, cradling his face, and kissing his tears, as he finished telling the most horrific story of his life. “Deme…” -her mouth was turned down, an upside down smile. She shared his tears…she shared his grief- <3>
*
iShatteredSanity: -Demetrios had kept going and going and going, revealing what had happened on “that” day that him and Alexandros kept mentioning every once in a while. But still, despite having revealed that information about that fateful day, he hadn’t revealed the reason that he was so devastated. The comforting of Dixie was enough to keep him sane and bring him back to the present after all those images had flashed before his very eyes that could not hold back the stream of tears; that dam had broken. Feeling Dixie’s lips on his face, cleaning it from his tears, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at her as he coughed softly, away from her face, to clear this throat.- “I am sorry about this. But the truth about me being so devastated is because Marianna was my first in everything. The first woman to love, the first woman to love me back, the first woman to be there for me, and the first woman who made me a man. She made me a man in more ways than one.” –There, Demetrios had said it, the real reason bout being devastated; love.- “After that, Alexandros remained in the academy for some more time, but we had both changed a lot. While I was in a secret relationship with Marianna that only Alexandros knew about, she was like a big sister to him. We both took it really hard.” –Demetrios made another pause for a few moments, wiping his tears away and regaining his composure.- “And about 2 months after that fateful day, there was another event where the members of some other team pressed Alexandros’ and mine buttons. They wanted to win so badly that they mocked Marianna’s death. That was it, Alexandros and I snapped. We ended up almost killing that team without using any weapons but our bare fists. Alexandros and I alone decimated their team and we shattered their dreams of ever becoming soldiers. They had suffered severe injuries that prevented them from continuing in the military. It was that day when Alexandros left the academy and went to Japan, it was that day when I had lost contact with my brother. It was also that day when I was beaten down by my father in front of everyone at the academy. It was that day when I wanted to leave for good, but in the end I stayed behind and continued living with those two incidents haunting me for life.” –Demetrios said and took a deep breath, exhaling it slowly as he laid on his back, turning his head to the side and looking at Dixie.- “I kinda need a smoke.” –He said and slowly let go of her as he rose from the bed and headed towards the table, taking a cigarette, lighting it and sitting on the couch to smoke it.-
*
CharlotteCarrendar:- A raging torrent, a swirling whirlpool that was set to take Dixie down into the depths of despair, when the flood gates to his mind, released onto her. And like the levys that hold the water from destroying the towns and cities, Dixie tried to stand tall in the face of all that was coming upon her. Wave after wave of his life, and the center of it all, was Marianna. She was his first. His first love, his first woman to make him a man. Like Travis had been the one that Dixie had sworn to give herself to the night of the crash, Marianna was the one that Demetrios had loved first. Slowly Dixie let go, her hands coming down to her sides. The force of the words and memories were bashing against her, as she struggled to be understanding. But more the violence of the aftermath of her death, seemed to destroy the lives of not just Dem and Alex at this point, but those in the other team from the academy decided to mock the death of Marianna. All part of some war games and this would prove to be the catalyst that would place both men on a different path. “They wanted to win so badly that they mocked Marianna’s death. ” Dixie’s face would be one of horror, as he divulged that he and Alex killed these men with their bare hands. Dixie felt the bile of her stomach rising in her throat, and she had to catch herself, swallowing back. This was getting too much, even for her to listen too. She couldn’t say stop, but she was turning green. The coldness that you get, when something so horrible goes through you. Like ice water trickling down your spine. Dixie sat still on the bed, when Demetrios pulled away from her. “I kinda need a smoke.” he said, and headed to the table, to grab his packet and then sit on the couch, by himself to smoke it. Did he suddenly feel that he had gone too far, or was the cigarette to help calm his shattered nerves. Dixie didn’t move or speak, all she could do was watch, as he lit his match and then brought it to the tip of the cigarette, inhaling. Slowly she lowered her legs over the sides of the bed, and then rose to standing. She was wearing one of his T’shirts, and nothing else. Padding over slowly, she stood beside him, as he took another drag, and she finally lowered to her knees, and lent to his right leg, and lay her head on his knee, staring out the small window, where the sun had gone behind a cloud. This was to be a dark time, and she didn’t have magic words to soothe him. All she could think to do….was to be there. To be by his side. To stand by him. <3>
LadyBelz: Even though she had kept up her regime of yoga while she was on vacation, she felt it was time for something a little extra. She had asked around and had gotten the information on the new place everyone seemed to enjoy going to, Balls of Steel Gym. So, grabbing her duffle bag, she tied it down to her cycle and roared off down the street, startling a group of pigeons that had been resting nearby. It wasn’t much longer she found herself in the parking lot of the building that had a pretty decent view of the water nearby. Sliding off her sunglasses and slipping them into the top of her jacket, she grabbed her duffle and headed inside. She instantly liked what she saw as she made her way to the reception desk.
*
CharlotteCarrendar:- At the reception desk, Summer Childs was going through the latest membership forms, and then picking up the phone, which buzzed shrilly, over the din of the music and the grunts and groans of the weightlifters. The odd clink of barbells, the chatter of laughter from the aerobics squad, and of course, the dull shush sound, every time the doors to the gym slid open. Josh, the owner came out of his office, holding an email from a new client, then he nearly swallowed his gum when he saw who approached the desk. Smacking Summer’s rear, he then got her to look up from her lists to see the famous star of Death Club, enter the Balls of Steel gym, taking off her sunglasses. “Oh my god…its Mia!”- she squealed, and then got a round elbow from Josh, who tried to hide his delight. “Welcome to my Balls of Steel…gym. So wonderful of you to come. Please, would you like the tour, or I can have Summer show you to the locker rooms to get started on a healthy new you.” <3>
*
LadyBelz: Staring at the two people who spoke to her, Mia could only shake her head. She was used to the shocked looks by this point and it always amused the hell out of her. She leaned against the counter, looking from Summer to Josh. “Well I’d like to think I’m pretty healthy already. I just want to keep myself toned. I don’t think Yoga is enough any more, so I came for that something extra.” she stated.
*
CharlotteCarrendar: – Something extra? Josh was quick on the retort. “But of course, and may I say you do look amazing, for …what you must be all of twenty…did I say that…-cough- We have many, many wonderful services here. Allow me to introduce our swimming instructor and pool boy, Buck.”- Now Buck was an american who was a former Olympian diver and looked fabulous in a pair of speedos. He came through with his throng of bingo ladies, that included none other than Nanna Noonie. “Water aerobics in ten, ladies.”- the gaggle of elderly dittys in their faded floral swimmers, and sarongs, all giggled like school girls, while Nanna Noonie was taking up the rear, holding a basket of her muffins. “Buckz…Buckz…vait vor mez.”- She was wearing a bright orange flower skull cap and red flip flops. All the women looked like they could do with an iron. Seeing as Buck was up to his armpits in elderly ladies, Josh coughed and smirked saying “We offer pensioner discounts….here, let me show you to the locker rooms, then the gym is at your disposal.” <3>
*
LadyBelz: For a woman just entering her 30’s, Mia took the compliment as it was meant and she gave Josh one of her slow sexy smiles. When Buck came through with an horde of women who looked as if they traded Viagra like Pokemon cards, she had to bite her tongue, especially when she spotted Inga’s grandmother among them. “Now that woman right there gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘Cougar Hunt’.” Mia chuckled, more to herself, but allowing anyone who had heard her to comment. “I think a tour would be best since this is my first time here and whatnot. Is this a 24-hour place or do you have certain hours you operate? And what kind of packages do you offer?”
*
RagingNEM: -Danyael was off still near the pool his head turned side was watching the whole matter then shook his head he so hated overly displays of emotions let alone crowds, he looked at the Irish red haired Amazon next to him and then spoke again- ” I am still sorry about what happened please do accept my apology I didn’t mean to bump in to you, If anything allow me to make it up to you by buying you something to drink or eat dinner perhaps? -he would look at the woman and wait to she had time to think over what he was offering-
*
CharlotteCarrendar:- Summer got off the phone and put away the membership cards, only to look at Josh, who was obviously trying to butter up the newest client. She chimed in. “We offer massages to our clients, who like to have all the tension worked out of their muscles. We have a sauna, which is great as well. Towels are provided, as well as water bottles.” -she nodded as she spoke, then handed Mia a colourful pamphlet, that when you unfolded it, showed a map of all the facilities. “I can take you around if you like?”- Summer offered, stepping out from behind the desk and showing off her nike sports pants, cropped Balls of steel tank top and nike cross trainers. “Would you like to see the weights section, or perhaps the treadmills. We have cable and 248 stations, so you can work out 24/7. Open all hours, for those on tight schedules. I am the night assistant, but doing the day shift for Amelia, who broke her leg in a tragic skiing accident in Switzerland. But enough about that, here, this is the peddle bikes and over there…*she points to the boxing room*…you want to relieve stress, take a turn at the punching bags. I find its good for the heart and mind.”- Just then the doors shushed open and a orange looking Kraus entered in his favourite torn sleeved superman tank with blue nike tight shorts, matching nike runners. Carrying his sports bag, he looked like he had been to this gym before. Coming in behind him was Inga, dressed in a snappy Hello Kitty Aerobics suit and holding her stomach. “I feel fatz…I dhink I ate too many strudels in Spain. I vant the machine that rolls out the fatz…where is Zummer?”- she whined. Yes…Inga and Kraus were back. :: By the pool, the water aerobics class was getting their sarongs off, much to other swimmers grief, and Maggie almost choked seeing Nanna Noonie do the big reveal when she dropped her towel. “Great gods and saints…I ain’t seen saggy tuts that bad since mah dog gave birth to it’s fourth litter. That is so wrong…oh…*she smiled back at Danyael and said.” I get over the tut bump…but you can buy me a coffee..and we can maybe do some yap. By the way, ever been to the DC?” <3>
*
RagingNEM: -Danyael shuddered at the sight he was in agreement with Maggie on the saggy titties laughing at his self for thinking almost the same thing- ” Sure coffee is fine but i rather drink mountain dew never drank coffee in my life, unless you count banana nut capachinos ? and Yes I have been to DC on a few times why do you ask ? -he would say as he got up and waited for Maggie to lead the way to the coffee shop-
*
LadyBelz: “Boxing…hmm…I think I might give that a try.” Mia answered, taking the pamphlet without really looking at it. She hated maps with a passion. She preferred just going where the wind takes her. Hearing the doors open, she looked up in time to see Klaus and Inga walk in the door, Inga complaining about food. She was surprised Klaus was still orange. “Hey Inga, how was Spain? By the way, you may want to do something about your grandmother…she looks like she’s about to make another conquest.” Mia smirked, pointing to the pool area. Statement made, she returned her attention to Summer. “What about a personal trainer? Is that offered here if I’d like to make use of one? Not that I’m saying I need one, but I would like to have that option.”
*
CharlotteCarrendar:- The idea of something a bit more exotic, was all new to the likes of busker Maggie. Banana nut capachinos? Maggie grabbed her towel and offered her hand to Danyael, as they headed to the Balls of Steel Coffee shop. “I do a bit of work in the DC, twirling the bottles…making drinks. It’s a good job. Great tips.”- Over at the coffee shop, Neena, was serving up some fruit smoothies and then smiled, wiping the counter top. She was a brightly smiling girl, with a huge afro do, that was littered with butterfly clips. “Would you like a copy of our menu?” -she said, handing Danyael and Maggie the drinks sheet. :: Kraus was filling out forms on the desk for the Christmas give away, a new car, which was parked out the front, decked in a big red ribbon. Inga saw Mia first, and whipped off her “Hello Kitty” sunglasses. “Oh my godz…Miaz? Is dat you? I normally zee you vith less clothez on. Zpain was vonderful. I am de face of Oil of Ole'”- she would go to air kiss Mia, smelling of a strange musky scent. (ahahaha) Summer took the chance to get the personal trainer, a bold Australian chap by the name of Wayne. Now, Wayne, was a ginger, with freckles but biceps to die for. “G’day, ‘ow ya goin? Name’s Wayne. You’re a right sort, luv. Let’s get you to the Boxing area, and I strap you up.”- <3>
*
RagingNEM: -Danyael would take Maggie’s hand to his surprise she had a firm grip something that he wasn’t used to from most women like her were all girly girlish and he hated that he wanted a woman that could pin his ass to the ground and make him beg her for more, he would look at the young girl and then over to Maggie.- ” Never know you might have served me a drink or two. ” -he would say as he over looked the menu seeing that they could make something he liked a banana and strawberry one.- ” I think i know what i am having what you having Maggie? ”
*
LadyBelz: Air kissing with Inga was a lesson in patience, especially since the woman seemed to be walking around in a cloud of something that smelled like it came from the ass-end of a dead camel. Mia had to practically hold her breath around her. “That’s great, Inga, about the ad campaign. I know you’ll do it wonderfully. Hey Kraus!” she greeted the man as he was filling in some kind of paperwork. “Still orange, I see?” she chuckled at the man. At that moment, a huge Australian man-cake strolled up to them, introducing himself as Wayne. ‘This must be the personal trainer.’ Mia thought to herself as she grabbed her bag. “See you guys later.” she said to Inga and Kraus, following Wayne to the boxing area. She dropped her duffle against the wall so it wouldn’t be in anyone’s way.
*
CharlotteCarrendar: – Neena continued to smile brightly, then went and put away some more slabs of cake, which was funny to see in a gym, but apparently the ladies of the aqua aerobics class, just loved lashings of creamy cake after their session with Buck. You could hear the chorus of old ladies, splashing about in the pool to the tune of Donna Summer’s Hot stuff, with Buck standing on the water’s edge doing movements, that had his muscles rippling. Nanna Noonie could be seen in a special floating device, right under Buck, and looking up with saucer shaped eyes. You had to hand it to Noonie, when she wanted a man, she wanted front row. ~splash Splash splash~ :: Seems Maggie had served Danyael a drink or two over at the DC and she punched his arm – “Hard to tell, ya fook. All the men I see at that place have either had a good hammer, or about to. Walking stiffs. Any ways, drinks. I think I try that…thung you said. Two banana nut capachinos, please?” Neena saluted and started making the drinks right away, and Maggie turned to face Danyael front on. “So what be ya story, Danyael? How you end up ‘ere in Prague?” :: In the gym area, where the boxing equipment was, Wayne was taking out the strapping and reached for Mia’s arms. “Right, you gotta have your hands tight in the straps before you put on the gloves, Luv. Okay. Now, once you got these red gloves on. I am going to take you over to the punching bag…and you..Yes you, are going to hit that thing, like its…I…I dunno, your ex boyfriend. Okay?”- he goes to hold the bag, ready to see how well Mia can punch. :: Kraus wandered on past Mia and her trainer, singing out. “Hey Mia…yeah, still having trouble with the fake tan…I am considering bleaching.” <3>
*
LadyBelz: Mia slammed her fists together and approached the bag, seeing the face of Yuri in front of her. She attacked the bag like a woman possessed, punching high and low, aiming for the points where she thought his face and dick were. Yuri’s face morphed into Andrei’s and she felt the rage take hold. Her focus was single-minded, her hits fierce in their intensity. When Andrei’s face morphed into Stefan’s, she executed a spin kick that would make Jean-Claude Van Damme look like a kitten, almost knocking Wayne off his feet. She even growled as she did so. One of her punches missed the bag, aiming straight for Wayne’s face…

RagingNEM: -Danyael payed little attention this time to the hit on his arm- ” Well i am on vacation and hadn’t been in a gym since I was a teenager playing well american football after that it was the marine core that kept me active, but i did my time left and well new job also kept me active but now with this rather ordered vacation by my new bosses I figured I would see the world was tossing a dart at the giant map of the world and this is where it hit, I saw the gym and figured this was a place I would like and boy I wasn’t wrong I mean your one of the most how do I Amazonian women I meet since i left the core back in o six and out spoken which honestly I know you heard this shit before but fuck it, sexy as hell -he would place his shirt back on thinking it best to cover up his scars didn’t want to raise any more undo attention- ” What’s your story ? ” -he would look at her then asked- ” I bet not many men are have balls enough to walk up to you let alone offer to buy you a drink ? ”

CharlotteCarrendar: – Damn, this girl was a demon on two legs. Most ladies, do light punches, or that is what normally happens in the boxing area. But Wayne must have said the trigger word. “Ex” It was like Mia had become possessed. She was hitting that bag so hard, it was making Wayne make some odd grunts, trying to hold it steady for the hell cat in Nike. But it was the spin kick, that had her shoe, connect with his nose. Poor bloke, went down like a sack of grain falling off the back of a road train. All the other people in the boxing area stopped what they were doing, as the trainer was out cold, with a blood nose. :: Neena had finished preparing the drinks, and placed it in front of them, swiping Maggie’s membership card, to add the cost of the drinks to it. Maggie was fascinated by Danyael’s story thus far, and went to blow the steam rising off her cup as she picked it up. Chuckling at how Danyael described the women there, she thought he was someone she wanted to get to know better. But now he wanted her story. “Me? I came to Prague…by..err..well, I fell for a right git…who ended up leaving me at some hotel…bill, the lot. Stranded. Then I got a job at the DC. I am a musician. I sing.” <3>

RagingNEM: -he would nod taken a sip from the hor drink letting it glide over his tongue- ” well I hope that you beat his brains in when you say him, why did you stop i am sure that the ” Firey Red Haired goddess ” isn’t afraid to tell her story to my short ass I am as about as mean as a kitten, yet the scars i am sure fool you, I for a time did things that honestly most people would look down on, like killing and making sure that women like you were ummm protected guess you could say now i am in the business of making sure people don’t do things that they aren’t to be doing. ” -he again would take another sip of his drink and look in to the tall Amazonian’s green eyes getting some what lost in them.-

LadyBelz: All action stopped as Wayne hit the floor, out cold, nose bloody. Mia stood over him, chest heaving, sweat pouring down her body as she stared at the man, a strange glint in her eye. She ripped off her gear, dropping it on the man’s chest. “Not so tough now, are you?” she smirked. Oblivious to the fact that everyone was now staring at the 5’7″ Amazonian hellcat in shocked silence, she grabbed her bag and calmly walked to the treadmills. She slipped on her ipod, set her speed and distance on one of the machines and began a moderately-paced run. The other patrons looked from Wayne to Mia then back to wayne. “Anyone going to help him?” someone suggested. Nobody moved.
*
CharlotteCarrendar: – The dull thuds as the boxing gloves landed or should I say bounced off the fallen trainer, was about the only sound heard in the entire gym, apart from a splashing Nanna Noonie, who was oogling Buck’s package by the pool. Damn those speedos don’t hide much. Summer came running into the boxing area and took one look at the fallen Wayne and then stared at Mia, who was walking off to the treadmills, her ipod on and not a care in the world. “Oh….oh my.” she said in a squeak, and everyone else in the gym, suddenly gave Mia a lot of room. Two body builders helped Wayne to the sick bay, while Inga was skipping out of the locker room, in her all too tight Hello Kitty aerobic fit. “KRAUS..come help me vith dhe dumb bellz!” – :: At the coffee shop, Maggie is chuckling at why she didn’t beat the guy’s brains out, and Maggie shrugged lightly. “I was backing singer. And his go to girl, I was such a dumb feek. Deserved it..huh?” -she admired Danyael for his candour, and asked. “I don’t mean to stare…call me a perv, but…the scars…you do street fighting?” <3>
*
LadyBelz: Mia, lost in her own thoughts, continued her exercises on her own. She needed some ideas on what to do about Andrei and Steven respectively. She valued her privacy and her life too much to let any man have control of her like Yuri had. Andrei was becoming a nuisance…while Steven was just a bald-faced liar, which she did not tolerate in any capacity. She cranked up the speed on her machine until she was running at a slight jog, her thoughts racing along with her. Out of the corner of her eye, a flash of bright pink caught her attention and she turned to see Inga and Kraus by the dumbbells Mia shook her head, wishing she had kept her sunglasses on. Between Inga’s bright pink outfit and Klaus’s citrus skin, Mia felt like she was going blind.

RagingNEM: -Danyael laughed- Your not a perv they are hazards of my job, the whole body is covered front and back and head to toe, and nope no one deserves to get hurt trust me when i was younger i got picked on alot, until i joined foot ball and well pretty much that stopped yet well it still happened and well when i came back from boot camp those that bullied me well they ended up like that poor pussy over there I don’t like bullies you could say and those that get picked on i tend to well pick back for them, then with this new job i am what how you could say this I am the person they call when your ass is so far deep in shit that you become shit itself he laughed knowing it was one of his more colourful catch phrases. But if i ever meet this guy friend of yours and your with me by all means could i have the pleasure of you beating his brains out ? and if he tries to hit you well lets walk over to the boxing area we’ll just have to step over the floor mat’s since Summer doesn’t know how to clean them up it looks like. ”

CharlotteCarrendar: – Outside the club, a black porche pulls up out in the car park, Opening the door, a brunette woman, wearing black ray bans and sporting a black nike tracksuit, tightly fitting and snug around her ass. She slammed the door of her car and pressed the lock. Smirking as she looked up at the massive billboard, that said “Nothing harder than Balls of Steel” – she took off her sunglasses, and strutted around to her boot, taking the sports bag out and shutting the lid down hard. Ayalah headed for the front doors, which opened with a slight hiss, and she immediately spotted those in the gym, that she had seen in her portfolios. Pursing her lips, tight like a cat’s anus, she strode on over to Josh, who was on the phone to the paramedics for Wayne the trainer. Placing her bag on the floor, Ayalah toyed with the bell, as Josh held up a finger and continued on the phone. “Yes…Prague University….can you send a team round. Got a trainer with a broken nose. Yup…Yup…see you soon.” he hung up the phone and placed a hand over the bell. “Yes Miss, can I help you?”- Ayalah tilted her head and showed her brightest smile, speaking in her rich Israeli accent. “I am…Mrs Flintstone…I believe you were expecting me.”- Josh broke out a huge grin, and showed her to his inner office. :: Over at the dumbbells Inga was picking up the smallest ones and commenting on them to Kraus. “I am so good…I do ten of these and….Oooo coffee shop has cake!”- :: At the coffee shop, Maggie was learning of Danyael’s past and all those scars. Course they were now joking about Summer, who was doing her darnedest to keep people away from Mia. “Free massages….anyone?” <3>

RagingNEM: -danyael would get a ring on his cell he looked at the number it was his job- Maggie please excuse me i have to take this call its important ” -he would say as he walked out side talking to who ever it was on the other end/-

LadyBelz: Exhausted, sore and in a better mood than she’d been in for days, Mia stepped off the treadmill, mopping up the sweat with a towel. She had decided on a course of action with the two men in her life and needed to get home to fulfill her plans. She tossed the towel into the bin reserved for them, grabbed up her bag and headed for the exit. As she passed Summer and Joel, she tossed a comment their way. “Nice place. Expect to see me again. Sorry about Wayne, though. I’ll make it up to him sometime.” And then she was out the door and gone.
*
CharlotteCarrendar:- Standing with Josh about to go into his office, the Israeli agent watched silently as Mia emerged from the gym and was making her way to the exit. The look on the Israeli’s face was one of amusement, on seeing the hot and blushing Mia take her leave, throwing a comment at the owner and his assistant. “Nice place. Expect to see me again. Sorry about Wayne, though. I’ll make it up to him sometime.” The doors would shush open then closed and Ayalah walked over towards the glass window, watching Mia heading for her car. “I’m sure you will.”- she said under her breath, then rounded and made a beeline for the office with Joel. “Now, about that membership. I want gold class. I want access to everything. And I mean…*she looks at the camera and winks*…everything.” -camera fades to black. <3>
