Where We Belong novel (Ava and Blaze) Book 1 novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142

"Left right then the knee. Keep it coming Ava I want it faster" Theo yelled

I felt sick.

I was soaking with sweat and I had been here for over 2 hours. Theo was working me to the bone today.

"Two knees one after the other. Left right knee knee got it? Keep hitting those pads. Tony you let me know if she's slacking". He chuckled which made me his the hand pads Tony was wearing harder.

"She definitely ain't slacking" Tony laughed as I punched his hand one more time before I collapsed onto the ground.

"I think I'm dying" I breathed grasping my water bottle. I never knew I was so unfit. Gulping down my water I threw some over my face in an attempt to cool off. "Seriously it burns" I moaned holding a hand against my chest. The shit he had me doing was one hell of a work out.

"He's just getting started" Tony chuckled as he held his hand out for me "Wait until he has you doing sit ups and push ups".

My face immediately fell but I was ready for it. I needed someone to push me, I needed something to keep my mind busy and if that meant sweating my ass off in a gym for hours then that's exactly what I was going to do.

I felt good.

"This is the easy stuff Ava, enjoy it while it lasts" He grinned

"Go home kid you've earned an early finish" Theo  called before disappearing through a door at the back.

Truth was I didn't want to go home especially when I had nothing to go home to.

"You did good today Ava but remember and take a day off. It's good to relax the body don't hit it too hard".

"I won't" I smile lifting myself off the floor "Holy crap I can't remember the last time I was this sore"

"Go home get an early night".

That's exactly what I didn't want to do. "Hey what are you doing tonight?" I asked

"Got a date" He grinned checking his watch "Like in 30 minutes shit I gotta go Ava I'll see you in a few days".

Gathering my stuff together I made my way to my car. Guess I couldn't put off facing my mom any longer.

.....

The house was quiet when I arrived but the sounds coming from my brother told me she was about somewhere.

"Francis is that.... Ava?"

There she stood the strong beautiful woman that raised me. "Now I know how I pull of sweatpants" I grinned as she threw herself at me. "I've missed you A".

"Missed you to mom how's Leighton?" I asked pulling out of her embrace.

"He's a little under the weather but he's good. He's so much like you" She grinned as I picked my little brother up from his crib.

"We both seem to have dads eyes I wonder if he'll have your attitude too" I smiled not being able to look away from him. "How have you been mom?" I asked getting comfortable on the couch.
