Chapter 5

The bed was empty. Aden’s initial burst of disappointment melted away when he caught sight of the clock. He’d slept later than he’d done in ages. With only a few short days until Remy’s title bout, he couldn’t hang around all day waiting for Aden to get up and moving. The second thing Aden’s gaze landed upon had Aden’s mouth pulling into a bright smile. There was a photo of Remy’s face taped to the pillow. His eyes were closed as if he was still sleeping next to Aden. Aden couldn’t hold back his laughter. He hopped from the bed, needing to get to No Rival so he could see the real thing again.

In the bathroom, Aden’s steps faltered, and a chuckle escaped him. A picture of Remy brushing his teeth was taped to the mirror above the sink. Aden couldn’t stop staring at the picture while he brushed his teeth. His cheeks ached from the happiness. God, he’d missed all of Remy’s hijinks. Throughout the apartment, Aden stumbled across several more pictures of Remy doing mundane things. Aden left them where he found them and went in search of more. At the dining room table, he found a plate of food waiting for him and another image. This time, Remy’s face sat perched against the chair opposite of Aden’s food. Aden sat and enjoyed his muffins and fruit while staring at an image of Remy eating a banana. Underneath Remy’s face, Remy had scrawled Aden a note in Sharpie. “Paper Pete made you breakfast.” Aden snorted for the third time as he re-read the note. Jesus, his life had been so empty without Remy.

He considered jogging to No Rival, so he could run back with Remy at the end of the day. In the end, the need to see Remy as quickly as possible won out. As he punched the code in to get inside No Rival, he wondered if Drew would kick him back out again. It wasn’t as if he had any right to be there beyond the man’s good graces. When he cleared the doorway, he spotted Drew sitting behind his desk. He glanced up at Aden’s arrival.

“Aden,” Drew called out, stopping Aden before he could go in search of Remy. “Can I talk to you for a minute before you take over my training schedule for the day?”

Aden flushed as he moved to join Drew. “Sorry if I’m overstepping. Training men to win is in my blood.”

Drew waved off Aden’s apology. “Actually, I was being serious. If you plan to hang around, I’ll put you to work.”

In his surprise, Aden dipped his chin, unsure if Drew was testing him. “I’m all right with it if you are. After all, it’s not as if I’m paying to be here like everyone else. I may as well earn my keep for the next few days while I’m here, working with Remy.”

“Don’t worry over Remy,” Drew said, clearing off his desk and not meeting Aden’s gaze. “He’s paired with Rhys today.
