LOUIS

Aaron gives me a wide berth. I’m not dressed for a complete workout. I’ll have to head back upstairs eventually, but I’m not ready to go and face Tulip, yet. I punch the bag in front of me, until I’m too fucking exhausted to do it anymore. I need to get some shorts and shoes on.

My sparring partner, Shawn, is relaxing on the sofa watching television as he waits for me. Aaron grunts and walks away, leaving me alone with him. I don’t talk to him, usually I’m too busy trying to beat the shit out of the quick motherfucker.

“You ever done something in your sleep and felt like shit the next day?” I ask.

Shawn shifts his gaze from the television to me and blinks. “You talkin’ to me?” he asks.

Nodding, I lift my hand and run my palm over my head to collect the sweat there and wipe it down the side of my sweats. It’s too fucking hot in here for these sweatpants. I really need to get my ass upstairs and change, but she’s there, waiting.

“Yeah, I have. Punched my girl right in the fucking face. Gave her a black eye. I was dreaming.” He shrugs.

“How’d you get over that?”

Shawn tilts his head to the side, his eyes roaming over mine and he lifts a shoulder. “I just did. She wasn’t mad at me once she figured out I was sleeping. She forgave me and I allowed her to. It wasn’t easy, knowing that I’d hurt her even if I didn’t do it intentionally. I punished myself a fuck’ve a lot for it.”

“How’d you sleep next to her again?”

He snorts. “I didn’t, not for a couple of nights. Then she just fucking slipped into the guest room next to me. Woke me up and I asked her what the fuck she was doin’. She told me that she couldn’t sleep without me there. Don’t know, but I keep waiting for the shit to break loose again, it hasn’t, and I haven’t hit her since.”

“So, just sitting around fucking hoping you don’t do it again?” I ask.

Nodding, he runs his hand down his face. “Yeah, basically. Tried to go to counseling about it, but all they wanted to do was talk about my feelings and prescribe me pills. Neither worked out too well, so if I’m really tired or agitated, I’ll try and sleep on the couch. She usually don’t let me though.”

“That doesn’t help me at all,” I mumble.

Chuckling, he lifts his chin as he stands behind me. “It’s all I got for you. Give me a ring when you’re ready to rumble.”

Without another word, he walks past me and out of my gym area. I don’t turn my head to look behind me. There’s someone there and I don’t have to see them to feel exactly who has entered the space. I hear the door close and then the lock being flipped into place.

Inhaling a deep breath, I feel two arms wrap around my waist and a cool cheek press to the center of my back.
