Chapter 8: Training and More Bad News

It's been five days since my pictures and video got leaked. I keep receiving hate comments on my Instagram. When I go out people look at with disgusting looks. I wish I could wake up and still be at the lake.

Hazel called me and she was angry. She wanted to feed Jason to the sharks. She also wanted to come before Christmas. I told her that it wasn't necessary. Even though I miss her, wasting a ticket for a few days of drama wasn't worth it.

There was a knock on my door. I went to open it and it was Jerry. "What are you doing here?"

"Just came to say I'm sorry for being a dick. And also to see how you were doing with everything that happened 5 days ago?"

"I'm not okay. And thank you." I answered. "If that's all, I want to be alone. Lance and I are about to have a date night. Feel free to tell the world that too. Wouldn't surprise me if you did." With that said I closed the door.

"I don't recall having a date night with you, Miss Anderson." He said in a sexy tone.

"I had to tell him that cause he had all the intentions of getting back with me. Not gonna happen. Once a cheater always a cheater. Now let's watch a movie, future hubby." I told him before walking away. He just shook his head. I love messing with him.

Although shit has happened, Lance always cheers me up. He's a great friend and hot roommate. I decided not to pay attention to people when they say hateful things. It's best if I just stay home for a while. I hope this scandal goes away.

Later that day, I received the worst news in the world.

"You can't. Please, I've already finished the book. You can't just do this cause of a damn scandal." I was crying.

"I'm sorry, Sophia. No one wants to read your books now that you've become a pornstar. That's what they say at least. I can't keep publishing your books." With that said she left.

I let a loud scream and destroyed everything in my path. Lance came running and stopped me from destroying my house more.

"Destroying won't fix this. You have to calm down." He said as he grabbed my face. I was still crying. I had a good thing going on and it's destroyed in seconds.

"I can't keep doing this. I can't. I'm tired." I buried my face on his chest. He wrapped his arms around me. I felt safe in his embrace. This wasn't professional at all. But right now, I needed this hug. I was so lost right now.

Two weeks went by. I was still on the news everywhere. I decided not to tell anyone about me being fired. I didn't need for them to take pity on me.

I went to the backyard and saw him training. He was shirtless. The sweat running down made him look so sexy. He was tan, I wish I could trace my fingers on his body. I need to focus.

"Good morning Miss Anderson. I'll be done in 5 minutes." He said as he punched the punching bag.

"That's fine. I love the view from here. Keep training." I smirked. Actually, maybe I should train to release all my anger on that punching bag.

"Lance, can you train me. I have so much anger inside me. I need to release it. Either that or the house will get destroyed again."

"Smashing things won't make you feel better. You'll regret destroying your house later. So I'll train you. Just go get change and I'll have everything ready." I nodded and then went to my bedroom to get changed.

Once I was ready I went outside again. "I'm ready. I want to pretend that punching bag is Eleanor. She fired me and deserves a punch. And then Jason, Jerry and so many more." He just chuckled.

"Very well." He stood behind me and grabbed my arms to indicate me how to punch. His touch sent shivers down my spine. It's no secret I desire him.

Once I got the hang of it I punched and punched till I couldn't punch anymore. I was huffing after it. I was so damn angry.

"Now let's train and leave that punching bag to breathe." He said causing me to laugh.

He told me to come after him and try to fight him. That's what I did. Except he ended up pinning me on the floor.

"Bad move. Never let your guard down just cause you think you won. Rule number one, expect the unexpected." He told me while still pinning me down.

"I like this pose. We can stay like this all day." I gave him a sexy yet devilish smirk.

"Not even in your wildest dreams, miss Anderson." He replied before getting up. "I think we're done for the day with the training." He said before leaving.

"Looking forward to more training." I said to myself before heading inside.

"Are you always this flirty?" He asked as I sat on the stool watching him make a green shake.

"Am I? I just figured it was just me being friendly." I grinned. He just shook his head.

"Be professional, Miss Anderson." With that said he left the kitchen and went upstairs.

I just sighed. This man is one hard nut to crack. But one that I will crack one day. Is it bad that I desire him?
