Forever Love (Fghter Club 1) Read online

  ‘Oh god James,’ she whispers.

  ‘Oh Alexia, you’re so fucking wet. I've missed you so much, I’ve never stopped loving you.'

  ‘Please James... Oh god that feels so good.’

  James bent down in front of her and she felt his tongue between her legs, she leant back on the desk and propped herself up on her right arm as her left hand gripped his hair. She was biting her lip to stop her moaning out loud. James continued to work his magic until she cried out, ‘Oh fuck James...god yes...I’m so close.’ He pulled away from her and she looked at him wide eyed. ‘What...No. Don’t stop,’ she whispered. He grinned at her and undid his trousers, he grabbed her hips and gazed into her eyes with heat and passion then slammed into her and fucked her hard and fast until she erupted around him making him erupt after her whilst covering her mouth with a kiss to stop her moaning out loud.

  Alexia fixed her hair and straightened her clothes as she looked up at him and anger took over her, it was more at herself but she aimed it at James.‘You know that doesn’t change anything James, you really are a piece of shit. After everything you did to me nine years ago, I really didn’t think you could stoop lower but becoming a loan shark, beating people who are struggling and then I come here today and find out you are married to that whore out there! You really have landed in the gutter!’ With that she stormed out leaving him. She ran out of the building and to her car again with Tracy running after her, as she reached her car she got in it and tried to calm herself down.

  Tracy got in the passenger seat, the look on Alexia’s face said it all and realising what had happened, her jaw hit the floor. ‘OMG Alexia, you had se.....’

  ‘DON’T!’ Alexia shouted holding up her hand, ‘don’t even say it.’ Tracy smiled at her. ‘Hell girlfriend, you had sex for the first time since having the twins....you should be dancing on top of the roof and shouting about it,’ she giggled. ‘Go girl! Oh and by the way you have a fantastic just fucked glow and messy hair.’

  Alexia groaned and drove back to her house to where Sarah was looking after the twins. Tracy practically jumped out the car when they got there and ran into the kitchen to find Sarah. ‘SARAH! GET THE KETTLE ON, WE HAVE GOSSIP,’ she shouted as they both entered the kitchen. Sarah took one look at the Alexia and pointed at her, ‘OH OH OH’ she said as she was unsure of what to say in front of the kids.

  ‘OH OH OH’ was what she was definitely saying, you’re right there Sarah,’ Tracy said with a big grin on her face.

  ‘Alexia had sex with the loan shark to pay off her dad’s debts and you’re never going to believe who it was.’

  ‘OMG, you didn’t!” She looked shocked and then smiled, ‘So tell me all.’

  Alexia looked at them. ‘Well......erm....it was James.’

  ‘James!’ Sarah screeched in shock and stared at her, ‘And how do you feel about that?

  ‘Well to say I’ve just had sex for the first time in nine years I feel amazing, fan-bloody-tastic, on top of the world. I forgot what I was missing.’ Alexia laughed, Tracy and Sarah laughed with her. ‘On the other hand,’ she said more seriously, ‘I’m really annoyed with myself, like I just want to punch myself for giving in so easily. Why would I do that?’ She looked confused, ‘I hate him! I hate him for what he did to me and the kids and now my dad, then I go and take one look at him and my head and body just goes to mush. What a fucking idiot I am.’

  ‘No you’re not Alexia,’ Tracy said. ‘You and James are perfect for each other, you’re meant to be, happily ever after and all that and unfortunately your body knows it too. Despite everything he’s done, he’s still the love of your life.’

  Alexia just stood and looked at Tracy and Sarah, “God I hate it when their right. God fucking damn that man!” She cursed herself in her mind then suddenly remembered there was more to tell them.

  ‘Oh there’s another thing, his two heavies are Matt and Sam.’

  The girls looked at each other and never said a word, because they couldn’t. Tracy was more shocked that she had been sat in the reception area and not seen them.

  James hit a button on his phone to call Sam and he answered using the hands free.

  ‘Yes boss?’

  ‘Get in here,’ James replied.

  ‘What got up your arse?’ Matt asked.

  ‘Just get in here,’ he said and then hung up.

  Matt and Sam entered the office and sat down at James’ desk looking at him expectantly.

  ‘So… what has got up your arse? Sam asked, 'OOOooooohhhhhhh’ He said with a smirk on his face. ‘By the looks of you, Alexia didn’t come here for a loan, to organise a fight and I doubt she was looking to get laid too but got it anyway.’

  ‘It just happened! Not that it’s any of your business!’ he snapped. ‘She came here because Tony Clay is her dad and she wanted to pay off his debt’

  ‘SHIT!’ Sam and Matt said together.

  ‘Yeah I’ve told her I would write it off and she didn’t need to pay.’

  ‘But she did pay! She fucked you!’ Sam said laughing, trying to lighten up his mood.

  James looked at him and threw his pen at him but he caught it. ‘Fuck off! I’m going to go get showered before my wife comes in here and sees me.’

  ‘Like you’d give a shit if she did. Alexia is the only girl for you man. Rachel is just a convenient fuck.’

  James looked and just nodded at them as he walked off to get showered. As he’s under the hot cascading water he closed his eyes and tried to come to terms with what has just happened in his office with Alexia. After nine years she comes storming in, screaming at him, catching him totally off guard. As if that’s not a big shock she then proceeds to tell him who her dad was. “Oh god, she already hates me for cheating on her, now she finds out I’m the reason her dads in hospital….she’s really going to despise me” he thought to himself. He can feel his breathing getting heavy as his anger builds up and he punched the wall, ‘GOD DAMN IT,’ he shouted at the top of his voice, not caring who heard… He leant his forehead up against the wall to calm himself down and his mind drifted off to the sex he’d just had with her on his desk. Since he got his office seven years ago he’d often imagined taking Alexia on his desk. She had and always would haunt his thoughts as she is the one for him. Rachel had always hinted about them having sex on the desk but he really couldn’t stand the thought of her being near her. A group of them had gone to Vegas and they had got married as a bet. When they came back James hit the big time with his fighting and she was very popular too so it became a marriage of convenience to them, they weren’t in love…well he wasn’t in love with her anyway. His mind then drifted to the god awful morning that Alexia had caught him and Rachel together…Him, Matt and Sam had gone to a party and got very drunk, they were always getting attention from women. Rachel was out with her friends at the same time when she saw them. She could see how drunk they were, so she offered to take them home, dropping Matt and Sam off first before taking James home but he was so drunk she had to help him inside and to his room. Rachel had always fancied James but knew him and Alexia were together so she never acted on it, until that night. She took advantage of his drunken state. As she got him on his bed and went to walk away he grabbed her, took her face and kissed her. Things got very heated between them very quickly and before he realised what was happening they were having sex. He suddenly stopped and pushed her off, as he did he looked up at the door and saw Alexia stood there in tears looking horrified. He jumped up off the bed but she ran off. He quickly found his trousers cursing and screaming at Rachel whilst he got dressed to run after Alexia but by the time he had got outside, she was nowhere to be seen. He ran all the way to her house and started banging on the door shouting for her but there was no answer, so he rang her phone and text her and got no reply from them either. The next morning he went to her house again where her mum answered the door and had talked him into giving her a few days to sort herself out but after two weeks of nothing he
went back to discover her gone…moved house…..out of his life….he’d lost her for good. Tracy and Sarah were none the wiser, or at least they weren’t telling him if they were.

  He snapped out of his memory to find himself sat on the floor of his shower crying, he took a deep breath and stood up, “I have to get her back!, I need to go find her and win her back. She stills loves me too I know it, that wasn’t just sex, that was pure love,” he thought to himself and got out the shower.

  The next day Alexia went to visit her dad, when she walked into his room he was sat up watching TV.

  ‘Hey baby girl, how you doing?’ he smiled.

  ‘Fine,’ she smiled, ‘So I sorted your loan out, he’s going to write it off.’

  ‘How did you manage that?’

  ‘Does it matter? They won’t be bothering you again.’

  ‘Yes it matters, how did you get round the most feared man in Manchester?’ Alexia looked down at the floor with guilt written all over her face and he knew straight away. ‘Oh Alexia, please tell me you didn’t! Oh you did....you had sex with him.’

  ‘DAD!’

  ‘Alexia, why?’

  ‘Because.......because he’s the twins father.....and I had a moment of weakness.’

  Tony sighed and looked down at the blankets covering him, ‘You don’t have to tell me about it honey, I understand. I know how much you love him still but he’s a dangerous man now, however saying that he must have it bad for you to if you survived going there.’ They just looked at each other not sure what to say next. Had James really changed that much? Alexia didn’t want to believe it.

  A week later Alexia checked her calendar:

  Friday 3rd February 2012 - going with the girls to look at dance studios!!

  Alexia grinned to herself, she couldn’t wait to fulfil her dreams of having her own dance studio. She picked up Tracy and Sarah after dropping Ben and Amber off at school and went to a local dance studio to have a look at it. As they got out the car they were greeted by a smartly dressed woman.

  ‘Good Morning Ladies, my name is Joanne and I’ll be showing you around today.’

  ‘Hi, I’m Alexia, I’m the one who’s looking to buy and these are my friends Tracy and Sarah who will be working for me.’ They said their hellos and started walking toward the door.

  ‘Now the current owner tells me that they have agreed to do a performance at the fight club two weeks on Friday and if the club like what they see there will be a meeting to discuss a nice healthy contract. The dancers will perform at four thirty for an hour and then the fight starts at 8:30 so this gives you plenty of time to get any persons that are underage out before the fight crowd starts packing the place out.’

  ‘OK,’ Alexia said, ‘which fight club is it?’

  ‘I believe it’s the “The South” fight club.’

  ‘OK Fab.’ Alexia said as they walked in.

  As they walked around the building, they were amazed. It really was worth every bit of the £1 million price tag. Not only did it have six separate studios, it also had a gym, swimming pool, it’s own theatre which was open to the public to come and watch shows, a bar and restaurant and attached on the side which could be either bought with the building or sold separately was a massive indoor children’s play area which held birthday parties. The furniture and equipment were certainly not cheap but Alexia got a really good vibe. Just as they were coming down from cloud nine, the agent took them upstairs to look around the part that was built for the purpose of the staff. This included a staff room, shower rooms, changing rooms, a meeting room and every member of staff had their own office which they had made personal to them. Alexia really liked that as she knew all too well that since you spend most of your life at work you have to be happy and it was little things like that helped. Then they followed the agent into what would be Alexia’s office and she nearly fell over, it was massive with floor to ceiling windows, a seating area, a meeting table, a kitchen, a bathroom and just outside there was two more offices that would be for Tracy and Sarah.

  Tracy and Sarah stood gobsmacked and without thinking Alexia blurted out, ‘I’ll take it, with the children’s play area as well, cash payment, I can have the money transferred ASAP, it’s sat there ready.’ The agent looked at her with a big grin on her face and Tracy and Sarah whipped their heads round to look at her in shock. They went to meet with the current owner to get things sorted and due to the fact that “money talks” as people say, everything was sorted there and then. They had called both lawyers on a conference call and the money was transferred that day. Alexia was going to be holding the keys in her hand a week on the following Monday. The girls drove home in a daze and as soon as they got inside Alexia’s house they went mad screaming and jumping up and down, they put some music on and went crazy.

  ‘OH MY GOD! I can’t believe I actually own a dance studio! Finally after years of struggling, thanks to my mother I finally have my dreams come true,’ Alexia said smiling.

  ‘Well there’s one piece of the puzzle missing,’ Tracy said.

  ‘What?’ Alexia looked at her.

  ‘A man! Not just any man….James.’ Alexia went to argue but Tracy jumped in first, ‘I mean if the past was different and you two had still been together, all your dreams would have come true today because you have your children, your house, your dad back in your life and now your dance studio. He is the missing piece. He is and always will be the love of your life. And after what happened with him in his office I think you’re going to see him a lot more because you’re going to be trying to avoid him. Just one of those things, the more you try to avoid someone, the more they pop up.

  ‘That’s what I’m afraid of now I’ve moved here. Him upsetting the kids and the fact that I just can’t get over him. He’s going to hurt me too. But I will cross that path when it comes, now how about we go shopping for shit food and lots of wine so we can celebrate?’

  ‘PERFECT!’ Tracy and Sarah shouted at the same time and they all laughed.

  *******************

  Alexia got the keys on time. She agreed with Tracy and Sarah that this was all about them learning everything they needed to know and got a list together of things they wanted to make their own which was actually quite small as it place worked just nicely. Alexia was glad for the distraction as she still couldn’t get James out of her mind.

  The second week they really focused on the up and coming show and everyone was feeling the pressure with knowing there could be a big contract in it. Tracy was sat on her computer and looking at the shows schedule for Friday night and froze as she saw nothing else but the words “Mike Hudson V James Taylor.” She slowly got up and walked over to Sarah and Alexia who were making a cup of coffee.

  ‘Hey, are you ok? You look like you going to pass out,’ Sarah said.

  ‘I think I am,’ she said in shock.

  ‘Why? What's the matter? Do I need to call the doctor?’ Sarah jumped up.

  ‘No no, nothing like that. Erm.....Alexia...you know the fight club we’re going to on Friday?’

  ‘Yes.’

  ‘One of the main event fighters is James.’

  Alexia froze and just stared at her friend “OH FUCK” she thought to herself.

  Friday evening they arrived at the fight club and Alexia was on edge, not only because James is there but because the kids are there too. She knew it was his own fault that he didn’t see them but every birthday they wished for him to come back to them, so the thought of them seeing him and getting their hopes up of him wanting to have anything to do with them, only for him to walk away and break their hearts was too unbearable to think about. Matt and Sam were doing their security checks when they saw Alexia walk in with Tracy and Sarah. Tracy and Matt and Sarah and Sam had dated at the same time as Alexia and James but with going to different universities they had to split up. They couldn’t avoid them as they were approaching.

  ‘Well hello ladies, long
time no see.’

  Alexia turned round and squealed in excitement and she threw her arms around both of them. Tracy and Sarah stood shocked and couldn’t take their eyes off them.

  Matt had long hair down to his shoulders and brown eyes. He had muscles that every woman dreamed of in a man and a toned torso under a tight t-shirt. Tracy was very impressed by her ex-boyfriend and was fixed on him like she was in some daze, as soon as his eyes met with her she felt butterflies in her stomach and her heart started racing.

  ‘OMG I haven’t seen you in ages....well apart from the other day, sorry about that,’ Alexia felt her face flush.

  ‘No no, no need to apologise, It’s nice someone can stand up to James other than us two,’ said Matt giving her a knowing smirk and she flushed even more. He then walked up to Tracy and ran a hand down her face to which she melted into. ‘And how have you been? Still as sexy as ever I see.’ For the first time in forever Tracy was speechless and after a few moments finally managed to speak

  ‘Thank you Matt, you’re looking very good yourself.’

  ‘Good?’ He said with his eyebrows raised, ‘I’m looking good? Oh Tracy baby, I know that’s not what you're thinking about me. The sexual arousal is pouring off you,’ he said with a smirk.
