Chapter 3 Fighting for You 3

Justin

We barely make it to the back of the house when she already pushes me against the wall, kissing me, and soon slides down with a clear destination. I love when she opens the buttons of my jeans and takes my cock, already putting it in her mouth. Someone missed it.

I even smile now and close my eyes as she takes me deep. I sigh when she pulls it out of her mouth and runs her tongue along the entire length to the tip.

But scenes of Ethan Hopkins and me on the mat invade my mind. I try to push it away and focus on Carrie Ashford’s soft lips. I remember him underneath me, his half-closed eyes, his mouth slightly open...

What the fuck!

I say to Carrie:

“Baby, baby…”

Already gently pushing her away from me and she looks at me confused. I say:

“It’s not gonna happen.”

She looks at me and says:

“Intense training week again?”

I nod affirmatively. And she says:

“I hate that. It always takes your focus away from other things.”

She stands up, looks me in the eyes, and says in a naughty way:

“Let me know when you’re done.”

I smile at her.

But what the fuck just happened to me?

Ethan

"Alright, that’s it for today!"

The coach yells and we are all dismissed. Justin walks over to me. He really hasn't told anyone about what happened yet because I don't see anyone looking at me differently, and believe me, I’ve been paying close attention to everyone around me. He tells me:

"You're sleeping at my house tonight."

I swear I expected anything in the world but that. I laugh, but he still looks at me seriously, so I get serious again. I look around, most of my teammates are already heading towards the locker room, and I say quietly:

"I can't do that."

He says:

"Not only can you, but you will."

I just stare at him, not knowing what to say, and he speaks up:

"Take care of your sister and then come over to my place when your mother gets home, I'll text you my address."

I'm still thinking it over when he adds:

"Look, we're going to have intense training sessions this week, starting tomorrow. I don't want a repeat of what happened the other day, okay?"

Now that makes more sense. I nod my head in agreement.

I spend the whole afternoon thinking about it. Sleeping at Justin's house... I had never thought about that in my entire life. It’s the most random thing that has ever happened to me, after what happened between us.

The strange thing is that he isn't acting the same way with me as before. He’s much more flexible during training at least I got something good out of this whole unfortunate story.

"I'm sleeping at a friend's house."

My mother looks at me smiling and asks:

"Who?"

I don't blame her, I never do this, it's a surprise even to me. I reply:

"That guy who was here the other day, Justin. He helps the coach train our judo class."

She says:

"Oh, that's great, honey! He seems like good company for you. Call me if you need anything, alright?"

I nod my head in agreement. She asks:

"Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"No, his house is just two blocks from here, I'll just walk."

....

Now here I am on my way to his house with my backpack on my shoulders, wondering if this is really a good idea. But I can't refuse his offer; after all, he kept what happened between us a secret and I feel like I owe him somehow. As soon as I arrive, I knock on the door and he answers. It's already getting dark.

He asks me to come in, his mother is in the living room and I greet her. She smiles and greets me back, telling me to make myself at home I guess he must have told her I was coming. He asks me to follow him and we head upstairs. I'm not at all comfortable here, but I'll try. He opens the bedroom door and we walk in. There are two beds, and he says:

"I used to share this room with my brother Max, who is away at college. You can take his bed."

I put my backpack on the bed and look around: lots of trophies and banners. I keep looking and he says:

"Some of them are Max's."

Then he adds:

"Our family has a history in sports."

He doesn't say this with any genuine joy, but I'm not going to question his reasons. I then turn to him and say:

"I wanted to thank you."

He asks:

"For what?"

"For not turning me in to the coach or spreading what happened around school."

He just stares at me, but takes a deep breath and says:

"Forget about it. It's fine. Let's just focus on our judo team, which is doing well."

I nod my head. He says:

"Here's the deal: my mom should be leaving for her hospital shift soon. I invited a girl I'm seeing over and we're going to stay downstairs in the living room. You can make yourself comfortable up here."

When he says that last part, I can easily picture what he wants me to do. I even feel a bit awkward, but that's the whole point of me being here. So I just say:

"Alright."

He says:

"Make yourself at home."

Justin

I close the door behind me. I truly hope he sorts things out in there, because that's the only way I'll be able to get this out of my head and be able to spar with him again to teach him the moves he needs to learn. I open the front door; if things didn't work out with Carrie, I can try with Sophie.

She arrives smiling and kisses me right at the door. We go to the living room to watch a movie. She always comes over when my mom is on call, and we never actually watch any movie. And I really hope today is no different.
