Alicia : How long will you be teaching me?
Ruben : I'd say another four to six months.
Alicia : That long?!
Ruben : Long? It took me six years to become a professional MMA fighter.
Alicia : Six years of training?!
Ruben : Yes
Alicia : That's an even longer time.
Ruben : You still have a lot to learn.
Edwin : Good morning people!
Ruben : Oh what the fuck? You didn't tell me you were coming!
Edwin : Oh...well....surprise!!
Ruben : -facepalm-
Edwin : And who's this pretty lady?
Alicia : -smile-
Ruben : This is Alicia Fields. Alicia meet my annoying little brother, Edwin.
Alicia : Nice to meet you!
Edwin : Ah the pleasure is all mine! I see you left Andrea for this one. Good choice man!
Ruben : I didn't.
Edwin : Oh so this beauty is single? Is that what I'm hearing?
Alicia : Very single.
Edwin : I happen to be single too. Alicia : Ahhhh
Ruben : Let me warn you. Edwin here flirts with anyone who wears a skirt. He doesn't take women seriously.
Edwin : Hey don't bullshit talk about me brother! I'm right here!
Ruben : I'm just warning her.
Alicia : Don't worry I'm not looking for a man. I'm enjoying my single life.
Ruben : How long are you staying here?
Edwin : Until after the gala.
Ruben : Cool
Alicia : Where do you live?
Edwin : New York!
Alicia : Oh the big apple!
Edwin : Yep
Ruben : He's a lawyer.
Alicia : Oh wow!
Edwin : If you ever need some defending. Count on me!
Ruben : Unless you need physical defending I'm the go to. Not him! He can't fight for shit.
Edwin : Hey hey you're making me look weak man!
Alicia : -laugh- Anyway I should go I have some things to do.
Edwin : Can you add me to your to do list?
Ruben : Can you stop flirting for one second?!
Alicia : -laugh- Leave him alone!

Alicia : Anyway- Goodbye guys! I'll see you tomorrow Ruben.
Edwin : And me!
Alicia : We'll see!

Ruben : You're so annoying!
Edwin : She's cute eh! But what happened with Andrea?
Ruben : She cheated on me with Price.
Edwin : Damn for real?
Ruben : Mhm
Edwin : At least you moved on. Alicia is so much better.
Ruben : Alicia and I are just friends.
Edwin : You sure? I sense something more.
Ruben : Nothing is going on between us.
Edwin : One day?
Ruben : I don't see myself in a relationship again. Not now at least..
Edwin : You good though? After the Andrea thing?
Ruben : I'm still healing but I'll be fine.
Edwin : Want my opinion?
Ruben : Even if I don't you're still gonna give it to me.
Edwin : That's true!
Ruben : Well?
Edwin : I think Alicia is good for you. She looks sincere and she's awesome from the looks of it.
Ruben : She really is awesome. I don't want to get involved with her though. I like our friendship and I'm too fucked up right now. I can't commit and I don't want to lead her on. She deserves better.
Edwin : Then be better for her!
Ruben : Let's get you unpacked.
Edwin : Bet!

Alicia
I went back to my apartment to shower and change. After that I gathered all my things and moved them to my new apartment. Luckily the apartment is furnished so all I needed to bring were my clothes and other belongings.

It took me about three hours to move everything. After I finished I went for some food and some very much needed iced coffee.

Alicia : Iced vanilla latte please.
Jackson : Hello again!
Alicia : Oh hey!
Jackson : Alicia right?
Alicia : Yes sir!
Jackson : Join me?
Alicia : Sure!

Alicia
I grabbed my coffee and sat down with Jackson.

Jackson : Only coffee?
Alicia : Yeah I'll get food elsewhere.
Jackson : What's your favorite food?
Alicia : Italian
Jackson : Oh I know this really good Italian place-
Alicia : Italy Kitchen? Yeah I've been there many times before.
Jackson : What do you say I take you?
Alicia : Right now?
Jackson : Sure
Alicia : Are you sure your fiancée won't have a problem?
Jackson : Fiancée?
Alicia : I know you're engaged to Andrea Carlson.
Jackson : Oh yeah but don't worry about her.
