"Put it there."
I said to the delivery guys showing them where to put the new refrigerator I bought for the gym.
When I left home I decided to skip gym and go refrigerator shopping instead and then to the grocery store.
I look at the time seeing it was 10:30, I still have an hour and a half to prepare lunch so I decided to pack the refrigerator with the drinks I bought at the grocery store.

"What are you up to?"
Ryan asked entering the gym with Joe.

"Im getting my hair done."
I said looking up at Ryan rolling my eyes.

"One day those eyes off yours are going to fall off your head."
Ryan said grabbing a Gatorade.

"I have to admit Aluna, I totally forgot about adding a refrigerator to the gym. Thanks."
Joe said.

"Yeah and a boxing ring, what are you going to do drive every day to the gym to put in some work?"
I asked getting up, giving Ryan back is keys.

"Not exactly,"
Joe said gesturing me to follow him to the backyard.
My eyes widened as I saw a ring in the backyard.

"Isn't that a dream off yours when you were a little girl?"
"When Aluna was a little girl she always used to draw a dream house,"
"It was situated at the beach with as boxing ring in the backyard."
Joe said looking at Ryan.

"Is this enough to encourage you to step back into the ring?"
Joe asked looking at me.

"No,"
"I'm not stepping back into the ring or even touching it."
I said shaking my head taking a deep breath.

"I'm going to get started on lunch."
I said before walking away.

Ryan POV

I watch as Joe took a deep breath with a sad disappointed look on his face watching as Luna make her way back into the house.

"Why doesn't she want to step back into the ring?"
"The last night I asked her why did she stop boxing and she told me she doesn't want to talk about it."
I said taking a seat next to Joe.

"When Aluna was younger boxing was her life, she spent every second in the gym training,"
"she was a year away from turning pro."
"She demolished every opponent she had in sparing."
"but apparently sparring wasn't enough for her she got herself caught up in some sort off illegal underground boxing."
"My brother who is her father got word off it forbidden her from taking part,"
"But off course Aluna being her rebellious self didn't listen."
"On her 16 birthday she managed to sneak out to take part in some big match she had that night."
"I remember my brother calling me telling me she was missing and him and her mother was going out to look for her."
"Aluna mother and father got into a horrific accident that night loosing their lives."
"Aluna blamed herself for their deaths, she said her obsession for boxing was the cause for the lost off her parents."
"Right after their funeral she moved to Paris and promised herself that she will never step foot in a ring ever again."
"The 15th off this month will be 9 years since their death and also her 25 birthday."
Joe said looking at me taking a deep breath.
After hearing her story, it explained why she had that wall up,
she had literally been trough hell, losing both her parents at a young age and in top off everything blaming herself for it.
I made my way into the house walking to the kitchen taking a seat by the counter.
Her back was facing me so she didn't know I was there,
I listened as she softly hummed while chopping vegetables, I don't know why but since the day I laid eyes on her she caught my attention.

"What the fuck!"
She said getting startled when she turned around seeing me sitting there.

"Ouch!"
She said looking down to her feet.

"What's wrong?"
I asked getting up.

"I think I stabbed my foot,"
She said crouching down.

"How on earth did you stab your foot?"
I said walking around the counter towards her.

"I dropped the knife when you startled me."
She said pulling out the knife that was stuck to her shoe.
I watched in panic as she took out her shoe revealing a bloody foot.

Aluna POV

"Oh my god Aluna I'm so sorry,"
He said picking me up bridal style placing me on the kitchen counter putting my foot inside the sink turning on the water.

"Ryan!"
"We are getting blood all over the sink,"
I said laughing because off how scared he was by a little stab wound.

"we need to get you to a doctor."
He said digging in his pocket pulling out his keys.

"Dude, just chill the fuck out and hand me the first aid kid in that draw."
I said pointing to the draw laughing.

"What is wrong with you?"
"Why are you laughing?"
"You are literally bleeding to death."
he said looking at me pissed getting the kit handing it to me.

"I'm not bleeding anymore it's a little wound look,"
I said pointing to the top of my foot.

"Oh."
He said taking a deep breath realizing it wasn't that bad.

"I told you it's not that bad."
I said looking at him as he opened the first aid kit putting some alcohol in a cotton ball then placing it on the wound making me flinch a little.

"All done,"
He said putting a bandage over the wound looking at me smiling.
I returned the smile noticing a piece of cotton stuck on his chin.

"There's something on your face."
I said reaching my hand towards his face as he leaned closer towards me so I can remove it.

"All done"
I said looking at him, which was a bad idea because his eyes were leveled to mines,
I instantly got lost in it not even realizing how close we were.
I slowly watched as his gaze went from my eyes down to my lips,
suddenly we heard footsteps and chattering approaching snapping us back to reality.

"Is everything okay?"
Joe asked entering the kitchen with Henry and Sean.

"Yeah I just accidentally dropped a knife on my foot stabbed it."
"But everything is okay thanks to doctor Ryan."
I said patting Ryan on the shoulder as he helped me down the counter.

"Yeah but I think you should rest don't put pressure on the foot it might get hurt and bleed again."
Ryan said.

"Yeah you should rest take the day off we will order something to eat for lunch and dinner."
Joe said.

"Ok fine, but noting unhealthy."
I said walking out the kitchen limping a little.

"You need help getting up the stairs?"
Ryan asked.

"No I'm good."
I said giving him the thumbs up as I struggle to walk up the stairs.

"For god sake."
Ryan said walking over to me picking me up trowing me over his shoulder proceeding to walk up the stairs.

"I can walk."
I said hitting him on his back as Joe, Henry and Sean look on with smiles on their faces.

"Their you go."
He said putting me on the bed as I folded my arms looking at him pissed.

"Fix that face off yours, if I hadn't helped you,"
"you would of still been in the third the step."
He said rolling his eyes at me mimicking me.

"Have a good day Luna,"
he said walking towards the door.

"It's Aluna to you."
I said raising my voice.

"Bye Luna!"
He shouted closing the door before a could reply to him.
Making me laugh shaking my head.
