Last Bit of Connection

With or Without Him

After that day,I didn't heard anything about Leon.Now I'm wrapping my hands readying for the boxing,and memorizing every move.My hands feel numb when it's packed together plus the hot weather that the summer brings.I entered the ring and practiced light punches.Every punch feels like a wind trying to break through something that's hard.Even if it's just a training,I want to learn how to do boxing and use it for a lifetime.After some punches,I noticed an aura that's coming near the ring and I knew it's my coach.

          Try to punch the punching bags Stell.

I went out the ring and breathed before I punched the bag that my coach was holding.Her face was empty,like she didn't feel any power from me.From her reaction,every punch I would give contains a heavy power that I gained from the previous practices.

           Stronger!Stronger Stell!

I think I'm at my limit but I must not stop,I want consistency on myself.Every punch gives me a bucket of sweats and I close my eyes Everytime the sun rays dazzle my eyes from the window.

           Breath.Now,the speed ball.Here's a pattern.

She taught me the punching pattern and I did as she told.But why is it different?The ball will always come back to me,and that's discouraging me to punch stronger.

           It's all about speed Stell.Not stronger,just have a calm pace.

After the speed ball,I was on my knees and was breathing hard.On the contrary,this is fun and also raises my spirit.After the training,I came out from the building with a denim coat covering my boxing attire.I called a cab.

           Are there any library here sir?

The cab driver looked at the rear mirror with a confusion in his eyes,and from that,I paid the cab and stopped Infront a jewelry shop.The temptation hit me when I saw the sparkling bracelets.I was eager to buy one of those,so I entered the shop and greeted seller.

          Good morning!

          Good morning ma'am;

She can speak English!!From My happiness,I jumped and laughed like a crazy woman.When the seller cleared her throat,that's when I stop.

          I'm sorry.Okay.I'll have this please.

I pointed a bracelet with a feather.Featger is a light object that when it's above the surface,it always find a ground to land.Feather represents the word humble,that's why I like it.I paid using my card and thanked her for her service.

           Wait.Can I ask if there is a library here?

          It's far from here,but there's a bookshop across the road.

So the cab driver understood me after all,I guess?I left the store and carefully crossed the road.I grabbed a cart after entering the book shop and searched for an Italian dictionary and magazines.What I'm doing now,feels like a scene from a movie,maybe a Disney movie.

          Tangled.

I smirked and continued my way towards the cashier.I was satisfied with my actions and cheerfully exited the shop.Right on time,my manager called me.

         Stell,where are you?

         I'm outside a bookshop across a jewelry shop.

         I'll fetch you there.

I decided to put my mind some thoughts.I realized that if Leon's away from me,I'm a good girl who does her job and smile like endless but sometimes it's lonely.Maybe that's why I go crazy when he's here beside me because he kick my loneliness away.After what happened to us,I concluded it was not love.It's surely is lust.I know it's bad but I'm lonely.I think  being lonely can kill you.Or being hungry of attention can make you crazy.My manager came and I remained silent through the ride.I entered my room and saw the curtains were open revealing the nice weather.Not only that I noticed,it also smells pasta.Suspicious mind I got,I grabbed a broomstick from the shelf and scampered towards the kitchen.

            Leon?I want to hit you with this!

I exclaimed when I saw him cooking a pasta.I put my bag beside the table and cleaned the table.After,he served the pasta and both of us took a sit.

            So Stell,having fun here in Italy?

            Yeah.I'm loving boxing.

            And?

           You.

I savored the pasta and waited him to eat with me.While eating,I felt something on my leg.

           What are your plans after lunch Stell?

           Uhm..Reading.

Leon was tracing my legs with his shoes,so I decided to eat fast.He continued doing that and stopped when I stood up and placed my plate at the sink.

           Stell,why don't we have a shopping? 

I came close to him and showed him my new bought bracelet.

           I just bought this.

           I can buy you many more.

          I'm alright with this.

Leon stood Infront me,smelling good with his sauvage perfume.I stepped back and laughed.

           I should wash the plates.

I turned my back to him and started to wash the plates,when suddenly,he cornered me by his arms.I rolled my eyes and faced him.

           What do you want Leon?

           Come with me later.At the club.

           I want to learn Italian.

           Then come with me.

           I'm not coming.

I turned back to washing the plates,then he suddenly forced me to face him and touched my thin waist.

           My decision is final Leon.

He pushed me upward and let me sit beside the sink.I closed my eyes and covered my face with my both hands.Why is he like this?

          Looks like your not gonna stop.Okay.I'm coming.

He broke his grip and I finished washing the plates.After,I took a bath and changed into a party dress.A rose gold upper crop top and a rose gold square pants.I went out the my room and called Leon.

         Leon.What do you think?

        Do you have to reveal your cleavage and your thin waist?

        It's a club right?

        It's too tempting for me.

I laughed sarcastically and lead the way to the elevator.I looked at myself Infront the mirror and I look gorgeous. I am a beautiful woman,a great sense of high voltage about me.I am dressed in a party outfit  black high-heeled pumps. Around my throat there is a leopard-patterned scarf also my skin is very pale, and that looks good with a black sunglasses.I looked at Leon while he was humming.

        I wanna do something here.

I stepped back when I heard that and he stood beside me,but I pushed him away.

        Okay.

He put his arms around my waist and smiled at me.
