Chapter 1

Drake "Heat" Johnson was an average guy who had a dream. His dream was to be a professional MMA fighter ever since he was a kid. He is now 21. He graduated from Florida State University. He's been kick boxing but hasnt been the kick boxer he dreamt to be. Its been long since hes one a match.  He hopes to improve some day to live up to his dream and become the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

It was 6:00am. I woke up early. As i was taking a shower i thought to myself about how great it would be get to even compete in the Heavyweight Championship fight. I had feeling that i could get it. Ive been working real hard lately. Im thinking about joining that gym up the street as well and getting a new trainer. Everything was changing for me.

i got into my car and headed to the gym. When i walked in, there were a ton of guys bigger than me.  I knew i had step my game up. I walked to the front desk. There was a pretty lady there. The most beautiful women ive seen in years. "How may i help you?"the women said. "Hi my name is Drake and i would like to sign up for a private trainer here. I'd like it if you could find me one of your best. I'm sure you're used to knowing whats best because of your looks."i said sweetly. "Ahh thanks! Ill get Jeff."she told me. I sat there waiting. Then a guy who was muscular and bulk who looked like he was on steriods came out. "Hey are you Drake?" he asked. I nodded and shook his hand. "I would like to get bigger and improve my kick boxing. Im thinking about joining the UFC and competing for the spot for the Heavyweight Championship but i need a trainer that can get me there."i told him.

He smiled. "Hell yeah ill get you there! But you have to be up for it. No slacking, showing up late, and you must take a 5 mile run every moring."he said. My jaw dropped once i heard the 5 mile thing. He kept blabbing about how hard it will be but all i could think about was dying of tiredness from the running and how beautiful the women at the front desk was. "Show up tommorow at 5 o clock sharp!" he yelled. My mind was somewhere else no noticing how early that was. I walked over to the girl again. "I forgot to get your name?" i said. "Im sorry i dont date fighters."she said. "Whats wrong with fighters?"i asked. "Well i was in this relationship with a UFC fighter and things go out of hand one night and he got to abusive. I ended up calling the cops. Then that was the end of me ever dating a fighter." she told me. "Well what makes you think we are all like that." i asked. I could tell she knew i had a point. "Well i guess your right about that. The names Mindy. Mindy Peterson. I dont go out for dinner on the first date. Id like to go for coffee to find out what im getting myself into." she said. I smiled. "Smart girl, smart girl!" i said. I gave her my number. "Duncans Coffee at 4:45am before we both get here tommorow?" i asked. "Sounds like a plan. See you there!"she said as she gave me her number.

I couldnt help but smile as i walked out the gym and got into my car. Oddly when i turned on the radio i heard the song "Doctor Love" come one. I couldnt help but sing along.

When i arrived home i got out jumping and swinging on the street light. I walked up the steps to my apartment. I unlocked the door. Walking in i was still singing the "Doctor Love" song. Suddenly the phone rang. "Hey dude you got to come party down at Club Vibe tonight i heard the baddest chicks will be there."said my friend Jason. "No dude i cant, i got to get up early to go to the gym."i told him. "Sounds to me like theres a girl involved. Come on dude its just a couple drinks and a little bit of dancing." he said. "I cant dude maybe another time." i said. "Dude well be back before 11. I promise!" he said. I gave in and agreed.
