Shit that hurts.
Okay, point 1 I need to work on where to place my head.
My grip softens around her a little, making her pull away from my grip and turn around.
As soon as she turns, I punch her in her jaw that immediately starts to reden.
After that one I keep throwing a few more punches, than I turn my body while giving her a kick in the stomach makes her fall to the ground.
I kick her on a very painful place on her stomach making her shuffle a little further on the ground, but make sure that she would heal from the pain within a few days.
She groans in pain but quickly gets a hold of herself, "if you need to stop, it's okay" I say in a whisper so only she can hear.
She doesn't answer, I instead she sits up quickly while trying to deliver one more punch.
I dodge her hand again but now wrap it around her own throat while gently squeezing her airway close but making sure that it wouldn't harm her later on.
Around 20 seconds go by with her struggling and eventually she taps my arm 3 times to signal me to stop.
Immediately I release the hold on her as she coughs a little. When I know she's okay and breathing well, I help her up and give her a respectful nod while helping her out of the ring, onto a chair.
I give her an ice pack from the freezer that's in this room since a lot of accident happen here.
She accepts it before we part ways.
I walk back downstairs when the pain in my nose kicks in.
Crap.
On my way towards the kitchen I touch my nose when I feel liquid drop on my lips.
Blood I can taste it.
Just to be sure that I'm right, I look back down at my fingertips.
Yep, blood. I touch the liquid between my thump middle and pointing fingers before dropping my hand at my side when I walk inside the kitchen.
Of course, my whole family is in here. Because why wouldn't they be.
Xavier is eating from the food that mom is making while my mom keeps trying to stop him.
My dad and Allesandro are both working on their laptops while Elijah is working on some papers from what looks like to be the hospital.
Xander, Blake and Roman are all talking about I don't even know.
While Lorenzo and Antonio are on their phones.
Our kitchen in one of the biggest rooms in the whole house so even with all these people inside, it looks far from filled.
When I walk in some heads snap in my direction, including Elijah's.
As soon as he sees my blood covered face and hands he walks too me.
"What happened?" He asks shocked while removing himself from his chair.
More heads snap in my direction but nobody comments other then Elijah.
"Training" I tell him while jumping on the counter and sitting on it.
I grab some paper towel from where mom is cooking and gently press it on my nose.
I hiss a little when I feel a throbbing feeling start when I place the sheet on my nose.
Elijah walks up too me with an emergency kit in his hands that was placed under the sink.
"You know how to hold your head, sorella" Elijah says while handing me a new sheet of paper when he sees that the other one completely turned red from my blood.
I sit up straight and tip my head slightly forward so I wouldn't swallow the blood.
Elijah takes one hand of mine in his and starts cleaning my knuckles.
Most were just slightly bruised but on some fingers the skin broke.
When I was boxing I didn't really wrap my hand so my hands are probably so bruised because of that.
"You know you don't have to do this right." I tell him honestly.
"Yeah but if I don't do it, would you?" He asks
I don't answer which proves his point, "exactly" he says, "and I don't mind doing it" he than continues before releasing my hand and taking my other.
I give him a small smile before Blake asks, "did you win?"
"Yeah, she just got one punch in the face when I wasn't paying attention to where my head was supposed to go" I say.
He nod his head, "well, I guess you need to practice more hand to hand combat fighting again" he states.
"Yeah, every week I need to fight at least 5 hand to hand combat fights to prevent it from happening again. You're welcome to join me, Blake" I say.
"Waking up at 5, are you out of your mind?...I'll train at a decent hour with you" he says before returning to his conversation with Xander.
I smile and nod while turning back to my hands, to now see all my knuckles taken care of.
I give Elijah a hug while saying that I'll clean the supplies up as a thank you.
He reluctantly agrees before going back to his work.
I turn to Roman and hug him when he opens his arms.
I let out a yawn feeling exhausted.
Roman rubs my back a little while I draw some circles on his neck.
He pulls me more towards him so we're closer until again Xander just has to open his mouth, "okay, that was enough. Now...don't" he says while pointing at Roman and me.
I roll my eyes which he catches on accident, "Valentina, it is not because of you are 16 that the tickle monster doesn't exist anymore huh. So be careful next time" he says wiggling his fingers.
So what do I do....
I roll them again.
....now that was a big mistake.
The second I did that, he ran up too me and started tickling me.
I laugh while tears emerge in my eyes from the agony.
I hate being tickled, I kicked Xavier in the jaw once when he did it. It was an accident and I didn't mean for it to happen but it just did, he never tickled me again after that.
"X-Xander st-op" I cry out laughing wildly.
"No"
"B-but..please" I laugh out a tear falling.
"If you tell me that I'm the best brother in the world and say that you'll try and show less of...that there is a small chance that I could stop" he says smirking.
"F-fine..I'll try t-to stop showing in front of y-you" I laugh out loud.
"Good, now what am I?" He asks
"Annoying" I mutter under my breath, but most hear anyway.
"You little shit" he mutters while tickling harder.
"Okay-..Okay..Okay. You are an amazing brother Xan" I say.
"Oh why thank you bambina, you didn't have to say that." He says flattered while stopping with tickling.
I look at him with a small glare which he ignores before mom tells us to set up the dining room.
