Ryan POV

"I think you should come in before you catch a cold."
She shouted over the loud rain holding the door open for me.
I nodded entering the cafe as the rain began pouring down heavily.

"Have a seat, I'll get you a towel."
she said heading into a room in the back.
I took a seat at the counter grabbing a napkin drying my face.

"Here you go."
she said trowing a towel at me before walking back into the room that I now believe is the kitchen.
After probably 5 minutes she came back with a cup in her hand placing it in front of me, A smile instantly came to my face when realized it was hot chocolate.
I took a sip taking a deep breath as the hot cocoa poured down my throat, the last time I had this was when Aluna herself made it for me.
We got soaked in the rain also that time.

"God this is good."
I said looking at her.

"If that's good then what are you going to say about this?"
She said placing a slice of chocolate cake in front of me.


"Are you trying to bribe be?"
I asked looking up at her as I dug into the cake which was heavenly.

"Well they say a way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
She said looking at me as she took a sip off her tea.

"Is that's why Dario is so obsess over you?"
"Bringing you roses at the gym,"
"buying turkey sandwich every day for the past two months?"

"Dario and I have nothing going on,"
She said looking at me dead in the eyes.

"So you go on date with people who you have nothing going on with?"
I said returning the gaze.

"How do you know that I went on a date with Dario?"
She asked raising her eyebrows.

"I have my source."

"So how's Joe?"
She asked changing the subject.

"I don't know I haven't spoken to him since the fight."
"I have a new coach now."

"Who?"
She asked looking up at me.

"Dereck James."

"That is a good move,"
"Joe wasn't the right coach for you but Dereck in the other hand, he is gonna turn you into a monster and he is a no nonsense coach."
"Once you follow his guidance you are gonna run through that 140 devision with ease."
She said looking at me smiling.

"I'm actually thinking about moving to Texas where Derick lives you know to make things easier with my training because I'm going to fight in December."

"That's a good move, get away from the distractions in LA."
She said.

"May I ask you something?"
I said making her look at me worried.

"I know I told you that I don't want your apology and I still mean that but I do want to know why?"
"I understand you left because what Joe told you but why did you leave so suddenly without saying anything to me?"
"I understand you were pissed at Joe and probably Theo for hanging out with Gabby."
"But i don't nothing to you, You could off come to me instead off leaving."

"I was angry and confused in that moment,"
"I needed space, time on my own to think."
"I needed to leave."
"I knew if I'd come to you I wouldn't been able to leave.
"You were the only thing...."

Suddenly we were interrupted by a knock on the door.
I watch as she got up walking to the door opening it.

"What the hell are you doing it's pouring outside!"
I heard her shouted.
I watch as she movie aside revealing Elias who was standing there soaking wet.

"I was worried, I needed to know if you were okay!"
He argued back with her as he slowly made his way into the cafe.

"Elias you are 65 years old what if you fell and break a hip or something?"
She argued closing the door following him.

"Thank you for bringing her bag to her you are truly a gentleman."
Elias said taking a seat next to me.

"No problem."
I said looking at him smiling.

"You see Selene not all men are ass as you would always say."
"they are a few good ones out there."
He said looking at Aluna as she got him a towel.

"She is probably talking about her ex."
I said looking at Elias.

"Ryan!"
She said giving me a look.

"Oh I have some tea for you about Theo,"
I said looking at her grinning.

"I know."
She said cutting me off.

"How do you know?"
I asked looking at her confused because she said she had no connection with anyone when she left.

"It's a long story, I will tell you about it later."
She said looking at me rolling her eyes.

"I guess you never got rid of that signature eye roll off yours."
I said looking at her smiling.

"Yep one day her eyes are gonna fall out of her head."
Elias said making me laugh because I always used to tell her the same thing.

"Yes she has a feisty way to her."
I said looking at her as she got Elias a slice off cake.

"You appear to know Selene very well?"
"And I somehow feel like I have seen your face before have you visited here before?"
Elias asked.

"I have visited Greece before but not this place this is my first time here."
I said.

"Oh I remember, I know why I find you so familiar,
You're the......"

"Here you go, the cold weather is gonna drop your blood sugar."
Aluna said putting a piece of cake in Elias mouth.

"Yum this cake taste extra delicious today,"
Elias said chewing totally forgetting what he was gonna say.

"Ryan don't you think you should call Sean and let him know where you are?"
Aluna said giving me her phone before taking my plate.

"And you, do not speak while you're eating,
you might choke."
She said looking at Elias before heading back into the kitchen.
