Chapter 6: Monster is melting!
Deja's pov
I couldn't believe my ears...a whore??that's all what he thinks about me as. He was the first one to give me a chance to prove myself but he thought that am being a desperate whore to just be with him???
The day was hard to complete. I went home and just when i arrived my mom came hugging me saying,"Congratsss my love!!you got selected in college's boxing club finals!!!"
"Wait..what?????"
"Yes daughter,have a look!!"
Mom passed me the letter. It said Miss Deja,congratulations, you have been selected for the final selection of the club headed by Travis Havelock!!Your match is on upcoming sunday,gear up and practise for the seven days you are left with!!
I was surprised..just this morning i was a whore to him but he already considered me that meant he did find me good enough to be in his team..then why he said those things to me.....What are you doing Travis...

The sunday was as boring as it always was until i got a call. "Hello?"
"Dejaaa,Noah here!!!! Wassup??"
"Ohh Hii Noah..nothin just chillin,you tell!"
"Get ready am picking you up in 20 mins,we are going to club tonight!!!!"
"To be honest Noah am not in mood at all...Some other time"
"No way you are gonna miss the party hosted by the monsters!!!!"

Wait...that means Travis will also be there...I needed to confront him for those words...We needed to talk..
"Am up for it Noah!!"

The party was in its full swing but i couldn't found Travis anywhere..

"Little pig!! you are here too??"
"Naah Rhino you are just imagining me..! And don't call me pig again!!"
"Okayy pigiee!!!"
"ughhhhhh"
Tornado is always unbearable to me....and why the hell he calls me a pig..do i look like one?? I was just looking at myself when suddenly I heard..
"He is just messing with you!!Don't listen to him"
I turned out to find Travis standing so close behind me and my turn made that space vanish too...we were standing so close..the club was full with the crowd,suddenly i was pushed and i was about to fall when he hold me...I could smell his peefume..it was mesmerizing!!!
"Are you done smelling me?"
"What!!No I was not smelling you!!I was just...anyways Thankyou for helping!!"
I was about to leave when he hold my wrist,twirled me and pull me close through my waist..
"The music is on Deja! Leaving the dance floor like this is not good!"
My heartbeat was beating like anything...what the hell is happenening??
That's when I realised Travis was a little drunk!
"Am sorry Deja for whatever the fucking things i said you yesterday! But i really didn't mean any of those..I am sorry!"
"Just tell me this one thing!! Did you select me for thw club's final because you felt guilty of saying those words??"
"What??No way..the letters were delevered that very morning!!"
"That means you consider me good enough too be in your team??"
"Naah! I consider you worthy enough to fight the second guy we have selected...you were not the last to audition"
The song ended and he left the dance floor..
Ofcourse I went after him..
"The second guy?? Can you tell me something about him??"
"Although you are looking pretty today but am not gonna give you the info about your opponent!"
" You think am looking pretty??"
That's the 1st time I saw Travis blushing!!His blue eyes were sparkling!!He was really looking so handsome in that little drunk state of his!!
Suddenly he pushed me to the wall and closed my way to escape.
". Stop messing with me Dejaa!!!"
His glare was so full with anger that I shivered.
"Go away!!You wanted a chance to prove yourself so do practise.."
"Wait!!! You told you were sorry for saying those words!! I will consider your sorry only if you teach me boxing for these 7 days..you know am only aware with these basics..."
"And why do you think i will teach you??"
"See what's the fun if the competition is not equal and am the one giving you a chance to make amends so you should take this cha."
"Enough Cara!...I mean Deja..just..go away i will help you fine!! now leave me alone!"
He went away like wind..
Who is Cara?
When I reached home i got a message..
"Sharp at 7.08am tomorrow!!you choosed the hell for yourself!!"
7.08?? waoo what a time!!
Next morning I woke up and got ready.I didn't want to give Travis even a single chance to mock me!!
I reached his gym at 7 am only...I don't know why he called me here instead of the practise place!!
"I see you are in time!!"
"Woahh!! you are already here??"
" My practise starts sharp at 5 am!!"
Thats when i saw him,he was sweaty all worked up...his messy hairs! He was looking like...
"Snap out of your dreams and get on the trademill!"
Focus Deja focus!!
He made me do some exeecises and lifting weights and all...
After when I thought its over!!
"Now lets come to the main teaching part!!"
"What???what were we doin till now??"
"It was just a little workout babygirl"
I could see his smirk!! I knew he wanted me to be scared and leave but he forgot am Deja Whatson!!
"Am ready Sir!!"
"We will focus on the core first!! Always remember,the last thing you wanna show your opponent is that you are scared! We need confidence but obver confidence can get you in trouble...Lets start by seeing your full strength..get the gloves on!!
"Shoot!!"
I just did a puch when he stopped me.He corrected my angle of my legs..
"Most important thing is to be well attached with the floor,you don't wanna be knock out!!" Now show me what you have got!!"

It was a hard session!!

Travis Pov
She indeed has power to kick ass of many dudes but she needs a lot of practise!
"Well enough for today,same time tomorrow!"
I went to drink water when she came to me and suddenly hugged me!!
What the..
" Thankyou Travis for helping me out,I promise you I won't disappoint you"
I didn't know how to act in that situation so i just did a pat on her back!
"Shoot!! I have a class now,byee!!"
She is so bubbly and energetic,her determination to lear boxing just remids me of Cara!!I still can't believe i called her with that name yesterday..
Focus Travis,she is Deja,not Cara....she is gone..
I did a little more workout before heading off to my lectures..
"Travis,where have you been??"
"Ughh,Tauras i will be doing practise in the gym this week!! You are going to head the practise for this week for others!!"
"You sure man??"
"Yeahh!! I just need to work on myself!!"
I am sorry Tauras i can't tell you..
The day was hectic but I don't know why I was feeling joyful today..after a long time.
I headed back home!!I needed a hot shower!
The hot water calmede down that's when the the memory of me dancing with Deja came in..Her hazel eyes..Damn!!! Her smell,she smells like sweet strawberries! Nobody can ever know that this sweet girl is capable of fighting...
I found myself smilling in the mirror..
After Cara left...I thought am nothing more than a n empty person now..but this Deja..she made me smile!Huh!!
its good to feel that not everyone is scared of me. ughhhh enough thinking about Deja!! Dude what am i doing!! I should sleep now!
The upcomming week went really good,Deja developed her skills and she turned out pretty well!! Our small fights..her talking non stop..her smile..her dedication..i guess all this was awakening something inside me which was long back burried...
like the past was repeating itself!

The day came,the final match!
I should not say this but i wanted Deja to win...oh my god whats happening to me!!

"Why are you smilling Travis....am super neevous now,you are finding it funny huh??"
" Ofcourse babygirl,ha ha ha!! okay jokes apart now listen me carefully!! your defence is weak but you are agile...don't get too excited..choose your turn wisely,when to attack and when to defend!! You are a very strong girl and I know you can do this..this is your paasion you wanted to prove right..you have it now..show what a beast hou are to everyone!!!Now go,your name is called!! Have a blast in your life's first match!!"
"Yesss!!!"
She was going when she suddenly stopped..
"What happened Deja?"
She suddenly came back running to me and hugged me!
"Thankyou Trave for believing in me! Thankyou for everything you did!"
" I want you to win babygirl! if you wanna thank me just win this match!!"
" I will"
Her hazel eyes were glimmering with hope and determination.They were pretty not gonna lie!
She left for the ring and that was the first time after a long time i said
Take care of her God!
The last time i said,i lost a part of me,this time don't betray me..

The match was really hyped up because Deja was the 1st girl to compete. She was in full swing! That's when they announced the opponent's name..
"Blaze in the ring!!"
He looked a pretty tough guy,hope Deja can handle him..
But what shocked me is that Deja is standing like a ghost after seeing him...
i ran to her
"Deja..listen,don't worry you can beat him,listen Deja!!"
She was not listening me at all.
That when i heard blaze speaking,"Hii Dejaa! Long time no see".He was smirking like a devil and deja was standing there as if she has just seen a ghost standing begore her!
What in the world is happening??
