Chapter 4: Now I Know How You're Losing The Weight.
Bruce was in his sauna suit and was about to begin his run home when Ollie pulled up on his Motorcycle.
"Hey Bruce!" He called out.
"Ollie, what are you doing here?" Bruce asked.
"I'm gonna pace you. You know, help you prepare for the monster." He answered.
"Oh shit, i forgot about that."
"What?" Ollie scoffed. "How could you forget something like that? How could you think about anything else?"
Bruce checked the time and realized Alfred probably wouldn't be home at this time. He knew this was his chance to have some alone time with Selina. "Hey look, how about you give me a ride home on your bike?" Bruce got on the back seat. "I'm kinda in a hurry to get home.
"Riding a bike, doesn't burn off weight. This isn't the way to beat Slade." Ollie said upset.
"I know that." Bruce replied. "It's just for tonight alright? We'll make it up tomorrow."
"Alright, just this once. But tomorrow i'm busting your ass wide open." Ollie revved up his bike and headed for Bruce's house.
Oliie pulled up at the front door of the house. Bruce gave him a pat on the back as he dismounted. "Thanks for the ride Ollie. See you tomorrow."
"Hey, i could go for a beer." Ollie said.
"There's no beer inside. Alfred doesn't let me drink."
"I could go for coffee then."
Bruce hesitantly agreed. "Alright, a quick cup of coffee." Ollie followed him inside. "Just keep it down. We have someone staying with us." They walked inside.
"Hey man, i've been asking about Slade. That son of a bitch is defiantly tougher than he was last year."
"Oh yea? Where'd you here that?"
"Listen, when he pins a guy now, his own coach has to keep him from biting the poor kids throat out. That's what i hear."
Bruce got the coffee maker ready. "How do you like it?" He asked.
"Strong man. Really strong and black. Like my women." Ollie answered and laughed as he looked a Bruce. Bruce was frozen like a statue as he looked over near the kitchen entrance. Ollie followed his gaze to see Selina walk in. She was wearing one of Bruce's dress shirts that hung over her like a small robe. And that's all she was wearing. They both stood there motionless.
"Hey boys." She said as she opened up the fridge and grabbed a yogurt.
"So uh Selina." Bruce stuttered. "How was your day?" He asked. Ollie tapped Bruce on the shoulder trying to get him to introduce him to her.
"Kinda boring. I've just been kinda tired lately." She answered.
Ollie kept tapping Bruce's shoulder. "Yea, well while Alfred's out, i was thinking maybe we could..."
"Nah, not tonight. I'm kinda on my, you know, time."
"Oh, okay. Nevermind."
Selina turned and walked out. "See ya boys."
Ollie cleared his throat loudly. Bruce finally got the message. "Oh Selina, this is Ollie." Bruce said.
"Hey, how ya doing?" Ollie said trying to act smooth.
Selina stared at him blankly and walked off.
Ollie clinched up against and Bruce and started horse playing. "Ah shit man! Now i know how you're losing the weight!
Bruce pushed Ollie off as he saw Selina walk back in. "Hey. Again." Bruce said nervously.
She rolled her eyes at him. "I forgot a spoon." Bruce reached back without taking his eyes off her and grabbed a spoon. She took it and gave him a small smile. "Thanks. Night Bruce and... Bruce's friend." She walked off again.
Ollie nearly collapsed into Bruce. "So, that's your girl?"
"Yea... That's my girl, alright." Bruce answered with a grin.
Bruce's alarm waked him up at 6:15 in the morning. He didn't hit snooze, he went straight for the off switch and got out of bed. He had been training his body to function fully on little sleep. The lamp nearly blinded him as he switched it on. He then got his phone, and played his rock playlist starting with "Woman" By Wolfmother. Bruce rolled out of bed, started doing some push ups, sit ups, and pull ups to start the day.
After he had a good sweat going, he checked himself on the scale before he showered. He was at 189. Still had a ways to go.
Bruce and Selina arrived at school only to be greeted by Floyd. "So how long as this whole, playing house thing been going on?" He asked.
"Goddammit Ollie." Bruce groaned to himself knowing Ollie was running his loose lips again.
"Hey Waylon it's true. Bruce is giving her the big one!" Floyd said.
Waylon walked up to Bruce and puffed out his broad chest. "How is he giving her the big one if i ain't lending him my cock?" He said as he eye'd Selina and winked at her.
Selina rolled her eyes disgusted by him.
"How about lending me you're nose. I'll blow up the whole state." Bruce replied.
Clark walked up next to Bruce and tried to calm him down. "He's just acting like a tough guy. Don't let him get to you."
"Oh i'll give you and your bitch something to blow." Waylon got in Bruce's face.
"First you gotta find it, airhead." Bruce taunted back.
"I'm not waiting for Slade to kill you anymore. I'm taking you now." Waylon growled as he shoved Bruce hard.
"You need to stop." Bruce warned.
"Oh, yea?" Waylon shoved him again. "Or else what?"
"This is your only warning. I can't let you get close." Bruce got in a fighting stance.
"Why are you being such a bitch?" Waylon shoved him again.
Bruce shot a double leg and took him down. "I can't let you get close." He growled. They both rolled around on the ground and wailed on each other.
"Guys stop it!" Selina shouted as she tried to separate them. Some of the wrestlers and other students grabbed them and separated them too.
"Come on asshole! Come on!" Waylon shouted as Floyd and some of the other wrestlers held him back.
"You're all talk!" Bruce shouted back as Clark and Selina held him back.
Coach Al Ghul came rushing in. "Hey, save it for the opponents you guys!" He shouted as he placed himself between them.
"He is the opponent coach!" Waylon growled.
"I said save it!" Coach yelled. He looked at both of them. "You boys have to much energy. I want to see you both before practice. Now get to homeroom!" He looked at all the students looking on. "Okay, let's break it up!" Everyone walked off.
Selina took Bruce's hand and held it tightly. "I wouldn't worry about that guy. I know his type. He's just a big jerk who's sad about his own dick size." Bruce looked at her. "But you don't have that problem at all." She kissed his cheek. He gave her a small smile and gave her hand a squeeze.
