Charlie and Kory walked some watt achy up the stairs from Kory's basement. They'd had another unpleasant run in the some of the guys from the Pirates that day and unfortunately they'd been alone. A few of the guys had managed to keep Kory at bay while Ethan and Tim shoved Charlie around a bit and poured a milk shake down his pants. The worst of it though was the fact the Aspire boys had , had their hands all over Kory and she had the bruises on her chest and butt to prove it. It had been utterly humiliating to the Duck's Captain, especially the fact he'd been unable to protect his girlfriend. But Kory got the last laugh, after the four goons that were holding her back let her go she shattered Ethan's nose.
After a half hour of nagging Kory agreed to show his some basic self defense moves. They ran back to the dorms and changed into some work out closed and then set off to Kory's father's home gym, known as the torture chamber. There was exercise equipment down there that looked more like medieval punishment devices. As they emerged from the cellar for a drink they were both drenched with sweat.
"What do you want to drink? We've got soda, milk, mineral water and juice boxes..." Kory opened the refrigerator and looked over at Charlie as he hopped up on the counter.
The boy smiled impishly as the look she was giving him for sitting on the counter, lucky for him 'Major Dad' as Charlie had taken to calling his girlfriend's father and Mrs. Montel weren't home.
"Juice box sounds good."
Kory smiled and tossed him the juice box, giggling as he struggled to get it open. She walked closer to him and he spread his legs so she could stand between his knees. The girl took the juice from the boy's hand and inserted the straw with expert precision. Taking it back Charlie in turn squeezed the box to hard and squirted sticky purple liquid all over himself and Kory.
"Tasty." Charlie moaned sucking a droplet of juice from Kory's neck.
Kory laughed pushing back from him to get some paper towels.
"You did that on purpose." She put her hands on her hips good naturedly.
"You bet your ass I did. Grape juice, sweat and your skin great combo."
"Keeping in mind that I could kick your butt if I didn't want to be sucked on?"
Charlie rolled his eyes and got down from the counter with a scowl.
"Are you going to remind me of that constantly?" He snapped.
Kory bit her bottom lip, she could tell form the expression on the boy's face he was angry. And it was pretty obvious it was because of something she'd said, even it was unintentional. She hadn't meant to offend his, she had only been joking. Still she knew Charlie liked to be in control and in situations like the on they'd been in that afternoon made him feel less macho. Then having to rely on your girlfriend to teach you to fight, must have been insulting. His pride had been wounded.
"Are you mad at me Conway?"
The hockey player closed his eyes and leaned his head backwards against the kitchen wall. He realized he'd hurt Kory's feelings and it wasn't her fault she knew how to fight, she was raised deaf, in a military family, by an over protective father. But he was upset and he wasn't going to lie about it either.
"I just wish you'd let me forget about the fact that you have to keep me safe from those orange and purple ass-holes."
Kory nodded.
"Well I don't think you'll need me anymore after today. You beat the hell out of that dummy downstairs." She tried to sound supportive and positive.
Suddenly Charlie sparked back up again and ever cracked a joke.
"Thanks babe, I told you I'm a fast learner, I had a great coach though. Definitely the best looking one I've ever had. Well maybe not as good looking as Bombay."
The light haired girl sighed, men were such simple creatures, insult their egos once you'd think you'd committed a sin, inflate their egos and suddenly all is right with the world. She crossed the kitchen and wrapped her arms around his waist with a smirk.
"Glad you feel that way, but sweetie, you stink. Why don't you go home and take a shower? Meet me back here and I'll pay to rent some movies and order in Chinese."
The sweat from the work out was starting to settle and having stronger sense then the average person to begin with it was killing Kory's nose. However after narrowly avoiding a disaster seconds before the girl was trying to sound sweet and polite while telling him is funk was engulfing the kitchen.
"You're lucky I live next door, or else you'd be stuck with my rank BO all night." Kissing her cheek Charlie headed for the door. Just as his hand reached the knob it twisted from the other side and Kory's parents entered the house. He grinned sheepishly at her dad and sprinted into the front yard. He climbed the fence separating the two sets of property rather then wasting time going all the way around to use the gate. Kory just brought out the extra energy in him, well that and trying to get away form her father quickly. They had something special.
