Once Rose was back in Philly & situated at home she made a few phone calls. The next afternoon it was set. Rich, Matt & Julia would be meeting her at the boxing club on Broad street. She then headed down to help her mom finish making dinner. They were just finishing up when her father came in.
"Baby girl when did you get in?"
"Bout 3 hours ago."
"We weren't expecting you for another week."
"Well plans got changed, if it is a problem I can go to a hotel for a few days."
"Don't be silly Rosie; you know your father is only messing with you."
"I know." Moving to set the table they all sat down & began to eat, Rose filling them in on all the details except for the letter & the invasion of her dreams.
"Do you still have it?"
"Yes dad, but it is very minor now." Reaching up she carefully removed the choker. Folding it she placed it on the table, moving her head & hair to show them, at this point it looked to be barely more then a scratch. She then went back to eating. "I have 8 passes I can use if I wish…that is if you two wish to come?"
"We will both be there this time." This shocked Rose some. She had always asked her parents to come to shows that were near by. Normally she was told they would watch on TV, or only her father would come.
"You're really worried about me?"
"We worry every time you perform Baby Girl. That is the right of a parent."
"You will learn that some day I hope."
"Mom please don't start that again. You know how I feel about that."
"Have you even had a date since then? Have you even looked at another boy…sorry at your age I mean another man?"
"Mother….enough please." She then went back to eating; maybe if her mouth was full she wouldn't need to answer any more questions. After dinner she offered to do the dishes before heading down to the basement to work out. She wondered if her mother would ever learn not to bring up the subject of another boyfriend. Even if she was looking, who would want a girl that was never around?
Rose was already at the club working out on a weigh bag. Every few hits she would glance down at her watch. When would she learn to start telling her friends to be there an hour or so BEFORE she really wants them to show. If they didn't arrive soon she would lose any decent ring time.
A while later her three friends walk in looking around.
"Ok Matt don't tell us we actually beat her here?" Commented Rich who was about three years older then Rose. He was 6'5" looked on the thin side at first glance, but there was hidden strength & agility to that build.
"No way, she is always on the early side & we are…" Julia looks down at her watch "far from early if anything she left thinking we were not showing."
"No she is right over there." Matt pointed in the direction of the hanging bags. Most were being worked on by men. The other two looked in the direction Matt pointed.
"Dude all I see is a few dudes & a chick with a nice trunk."
"Dim wit raise your eyes above the trunk by almost a foot."
"God Rich I swear all you think about is T & A."
"Least I don't stare at yours Julia." Rich looked back at the bags raising his eyes upward till he saw what was holding the woman's hair in a braid. It was a thick leather cord attached to it was a few black feathers. "Dude no way you are telling me that fine thick tail belongs to Rose."
"Yah….Dude I am. She pulled a lot off over the last couple years." Rich looked her up & down from a distance, then squinted his eyes as if trying to study something.
"GOD DAMN….that is her." Almost the whole place fell silent at his yelling. A tall well built black man walked towards them with a 'you're dead' type look.
"you don't watch your lip boy you will need to leave." Rose heard them, how could she miss it. Turning she walked over towards them patting the big guys arm.
"Sorry bout that Joe, these the guys I was waiting for."
"For your sake they can stay…which one is the guinea pig?" Joe almost chuckled cracking a smile a few teeth missing.
"Don't know yet…come on Joe get so I can get to work." The man nodded walking away.
"Wow…"
"Yes Rich it is me…but my face is higher. Yes I know you need to look down at me…but you don't need to look that low." Julia smirks jabbing an elbow into Rich's ribs the best she can as she is a foot shorter then he is.
"Busted."
"Come on Joe is lending me the room in the back" She turned heading off all three following after her. Once in the back she slid into the ring. "Ok who wants to give me a warm up?"
"Warm up? What we get out of it?"
"Front row seats to the Havoc."
"Tease…"
"Yep, now come on the work out will be good for you as well." Rose said almost taunting them.
