Slowly my flat started looking more like a home and it slowly became a place you would actually invite parents back to. I hadn't spoken to my parents since a couple of days before graduation, but I kept in contact with Adam's parents occasionally. They told me Adam was doing great at uni and everything was going well with them. To start with Mrs Copeland rang me every week but with me working two jobs and training it soon became hard to contact me so she rang once a month and usually left a message on my machine for me to ring her back.
I would ring her back whenever I got a spare moment, which was usually late at night and at least a week after she rang. One time I asked why she bothered ringing, as I'm never there to answer. She replied by saying that she was missing her boys and she rang Adam as well, it let us know that she was still there for us whenever we needed her. I soon found myself able to confide in Mrs Copeland in away I had never done before. I told her everything about Denise, work, the Dungeon and even found myself admitting that I was missing Adam. For a change I felt totally comfortable confiding in the woman who had taken me in, occasionally I even found myself crying when things were just getting too tough. Then I realised something, slowly Mrs Copeland stopped giving her updates on Adam, and when I asked how he was going she would say,
"Oh you know our Adam, he's doing this and that too busy to stand still," and then she would change the subject.
Occasionally I would speak to Mr Copeland but usually he was at work or asleep when I rang. The times that I did speak to Mr Copeland it was all based on the same thing, work and training. Once he asked when I was coming home to which I laughed and told him I was home. I think that hurt him slightly but it was the truth, I felt really at home in my little run down flat with my wonderful girlfriend.
When Denise first moved in she stayed in the spare room, as we didn't want to tempt ourselves into a sexual relationship. But one night after a fight with her father she climbed into bed with me and after crying for hours she fell asleep in my arms, she then stayed in my room ever since. Though I can quiet proudly say we managed to refrain from making love to each other, we didn't want our relationship to turn into purely physical based.
Then things changed pretty dramatically, to mark me being at the dungeon for a year Stu offered me work as an assistant doing his dirty work but it paid better than my two other jobs combined and held the possibility of me moving up into trainer status. Then Denise moved in with me much to the dismay of her family. But even though they were important events in my life, things only really changed when Stu received a new student at the Dungeon.
I was training with my opponent for Sunday's show when the new student walked in. At first I didn't pay much attention, except I noticed that this guy had long black hair and looked close to my age. After noticing this I turned back to my opponent to continue working out our match. A few minutes later Stu walked over and called me out of the ring,
"Hey Reso you've got a spare room at your place right?" He asked quietly,
"Yea, though it's still got some of Dee's gear in it. Why?"
"This new kid needs a place to stay, I can't think of anyone else with a spare room"
"Sure, no problem." I said heading back to the ring. Then Stu call out a name I recognised and spun around causing myself to fall off the ring apron. I stood up and looked again at the guy Stu just called over. I cleared my now dry throat and whispered,
"Adam?"
A/N: Yea I know its short!
