New story time including my favorite boxer Tommy"the duke"Morrison or as he's known in Rocky V Tommy Gunn. I feel like this guy can't catch a break from the haters so I decided to write a good story about him and his path to redeem himself maybe include a love interest. Anyways enjoy.
Tommy Gunn sat at a bar in philly wallowing away at his mistakes, he had downed 4 shots of yagerbombs and was about to ask for a 5th until the barkeep spoke up
"What's got you acting like this?" the man behind the bar asked he was probably 50 years old, but he held kind eyes and had a big white mustache to accentuate his age.
Tommy didn't look up from the bar but spoke "Well..long story short I'm the biggest idiot ever and that's all I really wanna say right now" he said solemnly
"Hey not prying, just making sure you won't hurt yourself tonight" The bartender said finally "But..Here's your last one bud" He added sliding one my shot towards Tommy
"Thank you" was Tommy's short reply before he downed it really quick
Tommy Gunn was a larger guy standing at 6'2 and weighing around 220lbs, Accompanied by his handsome boyish face. He was a former heavyweight champion, he was trained by one of the greatest heavyweights to step in the ring Rocky Balboa. All was great for Tommy as he climbed the ranks of the heavyweight contenders. But he felt like he would never get a shot at the title if he stayed with Balboa. Therefore he teamed up with boxing promoter, George Washington Duke.
Which was a fools choice, Duke was greedy, conniving and manipulative. He got into Tommys head and convinced him that Rocky was only in it for the money and didn't want Tommy to be better than him. That however was the furthest thing from the truth, and it took until now for Tom to realize that...all when it was too late.
Tommy put his hands in his face, he almost felt like crying but couldn't bring himself to do so. He was too tough for that, his upbringing really calloused him, with an abusive drunk father who would beat on him and his mom, it really makes you into a different person, sometimes not for the better.
Tommy just sat there unmoving until he felt a small hand gently rub his back. He looked up to see a woman looking at him, though she held a face of concern.
"Are you ok?" she asked genuinely still rubbing his back in more of a comforting way
"Yeah I'm alright I guess, definitely drank a little too much" He said looking at her giving a slight reassuring grin
"I can see that haha" she said as she looked at the five big empty shot glasses in front of him "You look like you had rough night" she said as she pointed to the bruises on his handsome features.
"Rough?Haha that's one word for it"he said humorously
The woman smiled at that one
Tommy couldn't help but notice how gorgeous the girl was she had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes but what stood out most about her were her thick and dark but perfectly shaped eyebrows (literally just imagine cara delevigne)
Tommy heard the bells on the door jingle and noticed two men walking in one was a smaller guy and the other was a guy probably a little taller than tommy with a beard on his face he was burly but mainly from just being fat. He then noticed the woman cast him another quick smile before quickly grabbing the three beers in front of her and hustling towards the men.
"There you are where the fuck have you been?" said the burly man grabbing her and bringing her in for a quick makeout session before they finally broke, she then handed each man a beer and they all made their way to booth a ways down.
"Careful my friend that's Johnsons girl and he's pretty dangerous" Piped up the bartender
Tommy just looked at him and asked "What do you mean?"
"Well he isn't right in the head and I can't help but feel bad for Candace, she's a sweetheart, and i heard he treats her like trash" Said the barkeep getting an annoyed tone "One time he beat a poor guy near to death..all because he took too long in the bathroom, he scares a lot of my customers away I can't stand him" The barkeep finished
"Her names Candace you said?" asked Tommy
"Boy is that all you heard?" said the barkeep with an undertone of humor
Tommy looked over at their booth and noticed the girl now identified as Candace would pass him glances and smiled gently. Which he sent one right back
"Well its getting late, I'm gonna head home before I pass out here" Tommy said before standing up
"Alrighty bud I'm sure I'll see you again, get home safe though...oh and call me Al if you want" Al said with a smirk
"Will do, thank you very much" said Tommy before making his way to the door
Once Tommy grabbed the door handle he looked at Candace once more only to see that she was looking at him again he sent her one more smile before he walked out which she returned
