Kalila arrived back at work feeling a bit better. She had a good place to sleep and it wasn't in a cheap motel. She smiled at Don as she passed him on her way to the women's changing rooms. Jax was early and it concerned her quite a bit. Why was he here so early? From what she's seen of him, he does in fact work out. It's not like he's trying to get in shape using martial arts because he's already in good physical condition. She changed quickly and grabbed a couple bottles of water before heading to her designated room.

"Good afternoon." She heard the blond haired, blue eyed man say as she entered the room

"Afternoon." She stated as she set her bottles down by her towels

"I know I'm early." Jax stated

"It's ok." She simply replied as she stood up

"So what's the plan?" Jax questioned, moving further into the room

"Well I need to get you caught up to what I've already taught the rest of the class. Warm-ups and stretches are vital. The last thing you want to do is pull something or twist the wrong way. Continuously straining or pulling muscles can lead to long term damage." She explained

"We don't want that." Jax replied, "So how long have you been practicing martial arts?"

"Officially about 8 years or so." She told him

Eight years? How the fuck old was this woman? When and how did she actually get into martial arts in the first place? The woman before him couldn't be over 21! He watched as she moved away from him but stood directly in front of him giving several feet of space between them. Was she afraid of him? Did she know about the club? Jax's own suspicions were starting to rise.

With a deep breath, she explained the first warm-up and showed him how to do it. She watched him as he did it to make sure he did them properly. She led him through another 10 minutes worth of warm-ups before beginning the basic moves. She explained how to do each one and then showed him each of them. When Jax didn't do them right, she showed him again. She tried to keep her distance from him.

She knew, although he was quite fit and obviously worked out, that it would take a few more private lessons to really get him to where the other students were. He was doing pretty good. Jax was trying to find a way in. She was keeping him at arms' length, as the saying goes, and it wasn't lost on him. She was definitely paranoid. Their hour was nearly up so she started the stretching to end the session. He was just surprised that their hour was up.

She excused herself and went to the bathroom. He watched as she bolted. If she didn't know who he was, why was she so afraid of him? When she exited the bathroom she saw Sarah talking to a short brunette. They were laughing and seemed to be quite friendly with one another. Jax was just outside the front door on his phone. The three men who normally came together had just arrived and were parking their motorcycles. She went to talk to Don who was now talking to Sarah and the other woman.

"Good news! You've got three new students! I want you to meet Jenny." Don stated with a smile

"She's my friend." Sarah added in with a huge grin

"There's another woman who's currently changing and a new gentleman who is also changing clothes for your class." Don grinned, "Good afternoon, gentleman!"

The three bikers didn't even acknowledge the shop owner as they headed straight to the men's locker room.

"Don, I think we need to change the classes. Separate it into four separate groups: Basic, Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. That will make it easier to schedule private lessons around." Kalila stated

"Hmm, how exactly would that work?" Don questioned, turning his full attention to her now

"Space out the classes. Not the same time each day throughout the week." Kalila tried to explain

"We gonna get this shit started or what?" One of the bikers impatiently stated

Jax, who had come back inside, looked at the kid menacingly. Kalila told Don they could talk about it more later before walking to her room. Jax was quick to follow her with the three ladies slowly following suit. She now had eight students total in this one class. It really wasn't undoable but Sarah was picking things up really quickly, Jax was a little behind the original four students, and now she's got three new people who need to be taught everything from the very beginning.

She greeted everyone as cordially as she could before getting down to business. The new male of the class was quite chubby. Kalila was wondering if he was even going to be able to make it through the class! There were several times when he had to "breath", as he called it, making her quite uncertain about him. Jax was doing better while the other three men seemed to be getting annoyed and or anxious. Like they weren't learning enough fast enough or something.

Jax was starting to notice it as well. It was alarming. It was definitely something the club needed to know about. Sarah and her friend walked off to women's locker room chatting about the class and how much Sarah loved it. The fat man was trying to catch his breath although he was sweating so much he looked like he just stepped out of a pool. The three bikers stood around talking quietly amongst themselves. The other new person slowly made her way to locker rooms. Jax hung back watching the bikers and Kalila.

She didn't even look at the taller blond man as she passed him. Kalila really wanted to talk to Don but couldn't find him anywhere in the studio. Finally she went to his office and knocked on the door. He didn't hear the knock because he was arguing with someone. It was quite heated although they were trying to keep their argument quiet. She knew better than getting involved so she started heading back to the front desk.

A tall man with sandy blond hair who stood approximately 6'2 stalked past her. He was very muscular and definitely worked out. She headed straight to the front desk. Sitting down behind the counter, she began going over their appointment book. Jax was sitting out on his Dyna waiting for the other three bikers to leave. He had already gotten a snap shot of the other three bike's license plates he was just waiting to get photos of the bikers. Once he did, he quickly took off for the clubhouse.
