I let my smile transform into something a little less disturbing. "It's pretty good right now. So glad I dumped that stupid gig at Planet Fitness..." I shake my head. "You got a pretty good crowd, Ambrose. Did you promise them free booze or somethin…

"I'm only averse to nudity if it's tasteful, Ambrose." I give him my most feral smile.

I reach out and snag Sasha's fancy vaporizer, take a hit. "The Hillary statue is great, man. I like them all, but that look of surprise? Priceless." This isn't marketable, at all. The "statues" are waste food, artfully draped on armatures made from …

I'm off to some performance art of a less... sordid variety. I feel scuzzy, just talking to Dustin for 5 minutes, but no time for a shower or a Scotch.
-
There are no words sufficient to explain what I think of that idea. So, I just give him a flat look and let myself imagine the feel of The Preacher's hilt in my hand, the sheen off James Black's miraculous blade. Then I turn and leave.

Stay shallow, Dustin. Stay shallow. "Like that, yeah. Listen, I'll come back in a few hours and we'll move you, then I'll go see her. When I text, do not check out of your room. Just take a few days' worth of clothes and one bag, go down the service…
-
"What she really wants is your heart, grilled with lemongrass and maybe some noodles. Not metaphorically." I give him a hard look. "And I kind of hate myself for protecting you, because you didn't pay attention, Dustin. You're going to have to give …

"Okay... eat up. I'm going to go see Madame l'Infer tonight. We need to wrap this up. What are you willing to offer, Dustin?"
-
Ugh. That would strain my debit card beyond forgiveness, so I put it on my one Visa, which is a little bit magically altered to always work, even if it exceeds the credit limit. I'll still have to pay the bill, mind you. So, another reason to keep d…
-
I give Tom a smile, but not a simpering one. At least he does the work. I don't hit him up for an extra session, he shouldn't do more than he is, and he'd take it as encouragement. After a quick shower and a change into my jeans and top, I head out …
-
"Yup. Like I said. Text me the restaurant." I hang up before this drags on any longer. 'Feckin' Dustin. There's nothing to it... if I'm going to get this monkey off my back, I'm going to have to talk to Madame L'Infer, make a deal or make it clear i…

"Pick someplace close to the hotel and text me. Don't put the order in your name or use your card. I'll add it to the tab."
-
"I think it would be a bad idea for you to go out, Dustin. She's got friends, and her friends have friends. I'll be by in an hour and a half." I think for a second. "Remind me... why haven't you skipped town yet?"
-
"Daylight hours are supposed to be on you, Dustin." I take a breath. "But I'll stop by after my next session with some food. I've got a thing at 3, though, so it's just a drive-by."
-
I head to the desk, make sure whoever's there catches Alari on her way out to put her extra session officially on the books. I've got fifteen minutes before my next session, so I munch a muffin and drink some water, then grab my phone and call Dusti…
-
"I get that, but Xoan actually knows his... okay." I give her a smile. "I get it... and I'll make it happen. You commit to another session per week, and I'll be there... let's say 10 AM Saturday? as often as I can. Otherwise... me or Tone will make …
-
"Nah... I can be here on a Saturday or Sunday, or if I've got something going I can get someone to fill in for me. Any problems working with Xoan or Tone? I'll set the workout if I miss."
-
I dig the enthusiasm when it's pointed in the right direction. "You'll have to make sure you stay healthy, and up your game at home, without pushing too hard when you're on your own. And, if you can see your way clear to an extra session a week, we …
-
"You getting that ache next-day or just after workouts? Either way, you should come early next Monday, let Bonnie have a look at it." Once she's done with the pushups, I hold out a hand to pull her to her feet. "You know, we're going to be hosting a…
-
She actually has a breakthrough on the body-ups. Over the last few months we've gradually been realigning where the muscle-mass is in her body, and her shoulders and core are finally to the point where pulling her heavily-muscled (but leaner now tha…
-
"Sure." I give her an evil smile. "But the main event is kettlebell clean-and-jerks and muscle ups." I walk over and grab a jumprope. "Jumprope first, though. 100 reps."
-
We're not a typical fitness club with rows of machines for bobdybuilding and muscle isolation, but a strength and conditioning gym built around the CrossFit model but without being affiliated with the CrossFit brand. The building used to be a garage…
-
It's not any one unreasonable thing. It's like every disappointment in her choices in life, every "I could have been..." or "I should be..." or "I deserve better..." come out in the ferocity and intensity of her sessions. I even suggested she try ou…
-
Great. A carrot on a string. Still, though, I could use the money. In a sort of chronic kind of way. "I'll work on it." I wait a second, see if he's got anything else. If not, I'll put my bag in my locker, grab a towel and a bottle of whatever power…
-
I've got nearly an hour until my nightmare client comes in for her session. Fucking John. He wants us to say Zhoohan, but that's a lot of work when his name really just means "John." He threw Alpha Mom at me, knowing that she'd really prefer a male …
-
I gave up doing kata in the apartment after an unfortunate incident with a lamp. Just not enough room. So I clean up the rest of the breakfast stuff, put two muffins in a ziploc bag in case of later peckishness, and head to the gym to warm up.
-
Goodbye kisses are a gray area in my principles of "romance." I decide to go for it this time, giving Sasha a pretty hot goodbye. "Thanks for the muffins. Hopefully I'll see you at the thing."
-
"I'll be there if I can. May have some personal biz to take care of, but it'll probably be later on." I smile. I do like Ambrose, and a "weird performance art sculpture thing" sounds like a good diversion. I take a slightly too-big bite of muffin, c…
-
"Yeah. I only have three clients today, though." I don't talk about my other thing with "civilians," so I don't mention that I'm probably babysitting Dustin for a while, too. "Your cousin gets into some interesting trouble, at least. There's that."
-
"Not a problem." I follow her into the living room. "I'll just grab some." I run into the bedroom, grab a pair of grey sweats and an Agent Orange t-shirt, bring them back and then sit down on the couch.
