mirror. I’m ready for the fight. Sloan’s parents and brother are coming in for it, too, so I finally agreed to go with them. Friday’s are always busy for me when I get off at lunch and today was no exception. I had to go to the grocery store since the guys have pretty much eaten us out of house and home this week. I had to get my car serviced and go get my girly business checked by Dr. Coleman, aka Dr. Coldhands. Being a girl is so much damn fun. The doctor’s office was running behind, then I went ahead and had myself tested for all kinds of shit because of Drake. The doctor said I look pretty well healed up down there after I filled him in on current events. Whatever the fuck “pretty well healed” means. They couldn’t get those results back to me today since they were backed up and it was Friday, so I get to sit here this entire weekend wondering if my damn crotch is going to rot away because of the asshole I was dating.
Damn, I’m angry. Maybe I do need to hit the gym tomorrow.
This past week hasn’t been that bad. I’m kinda growing on having male roommates and I haven’t gotten any more texts from random numbers. I think I’ve gained like fifteen pounds living with these guys on fight week, though. Sly and I watch True Blood every night and Grey’s on the nights that Huck is home. They’ve almost caught up to the current season. I’ll be glad when they do. They’re so damn serious about spoilers and all I want to do is tell them.
I did finally call the therapist Detective Harmon told me about. I’ve had one meeting with Robin. She’s great, she really listens and she’s not a twig so she’s understanding about my weight issues. I’m glad I went and I’m actually looking forward to going back.
I hear a horn and run outside to meet Sloan and her parents. We’re all riding in their Tahoe tonight. I can always catch a ride back with one of the guys.
When she opens the door, I see my sister is already in the very back seat with Sage. “Hey, I didn’t know you were coming, too.”
“Yeah, Sage asked me to come. Who am I to turn down a Friday night with a really cute guy?” She winks. “And he offered to buy me candy.”
I laugh and get in next to Sloan and her mom. I lean forward and touch the seats. “Hey, we got two hot drivers tonight. The male Foster duo.”
Meredith laughs. “Yeah, honey, maybe when we get to the arena, you guys can get out and open the doors for us.”
Everyone in the car laughs. I look at Sloan. “Well, I mean after all, we do have a prize fighter’s fiancée in here. She should get the red carpet treatment.”
We make light jokes the rest of the way to the arena. As soon as we turn in the parking lot, I’m shocked. “Whoa. How are they going to fit all of these people in here tonight?”
Sloan’s eyes are huge. “They won’t, there is no way. I guess since word has gotten out that the guys signed with Bellator, people are coming out of the wood work to see them.”
“You better call the guys or we aren’t getting in,” I say, still in shock at the amount of cars and people.
A minute later, she hangs up. “Pull around the building through the gate, Marco is coming out to meet us.”
Her dad pulls the SUV around the corner and Marco directs him to park next to Lox’s truck and locks the gate behind us.
After everyone gets out, Marco walks us through the back of the building. Sloan walks beside him. “It’s crazy out there tonight.”
“Yeah, everyone heard about Huck’s rematch with Sergio and people came out from everywhere,” he says, quickly walking toward the front of the building. Once we are on the main floor, he leads us over to a roped off section. “You guys sit here. There is a lot of money on some of the fights tonight amongst the fans so please stay in this area. The guys said they’d meet you out here when they’re done.”
We all thank him and he walks back to the locker room. All of the other times I’ve been here, I
