《The Secretary》Someone's Competitive
Advertisement
I woke up to find Jensen holding me close to his body, as if he was afraid to let me go. I found myself smiling at the fact that he said even after I fell asleep, but I quickly shut the thought down.
I climbed out from his arms as swiftly and quietly it as possible, trying hard to not wake the sleeping actor. I walked over to my suitcase and started pulling out some close when I heard some shuffling coming from the bed.
Glancing behind me, I saw a sleeping Jensen, with ruffled hair, with his hand searching the empty side of the bed. Before he had the chance to open his eyes, I quickly gathered my things and practically ran out of the room.
It was kind of him to stay with me for the night when I had asked him, but it didn't help that he forced himself onto me. That I hadn't asked him to do.
Jensen knew I was very serious about quitting. He wouldn't change my mind. And even if we were to make this work, it would be highly inappropriate to have a relationship with my boss.
I turned on the water in the shower and quickly washed myself clean, then started washing my hair.
Having a relationship with Jensen sounded amazing, seeing how affectionate he was towards me this entire trip. Yet again, he could just be trying to get into my pants, although last night proved that wasn't his motive.
Hoping out of the shower and shoving my thoughts into the back of my mind, I quickly changed into my workout fit, black leggings, black sports bra, and black running shoes.
I stuck my head out of the bathroom door, glancing out to check for Jensen, who was out of bed. I quickly made my way out of the bedroom, and began searching for the gym in this giant house like hotel.

I finally found it in the basement, to which it was nicely decorated. Workout equipment was everywhere, and the room was freezing cold. I quickly connected my phone to my earbuds, and began with some stretching.
After stretching I went for a 2 mile run on the treadmill, then started doing sit ups. When I reached about 70, I started on my squats, to which Jensen had walked through the door of the gym.
I glanced up at him, then looking away. He didn't seem to notice, just started on his own workout routine. It was too long after when he had taken off his shirt, I assumed it was because he was hot, but he also seemed to have other intentions as he moved closer to me and faded into my own workout routine which had gone from squats to push ups.
From the corner of my eye, I could see the muscle in his arm flex each time he went down and push himself back up effortlessly. It wasn't until I started doing burpees had he finally started to breath a little heavier.
"You getting tired already?" I teased him.
"Oh please, I could do this all day." He answered.
"Let's pick it up then." I said, moving quicker.
Once I finished my burpees I moved onto the treadmill once more for a cool down. I amped the treadmill up to 8, ready to run my last two miles none stop.
Jensen got on the treadmill next time and amped it up to 9. I raised my eyebrows, but said nothing as I set out on my run, it wasn't until I completed lap 2 that I had amped the treadmill up to 10.
Jensen had caught sight of it and amped his up to 11. Jensen didn't realize that I had trained myself like this everyday, slowly amping the treadmill up during my cool down until I got to the high test number by the time my last lap had come around.

I turned the speed up to 11. Jensen was already struggling to keep up with the speed, but he decided to push 12 anyways. It wasn't until he tripped had he realized his mistake. I stopped my treadmill instantly, and Jensen had slipped, lost his footing and flew backwards.
I turned off his treadmill and hopped off of mine, biting my lip to hold back my laughter.
"Are you alright?" I managed to get out with a straight face.
He groaned in response not moving in the floor. I gave his body a once over, checking for any visible wounds. He'd have a few bruises for sure.
"Can you stand?" I asked him, a bit more urgent this time.
"Yeah, that just," He paused. "Hurt like hell."
"I'm sure." I said, holding out my hand to help him up.
He took up and slowly pulled himself off the floor. He didn't break anything, although I could tell he did a least sprain his ankle. He had his best efforts in trying to hide it, although it didn't really work.
I kneeled down, pressing my fingers to his ankle, to which his hissed. I looked back up at him. "You probably just sprained it, nothing to bad."
He glanced away quickly after meeting my eyes. Telling what went through his mind right now was hard to say, impossible even.
I stood back up, giving him a little push to se if he could walk, seeing that he couldn't, and refused to move, I grabbed his arm and threw it over my shoulders, to which I felt his weight leaning in my instantly.
"You're such a drama king." I complained.
"It's not that, you just gave me the opportunity to wrap my arms around your shoulders darling. Couldn't pass that up." He smirked.
"Drop the act lover boy, we need to go wrap your ankle, and then I'm driving the rest of the way to California." I said, rolling my eyes.
He hummed in response and walking moving with me, limping every now and then until I had reached the locker room, having him sit down on the one on the benches in there.
Searching the lockers, I finally found the medical one, which did indeed have some medical wraps. Grabbing one as well as some icy hot and an ice pack, I walked back over to Jensen, and bent down, sitting on the floor.
As gently as I could, I pulled off his shoe and then his sock. I handed him the ice pack.
"Pop this and shake it around." I ordered. He said nothing, just did what he was told.
He handed me the ice pack back, to which I had place on the area that was already swelling, and began wrapping his ankle, with the ice pack pressed to it.
He hissed, but said nothing, just waited patiently for me to finish. I rubbed some of the icy hot onto the area above his ankle, to keep the muscles from working too hard.
"You're beautiful." He said.
"What?" I fought to hide my blush and looked up at him.
"You're beautiful." He said again.
"Oh, um, thank you." I said and went back to work on his ankle.
When I finished, he asked two questions I never thought would come out of his mouth.
"Do you like me?" After a short pause he continued. "I mean, what are we?"

Now, 7 years on, Kai embarks on a new adventure as he begins the new school year at the esteemed Zion Academy in the kingdom of Nirvania, where adventures await him in a world embroiled in tensions which is full of surprises and mysteries at the same time. A month has passed since Night Wing's incursion on the capital of Nirvania, Nirvana. However, that isn't the end of Nirvania's problems, with war against its warmongering neighbour, Miran looking ever more likely than before. To make matters worse, tensions have been stoked between the Sylph Kingdom and Nirvania by the Chaos Legion, the true enemies hiding in the darkness, opening the possibility to a war on 2 fronts.

Can Kai circumvent the tides of chaos and live to see the end of what is likely to be a 3rd Holy War? Will Nirvania stand strong against its foes, or crumble and be washed away by the sands of time? 2 years had passed since the conclusion of the 3rd Holy War, which was achieved by the combined efforts of the Nirvanian Army, the 10 Saints and Kai's team, which have been affectionately known thereafter as the Rising 8; a group of rapidly rising youths revered as national heroes for their contributions in putting an end to the 3rd Holy War.

However, danger lies ever closer, with the Chaos Legion staying low over the past 2 years, awaiting the perfect opportunity to rear its ugly head.

After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.

HEfTY
What if everyone in the world gave you $1? That’s what Hefty, a fat and cocky 14-year-old computer hacker tries to do. He bets on Bitcoin, and becomes a millionaire. Nevertheless, it’s short lived because Hefty is under the beck and call of his BPD mom. Hefty’s mom has leukemia. After seeing his mom’s hospital bill, he goes full tilt on the internet, selling crazy things on the Dark Web, like drones, drugs, and guns. And under his nose, someone’s been watching Hefty. Before he knows it, he’s abducted by ISIS and transported to Syria. ISIS’s chief tech officer was blown apart in an airstrike. All of ISIS’s money freshly minted into Cryptocurrencies. The passcodes in his mind blew up with the airstrike. The King of ISIS, forces Hefty to find the passcodes. At gunpoint, Hefty can’t say no, but tricks the King. The King makes a deal with him: If Hefty gets the money off the server, he gets to keep his life (and 10%). Hefty agrees and sees the amount from his 10%: $1.1 Billion in BTC. Drunk with money, Hefty joins the King and naively agrees to help ISIS, and starts buying everything he’s always wanted. He still misses home though, and after a google search brings up his mom, he throws bread crumbs through the internet. He creates digital trails throughout the back end of sites he hacks so people can find him. Even though his lifestyle is fun and exciting, ISIS starts to look less inspiring. Hefty sees the cruelty of ISIS’s cause and it disillusions him from thinking the Caliphate is noble. After some ISIS friends start dying, Hefty sees that war is dumb. Hefty tells his dying friend, on his last breaths, that he is going to take down ISIS. Mistake. With his last yells, his friend tattles on Hefty. Overnight, he goes from Multimillionaire to POW. The King gives him 2 options: blow up his favorite team on a game day of the Cleveland Browns, or his mother dies. Hefty chooses his mother. Within weeks, Hefty covertly writes software to defeat ISIS, leaving enough breadcrumbs to attract the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Tarvish. Acting quickly, General Tarvish works to find Hefty and uncover the Brown’s Stadium plot. Hefty finds a way to bomb the stadium, using an order that the president enacted putting all combat planes: no matter where over the US, had to be fully loaded and ready for war. Tarvish didn’t plan this into his counter measure. Hefty has set up ambushes against the Caliphate of ISIS… but the joke turns on him when he forgets to delete his code, and his terror attack on Brown’s Stadium goes off. Hefty’s location goes live, and an air campaign against the Caliphate starts. The US President angrily tries to drop a nuclear bomb on Hefty and the Caliphate. Tarvish kills the President before he can order the attack. The King flees by truck into the desert, but brings his cyber weapon: Hefty. Fed up, unafraid, and frankly pissed off, Hefty grows some balls and kills everyone in the car, giving the King his just reward, and careening down a mountain in the process.
