The fist came into Robert’s cheek, snapping his head around to the right.
Ow! Didn’t see that one coming.
The sweat flew and grunts echoed from the multiple practice rings in the
large gym. He contorted his torso as though he was going down but, at the
last minute, charged forward and put a shoulder into the midsection of his
opponent. They landed on the mat, grappling for supremacy. Robert would
not let this punk get the better of him. He rolled onto his back in an open
position. While seemingly vulnerable, his opponent covered him and tried
to immobilize him.
Okay, it’s time to end this little tussle.
Robert brought his right leg up between them and pressed his shin against
the other man’s throat, and then, wrapping his left leg around the back of the
head, he pulled down on his foot. Adrenaline raced through his body, and
his heart pounded with the thrill of battle.
“All right, all right. I give, you bastard.”
The snap of his opponent’s hand on the mat signaled his surrender. Robert
let go of his buddy’s foot. James was a good fighter, but still inexperienced.
He climbed out from between Robert’s legs.
“Jesus, man, where did you pull that move from?”
“It’s not a move many use because of the flexibility required. It’s called
the Gogoplata. Tough to pull off, but very effective.”
“I’ll say. You had me pinned in like ten seconds.” James reached down to
pull him up onto his feet.
“Defeat me not, oh young one. Much to learn you have,” he said.
They walked over to the ropes. Robert bent over and snagged the water
bottle. The cool stream of water was perfect in his parched throat. They’d
been hitting the mats hard for over an hour. First, he required a shower,
followed by some food. He and James climbed out of the ropes. He
unscrewed the cap and tilted the rest of the bottle over the top of James’s
head.
“Ahh, you motherfucker. That’s cold.” He turned, the smile on his face
giving away the pissed-off act. “Do it again.”
Robert pushed James on the back of his shoulder toward the locker room.
“Go get your own cold shower.”
“You realize the Yoda talk seriously dates you, right? I mean, unless
somebody is a Star Wars freak, they probably haven’t seen the prequels.
And Grogu doesn’t talk. Speaking of dating, when is the last time you had
one, Obi-Wan?”
“You’re confusing your characters, dimwit.”
Looking back over his shoulder, James taunted, “You’re avoiding the
question.”
A grimace creased Robert’s forehead and lips. “I have dates. I went to the
movies last weekend and to that new bar and grill on Second Avenue the
week before.”
“Going with your mom and her boyfriend doesn’t count. I’m talking
about texting an old hook-up, swiping right on an app, or, if you’re
desperate enough, stalking a hottie on the street to get their digits. Then you
schedule a social engagement with that person, pick them up at their house
since I know how much of a gentleman you are, pay for dinner that’s not on
the dollar menu, and, if you play your cards right, get a little action at the
end of the evening.”
