The Street Fighter Meets The Gang Leader

Chapter 14 — This Is Xavier?



-Nickolas' POV-

I stood with Dominic's hoodie in my hands, confused as to what exactly she wanted me to do with it. She went towards my car with her phone by her ear before turning to me and calling, "Well? Are you going to put it on and open the door or not?" This then made me realize something: she gave me the hoodie to keep me warm. I couldn't help but let a smile form on my face as I put the hoodie on, covering my slightly shivering state.

I opened the car afterwards and let Dominic in although she looked quite comfortable under the rain. She slid in and started talking to who I assumed was a mechanic through the phone. I heated the car in the meantime and drove to the gates of the school when Dominic suddenly shouted, "Twenty Fucking Thousand?! That's more than the fucking bike!" which surprised me. I had never seen her lose her composure, so this was new to me, but she was quick to calm down and agreed to the price before hanging up.

I had expected her to say that I would have to pay for the damages because I was the one who crashed the bike but instead she sat silently. "Where to?" I asked, and she replied saying the nearest gym. If I were right, then she was talking about the private gym that was only 10 minutes away.

"How are you planning on paying him?" I asked part of my curiosity got the best of me. When she answered that she worked as a trainer at the gym I was shocked but also impressed. It also reminded me of when I punched her. Her stomach was hard and strong, it was hard to punch at all. These little things I hadn't noticed due to my anger were now coming back to me. The thing's I should have noticed.

Dominic was stronger than what she made it seem. If she could get out of Jason and Zack's hold after being punched then, of course, she had to be. I should have realized.

I also ended up asking Dominic who Xavier was. I was nervous to ask because it might have made me seem like I was intruding on her privacy, but I couldn't help it. His unknown identity had my mind spiralling ever since I first saw it flash on her phone's screen. Who was he to Dominic? Another trainer? A friend? I didn't know but she told me I could come in and meet him, so my questions were finally going to be answered.

I walked into the gym behind Dominic. The place was amazingly big and high tech. While we walked through Dominic was greeted countless times by both trainers and trainees who all looked fit and strong, demonstrating the success of this gym. Dominic would always wear baggy clothes, so it was hard to make anything out of her figure, but now that I was wearing her hoodie, I looked her over to see that she was a lot bigger than I had expected. Her shoulders were wide, and her arms made the shirt hug onto them tightly. Her body was still covered but you could tell that under those layers, she was built.

Dominic then led me down to a basement room and opened the door revealing an impressive room full of new equipment, not that the rest of the place didn't have new equipment either but it was so compact in here rather than outside that it looked a different type of amazing.

In the middle of the room was a well-toned and muscular man with his back faced towards us. He was around 6'5 and really familiar. "You know I hate it when you're late," he growled towards Dominic as she walked towards him. I had frozen by the door though, staring at Xavier's back. He couldn't be.

"I said I was sorry. Besides, I've brought someone who'd like to see you," Dominic says to him and finally, he turns to me. Our eyes lock and I tense. It was him. Xavier was the fucking Champ.

Xavier grinned towards me before turning back to Dominic and holding her collar threateningly, "I'd punish you for being late but because we have a guest, I'll let you off," he says which makes my eyes open. The fuck? I thought they were close, why would he punish her just for being late?

"You might as well do whatever mate, Nickolas is a huge fan himself," Dominic then says, coolly, but I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt in my chest. I hated this feeling, this feeling that only she has been able to make me feel. "Oh? Nickolas hmm?" Xavier then replies while letting go of her, to my relief, and then walking to me.

I knew he remembered me. The way he grinned when he saw me confirmed that. So now I had to stand prepared. "I thought you looked familiar." He said looking down at me, but I couldn't let him see any fear in me.

"I was going to say the same thing."

"Punch her." He suddenly orders which shook me to the core. I couldn't have been prepared for that. When I glanced at Dominic, I felt bad.

"Now!" I jumped and then decided to start walking towards her. "Fine." I got myself into this so now I have to follow through.

I didn't want to hurt her. So, when I punched her, I did it as soft as I could, but I knew I had to make it convincing for Xavier. When I punched her, it was harder than I intended, and I felt bad straight away, however, "Weak" Xavier stated towards it which shocked me. How could he want me to hurt her more than this?

He then came from behind me and walked towards Dominic. He wasn't actually going to- He punched her. He punched her so hard that she ended up falling roughly onto the floor with blood coming out of her mouth. I had to stop myself from going to see if she was okay but then reminded myself that I'm a gang leader, I couldn't show myself to be weak and caring for her, so I stood still. This was probably why Dominic was so beat up when she came to school too. "If you're going to bully her, you better do it like that," he then said which made me furrow my eyebrows. This was a lesson for me? Moreover, he knew I was bullying her? Xavier then helped Dominic up with comforted me slightly. "You know who this is?" Xavier directed the question to Dominic while pointing at me which made me tense.

"Nickolas Secter. The popular guy at my school, my bully, and also the world's strongest new generation gang leader of the Skulls and Bones," she states, and I struggle to keep my jaw from hitting the floor. How could she have known that? When I asked Dominic replied by saying, "standing here is Xavier, the strongest street fighter titled The Champ." So, she did know, "I have my fair share of connections to the underground, so I know a lot about the people I'm around." "I'm assuming you broke her motorbike?" Xavier asks me, and I nod after debating whether telling the truth or whether to lie was the better choice. For Dominic's sake, I told the truth.

After some thinking, he then announces something which astounds me. "You're lucky. I won't make you pay for her motorbike in cash, but I will make you pay for it in another way. You're going to join her gym classes," with that Xavier puts an arm around Dominic's shoulders and after a pause, both of us shout,

"What?!"
