Chapter 108: Getting Settled In
Alex began his new life in Vegas, settling in and getting comfortable. He found himself in a new home, with a new family, or an old one, depending on how one might look at it. And because of this, Alex found himself with a list of things to do the morning after he crashed at Diana’s penthouse.
First, he had to finalize his transfer process to UNLV. Second, he had to sign up at the new MMA gym, which he wanted to fight out of. And thirdly, Alex needed to start identifying the new Heroines he had to conquer, along with the new MC he was competing with.
However, this last part became quite difficult, as the Queen of Hearts told Alex she was forced to limit the amount of help that she was able to give him now that he had begun the main story. And because of this, he decided to postpone the last of his three goals until after he had completed the first two.
After waking up at the crack of dawn, Alex got his run, and calisthenics out of the way. Before taking a shower, and driving off to the new university which he would attend. He spent the entire morning getting his ducks in a row, so to speak, and by the time he had actually finished transferring schools, he was already exhausted.
Yet that did not stop Alex in the slightest, who then drove to the MMA gym known as the American Fight Club, which was named after its founder, whose nickname during his professional career some twenty years earlier was “Captain America”.
Alex introduced himself briefly to the coaching staff and explained to them that he had recently moved back to the states after securing a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Challenge. Upon realizing this, they were quick to pair him up with their fight team for a round of tryouts.
It was only after training with these veteran fighters, some of which were champions in the UFC and its rival promotions across the globe, that Alex realized how inexperienced he was compared to those fighters who were at the top of the sport.
Nevertheless, he passed the tryouts with flying colors, and even earned some recognition from several of the training staff for his athletic ability and aggressive fighting style. Once Alex had finished with that, he returned home. Though he did not realize it, one of his trainers immediately began to google his career and watch his fights. Where she was surprised to find that Alex had more potential as a fighter than she initially thought.
But Alex knew none of this, and thus he returned home to find that none of his family was there to greet him. Because of this, he decided to take a shower, and do some post exercise stretching. He, of course, performed these acts while completely nude. After all, nobody else was home, and thus it was a good time to liberate himself from the shackles of clothing.—
Alex did not know it, but by the time he had returned to Diana’s penthouse, the women had gone out to dinner with her daughters, parents, and siblings. As well as her nieces and nephews. They had all gathered, where Diana explained the divorce she was now going through with Richard, and where she had disappeared to these last few months.
And when her family heard that she had found Alex, they were all incredibly interested in learning about how the boy had managed to grow up without his mother. It was because of this Diana spent nearly the entire dinner talking about what she had learned about Alex’s development as a man.
Of Course Diana left out some critical details about Alex, like how he was romantically involved with sixteen different women, and was already a millionaire at just nineteen years old. Instead, she focused on his excellent grades at university, and his promising career as an up and coming mixed martial artist.
This shocked Diana’s older sister, Shannon. After all, Shannon was a few years than her older sister, making her forty this year. But more importantly, when Alex was growing up, she had lived in the same neighborhood, and thus she had been a constant part of his life.
This meant that she knew who Alex was as a kid, and in all honesty, her opinion of him wasn’t that great. When Alex was young, he was a kind-hearted boy, who took mixed martial arts solely as a way to defend himself from his bullies. It was honestly shocking to her that he was now fighting in cages for a living.
“Alex has been signed to the UFC? Are we talking about the same Alex here? Little blonde kid, easily bullied, kindest soul in the world, Alex? You’re messing with us, right?”
However, Diana’s appearance turned almost ashen when she reflected on who the boy Alex once was, and the man that he had become today. Without even thinking about it, she let her true thoughts on the subject slip past her lips.
“He’s changed….”
This piqued Shannon’s interests, as she poured herself another glass of wine, while asking about just what her little sister meant by this.
“Really? How so?”
There was an almost guilty expression on Diana’s face as she began speaking about the things that she had observed regarding Alex’s shift in personality, and his unruly behavior.
“He’s like an entirely different person. He used to think violence was necessary only to protect himself. But now he revels in it. You should see the way he looks when he is fighting in the cage. It’s like he enjoys hurting other people.
And it’s not just the cage. For whatever reason, he now has a complete and utter disregard for the law. I know of at least three different situations where he has violently assaulted other people and sent them to the hospital. He loves violence; I mean, he really loves it, and if he goes too long without it, he will find a reason to engage in it. It’s not just the fighting that concerns me, there is also the way that he treats women…..”
Shannon had listened to her little sister’s rant about her son’s behavioral problems with little interest. But when Diana said this last part, her older sister could not help but sit with a wide smile on her face, while making a joke that the rest of her family thought was crude.
“What? Don’t tell me little baby Alex Smith has lost his virginity? Surely you’re joking, right? Everybody knows that nice guys like him don’t get any chicks!”
The look on Diana’s face told Shannon everything she needed to know, and thus she became extremely eager for details as she pried into Alex’s love life without him even knowing.
“No way? Seriously! Alex has a girlfriend? Who is this girl? She’s Korean right? Is she cute? Details woman!”
However, Diana realized that she had already said too much, and quickly shook her head before ignoring her older sister’s desire to know more about her nephew’s sex life.
“Nope! I’m not saying anymore about this! If you want to know more, then ask him yourself!”
This caused Shannon to scoff and take another sip of her wine, where she scolded her little sister for leading her on.
“You’re such a fucking tease….”
—
Throughout the rest of the dinner, Shannon kept demanding answers about Alex, and his love life, which thoroughly annoyed both Diana and the rest of her family. Eventually, she demanded to meet her nephew in person, and thus Diana had no choice but to lead her family back to her penthouse.
However, nothing could have prepared them for the sight of entering the woman’s home. Because sitting on the floor was none other than the man in question. Except, he was in the middle of doing stretches while completely naked. Every muscle, every vein, every hair on his body was revealed to his family. And when Alex saw this, he smirked before saying something rather shameless.
“Oh hey, I was just stretching after working out at the gym. Does anyone want to join me?”
If it were remotely possible for Shannon’s jaw to drop to the floor, then it would have. Alex wasn’t just a grown man, he was a Greek god in the flesh. His muscles were clearly defined, and it appeared like he didn’t have an ounce of body fat on him. But what immediately drew the woman’s soft blue eyes was the 12 inch python, which stood erect, as if it were challenging the heavens.
She was just about to say something when the younger girls in the group screamed and covered their eyes. This included Kristina and Madison, and their cousins who were just out of high school and were roughly Alex’s age. Diana quickly screamed at Alex and demanded he get himself dressed.
“Alex, go put on some clothes! This instant!”
Alex did not even bother arguing as he walked off towards his room. He made sure to deliberately use the woman’s name when he responded to her, like he had always done since she returned to his life.
“Sure, thing Diana. Don’t get your panties in a twist.”
While Alex was walking away, Shannon accidentally let her thoughts escape from her lips, which caused her entire family to look at her as if she were nothing more than a perverted old cougar.
“Damn, that boy has a nice ass!”
Diana was quick to lecture her older sister about her crude statements regarding her son’s appearance. But it did not last long, because in the next moment Alex returned to the room wearing nothing but a pair of fight shorts.
“Shannon!”
After re-entering the room, Alex grabbed a beer from the fridge and popped the cap off while using the kitchen table as his bottle opener. This was much to the dismay of Shannon because once Alex began to drink the alcoholic beverage, she began to comment on his behavior.
“Alex! You can’t drink that!”
It was only now that Alex noticed his aunt Shanon among the crowd, and thus he smirked before saying hello to her.
“Aunt Shannon, I didn’t see you there. It’s been what now five years? How have you been? Did you manage to find a husband yet?”
This, of course, hit the woman’s sore spot. No, she had not managed to find a husband. After her little sister married a billionaire, she kept trying to find a wealthy man to marry herself. But who the hell would want to marry a woman in her thirties? Especially a millionaire or billionaire who has all the options in the world.
At first Shannon thought that Alex was just asking out of curiosity, but when he smirked at her horrified expression, she knew the little shit was actually teasing her, and thus she snapped at him.
“You little shit, how dare you speak to your aunt like that! Put down that beer right now! You are underage and can’t be drinking!”
When Alex heard the woman say this, he chugged the beer until it was completely empty. As if to deliberately mock his aunt, he then put the empty beer on the counter before reaching into the fridge and grabbed another one. It was only at this moment that he noticed something peculiar appear in his sight.
[-5 Affection from Shannon]
[Shannon’s Affection: 45/100]
When Alex saw this, he gawked, before staring at the information that appeared in his vision, which confirmed that his forty-year-old aunt was actually one of his heroines. He could honestly only voice his disbelief aloud with a particularly shocked expression on his handsome face.
“No fucking way….”
This caused the woman to look at him with curiosity, before questioning why he would say such a thing.
“What? What are you gawking at? And mind your language! Diana, just what the hell is wrong with this kid?”
[-5 Affection from Shannon]
[Shannon’s Affection: 40/100]
Apparently, by cursing in her presence, Alex had again lowered another percentage. It was clear that his lack of respect for his elders was a sore spot for this woman. And it was only now that Alex realized that he was truly living on hardcore difficulty.
Because even something as simple as swearing could lower a woman’s affection towards him. While he was trying to figure this out, Diana sighed before responding to her older sister with a defeated tone in her voice.
“I already told you… He’s changed….”
Shannon simply pouted when she heard this, before grabbing hold of her purse and storming out the door. As for Alex’s grandparents, they were quick to greet the man now that the drama was over.
“It’s good to see you, Alex. When Diana said that you had grown, I didn’t realize what she meant, but now I understand… You have become quite the stunning young man.”
Diana gawked at her mother. The old woman was clearly referring to the size and girth of Alex’s cock. And she was quick to voice her astonishment.
“Mom! What the hell?”
As for Alex, he smirked before hugging his grandmother and thanking her for her compliment.
“Thanks grandma!”
As for his grandfather, he chuckled and shook his head before saying something equally as shocking.
“Man, I don’t know why Shannon is so upset. When I was your age, I’d walk around the farm as naked as the day I was born. To be young and in shape, it’s a beautiful thing, isn’t it?”
When Diana heard this, she was absolutely livid, and quickly spoke to the man with an almost childish voice.
“Dad, you too!?!”
As for Alex’s cousins, whether they were male or female, they decided to stay away from the crazy bastard and blend into the background like wallpaper. It was only after the grandparents had greeted Alex that his favorite uncle stepped forward and introduced himself.
“There’s my little killer! Man, look at you! All grown up! Shit, I never thought I’d see you again, and fighting for a living? Shit is unreal!”
When Alex saw the man, he dropped all pretenses and gave him a platonic hug. Where, after letting go, he spoke up.
“Uncle Roy! Man, you know what? I think I owe you a beer or two!”
This confused the man, who looked at Alex as if he had said something funny, before asking for clarification on why he deserved such a thing.
“Oh really? And why is that?”
Alex had a proud expression on his face, as he not so subtly hinted at having actual combat experience.
“Let’s just say those lessons you gave me when I was a kid saved my life…”
This caused the man to scoff, believing Alex was pulling his leg before making a joke, or what he thought was a joke, because it was too absurd to believe.
“Alex, I heard you were in Korea. Exactly how could my lessons on CQC and urban combat have possibly saved your life in any way? What did the north Koreans attack or something?”
Alex wore a smug grin as he subtly hinted that his uncle was right on the money with his “joke”.
“Something like that….”
When the man heard this, he was about to laugh, until he remembered a story from a few months back regarding a North Korean special operations unit attacking some country club in Seoul. It was only then that he realized Alex might not be bullshitting him after all.
“Holy shit! Don’t tell me you were at that fucking country club? Shit alright, I’ll join you for a beer, but you better not leave out any of the gory details!”
With this said, Alex spoke to his uncle all about what had happened that day, and even showed him the AK he had stolen from a dead North Korean soldier. Which Alex had smuggled into the US via his private jet. Despite the fact that this was a serious felony, the old marine did not give a fuck, and was instead impressed with Alex’s tale and his trophy.
Thus, Alex’s first day back in America was quite entertaining for him.
