practicing front, roundhouse and tornado kicks. I could tell that Bryce still wasn’t being as aggressive as he could have been, but by the end of the class, both of us were sweating and out of breath. When we were finished, he removed his helmet and wiped his forehead with a towel.
    “Wow, I’m really impressed,” he said. “You snap those kicks quickly and your balance is right on. Plus, I haven’t met that many other opponents with as much power in their roundhouse kicks as you.”
    “So I was a little bit of a challenge? Even for a girl?” I asked.
    His smile fell away. “For anyone. Cassie, I’m sorry for sounding like a complete ass earlier. You obviously put me in line.”
    “You weren’t a complete ass,” I said dryly.
    He bit back a smile. “Really, I’m not such a bad guy once you get to know me.”
    I shrugged. “If you say so…”
                  “Well, I’ll be back tomorrow evening, if you want to stop in and practice again.”
    “I’m not sure if I’ll be here tomorrow, but thanks.” I replied, removing my chest plate.
    “Okay, well maybe I’ll see you around.”
    I nodded. “Sure. Good luck with your next tournament.”
    “Thanks.”
    I grabbed my gym bag and started stuffing my sparring gear into it. Mae, Master Jordan’s girlfriend, walked over and congratulated me on getting my Black Belt.
    “Thanks,” I said.
    As usual her makeup was flawless and she was dressed like she’d just stepped out of a fashion magazine. Her exotic Asian eyes glinted with amusement.
    She motioned towards Bryce. “So…you like that boy?”
    “What?” I shook my head vehemently. “No…he’s just an instructor.”
    I could tell by her expression that she didn’t totally believe me. Either did I for that matter.
    “Cassie, you… very pretty girl. You should let me shape your eyebrows and give you manicure. I will do it, no charge. Men like beautiful nails and tidy eyebrows.” Mae owns the nail shop in the same mini mall as the karate studio.
    “Oh, no…that’s okay Mae,” I replied, now feeling self-conscious about my eyebrows. I realized my nails were a lost cause but I thought I’d done a pretty decent job plucking my own eyebrows.
    She unexpectedly grabbed my hand and looked at my nails. “No. You come and let me do this for you. Your nails are…ugly. This is my treat for earning your Black Belt. Tomorrow night?”
    Embarrassed and defeated, I accepted her offer. “Um, okay. Thank you?”
    Master Jordan joined us and put his arms around her. “Better listen to Mae. She won’t accept NO for an answer.”
    “Either do you,” she replied firmly.
    “What can I say Mae? I didn’t want you to miss out on having such a great guy. Besides, you know you couldn’t resist me. You finally said yes.” He was actually pretty good looking for someone in their thirties. Blond hair, blue eyes, and kicking body, he kind of reminds me of Paul Walker, from the “Fast and The Furious”.
    She chuckled. “I gave in so you’d stop embarrassing me at my shop. How many times a week did you ask for both pedicure and date?”
“I thought you liked massaging my feet?”
    She looked down at his feet. “I got tired of looking at your corns.”
    Master Jordan’s face fell, but I could tell he was amused. “Corns? Mae, you’re killing me!”
    Mae and I burst out laughing. She then grabbed him around the waist and dragged him away while he pretended to pout .
    I walked through the locker room and into the entryway, where Nora was standing. “So, that new instructor was smoking hot,” she said. “Did you get his number?”
    I scowled. “No! Are you kidding? He’s an instructor. Besides, he’s kind of annoying.”
    She smiled. “Well as annoying as he was, he certainly couldn’t keep his eyes off of you.”
    I rolled my eyes. “That’s because we were sparring Nora.”
    She shook her head. “No, it was more than that.”
    Her words pleased me though, I was a little intrigued
