Chapter 16

Right Tiifany, hear goes chapter 16. Let me know what you think of it. Hopefully I will get some more comments, hearing everyones feedback does a lot for my confidence. I will try to get the new chapter up on Sunday.

Oh and I have so much faith in the Pens tonight, I dreamt last night that they won the cup and I am looking at that as being a good omen, I really think they can win! LETS GO PENS!!

So back to the story...

I decided to park my car at the office and walk over to the arena, the 2 car parks were almost joined but my designated space was far enough away that Tyler wouldn’t see my car. Even if he does he will probably just think I have gone into the office for something. On game day my office car park gets opened up for the fans to use because their own car park is always full.

I made my way over to the Mellon with my gear and met Ray at the reception where he escorted me to the training room where I would take the class.

I got myself set up and put on my kung fu clothing and my black belt. I tied my hair up into a high ponytail and busied myself in the corner with the pads as I heard the boys coming along the corridor.

I kept my back to everyone as I listened to Ray and Michel Therrian gather everyone round.

“Right guys, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer… Gill will you come over and tell the guys what we have organised.”

I turn round and see the look of shock on everyone’s face especially Tyler but soon his look of shock turns to one of happiness and relief.

“Good afternoon guys, hope you are all well after the game last night.

“Ray has asked me to do some specific training with you all… somehow he has found out that I am a qualified kung fu instructor and he would like me to do some classes with you all to build on your strength. I will also incorporate some self defence techniques which eventually we will take out onto the ice so that you can use it when getting into a fight during a game.

“Any questions anyone?”

I looked round everyone to see them all shaking there heads.

“Last night you were all so loud and now I can’t get a word out of you… anyway let’s start with a warm up.”

I put them through a rigorous warm up and then asked for a volunteer.

“You go TK.” I heard as everyone pushed him forward.

“I will let you pick on TK today but I will look for a different volunteer every session.

“I am going to start by showing you the best way to stretch your legs before doing kung fu and then I will demonstrate the 3 basic kicks that you will need as you work through each grading.

“Before any of you ask you will all get graded and if you’re good enough you will get your belts as your progress and right now you are all working towards your white belt.

“Ok Tyler, come here please and if you can lean against the wall with both of your legs straight.”

I hear some giggles come from the guys but chose to ignore them for the moment.

“Ok, lift one of your legs letting me take a hold of your ankle and control where your leg goes.”

I cup my hand around his ankle making sure that both of his legs are still straight.

“I am going to start lifting your leg up and when you feel these muscle pulling tell me to stop.” I run my hands over the muscles in the top half of his leg pointing out the ones I need him to work on and can tell by the look on his face that I am sending him over the edge.

“Stop” he quickly replies.

“Ok tense and relax the muscles continuing to do this until they feel looser.”

I pull his shorts up slightly letting the guys see what I am talking about and then we work on the other leg.

“Right, now it is your turn to stretch my legs and then we will work on the side muscles of your legs.

“Let me take these baggy trousers off for a moment so that everyone can see what they are meant to be looking for when stretching each others legs.”

I look at Tyler and see his eyes widening in shock and I hear a cheer from all the guys. I always wear fitted ¾ length trousers when wearing my kung fu outfit as it is very baggy due to the style of martial arts clothing.

I place my trousers on the floor and then stand against wall as TK had done moments before.

He lifts my leg up and I keep him right, when I tell him to stop and I flex the muscles to stretch them when I hear Jordan in the background.

“My word, she can lift her legs higher than you can mate.

“You are one lucky guy TK, she has amazing legs. I wouldn’t mind running my hands down them and then seeing what is underneath the rest of those clothes.”

“We went out for a 5 mile run this morning and then Gill swam 100 length of the full size swimming pool she has in her house, I swear she is fitter than all of us put together.

“but please stop think about what is under her clothes Jordan although I can assure you it is just as nice as it looks, in fact better.” TK answers without even thinking about it.

“Come on guys remember that I am here and can hear everything you are saying about me.”

We finish off the stretching and I put my trousers back on much to everyone’s disappointment.

The guys all have a shot at stretching their legs and then I show them the kicks taking the kicking pad around telling everyone to kick the target as they practice all three kicks.

“I not kick lady” Geno explains to me with his adorable broken English accent.

“I can handle it Geno.”

“No, I not kick lady.”

“Ok Geno, you take the pad” I show him where to hold it, “and tense your body then I will prove my strength to you.”

He does as I ask and I quickly do all three kicks, kicking him hard but not with my full strength. I don’t want to be responsible for hurting the Penguins.

“Gill you kick hard. Tyler you no upset Gill or she beat you.” He laughs that cheeky laugh as he hands me the pad back and gets ready to kick.

I work round all the guys and they have a go at kicking the pad.

“You are all picking this up well so I am going to move on and show you the etiquette that again you will use throughout your training and then I will show you number one hand block. If you pick that up well I will show you a bit of self defence and then I will show you something that I want to you to practice along with your kicks before the next session.

“TK if you will come forward again.”

I show them what we discussed and again they picked it up fast so I decided to have a bit of fun and show them some self defence.

“TK come here, if you start by doing the etiquette and then moving into left fighting stance.

“Good, now I want you to step forward with your right foot while punching out with your right arm, I want you to aim for my nose. While we are still practicing wait until your partner nods their head to signal they are ready.

I nodded and he did as I asked, I proceeded to step back with my right foot and block his arm with my left hand, instead of carrying on with the number one hand block I grabbed his arm and pulled him down towards me bringing my right elbow up to hit his jaw (which I intentionally missed), the motion of the right arm following through and wrapping itself around the back of his neck while continuing to hold his arm. I brought my right knee up kneeing him in the stomach with very little force (again so not to hurt, we are only practicing after all). Bringing my right arm back and my right leg back down, my left hand still holding on to his arm I placed my right hand on his shoulder and pushed him away making him fall to the ground.

When doing this exercise it flows together and is over in seconds so TK never knew what hit him. When he landed on the floor the guys all cheered and clapped as TK looked at me with that look of hunger that I had previously seen in the restaurant.

They practiced for a while before I gave them some exercises to practice before the next session.

“So guys, did you have a fun?”

“Yeah” Max pipes up. “We loved seeing you beat up your boyfriend.” He says laughing.

“Seriously we all had a good time, thanks Gill. I certainly feel like I have had a good work out and think I am going to get a lot out of it.”

“Good stuff. Well remember to try and find some time to practice and I will see you all when you get back from Toronto. Good luck for the game and have fun.”

The guys all left leaving TK to say goodbye again.

“You have no idea how much that turned me on, I so wish I could take you home and show you just how much I enjoyed the class.” TK leans in kissing my lips passionately before moving down and kissing my neck, his hands wondering trying to find his way under my martial arts jacket without much success.

“As much as I hate saying this you have to stop. The bus is waiting for you.”

I walked him down to the bus and gave him a kiss before I waved them all off.
