Love at first fight 6: London

 After earning my freedom from sonakshi. I moved to London. She gave me a killer recommendation as if I am senior leadership material. I got a sweet consulting gig. I kinda missed the weekly combats with women. I made a new friend group and there was this undeniable will they won’t they chemistry between me and one of my coworker Hayley. I’ve been with women, strong women, fought women but no woman has been as womanly as Hayley. She was extremely beautiful. I was in love . 

She was also very smart, funny and athletic. We’d go on hiking and climbing trips together. Just something about her made me feel so capable and strong as well. She would always listen to me and pull my leg. We fell madly in love. The kind of love that makes you forget everything. The sex , the sex was electric - with a connection so deep, we both cry at the end of orgasms. I did forget everything - by everything I mean - how I lived as a house bound help and involuntary gladiator in a circle of rich Indian women for 2 years . And how a muscular wrestling star emasculated me by overpowering me . With a woman like Hayley, I grew like a man but not toxic man - more of an empowered man. Someone who stands for what’s right and has agency but also compromises where they can. We were blissfully happy . I proposed to under the Eiffel Tower  .

We filed for a marriage license. That’s when it all went down, We got a notice from sonakshi’s lawyer as a breach in contract. To make those gladiator fights legal , she and her lawyers put in creative language entering us into a marriage like partnership. My win in any fight would’ve led to divorce. Since I never won, i just had her verbal consent to live a free life. Getting that notice understandably stunned my hot finance who demanded an explanation. I sat on the sofa and looked into her eyes . My eyes were full of shame and hers full of understanding. I didn’t feel like unloading so much on her but she asked kindly and I felt emotionally space. I began from the beginning - me meeting jade cargill in the bar and that whirlwind romance, she laughed with british sassiness and was engaged in the story - she smiled when I told her about the Disney visit with me in princess costume . She understood my dilemma of leaving though disagreed that it was not the best way to do it. A confrontation would’ve been definitive but people make mistakes. 

Then I told her about India and how the girl who asked me out simply overpowered me into a relationship, kept me in it for a long time, chipped off my self esteem bit by bit. She was angry and horrified . I told her about the airport, maids , and my state. Narrating this again, I felt what the difference between jade and sonakshi was - Jade made me feel like a woman because i could be vulnerable and delicate while sonakshi made me feel like a woman by oppressing me. Sadly it’s a cultural reality of how women live in different cultures  and circumstances. 

Anyways, I got to gladiators part and told her how each woman each week was able to beat me. Yet I kept on fighting until the end when sonakshi just released me. 

Taking all of this in, Hayley hugged me and I cried . It was like a weight off my shoulders , I felt so light. I was so in love but never knew how heavy the past weighed on me. This is also the first time I felt vulnerable and delicate, and I liked it. I felt Hayley holding me in a hug. With context of memories she felt so comforting yet kinda strong. We made love like we did , but this time she was extra gentle yet powerful . She knew the whole me and I mirrored her power and we had the best orgasm. 

In the morning, Hayley woke me up with some good news that she found a legal loophole in the contract. I asked what ? And she said - oh easy - she would fight sonakshi and win my freedom. I was suddenly really nervous and sad. “Hayley,I love you , but you’re underestimating sonakshi . She’s ruthless and deceptively strong.” I said . 

She said “oh I kbow” and confused me. 

She said “I’ll train hard for it , don’t you worry!” She said 

 “But where is the time to train ?” I responded.

“All we need is to take sonakshi out for a few months and I know just the person  to do it” - Hayley said in a cocky british accent and turned me around and saw all 6 feet of Jade cargill. 

I was numb at the sight of the powerful beauty. “Jade….” I said sheepishly.   . “How’s my princess ?” She asked and put her hands on my ribs and picked me up and hugged me. I looked at Hayley who was smiling at my scared cat behavior. I apologized to Jade who said it’s not necessary. She cradled me to Hayley and they had a long conversation. 

Hayley and Jade made a new gladiator contract with me listing them as my champions. Idea is they beat sonakshi one on one and then Jade will cede to Hayley. Jade will fight sonakshi first and put her in the hospital for a few months giving Hayley enough time to train. Then Hayley will beat sonakshi and Jade will cede my freedom to Hayley allowing us to be together forever . 

She finally did put me down and I was embarassed but Hayley just hugged me with her head on my chest . It all feels alright . What can go wrong ?
