“First I’d like to thank you all for coming to Lehigh Station’s annual self defense seminar.” The older, masculine, police chief bellowed out into the crowed gym. “Before we start I’d like to introduce our instructors for today. Ashley Davies and Aiden Dennison.”

Acknowledging the crowd, I locked eyes with my stunning girlfriend and gave her a wink. Spencer smiled back at me and I became lost in her beauty. It was almost as if it was just me and her in the room, everyone else becoming one huge blur.

“Uh Ash, you want to say something?” Aiden nudged me, forcing me back to reality.

“Oh, Right” I said, managing to peel my gaze from Spencer and focus on what I was about to say next. “Okay by a show of hands, how many people in here have ever had to physically protect themselves?”

Only a few people actually raised their hand, but that’s what I’m here for to prepare them for potential situations.

“Well, in a real world situation, an attack is over within a few short seconds. These seconds are filled with panic, chaos and confusion, and you won’t have time to think at this point.” I informed the crowd and Aiden followed me up.

“We’re here today to show you a few simple principles and techniques that will allow you to instantly stop any attacker, so if everyone could grab a partner, we’ll begin.” Aiden hadn’t even finished his sentence before he made his way over to a beautiful, dark haired, green eyed Latina.

I just rolled my eyes at his typical male action then turned around to realize Spencer had distanced herself from the group and I let out a deep sigh, because I knew she’d do anything to not have to participate.

“Hey you, blondie with the blue eyes!” I yelled, getting Spencer’s attention. “You get to be my demonstrator for the day. Isn’t that exciting? ” I grinned and she gave me an agitated look.

“Awesome” She mumbled as she moseyed her way over to me. God she’s so cute!

“Alright first things first” I hollered out amongst the chatter, causing everyone to quiet down. “In this scenario, Spencer here is going to be the attacker, and I’ll be the victim.” I noticed a small smile tug at the corner of her lips.
