MY OBSESSION

Chapter 9

Amara:
Work was the same it always was. Everyday one new client added to my heavy workload.

I was stressed to a point where my head was pounded waiting for some sort of pain relief that was never going to come.

There were only a few more clients left before I got to go home and just relax. Don't get me wrong. I love my job, I really do, but I do tend to take on a lot more clients than I should do which always results in my stress cultivation.

At this point I had about 20 exercise programmes I had to plan for the next week, which always is a pain to do. Especially when you don't have a lot of free time to do it in.

The last two clients I had were Tommy and Marie, a sweet married couple who decided to workout together. Which is the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

Marie was 5 months pregnant and always in serious discomfort, but since she's been seeing me, she has felt a lot better physically, mentally and emotionally. She was so strong for putting herself through training sessions in such discomfort.

I made sure not to push her too much but make sure that she is okay with the amount of work she is doing. Whereas Tommy I make sure to push from the commands of Marie, as she wants to prep him for the child labour she'll have to go through.

They are both so sweet, when they look at each other it's almost like nothing can stop them and their motivation. It's so inspiring to watch.

I finished the last set of sumo squats with both of them and finished the workout.

"Right that's all done until next week, for the two of you" I smiled as they caught their breath.

"Thank you so much Amara, I feel like child birth is going to be a walk in the park now, these sessions have been preparing me so much." Marie said back while giving me a huge hug.

I returned the hug and replied, "it's my pleasure, you two are my favourite clients, always so motivated and that's what makes me happy."

Tommy wasn't much of a talker, not that I would know or anything, it's just that Marie tends to not let him get many words in.

Both of them smiled waving goodbye to me as they left the gym floor and out to go home.

When I get home I deserve a nice hot shower, a can of red bull and a movie.

"Ughhhh the programmes" I yelled out, forgetting the amount of work I have to do.

My manager chuckled to herself shaking her head looking toward the floor.

"Is something funny Lizzie?" I simply raised my eyebrow in an almost angry yet funny way.

"Nothing, just that every single Friday you fantasise about going home, having a hot shower, opening a can of red bull and watching a movie. Then completely forget about all of the training programmes and realise you can't do any of that. Or am I wrong." She smirked giving me a little wink.

"Shut up" I said waking off. It's annoying how well she knows me.

I walk to my locker grabbing out my gym bag, phone and keys making sure that I didn't leave anything behind as I have done many many manyyyyy times.

I began to walk out the gym hearing the loud voice of Lizzie as I left, "Goodnight Amara!"

"Goodnight weirdo that knows me too well" I said giggling and watching her start to laugh aswell.

My face met with the warm evening air as I made my way out the gym doors and out on the street.

I looked down at my phone to see no texts, no phone calls and the sigh of relief of the fact that I will have no distractions tonight.
