HIS CHILDHOOD PRINCESS

8 - A GYM ROMANCE

Alyssha's POV

My alarm starts beeping as it hits 5am. It's Monday again and the weekend has passed in a blur. I am just so tired as I haven't got proper sleep since Friday. I couldn't sleep till very late because a certain handsome man kept invading my mind the whole night and then had to wake up early on Saturday as I wanted to reach school before breakfast so I got only a couple of hours of sleep. Next day, Kids didn't let me sleep till 11 as we were having fun playing different games. Same with yesterday and I left almost at 10 and it's a two hours drive.

I always choose remote areas for all my schools because land is cheaper and I can provide all facilities to kids within my budget. The air is also fresh and it really helps kids with their mental and physical health. The schools are called 'Little Sunshine School' because it provides sunshine in the dark life of the orphans. I opened these schools because I don't want them to face the same struggles and abuse that I had to face as a lone child. Even after going through everything, I was lucky enough to have the right people in my life at the right time but many don't. I have seen many children taking the wrong path without proper guidance.

I finished my morning routine, had my morning drink and I am on my way to the gym. It's pouring outside and there is no way I can do any outdoor exercise so now I have to settle with the gym and I have to deal with Damian's bees.

I enter the gym and see many sexy looking girls in their bootie shorts and sports bras whereas I am wearing yoga pants, a sports bra and large hoodie that hide all my curves. I see many girls giving me funny looks, I ignore them and start walking towards a treadmill.

I see a group of five girls enter the gym like they own it. All of them were in good shape and look like models but I can see it's achieved by dieting and not by workout. Well I am not against any of them but exercise makes your body strong.

They start walking towards empty treadmills in the row ahead of me. The wanna be queen bee and the leader of the group gives me a disgusting look and starts her walk. I just roll my eyes. As if her opinion matters to me and I should be fine if I mind my own business.

After about 15 minutes I see Damian, Elizah and Oliver enter the gym like they own it. The entire gym falls into pindrop silence and each and every eye turns to them.

I didn't know Elizah lives in this building as well. I just hope they don't spot me or come talk to me because I don't want any attention on me. I quickly. try to put on a hood but Oliver spots me and gives me a wide grin.

"Princess!!" He yells loud enough for the whole gym to hear. I see all eyes are on me now, including Damian, who is giving me his infamous sexy smirk and Elizah who is giving me a broad smile. Ohh no!! So much for a quiet Monday morning. All three of them start walking towards me and Oliver stops my treadmill.

"Hey!! What are you doing?Go away from here." I hissed at him. He just laughs at me and he kisses my forehead.

"Good morning to you too princess." I sigh as I always forget all my anger whenever he does this. It just makes me feel loved and wanted.

"Let's exercise together." Oliver exclaims and he hopes on the treadmill on my right whereas Damian takes one on the left and Elizah is next to him.

"Good morning sweetheart." Damian greets and I just mutter annoyed good morning in response. I can feel all girls shooting their daggers at me even without looking at them. I really don't want to be the center of attention on Monday morning so I start leaving the area but soon a hand catches my wrist. I turn around to see Damian holding my hand. "Where do you think you are going love? I thought we would exercise together." I look around and see everyone, especially girls, are looking at me with wide eyes. Talk about minding my own business.
