Authors Note: i know i usually don't write these before the chapters and i promise you will get to reading soon, i just wanted to say it's so crazy that we're already on chapter eleven. Thank you to anyone who has supported me in any way during this time. Okay enjoy!

"Can I at least sleep in your bed?"

"Yes, of course," I loved cuddling with him, he made everything so comfortable.

He got in, and he was just like a giant teddy bear. I put my arm around him and he did the same.

"Thank you for choosing me to be your partner," I smiled at him, "but what made you choose me?"

"Well," he sighed, "when we first talked, you seemed ready to fight, and you had this little fire in you, and I could tell you would be a great competitor," he paused for a moment, "Also, you were attractive," he smiled.

"Aww thanks," I smiled and kissed his jawline.

We cuddled like that until we both drifted to sleep. That night I dreamt of our future and how great it could be. It was beautiful. It made me want to spend the rest of my life with him, even though we only met about two days ago.

I woke up to a forehead kiss, "Want to go on a morning run?" I never usually got up early in the morning, but I knew that I probably really needed to get some running in.

"Yeah let me get ready," I wasn't really sure what to wear for a run, I didn't know how long we would be running, and I didnt know what it felt like outside, "CT, what's the temperature?"

"Right now a solid 70 degrees," he shouted from his bathroom. He told me we should share bathrooms but I just called him an idiot and walked away. That was kind of our love language, he would be annoying and I would be sarcastically mean back to him.

I decided to just wear track pants and a sports bra. You couldn't really go wrong in that.

I straightened my hair and put it in a high ponytail. I walked out and found CT stretching. He looked amazing. He was just wearing shorts. All of his muscles were showing. He had an amazing body. Chiselled abs, his arms literally looked like they could crush me.

I didn't know how long I was staring until he said something, "Do you like what you see?" He raised one of his eyebrows.

I didn't want to lie, I was practically drooling over him right now, "Yes, mine are better though," I flexed my muscles, I mean I did have good muscles, but nothing compared to CT's.

He looked at my muscles and then looked me up and down, "Damn girl you look hella good," he smiled.

"Whatever, let's just get this run done," he made me blush and I didnt want him to know that he did.

When we got downstairs it seemed like no one else was up, "Wait, what time is it?"

He looked at a fitness watch thing he had, "5:23," he smiled.

"It's so early," I whined.

"Yeah, but we'll definitely be ready to make it all the way to the end and win if we start training and working out," I knew he was right so I just sighed.

"What do we do first?"

He smiled, "We'll start with a simple workout to stretch before our run, then after we run we will do another workout that will be a little bit more difficult, is that good with you?"

I knew it would be a lot harder then what he told me, but I knew that I really needed it, "Yep, it sounds fun."

We went outside, and he showed me what we were doing, the beginning workout was actually a lot easier than what I thought he was going to have me do. We did sixty crunches,fifty mountain climbers, forty jumping jacks, thirty line jumps, twenty box jumps, and ten plank shoulder taps. I hadn't heard of the shoulder taps before, but it was pretty easy.

"Alright, that was really good rookie," he smiled at me, "now we're gonna go over to that track over there," he pointed to a track that I never even realized was there, "and we're gonna run about 5 miles, and walk four miles in between each one."

Holy hell that was a lot. But again, I knew that I needed it, "Alright, let's go."

As we were running it was pretty easy  we would run one lap, which was half a mile, then walk a lap. It got really hard after about the third mile.

We were running and I felt like I was about to die. Don't get me wrong, I love running, I try to run at least once a day. However, I only run a mile.

"Hey come on rookie, dont give up now, we're so close to the end," CT was definitely dying too, but he was pushing through it. I knew I could too.

After what seemed like hours, we were running our last half lap. Well, we weren't really running anymore, now it was more like walking, but we were definitely trying.

When we got to the end, I layed on the ground, my legs felt like literal jello, I didn't I could walk anymore.

"Come on rookie, we still have a workout and weight lifting to do." I didn't want to, but I knew it was for the best so I got up.

"After this, I'm going back to bed," I told him. I deserved it.

When we got back to the house, we did the same workout we did before we left before moving on to a harder one. This workout took about another hour. And I think it killed my body. I never wanted to workout again. It was basically torture.

"Alright, five minute break before we go to weight lifting," I needed this five minute break. All I really did was drank water and went to the bathroom.

When I got back out he showed me the proper way to deadlift before helping me find the right amount of weight to use. We decided on the 120lbs one.

After we both weight lifted we went back inside the house, and I slept on the couch.

Authors Note: I know I already did one of these, but I'm going to do another one. Sorry I didn't explain the whole workout thing in an extreme detail, I don't workout as much as I should, so I wasn't sure how to write it. Well, I hope you enjoyed, thanks for reading!

edit: do you guys want a chapter from CT's pov??
