More Than One Night

chapter five

Logan

"So tell me about your week."

He needs to get a new fucking line.

I sigh. I don't know where to start. Aurora is giving me a fucking headache. I thought I was going to have to drag her off that damn treadmill yesterday and then she doesn't even bother to show up today. I text her asking where she was, not that I got a reply.

So here I am sat in James' office at 7pm on a Friday night about to spill my guts about a woman I barely know, that has been on my mind all day.

"I don't get why she needs to run." I blurt out. James looks at me confused.

"And then she doesn't bother even turning up today." I continue.

"And who is this your talking about?"

"Aurora. Well, actually Aurora is AJ, the bartender I slept with. I'm her PT."

"Interesting. And what do you know about AJ, sorry Aurora, now?" James lifts a brow wanting me to open up more.

"We had a trial session on Monday, that's when I found out that AJ is Aurora and my new client. Her friend in is a relationship with Dean, the other PT. So we had our first actual session alone yesterday and she went fucking crazy at me when I told her the session was over, jumping on the treadmill when I told her not to. You should see her, she's so petite and it's not healthy for her to be running like that. She clearly has been doing it to herself for a while." I pull my palms down my face before continuing.

"She told me I knew nothing and she needs to run, whatever the fuck that means."

"It sounds to me like she has more going on than what you see on the outside."

I furrow my brows, trying to understand.

"If she needs to run and got angry at you when you told her not to, I think maybe she think she needs to run for an outlet mentally rather than physically."

"I get that. I went to the gym more than I should have when I was injured. It was the only thing that kept me going." I bow my head, pushing my fingers through my hair.

"And how do you think you can help her? As her PT of course?"

"I don't know." I shrug.

There is a long silence between us before James decides to speak.

"How are you feeling today-"

"If she shows up tomorrow maybe I can talk to her."

"I asked how you-"

"Maybe we can change her plan to include more advanced circuits, that will-"

"Logan."

I snap my head up the James who has a huge grin on his face.

"Yeah?" My brows pull together, not hearing what he just said.

"You have talked about Aurora for a while, how about we find out how your doing?"

He nods at me as I glance at the clock.
My session is nearly over and all I've talked about is Aurora.

"I'm good." I mutter. How has Aurora gotten into my head so much. I hadn't even realised.

"Do you like spending time with Aurora?"

"What?"

"You already told me you are attracted to her and you have slept with her, now you are her PT and the fact you haven't stopped talking about her since you sat down in that chair." He gives me a knowing look.
