The Broken Footballer | Alerrie

Chapter 23 - Slut Era commences

I apologize for the cringy thing i wrote. I wanted to try something new.

"How are you feeling without your beau, mate?"

Kara smiled innocently at Alex.

She was doing leg work at the gym. It was a slow day so she had time to banter with her coach. It had been almost a week since Perrie was gone and Alex was a little less energetic than usual. They talked and texted all the time but it wasn't the same. And the reminder that soon enough this will be their everyday weighed him down.

"We don't say beau, mate" he used her ridiculous accent back to her.

"Oh so we're sulky I see." Kara didn't lose a bit.

"Oh to be in love and apart." Melissa joined their banter.

Alex rolled his eyes.

"Keep working." he let them to check on another client.

That day only two of them showed up but even in half capacity they were a handful.

Alex headed to the other woman that had asked for his help. She was a tall blonde with blue eyes, she was on her legs day from what it seemed.

"Hope, how are we doing?" He greeted her.

Hope was relatively new to the gym it was only her second week, she came in alone as she was new to the city and she wanted to tone up a bit especially in the legs.

The young woman had tried her chances with Alex at first, she had smiled batted her eyelashes and even had mentioned that she was a single bi woman but he had made sure that she knew he was not interested.

"Alex, I'm pretty sure you're trying to kill me with these exercises."

"You're not the only one he's trying to kill."

Alex turned to see that Kara and Melissa had forgotten their own workouts and were now standing behind them. Well Melissa was while Kara had already moved passed him.

"I'm Kara" she had smirked to Hope and leaned on the machine the other girl was working on.

"Hope," the blonde woman smiled and stood up from her machine.

She was taller than Kara which only made the girl smirk wilder and ran her eyes towards the new girl's body

"I'm Mel" Melissa tried to intervene but no one paid her any attention.

"I'd say whatever course he has you on, it's definitely working." Hope tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled to the ground at Kara's comment.

"Thank you" she finally told Kara and bit her lip just for a second.

Alex raised his eyebrows. This just happened so fast. He scratched his head and turned towards Melissa. The older girl just shrugged.

"Coach, wanna show me that exercise again?" Mel managed to get the two of them out of that awkward situation.

Alex quickly mumbled to the other women where he'd be if they needed him and they strutted away from them.

"Is she always this fast?" Alex asked Melissa when they were out of ear shot.

"Honestly, it's more complicated than a yes or no answer."

"Wanna tell me?"

"Well, Kara always likes to flirt, not like that," she moved her hands to all that situation, "but she's a flirt. Or she was. She's stopped doing that, the girls and I have noticed, she's oblivious to people checking her out, and she stopped.
