Yoga replaces painting in [Name's] life for the next month and a half. Four days out of the week, she wakes up early to indulge in Neji's time. He spends an hour with her as promised, stretching and strengthening every muscle she has while also fucking her until her voice gives out. As the weeks pass, [Name] finds the stress from Luke's betrayal slipping off her shoulders. She finds peace and her center as she listens to Neji's voice.
"Breathe in. Hold it for eight seconds---one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight---now breathe out. Let your entire body relax," Neji instructs. Eyes closed, [Name] focuses on breathing, counting to eight, and feeling every tense point in her muscles loosen. "Yoga is not an exercise, it is the natural state of mind, the natural state of the body. It is the quietness of the soul, the peace of the spirit and mind. When you indulge in the chaos of the world, you lose your natural state. Through yoga, you can master the inner discord, and feel the subtle energies that course through the world you're grounded to."
[Name] breaks into a smile, a laugh bubbling in her throat. Her eyes open. Immediately, she spots Neji, half-naked, lounging on his yoga mat, carelessly staring up at the high ceilings.
"Bullshit," she laughs. "Are you a damn infomercial?"
Neji rolls his head in her direction and smiles fondly at her. "Just practicing what I'm gonna say to the class of soccer moms and milfs that're gonna waltz in after you leave."
"They believe that nonsense?"
"If they wanna fuck me then, yeah, they do believe it."
[Name] snorts out a laugh. If only those women were in her position, they'd see that Neji isn't as perfect of a person as they think he is. Sure, Neji lives by the yoga and dies by the yoga, but he's a caffeine addict who runs off of coffee or energy drinks. He's particularly proud and cocky with the skills to back it up which not only boosts his ego but also feeds his competitive spirit. He eats once a day because he's too lazy to cook, and when he does eat, it's something from a food truck. It surprises [Name] that he's in good shape at all. But then again, the universe usually blesses the ones who don't deserve it.
[Name] smiles, peering at the man who just blew out her back half an hour ago. Although Neji isn't perfect, she likes that about him. He's very human in the weirdest ways, and although their class status is on opposite ends of the scale, he's closer to understanding reality than any other rich person she's had the pleasure of meeting.
"You know," she starts, standing to her feet, "We've known each other for a while."
He shrugs his broad shoulders. "Kinda. Yeah."
She rolls her eyes, pulling on the clothes that were pretty much discarded the moment she stepped into the building. She has about ten minutes before she has to bounce out of there. "Okay, maybe not a while, but we know one another enough, right?"
"I know your body pretty well," he says with a smirk. She scoffs as she walks up to him, lowering her body to straddle his waist.
"Don't be a perv." Playfully, she swats at his glistening chest, suppressing the grin that wants to crop up. "Anyway, I was hoping---like, maybe, if you want to, if not it's totally fine---"
"Out with it."
For a moment the words hesitate in her throat before spilling out all in one go. "Doyouwanttogoonadate?"
He blinks. "Sure."
With a bit of disbelief in her voice, she confesses, "That was easier than I thought."
Neji chuckles as he holds onto her hips. "If you weren't gonna ask me, then I would've asked you."
"Seriously?"
