just love me

Chapter 2 : Sparks will fly

" It may seem like our fire Has been a little burnt out, We're tired We only need to stay close In time, Sparks will fly (And we fly too, and we, and we, and we fly too),  I know my style ain't perfect I know my smile ain't perfect, Nigga ain't perfect, it's true, Funny though I'm perfect for you" I mumbled as I racked the squat rack.

I was finally done with my work out and I was grateful because I was ready for some food.

I picked up my things then went and sat down away from the machines so I could stretch. I opened my legs and reached up. I felt eyes on me from somewhere and looked around until I made eye contact with some guy.

I furrowed my eyebrows and he quickly looked away. I shook my head just ignoring it because some men are just gonna be creeps regardless. I stretched down the middle and reached up again to see the same guy looking at me again.

" Alright this is getting weird" I mumbled.

I looked away and continued my stretching closing my eyes so I didn't have to continue to acknowledge the staring but boy, do I wish I did because I opened my eyes to him being feet away from me with an awkward smile.

I jumped back a bit, scrunching my face up.

" is there a problem" I said as calm as I could.

" No i- uh-" he cleared his throat sensing the little bit of anger in my tone. " I'm John- John Gaines and I was really impressed by your stamina on the treadmill earlier then you went into your sets, then super sets-" he stopped talking once he saw the look on my face.

" I'm sorry I literally just sound like a stalker, I work here i'm a fitness coach and I see you killing it when you come in, most of the time you come in with your girlfriend and I've been wanting to come up to you but I didn't want it to seem like I was coming over to hit on anyone"

I relaxed at him not trying to hit on me but died of laughter at him referring Nevaeh to my girlfriend. I told her she was scaring the hoes away, she thought I was playing.

He looked at me confused but let out a little chuckle.

" the girl you're referring to is my b-b-bestfriend not my girlfriend" I said letting out a little cough as I caught my breath.

" Oh I'm sorr-"

" You're good dude, don't worry about it" I waved him off.

I heard my music still playing so I quickly paused it drew my attention back to him.

" Well we don't get people who are this good at this gym very often so I was wondering if you'd be up to being my fitness prodigy" He chuckled nervously.

" Your what now" I said confused.

" My fitness prodigy basically we'd just make workout videos together at the gym or if we ever decide to like go on a run, we'd film it and i'd edit it then put it up on my page"

I didn't see the harm in that, plus with me having a trainer on my ass maybe I'll stop skipping gym days to sit in bed and do nothing.

" do I have to pay for any of this" I asked cocking an eyebrow at him.

" No, no , no free of charge, I need more gym friends and you seem pretty chill"

" now how did you get that from this five minute conversation we've had" I chuckled.

" well you ain't kill me for staring at you so there's a start" He let out a laugh.

This doesn't seem like a bad idea.

" Alright John you have yourself a workout partner, prodigy makes me sound like your kid and I don't like that" I shook my head and he let out a loud laugh.
