My Overweight Love

Chapter 18

"You ready?" Axel asked when I welcome him in front of our door. It's weekend, like he said he accompany me to the gym today.

"You are too early." I protest.

"Am I? I'm sorry, I'm just too excited."

"What so excited about? Your whole body will be sore after this day and you wish you would not leave your bed tomorrow."

"I use to go to the gym before so don't worry."

"As you said. Come in first, I just get myself ready. Coffee?"

"Yes, please."

After I get him coffee, I went to my room to wear a proper outfit for exercise. When I came back to him, I saw him looking our family photo.

"I'm ready." I said to catch his attention.

"I'm just looking your pictures. You're so cute."

"Because I'm so chubby?"

"Not like that. It's better to be healthy and there's nothing wrong to be chubby. Look at this picture, I wonder where your neck hide?" he said smiling.

"You, Devil! Are you bullying me?" I fused.

"Of course not. I told you, I find you so cute." he said.

"If you're already done with your coffee, let's go." I said to changed the topic.

"Yes. Let's go.

On the street, Axel continue talking and open random conversation under the sun while running."Are we still far from the gym?"

"We are almost here. In that building." I said.

"That's good. My jaw is hurting from talking now." he protest.

"Who told you to talk nonstop?"

"I just don't want you to get bored of me."

"Let just walk from here, I'm exhausted." I said to ignore what he said.

"Here's the water." Axel hand me his tumbler.

"Is it okey?" I asked.

"Of course, unless you are picky." he teased.

I give him side eye look before I take his tumbler.

In the gym.

"Ram, nice to see you again." Chad greeted me.

"Yes. You too. By the way I brought a friend. Mr Axel here."

"Is he interested in membership or just hang out with you?"

"I'm here for membership." Axel interrupted.

"Okey, Sir please fill up the form on the counter." Chad said.

"I wait you here." I said to Axel then he walk toward the counter.

"Boyfriend?" Chad tease.

"No."

"Not yet?"

"Impossible."

"Why? You seem so close?"

"His not into men."

"Oh, that's bad. I thought you already found your soulmate." Chad said laughing and that's Axel caught.

"What's happening here?" Axel asked suspicious.

"Nothing serious." I said.

"Can we start?" Axel asked. He looks gloomy.

"Yes Sir, this way."Chad said looking at me teasing.

After a while Chad left us because of other client.

"Who is he?" Axel suddenly asked.

"Chad. Didn't you see his name tag?" I said sarcastic.

"Are you close to him?" Axel asked again with judgement.

"Not really. He's my instructor since I went in this place." I said.

"Is he flirting with you?"

"What?! Of course not. Where do you get that idea?" I said in disbelief.

"Just assumed. Just forget what I said." Axel said.

"Why you looked grumpy?" I asked.

"I'm not."

It's already lunch time when we came back from gym.

"Your back?" Mom greeted to us.

"Yes, auntie. How are you?"

"I'm doing fine Axel. How about you?"

"Same auntie, doing fine too."

"Well, you two can take a shower first while I preparing our lunch. Axel, you can borrow clothes to Ram if you want."

"Can I?" Axel asked.

"Let me see if there something you can wear. Just use the bathroom here." I said.

"No, he can't." Mom suddenly said.

"Why?"

"The toilet clogged."

"But I just use it last night." I said confused.

"Just this morning."

"You can use the bathroom on my mom's room." I said instead.

"No. He can't also. I spyed disinfectant, I'm afraid he will get dizzy from smell."

I look at her accusing. I bet she planning something.

"Axel you can use Ram's bathroom. It's clean." suddenly mom said. Just what I thought.
