Right after our wedding, Jared's firm transferred him to Chicago, and I couldn't move with him due to my job. After seven months, I joined Jared and am excited to start a new chapter of my life. It took me a whole week to set everything in our place as I wanted. While having dinner, I looked at Jared. "I asked you about the gym."
Jared nodded. "Yeah, I remember, and you can join from tomorrow and use our premium membership."
I got excited. "Are we going to the gym together?"
Jared stopped eating and shook his head. "No, I go in the evening after work so you have to go alone."
I nodded and asked. "So, should I tell them your name for the premium membership?"
Jared resumed eating and smiled. "Yeah, tell them you are Jared's wife."
I squinted. "If they know every member by name, it must be a small gym. I told you I want the..."
Jared cut me off. "Just go tomorrow and if you don't like it, I'll change your gym. Happy?"
I sighed and smiled. "Okay."
The next morning, when I entered the gym, my eyes widened. It was huge and beautifully designed. My eyes stuck at the reception, a perfectly symmetrical face. Dark, intense eyes, chiseled jaw, straight nose, and slightly curved but full lips. He noticed I was staring at him but ignored me and continued talking to other clients standing at the reception.
I walked up to him with my weak knees and smiled. "Hi, my husband has a premium membership here and I would like to join from today."
Intense eyes looked at me and then flicked his eyes to the system placed before him. "Your husband's name, please?"
I don't know why but when he spoke, I felt butterflies in my stomach. He looked at me when I didn't respond. I shook my head and cleared my throat. "Jared."
Intense eyes confirm my husband's name. "Jared Harrison?"
I made a thin line of my lips and nodded. Intense eyes looked at me. "Mrs. Harrison, would you like to have any trainers?"
I corrected him. "I would prefer you to call me. Maya."
I thought he would share his name as well but damn, he nodded and asked again. "Maya, would you like to have any trainers?"
I slumped my shoulders and shook my head. "I want to use every amenity by myself."
Intense eyes typed something in his system and pointed to his right. "You can take your card from that desk and start your day."
My heart sank and I turned around but he called my name and I turned back to see why he called me. Intense eyes smirked and I felt heat between my thighs. "My name is Aaron."
I was taken aback. Fuck did he hear me when I was desperate to know his name? I didn't know what to do so I nodded without any smile on my face and headed to take my card.
I instantly rushed to the pool because I wanted to stay in the water to kill my forbidden desires for Aaron. When I was about to dive in, I heard him instructing a group of people. I regretted not taking the trainer but I was wondering: is he the receptionist or the trainer?
I think the universe is playing something against me. I decided to swim to forget about Aaron and he spent the whole two hours near me guiding people on how to swim. I had no strength to go away from him. Every time I was looking at Aaron, he caught me, and then I flicked my head in another direction.
Underwater or speed, nothing was helping so I decided to stay in a corner and leaned back at the wall of the pool. I threw my head back and kept my arms on the cool floor. I closed my eyes, trying to distract my mind by thinking random stuff.
