Lab Rats: Chase and Kate

Chapter 5

Kate's POV:

I waited until ten minutes after the bell rang before I went into the gym. In that ten minutes, I went into my room, made my hair look presentable, put on a little lip gloss, and changed into some nicer training clothes. I assumed that this was going to be a training session so I might as well look cute while doing it. I had on a black tank top and black yoga pants. Just before I walked out the door I re did my ponytail and then jogged to the gym.

I walked down the vacant hallway and slowly opened the gym door. The gym was completely vacant, but I could hear someone hitting a punching bag and grunting.

I walked in and went to the water cooler, I figured it would be best to hydrate before this.

"Hey Kate." Someone said right behind me.

I screamed and dropped my cup.

"Woah, hey its just me."

I turned around and saw Chase. He was wearing a tight black muscle shirt that really showed just how muscular he was.

I felt myself blushing like an idiot, for dropping the cup. Good thing it was empty.

Chase laughed. "You okay?"

I half smiled and nodded.

"Good. Now let's start with some punching exercises. Now I know you've gotta have some fire in you and I want to see that." Chase said.

I nodded and stood in front of the punching bag, put my guard up and began punching.

"Not like that." Chase said. "You gotta punch like you mean it, and turn your fist like that, okay?"

I nodded and made the corrections.

"Good! It'll make your punched more powerful if you tighten your core." He put one hand in my stomach and one hand on my back. "Tighten your stomach when you punch."

I could feel the warmth of his hands through my shirt, and froze a little. I began blushing again.

"Tighten your stomach and punch." He said, his hands still on my stomach.

I began punching, making his corrections, and noticed my punches were a lot more powerful.

After about ten minutes of punching, we moved to kicking.

"Kick me." Chase said.

I nodded and kicked.

He caught my foot, twisted, and pushed it down. I fell.

"Make it quicker, if your too slow, that can happen." Chase said, helping me up.

"Again."

I kicked again. He did the same thing.

"Higher, faster!" He said.

I kicked higher and quicker.

"Good. Now do the other leg, remember, high and fast." Chase said.

I nodded and switched to the other leg and kicked.

"Good!" Chase said.

We went on like this for a couple minutes, then we switched to self defense.

"I'm going to punch and your going to block, okay?" Chase said.

I nodded.

He punched, I blocked, he punched, I blocked, punch, block, punch, block.

"Good. Now I kick, you block." Chase said.

He kicked, I blocked, he kicked, I blocked, kick, block, kick, block.

"Good. Now let's spar for real." Chase said.

My eyes widened.

"Don't worry. I'll go easy, but not too easy, because I want you to get better." He said.

I nodded and put my guard up. He put his up as well.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Yes." I said.

He kicked and I blocked. He looked at me and smiled. I punched, he blocked. I smiled. Then he punched harder and faster, I blocked the punches, then I kicked harder.

Then before I knew it we were both sparing as hard as we could, seeing who would win. But I was worried, because he is much more trained than I am. I got distracted and he was able to land a kick and punch.

I fell on my back, uninjured. He carefully climbed on top of me and pinned my wrists above my head.

"You did really good. I was surprised at how long you kept up. Tomorrow I'm going to put you up against Sebastian and your going to kick his ass, alright?" Chase said.

I smiled and nodded.

"Good." He said, smiling back.

He lingered on top of me, he was looking into my eyes and I was looking into his.

"Um.." He said.

"Hey Chase?" I asked.

"Yeah?" He said, he looked taken aback, because that was the longest sentence i'd ever said to him.

"Do you..." I started to say, but "want to go out with me" only was spoken inside my head, because I choked on the words. So this is what came out:

"Do you...mind getting off me? My muscles are stiffening and I gotts stretch them out." I said.

"Oh, um yeah, so sorry." He said, he released my wrists and got off my torso and helped me up.

We were both stretching in silence, until I broke it.

"Hey Chase? Could you train with me some more tomorrow? I feel like I should work at it some more." I said.

He smiled. "Yeah, sure, i'd love too."

"Great! Thanks." I said.

We both grabbed our stuff and left the gym.

"So I'll see you in the gym tomorrow at 3?" Chase asked.

"Yep." I said.

"Great, its a date." Chase said.

I stopped and turned to look at him, but he was walking fast in the other direction.

I faced front again, blushing, and smiling.
