Fame and Shame

Chapter 4

I wake up feeling exhausted and it's about 6:45am. Lazily I get up, head down to the kitchen to make a coffee and to my suprise West is already there.

"Morning Aubrey. You might want to go and get some gym clothes on. One of the rules require us to train together at least twice a week so I thought we would start now that your settled."

"Ok. I will go get dressed. Which gym are we going to?"

"My gym downstairs. Meet you there in 10 minutes."

His abrupt exit leaves me exhausted and unprepared. Hopefully he is an easy gym goer...I doubt that. My feet carry me to my new room and I get changed into a pair of tight, black running leggings and a black tank top. It hugs my pale skin tightly. My gaze rests on my reflection in the mirror, I know I'm not ugly but I also know that West could do better.

Before I put myself down too much I go to meet West in the gym; it doesnt take me too long to find it. Of course, it is a large white-walled room with lots of different gym equipment. I'm impressed.

After admiring the architecture I glance over to the stunning structure of Mr Riley, my boss. He is waiting impatiently by a few matts and bars.

"Nice of you to finally show up Aubrey."

"You're lucky I am here at all West. Lets just get this over and done with so I can get on with some work."

"Basically, every Tuesday morning we will be working on strength and indurance. This means running, spinning, swimming, etcetera etcetera etcetera. Just basic training to keep you in shape."

"That doesn't sound so bad but I definately cannot run for longer than 30 seconds." I snort at my own humourous comment but West just stares me down with a chiding glare before continuing.

"Then on Thursdays we will focus on building muscle and toning. Therefore, sit ups, planks, weights, squats, blah blah. I want you to take this seriously. You never know, it might make you feel better in general."

"I got it. Toning and squats and more! How lucky am I?" My faceousness irks him but he brushes it off.

"Lets start with some stretches whilst its Thursday and then we can move on the fun part."

I have always been quite flexible therefore the following stretches were fairly easy for my to undertake however West looked uncomfortable.

"You should stretch more West. Maybe then you could touch your toes without having a heart attack." I mock and he doesn't seem impressed. "You never know, it might make you feel better in general." I imitate his previous statement.

"How about you pay attention to what your doing so you don't fall or hurt yourself."

"I'm fine? What do you-"
Without warning West pushes me with so much force I fall back but not before I can grab him and take him with me. I come to realise that this probably wasn't the best idea as West's body could crush me. However he puts his arms down first which takes some of the blow and I feel trapped under his frame.

His mouth is inches from mine as I feel his breath on me and his body on mine.
"What were you saying Aubrey?"
He gives me a cheeky grin before placing his hand on my cheek, moving it under my chin and pulling me towards his soft lips. I should probably object...but I can't!

"West I get that you can get any girl that you want but stop. I'm not going to be another one of the girls that you sleep with because you're bored. I work hard and it pays off and I wouldn't be as well off as I am now if I hadn't worked my ass of for the past 6 years! So you can't just ruin everything now by making me your next fling and then slaughtering me to the press. I won't do it."
