Chapter 9

Alissa
I woke up with a bright smile on my face , which was really weird actually .

I turned my head and saw Zach sleeping there . His mouth was open and he was drooling , not a very pretty sight but at least he's here .

I smiled while looking at him . ( Not in a creepy way )

But the thoughts of him probably cheating on me came to my mind and I growled silently at him , my face kinda turning red because of the anger .

I shaked the thought off and Zach started waking up .

~~~

" Bye Bye Alissa ." he said as he kissed my cheek and headed out the door for work .

I walked to the middle of my living room and place my hands on my hips.

" What should I do today ?" I asked myself . Then it hit me ! Gym.

I got all my stuff ready and changed into some sport leggings and a sports bra . I got in the car and drove to the gym near my office .

Once I got into the gym , I got weak in the knees when I saw a hot guy by the treadmill .

He had blond hair , blue eyes that sparkled , muscular body and a beautiful face . I fanned myself , is it getting hot in here or what ?!

I brisk walked to the women's locker and placed my bag there . Once I came out , I immediately made my way to the treadmill , right beside hottie over there .

I turned on the treadmill and I got on it the exact same time Mr Hot did . I am seriously about to die , he is so beautiful .

***
I managed to start a conversation with him . His name is Phillip , he is 24 years old and his hobby is WORKING OUT ?! No wonder he has a body that all men dream of having .

I decided to flirt a little with him . I stopped my treadmill while he was still running .

I stood in front of his treadmill and placed both of my arms on it and you know , bend to show a little of my over there , wearing a sports bra today was a good choice .

I twirled my hair , bit my lip and winked at him .

He just stared at me with wide eyes . He opened his mouth to say something but closed it again . He was (I guess )checking me out .

At least I'm actually flirting correctly  , I was thinking that I'll end up tripping and totally embarrassing myself .

I was just standing there waiting for him to say some thing .

" You know ... You're really pretty ..." He said and his cheeks reddened . I smirked and walked on over to stand next to him .

I ran my fingers on his arm ," Just pretty ?" I asked seductively . He gulped but suddenly he wasn't looking at me anyone and was focus on something behind me .

I hushed at him  and turned around . What can be possibly so crazy that is happening behi-

I immediately went pale when I saw a boy on a scooter coming my way , probably 100 miles per hour .

" Watch out !!!" He screamed .

Before I could react and get out of the way . He came crashing into me and he landed right on top of me . " Oww ..."
I winced in pain .

Piece of shit Phillip actually just turned off his treadmill and speed walked away without helping me up . I growled in anger to the boy and also to Phillip.

" Sorry ." The boy apologised and had his head down low ." Next time , be more careful ." I said as I got up and brushed off some dust of myself .

He scootered away and I huffed . I walked to the punching bag and took a deep breath and took out all my anger in the punching bag .

Why did you even think you had a chance with him ? Why am I even interested in a random guy anyway ? What if he's actually a douche ?I have a lovely boyfriend . But I kinda like Edwards . But he's not even real . But he seems so real .

My mind was bombarded with questions and I punched the bag so hard , I knocked over a lady that was walking by .

" Oh ! I'm so sorry !" I stopped and went to help her up .

Once I got her up and saw her face , a scowl appeared on my face .

It was Alexandra .

" Next time ," she leaned in so close our faces were almost touching . " Go punch yourself and die ."

She flipped her hair in my face , pushed me down and sashayed away . I slammed my hands on the floor and mumbled curse words at her .

" Miss ?" a woman said as she offered her hand for me to get up . I gladly took hold of her hand and she pulled me up .
" Thank you ."

The woman was really pretty . She had dirty blonde hair and green eyes . Her figure is amazing ! She smiled , which showed her perfect teeth and she walked away .

" Well this trip to the gym didn't really turn out as I expected ." I said to myself and sighed .

I decided to just head to the showers and go home since I don't want to end up breaking my leg or someone else's .
---

As I head back home after I took a shower in the gym , not to mention that I accidentally walked into the male showers and saw Phillip . To make matters worse , he dropped his towel and I was blinded .

" Give me love " by Ed Sheeran is playing now and I can't help but to sing along . My eyes popped out when I saw a puppy crossing the road . I immediately stopped the car and got out .

I hit the poor puppy , it was bleeding . I gently picked up the puppy . I'm gonna go home and clean it up . Maybe I'll even keep it as a pet .

I quickly rushed home . Once I got home , I rushed to the toilet with the puppy in my arms . I tried to wash it up but it kept on bleeding .

Maybe Edwards is watching me now . I can ask for his help .

I looked up and whispered , " Edwards ? Help , please ."

I waited , praying for him to be there . I waited there for about 30 seconds but still no response . I sighed and looked back down at the puppy .

" Sorry cutie ." I frowned . Just as I said that , some white sparkles start raining down . My frown turned into a smile .

I held the puppy as if it was my baby and let him do the magic . Soon , the puppy didn't have a scratch and looked perfect . It's fur looked softer than a cloud and whiter than snow .

I looked up at the mirror and it wrote ,     ' So Gorgeous '

I raised my eyebrows ," Me or the puppy ?" I questioned into thin air , but I know he was listening .

' The puppy ' it wrote on the mirror .

I looked back down at the puppy and frowned .

Is it weird that I was hoping that he was talking about me being gorgeous instead of this cute little dog ?
