92. Meeting Him At The Gym

Harry: You’re just about to give up on the treadmill, reaching to turn the speed down when a boy steps onto the one beside you. He’s attractive and upon closer inspection, he’s Harry Styles. “Hey” he breathes, coming to a jog beside you and nods. “Hi” you breathe, pressing the button down until you’re at a brisk walk. “Two miles… that’s a run” he says and you nod, watching as a light sheen of sweat forms on his forehead and you lose your concentration and stumble. Time to move on, you tell yourself. “See ya” you tell him, closing your eyes because that was lame and wonder off towards the weights. “Fancy seeing you again” Harry says, stopping in front of the ab machine you’re on. “Following me?” you tease and he smiles. “Maybe” he says, leaning back as you lift your legs outwards. “If I had your name I would” he adds, a smile forming on his lips and you glance around to find way more people in the gym than usual. “It’s (Y/N)… you bring all these people with you?” you question, jumping down on wobbly legs and he shrugs. “Permanent entourage” he offers and you chuckle. “They can’t follow me in the sauna though” he tells you and you smile, taking his out stretched hand and follow him through the gym because, why the hell not? “YOLO” you tell yourself, stripping down to your underwear and chalk this up to being light headed from your workout.

Liam: You were not aware that working out meant dressing for the club. You glance down at the tie-dyed spandex shorts, sleeveless t-shirt, and Nike tennis shoes and feel completely out of place compared to the girls in bodycon dresses and heals. You twirl a piece of hair as you step around them, headed towards the elliptical when you notice Liam Payne at the bunching bags and suddenly, it all makes sense. You go about your workout, wiping the sheen of perspiration from your forehead as you finish your cardio and step down. You gasp when you collide with a strong chest, firm hands grasping your hips to keep your upright and you look up. “Sorry love” Liam apologizes, staring down at you with a smile that your return. “It’s alright” you tell him, stepping back and he gives you a once over. “At least your dressed for a workout” he jokes and you nod. “Wasn’t aware I was supposed to dress like a slut but hey, to each their own” you say, shrugging as you turn towards the weights to find they’re all taken. “I could teach you boxing… if you want an upper body workout” he offers and you smile, accepting his offer because it’s Liam Payne and just don’t say no to him.

Niall: You noticed him immediately, his blonde hair sticking out. You keep your focus on the treadmill, walking briskly because you’re not a runner. You need something to focus on so, why not Niall Horan? He’s lifting weights, his biceps straining with the added weight and you appreciate the extra time he’s putting in. It’s obvious he doesn’t work out often but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what he’s doing. He moves through the motions fluidly, moving on to the ab machine and you stumble on the treadmill when he lifts his legs upwards. “This one taken?” he asks several minutes later after you’d forced yourself to look away from his sweaty body. “No, go ahead” you tell him with a smile, watching as he steps up beside you and starts pressing buttons. “I think it’s broken” he says with a sheepish smile. You step onto the sides of the machine and lean over, pressing a finger to a few buttons before hitting the start button. “Sometimes, they’re tricky” you tell him, stepping back onto your machine as he starts running. “Thanks love” he says and you smile. “I’m Niall” he offers and you chuckle to yourself. “(Y/N)” you say, glancing at his reflection in the mirror every once in a while to find him doing the same and every once in a while your eyes would meet.

Louis:  Just because you were staying the night in a hotel didn’t mean you were going to skip out on your workout. You walk down to the gym and notice the hallway is rather crowded. You look around at all of the girls standing around and notice they were dressed in rather odd attire, especially for the gym. So strange that you actually look down at your sweats worried that you stuck out too much.  The security guard outside of the door motions you over. You show him your room key and he opens the door for you. You walk over to the sign-in sheet and notice how empty the gym actually was. You fill in the chart and turn around to choose your weapon. As you look around you notice there’s two rather large men starring at you. You smile and nod at them and make your way to the punching bag. You had had a very stressful day and were missing your bag at home. You wrap your hands up and commence to beating the hell out it. It isn’t long though before you feel a presence standing behind you. “Damn girl,” you hear turning around to meet the gaze of a very good looking guy. “Did you have a bad day?” He asks. “Kind of, yeah,” you say turning back to continue with your workout. But before you go back to punching you turn back around to look at him again. “They’re out there for you aren’t they?” You ask him acknowledging the mass of overly dressed girls outside. “I would like to think no, but then again I know it isn’t true,” he says rolling his eyes. “Aren’t you that…”you begin to say. “No! Don’t say it, because if you say it then I will have to go crawl in a hole somewhere. I can’t go anywhere without people hoarding me, so please, don’t say it,” he says interrupting you. “I was just going to say aren’t you that guy from 3197,” you say with a wink.

Zayn:  You open the door to the gym of your hotel and walk in noticing how empty it was. Except for the three giant men strategically placed around the room and the one guy at the weight stand. You ignore the weirdness and make your way over to the elliptical. You can’t help but notice that the beefed up man standing to the right of you in the corner is staring you down. “Andy stop, and come spot me” the guy lifting weights says. “She’s on our floor anyways, she’s supposed to be here,” he explains. You turn around to notice that the guy is smiling at you and the guy in the corner walks away from you to help spot him.  You turn around to continue your workout but shortly after the guy had moved from the weights over to the elliptical beside of you. “So you don’t know who I am do you?” He asks with a smile. “Oh I know who you are,” you say not acknowledging that he had moved beside of you. “And what do you think?” He prudes yet again. “About you? I think that you’re going to have to be on more than a level one to get any kind of workout from the elliptical,” you say pointing out he was barely moving. He looks down at the machine and then back up at you, “Maybe I wasn’t really over here to work out.” “Are you sure?” You say sarcastically, causing him to laugh as he continues to ask you questions during your real work out and his obvious fake one.
