The Girl With Two Minds

Chapter 10

Today was gym day... I wasn't excited about this day at all!

Theo and I were gonna workout together and I was super sleepy but Theo had already set up million annoying alarms in my phone without telling me so that I had no option but to wake up.

I'm not a morning person. Why can't we workout in the evening or something? Why at 5:30am?!

When I reached the gym, Theo was already there lifting weights. He noticed me and took one of his earphones out
"Morning Kia, ready to burn all the nachos?"

Huh? He got me the nachos and I've to get up so early to shed the carbs I got because of HIS nachos? I struggled for 10 minutes to braid my hair so that I could burn his stupid nachos?! That wasn't fair at all!

I went on to do my weekly routine starting with Sled pushes. As I grasped the bars of the sled and leaned over at the waist placing my torso above parallel to the ground, I pushed the sled as fast as I could by driving my legs in relatively short, choppy steps.

After doing around eight 40-yard sled pushes, I stopped for a quick break.Not long until I noticed Theo, every muscle of his torso being contracted and then flowing into relaxed. He was a living work of art, the girth of his head, knees, instep, waist and his hardly altered calves were perfectly toned too. His sweaty skin so tempting to touch, every move giving away his strength.

His eyes were full of determination and locked onto the way his muscles move. I edged closer until I could see his face, it was serious like I'd never seen before.

"Get back to your routine little ant!" Theo said to me all of a sudden
"Little ant?" I ask him furiously
"Yeah not because you're smaller than me but because you're freakishly strong! I saw you do your sled pushes and oh my! you're like those ants carrying several times their own body weight. Have you not seen it on discovery channel or something, it's awesome!"
"Oh then its cool, I like little ant" I smile and say
"Good now get back to your routine!" Theo was acting bossy, just like my mom!

What now?!! He makes me get up so early and now I don't even get a bonus to drool over his perfect physique?!

*******
After finishing our workout at 7:00, I went to refill my bottle.

When I returned, I sucked in a sharp breath as Theo's shirtless torso was exposed to me. Gawking wouldn't quite describe my state. I was shocked, stunned, wonder struck, mesmerized by his bare physique. His body was drool-worthy. He had a chiseled chest and the skin on it was glowing healthily. His abdominals were sculptured to perfection as his six-packs pop, instantly giving off the impression that he came out of a Calvin Klein shoot. I bet I won't forget about how his arms looked for years. His biceps and triceps looked like diamonds- really rare ones, indeed- and completing his masterpiece of a bodice, his shoulders, round and protruding, give his whole look a new flavour.

I wanted to extend my hands and touch him but I also didn't want to creep him out.

Look at me, notice me, know me, HOLD me- I kept begging him mentally, hoping that it shows in my eyes and that he would be able to decipher my feelings.

But nothing happened, I just stood there admiring his body and addressing these weird new feelings I was experiencing...
