i was outside the gym holding a paper bag.
you could do this
i entered the building.
still panting from jogging up to here.
i never once tried to take a cab to the gym.
it's a waste of money.
suddenly my breathing stopped when i saw him.
he has just hopped off the treadmill.
and
he
took his shirt off.
all the girls here stared at him
at his buff bare chest
his toned abdomen.
unlike them i closed my eyes.
not only that but i covered them.
"what are you doing?"
then i heard his voice.
little by little i took my hands off my face.
opened my eyes to see his...
really
really
exposed torso
"ugh... i got you something."
i handed him the paper bag.
"it's just to repay you for your favor. it doesn't mean anything else."
he took the bag and opened it.
inside it was a few home-bake cookies.
since i was used to making low calorie cookies i decided to make some for him.
"they're low fat so don't be afraid to eat them."
he sniffed them before eating.
"why do you have to sniff them?"
i rolled my eyes at him.
"i just made sure you didn't poison them."
he chuckled.
i didn't know why but seeing him eat made me feel...
it made me feel...
"are you just gonna stare while i eat?"
i realized that i stared at him and snapped myself out of it.
"oh i..."
"eat."
he handed me a cookie.
"no i'm not hungry."
then my stomach rumbled.
as if it knew what was happening.
"don't think so."
he pulled my arm making me sit beside him.
"i really don't need to—"
he shoved the cookie into my mouth and i ate it.
it tasted good.
i wolfed it down and it was gone within seconds.
"why don't you eat when you know you're hungry?"
i got another cookie.
i chomped it down as i thought about it.
"i just... if i eat i get scared of not loosing weight."
i looked to the ground.
i used to eat so much food but now i hardly even ate.
"you don't have to loose any more weight."
i looked at him.
"if i don't i'll keep being ugly."
i realized i was sweating due to the tension so i wiped it off.
"no."
he stared into my eyes.
i did too.
"you're beautiful."
