I was awoken from someone shaking me. I shot my eyes open to see Michaels face inches from mine. I looked at him confused and cleared my throat.

"Yes, Michael?" I said while moving away from him and standing up.

"You have training today." He replied and awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry."

I nodded and walked to the window looking out. It was a muggy day with rain streaming down from the sky. I sighed at the weather and walked to the room.

"So why were you downstairs last night?" I heard Michael ask while walking in.

"Because I wanted to watch television. I couldn't sleep." I replied with a little smile and grabbed my workout out outfit. "I'm just going to get a shower and we can go." I said while walking to the bathroom.

I stripped down and got into the warm water of the shower. Michael was acting off to me. Maybe because it's early or possibly because we had a date later. He seemed very awkward either way.

I washed up and got out just putting my hair into a bun and dressing in my exercise clothes. I decided against makeup because I'd be only working out anyway.

"I'm ready to go!" I called walking out and shoving my sneakers on.

"Alright." Michael said, nodding.

We took hold of our jackets and got into the car. Michael drove and we stayed silent the whole ride. Normally Michael would comment about something, but he wasn't saying a word which isn't like him.

We pulled up to the familiar warehouse and got out going to the gate. The guards said hello politely and let us through the gates.

"You seem tense." I blurted out at Michael.

"Training isn't going to be easy." He stated, stopping in his tracks. "Not one bit. You're going to hate it. You're going to hate every guy in there. I just don't want to see you all confident because these men are brutal and will bring that down." Michael added.

"I'm sure I'll be ok, but thank you for caring. Don't worry." I chuckled and smiled gently.

"That's what you say now." He answered and wrapped an arm around me walking inside.

I had no clue what his problem was. I honestly don't understand what is so horrible about just working out.

"Bailey! It's nice to see you again! I assume you are here for your training yes?" Mark said smiling at me.

"I am. Michael over here is making it seem like some torture, though." I said giggling.

Mark gave Michael a look and led us into the training room.

We walked into the training room silently. "Hey, I'm Jason." A buff man that appeared to be in his twenties greeted me. "I'll be your trainer."

"I'm Bailey." I said shyly.

"I'll pick you up after training for our date ok?" Michael said bringing my attention towards him.

"Sounds good." I nodded and walked with Jason to the equipment.

~~~~~~

I have to admit that Michael wasn't overreacting. Jason pushed me harder than I've ever been pushed. I walked out to meet Michael in the parking lot. Spotting his car I got in and sat down sighing.

"Believe me now?" He asked chuckling.

"Yes. Just get me home so I can shower." I said groaning.

"No date then?" He asked.

I then noticed the somewhat fancy clothes and how clean Michael had looked. He's extremely good looking.

"I forgot. We can still go out. I just want to clean up and look nice like you do." I said with a little smile.

"I brought your dress with me. Why don't you go shower up while I wait? They have a locker room in there." Michael said and smiled, giving me my bag and my dress.

"Alright. I'll be back then."

I hurried off and went to the showers, washing up. After I was clothed and my hair was blow dried I added some light makeup.

I walked out with my bag over my shoulder and to the car.

"You clean up nice." Michael stated with a wink as I sat down in my seat.

I just chuckled nervously. "Now that's the Michael I know!"

We pulled up to a small Italian restaurant and made our way inside taking a seat. After eating, we talked some.

"So do I have to start killing people now?" I asked.

"No. I don't believe you'll have to." Michael said with a light chuckle. "Unless you are called out for a mission or if you're in danger I think you're fine."

"Good, because I don't have the guts to kill someone." I said laughing softly.

"Well, you're going to have to overcome that." Was all that he said.

Michael payed the bill and we got in the car heading home. The car jolted to a halt and pulled to the side of the road.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"Yeah, there really is. I don't get how most girls would be hopping on my dick while you're just some innocent girl that won't do shit." Michael explained harshly.

"I have respect for myself. I'm not just going to have sex with you because you bought me dinner. Remember, this is our first date? Don't make it our last, Michael or you'll never receive a yes out of me." I said crossing my arms.

Everything to him is about sex. I liked it when he wouldn't ask things like that or comment on things like that.

He sighed and pulled back on the road silently making it home. I walked inside the household and took my shoes off.

"I do have to admit that dinner was lovely and I enjoyed talking to you about things. You don't deserve me yet, but I-I.." I started to say but stopped.

"What?" Michael said, confused.

"You deserve this I suppose." I said and stood up on my tippy toes pressing my lips to his. I pulled back after a few seconds.

"Thank you." I embraced him and walked to bed completely exhausted.

I fell asleep moments after.
