Chapter 2 - New friendship and a kept promise Pt. 2

Days later, Mikasa fulfilled her promise, meeting Nina in the parking lot in front of the gym. They embarked on their workout routine together, taking breaks in between to engage in quick chit-chats. Even after finishing their training, they would head home together, relishing in the refreshing company of one another. Despite working in different areas, their training sessions were something that Nina looked forward to every day for almost two weeks straight.

After a long day, Nina and Mikasa indulged in an after-workout shower in the luxurious women's restrooms. Nina couldn't help but steal a glance at her friend's chiseled six-pack, feeling a tinge of envy. However, Mikasa noticed but didn't give her a disapproving glare, further cementing their bond of trust and understanding.

"You wanna touch it? I won't bite.....much." With a mischievous smile, she playfully taunted Nina, causing her to blush a rich shade of crimson as she attempted to conceal her embarrassment by turning away.

"If.....it's ok with you..... I mean.....we're both women so.....", her speech faltered, yet Mikasa merely indulged in a soft chuckle at her admirable composure.

"Then I wouldn't have told you to, silly. Bt only under one condition!" With a sense of intrigue, Nina pivoted gracefully to meet the gaze of her esteemed companion. "And that would be?"

"You must let me touch your back tattoo! It looks so amazing!" Unexpected and utterly surprising, yet Nina's only condition could have been far worse. "Uhm...okay. Deal. You wanna go first?" Nina turned around, revealing her back adorned with a magnificent tattoo of dragon wings in varying shades of blue and lilac, intertwined with delicate orchid tendrils that gracefully snaked their way over her spine, lending a feminine touch to the artwork. Mikasa's fingers delicately traced the intricate lines of the tattoo, sending shivers down Nina's spine. Despite the suddenness of the touch, Nina quickly settled into the new situation, relishing the sensation of Mikasa's hand gliding over her back. The tattoo, now three years old, was a testament to Nina's impeccable taste and her appreciation for the finer things in life. As Mikasa's touch subsided, Nina let out a contented sigh, basking in the afterglow of the luxurious experience.

"It looks so beautiful, Nina." She turned around, still flushed but also flattered at her compliment.

"Well....uhm.....thanks. Mind if I....??", she asked carefully. As though Mikasa had an innate ability to perceive Nina's disquietude, she delicately placed her hand upon her shoulder and bestowed upon her a gentle gaze, accompanied by a serene smile. "Be my guest. Go ahead."

With gracious consent, she delicately extended her hand to caress the chiseled six-pack with her fingertips. The firmness of her muscles was matched only by the velvety softness of her skin. Tracing the contours of each rippling muscle with her index finger, she could sense the rhythmic cadence of her breathing. The mesmerizing flex of her toned physique beneath her supple skin was a sight to behold. Serene and composed, she exuded an air of effortless elegance. After a brief interlude, Nina gracefully withdrew her hand.

"Wow.....how long did it take you to get this? I wish I had one too."

"What's holding you back? Train harder. I'm sure you can do it!" With a gentle nudge, she implored her dear companion to take a leap of faith. Alas, Nina remained hesitant, her mind plagued with doubt and uncertainty.

"I don't know. I'm not sure if I can do this on my own. I like training with you, but I guess I need someone to encourage and push me during to surpass my limits you know. Training alone is very boring. As times goes by I lose my motivation and become careless, resorting to bad habits."

Upon the completion of their cleansing ritual, the two elegant ladies gracefully made their way to the luxurious changing room. Nina, with her keen eye for detail, noticed that Mikasa appeared to be lost in thought, as if she were transported to another realm entirely. As they began to towel off and prepare to don their casual attire, Mikasa's countenance suddenly shifted, a sly grin spreading across her face. Nina was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected reaction, her heart racing with a hint of trepidation.

"Is something wrong Mikasa?"

With an air of nonchalance, she retorted with a sly grin, "I've got the best idea ever! What would you say If I organize a trainer for you? I know the perfect person for that job and he owes me a big favor. What do you say?"

So this was the subject of her contemplation. To acquire a personal trainer would be a most desirable indulgence, but the question remains: how shall Nina remunerate such a professional?

"Don't worry about money. I said he owes me a favor. That means you don't have to pay him." In this moment, Mikasa appeared to possess the ability to discern Nina's innermost thoughts. The notion of an unfamiliar gentleman providing her with complimentary training left her feeling uneasy. However, this was an unparalleled opportunity. Nina had long contemplated the prospect of engaging a personal trainer, but had been thwarted by financial constraints or a dearth of incentive. Mikasa's proposition was an irresistible proposition that Nina simply could not decline.

"Agreed! Do it!" Mikasa then pulled out her smartphone to hold it up in Nina's direction "Wait! What are you doing? Don't take a photo now! I'm just wearing a towel!"

Mikasa laughed "That's the point! Now take a natural pose and don't move. I have to show my friend what is waiting for him." As Nina savored the opulent ambiance, a sudden click of the camera shattered the tranquility. Alas, it was too tardy to evade the lens.

"Trust me Nina. I will meet up with my friend and show him your photo. I'm sure he will help you. Now let's get dressed! We lost enough time already!"

With a sense of uncertainty still lingering, Nina and Mikasa adorned themselves in their finest attire, ready to depart from the gymnasium. As they bid each other farewell, Mikasa reassured Nina once more of their agreement and urged her to return the favor soon.

After a day of rigorous training, Nina finally arrived at her abode, feeling more fatigued than ever before. The slightest deviation from her routine often sent her spiraling into a state of panic, and this day was no exception. As she settled onto her couch, Nina sought solace in her laptop, indulging in a few rounds of video games to alleviate her stress.

However, as the night wore on, Nina's tranquility was abruptly interrupted by the incessant ringing of her phone. Who could possibly be calling her at such an ungodly hour? The mystery of the caller only added to her already mounting anxiety.

Upon the illuminated screen, the name "Mikasa" flickered, causing Nina to momentarily regret her unyielding inner voice. With a resigned sigh, she accepted the call, only to be met with Mikasa's profuse apologies for the late hour. However, the urgency of the matter could not wait until the morrow.

Mikasa had managed to secure the services of a personal trainer for Nina, and he was eager to meet her. Nina was taken aback by the sudden surge of excitement that coursed through her, causing her to emit a few joyous squeals. Mikasa revealed that she had arranged a meet and greet with the trainer at the gym, and it was to take place this coming Friday - a rather expeditious timeline indeed!

"Wait Nina! Before you hang up, his name's Erwin. He's a tall, blonde man. You can't miss him. See you on soon. Bye". With a graceful gesture, she terminated the call. As she retired to her opulent chambers, her mind was ablaze with anticipation. The mere thought of Friday sent her heart racing with delight. Sleep was a distant dream, for she was now consumed by an insatiable excitement. Alas, the prospect of a grueling day at work loomed ahead, but she remained undeterred, for her spirit was invigorated by the prospect of what lay ahead.
