Finally Free

Thirty-One

"Damn Kasey. 5 minutes 15 seconds" Alex tells me when I cross the line. Garrett and Micah are still running which makes me laugh "I am sorry about before. I didn't mean to be a dick. It's just been a while since Garrett has had a girl and I don't like being the only single person in our group"

"I can handle a lot of shit but that doesn't give you a right to be a dick to me." I point out

"I know. I'm sorry." he says "So can I ask what happened?" Alex asks

"Long story short we broke up he didn't like that he got mad and here we are now. I was on bed rest for the past week because a few of my ribs actually like broke in half and were at risk of stabbing and collapsing my lung."

"What the fuck. How are you so fast?" Garrett asks crossing the line behind me

"Magic?" I laugh "Actually my time was higher than normal for my single mile"

"Okay, what were the times?" Micah asks crossing the line and sitting down

"Kasey 5 minutes 15 seconds. Garrett 6 minutes 02 seconds. Micah 6 minutes 37 seconds." Alex lists off the times before handing me my phone back

"If that is high for you what is your normal mile?!" Garrett questions

"My fastest mile was 4 minutes 28 seconds. My constant single mile is around 5 minutes when I am actually trying. When I am running just to run I usually stay around 5 and a half to 6 and a half minutes" I shrug checking my phone. My sugar is still good and no one has messaged me

"Damn. But um are we gonna lift?" Micah asks as we head over to where our stuff is in the corner.

"Yeah. Kase what are you going to do?" Garrett asks me taking a drink of his water

"I dunno. I probably shouldn't be lifting so I might go do some abs shit in the corner"

"You trying to keep your stomach flat?" Micah asks I give him a what the fuck look to which he quickly responds "Sorry. That's what Gia complains about all the time."

"That doesn't make your question any less weird their bud" I laugh grabbing my earbuds out of my pocket Alex and Micah keep walking but Garrett stops

"Text me if you need anything and don't forget to keep being careful," he tells me

"Yes sir" I mumble

"The gym isn't where I am called sir babe" he winks and bites his lip looking me up and down and I swear I turn bright red and my eyes go so wide "Be careful beautiful" He smiles walking away.

"Holy fuck" I mumble to myself before grabbing a mat from the pile. I plug my earbuds in, go to my Spotify, and press shuffle on my workout playlist, then I go into my workout app thing and find ab, butt, and leg workouts that I like and want to do I go ahead and get started. After finishing my ab and butt workouts I get a text on my phone that seriously makes me laugh. I decide to take a break from my workout and stretch my splits while answering Beth.

From: Beth🖤 - DID YOU DIE OVERNIGHT?!

To: Beth🖤 - NO I DID NOT DIE OVERNIGHT!!

To: Beth🖤 - Nothing really happened last night. After you went to bed he just had me read over his essay and then we went to bed

From: Beth🖤 - Where did you guys sleep? Did you tell him about what happened?

To: Beth🖤 - I slept in his bed. He slept on his futon couch. No, I didn't tell him anything yet.

After pressing send I check the time. It is currently 8 am and I wonder how much longer the boys are going to be here. I lay down in my right split to the point where my stomach is almost completely flat which makes me smile.
