An Envious Obsession

Liyahs fear

Chapter 14

I sit Indian style as my new trainer sits in front of me on the mat talking about our next workout plan.

"We will take a break your third day, so we can give your muscles a break."

I nod as I roll my shoulders back in circular motion. I'm feeling real energized, and limbered. My new trainer is a whole bag of ugly so I didn't feel weird about her rubbing on me in any type of way, which she didn't do so I was thankful. She had a nice toned body, nice long blonde hair, and gorgeous blue eyes but her face looked like it got kicked in by a donkey.

She was sweet though, and her work out regiment was actually much more fun.

"Okay so I'll see you tomorrow?" She says getting up from the mat. I nod while grabbing my water bottle.

"You have my number so if you ever have any questions or concerns outside of this place...shoot me a text."

I nod."I'll do that. Goodnight."

"Good night." She waves as she disappears in the back of the building.

My new trainer, her name is Donna and her only open spot was after seven so I took it. I figured after a long day of doing whatever it is I have to do, working out will relieve the pressure. Even though lately life has been drama free, and things have been going extremely well.

I grab my gym bag, and I toss the strap on my shoulder as I push the double door open.

Its mid November, and the winter breeze already has everybody in their homes earlier than usual.

You don't see crack heads standing outside begging for your change, you don't see women walking up and down the strip looking for somebody to satisfy their wallet in return the payment is some washed up... well.. you know.

Unlocking my car door I get in, and head straight home.

As soon as I walk in the house, the house is dark, not a peep or sound is being made. I kick my sketches off, and I jog lightly upstairs to my bedroom, and I peek in to see my bed empty. I flicker the light on, and I let my gun ball fall to the floor.

I start to undress as I head to my bathroom. But before I got completely undressed I decided to go check on my baby, let her know I was home.

Walking down the hall in my spandex tights, and crop top I knock lightly on Aaliyah's room door.

"Come in."

I peek my head in, and she looks up at me and smiles without showing any teeth.

"Hey, I just got in....what are you up too?" I ask stepping in as I closed the door behind me. I walk over to her as she pushes her temporary glasses up onto her forehead.

"Hey." She sighs as she types away on a laptop, I didn't even know she had. "And I'm just looking for a job. Apparently I've been laid off, and I'm just now officially hearing about it."

I frown. "Damn..so what kind of job are you looking for?" I ask sitting on the edge of her bed.

"Something with kids, or in a clothing store again."

I nod. "Have you tried the boys, and girls club?"

She nods. "Yep...I just finished an application for a summer camp."

"Okay. I'm about to go take a shower, I'll be right back."

As I rose up from the bed Aaliyah grabbed my wrist. I looked back down at her.
