Table Manners

Oh, What a Surprise

I wake up around 6:15 and Thomas is already awake. He wasn't in bed anymore. I decide that I'm going to be productive while he's at work and not sit around.

I get up and put on the workout clothes I brought and I find Thomas. I was looking all over the penthouse. But I heard him on the phone downstairs in a room with the door cracked.

"No, it's fine. I SAID ITS FINE!  I will handle it. Since you're incapable." I jumped at his scream. But I just knocked.

"Come on Alesa." I walk in and he scans my body up and down. I had on pink bike shorts, a pink sports bra, and pink Nike runners.

"Where are you going?"
"I wanted to know if there's a gym in your complex, if not I can just run around the park."
"Is that what you wear to workout in?"

I mean yes? It's on my body, isn't it?

"Yeah, I get really sweaty and I don't like a lot of material."
"Hmm...yeah there's a gym. I'll get the key for you."

He gets up and walks out of the room. I follow behind him eyeing him. He's acting so strange, and I don't get why. I decide not to ask him.

"Here, come back when you're done. I took the day off so we can do something."
"Aww, that was really nice of you. I appreciate you doing that."

I was attempting to put my hands out to hug him...but I remember what he said last night. So I quickly retreat back.

"Okay well, I won't be long." I leave and find the gym.

Thomas POV

I watched Alesa walk out the door. The conversation we had last night when she apologized for touching me really rang true with her.

She was about to hug me a moment ago and didn't. In a way, I wish she did hug me. And she was so excited because I told her I took the day off to be with her. That wasn't a big deal to me. But it just shows me how down to earth she is.

While she's gone I decide to cook breakfast for her and clean. Since I did all of my work early this morning I was done for the day. It's been an hour since she left and she strolls back in. She still has in her AirPods singing.

"OH MY" she placed her hand over her heart when she sees me. 
"You scared me." She still had sweat dripping from her body. Her skin looked so smooth. She really was a beautiful woman. I took the time to admire her. How she looked, her complexion, her frame, her face, everything about her was ravishing.

"Well I'm making you breakfast, go shower. It should be finished when you are."
"Okay," she switches off to the steps and goes up.

Alesa POV

I get upstairs and sling my sweaty clothes off and throw them on the floor I'll deal with them once I'm out. I put my braids into a bun and get in the shower.

"I need round two, I need the sequel..." I sing, and sing, and sing some more. As I take my shower. 

30 minutes later I get out and dress. I praise myself for bringing something cute.
