CHAPTER 6

J A C K

We are now on the 4th day of our tour and Sharon woke me up at 7 in the morning and dragged me to the gym.

"Come on, Jack! Don't be a lazy ass!" she said as she pushes me to the treadmill. I can't do anything since we're already here so I just pressed the start button and started running in a slow pace.

I am not a gym person, I rarely go to the gym. My usual exercise routine is stretching and running which only happens once a week. I know, I'm lazy.

I looked to my right to see Sharon already covered in sweat and is running fast! How can she do that? She pressed a button to slow down and she is now basically walking while catching her breath.

She then turned her gaze on me and rolled her eyes. She stepped down on her treadmill and went beside mine. She gulps her water jug and pressed something on the controller which made me run fast!

I protested but she just ignored me. She's watching me like a real gym instructor without any signs of pity. Minutes later she pressed the button that makes the treadmill runs slow.

I quickly jumped out of the treadmill and let myself pass out on the cold floor of the gym. I'm so tired, I feel dizzy.

"Don't lay down!" she said as she lifted me up and made me sit.

"You ran for five minutes and you're already this exhausted?" she gave me my water jug and I gulped it down until the last drop.

I can't talk, I'm so tired, I feel like throwing up, "I'm tired, let's go now..." I said in a low voice. I really feel like I'm going to pass out.

"I know that feeling. It's because you never tried exercising that's why you get easily tired" she stood up, "Lift your arms" she said as she pulls up my wet t-shirt.

As I realized what she did, I immediately covered my belly with my arms, "My abs are exposed" I whispered to Sharon but she just giggled.

She pulled out a new t-shirt and a towel from the bag. She went behind me and started wiping down the sweat that covered my whole body. She made sure to wipe everything before giving me my new t-shirt.

"Thank you, love" I said as I tried to catch her eyes.

"What did you just call me?" she asked in shocked.

"Love" I said and pulled her closer to me. I let her sit on my lap, "Why? You don't like it?" I said as I lean my face closer to hers.

She smacked her lip and averted her gaze, as I was about to lean more closer, she stood up and cleared her throat.

I won, huh.

She gulped down her water jug and zipped the bag, "Come on let's eat breakfast" she said not giving me a look. Oh, look how flustered my little Sharon is.

-

"So where are you taking me?" Sharon asked for the nth time. And I'm ignoring her for the nth time, 'cause I want to surprise her.

She has been wanting to visit a farm and that's where I am taking her.

"No fair..." I can see from my peripheral vision that she crossed her arms while pouting. Aigoo, what a cutie, "This is not part of our itinerary! We're supposed to be resting that's why I've brought you to the gym"

"Trust me, you'll love the place" I said without giving her any looks. I'm trying to concentrate from driving and I am afraid that when I see her sulking, I might spoil the surprise.
