Chapter 73: We Can Work It Out

The next day, Louise was sitting on the couch in the living room watching a program on television with Mary-Beth in her arms. Vic had just arrived from the kitchen to come and join in.

"There's my handsome soldier," Louise said as she smiled once she saw Vic enter the living room.

Vic reached over to the couch and took a seat to give Louise a kiss on the lips. "Yep," he replied. "Here to join my lady and future stepdaughter here."

Mary-Beth smiled at Vic and cooed happily. Vic laughed as he gave Mary-Beth a gentle tickle on the cheek, which caused the infant to giggle.

The couple faced the television to watch a commercial showing a workout kit. The Caucasian woman announcing the workout routine wore her blonde hair in a high ponytail and wore a blue and red spandex workout suit. She was standing adjacent to a muscular Asian man wearing a black tanktop and matching shorts about six inches past his knees.

"This workout routine is great for the entire body," the man announced. "From abs, arms, shoulders, chest, back legs - you name it!"

"Also, if you follow the daily workout routine regularly, you'll be toned and athletic in no time," the woman added.

"Hey Vic," Louise told Vic. "This reminds me. I have been feeling a little out-of-shape lately, and it seems that we need some exercise to work out our bodies. So what do you say we start a workout routine of our own?"

"Come to think of it, I am a soldier that needs to stay in excellent shape in order to have the energy to do what I have been saving my whole career for," Vic agreed. "So yeah. Let's start our own workout routine."

"Great!" Louise cheered, smiling.

"Of course, we'll need some dumbbells, some workout gear, and some music in order to get our work on," Vic told Louise.

"That would be great," Louise said.

"So just stay here and start stretching so you would be warmed up for this workout today," Vic replied as he hopped off the couch and started walking towards the exit.

Vic stepped outside and looked around. There was a soft breeze outside. The cars were steadily moving around the neighborhood of Vice Point. It was beautiful outside. The sun was shining brightly in the light blue sky.

Vic walked over to the Cheetah that was parked by the curb and hopped inside. He started the vehicle's engine and began to drive away right after making a U-turn down the road leading East down. Vic made a left turn on the long road leading straight ahead. He drove straight down until he made another left turn to the parking lot in front of the North Point Mall.

Vic found a parking space and hopped out of the vehicle. He walked to the entrance of the mall inside, where "What's Love Got To Do With It" by Tina Turner was playing in the background. The shoppers were stirring around the area slowly and casually.

Vic just simply walked around the mall and took the elevator. First he went to the sports store to purchase some dumbbells, workout clothing, a workout mat, a pull-up bar, and multiple workout material.

He also walked into the record store to purchase some workout tapes and musical tapes to workout to. Vic was preparing himself for the impending workout he was about to do with his girlfriend and wanted to make sure he got everything he needed.

After buying the material from the stores inside the mall, Vic finally exited the mall and walked up to his vehicle in the parking lot. He entered the vehicle and stuffed everything he bought inside the trunk right before hopping into the driver's seat.

Vic started the engine and slowly drove through the parking lot and back onto the road. It was less traffic out, and the cars on the road were moving rather moderately as well.
