#Chapter6
Both my parents word hard, moms a journalist and dad he owns a car rental company in the City, but they always have time for me which I respect.
I woke up early to head over to the gym, if there is anything in this world that can distract me it's going to the gym.
Back home whenever I was stressed, I would sneak out and go to the gym and spar with my favourite uncle Owen or whoever was available it was almost like a form of therapy for me.
I quietly left the house and walked to the uni gym, I've been there twice this week and I was shocked at how big it was. nothing worst than a small gym where guys just stare at you.
I entered the gym heading straight for lockers. I dumped my bag inside and started to head to the cardio section.
I set myself up on the treadmill and started my 15-minute run. I closed my eyes as the sound of Cardi B was playing through my headphones.
I could feel my legs becoming tired and hot, so I stopped and moved over to the cross trainer to do another 15 minutes on that.
After getting bored with the cardio stuff I cleaned up and headed towards the weights, luckily for me there wasn't that many people here. Maybe they were recovering from the party last night.
I grabbed a pair of weights and started to work on my arms. I could see myself through the large mirror that covered the whole wall entirely. In the corner I could see a guy on one of the big machines he was pumping his arms. Proper beast like.
/"Like what you see princess/" he suddenly called out to me.
My eyes widened, how embarrassing.
/"yeah um sorry/" his voice was dark, deep and actually scary.
/"Rick, stop tormenting my customers/" a guy says walking over.
Rick just rolled his eyes standing up. He wrapped his arm around this guy grinning /"Don't get so touchy Eric, she doesn't mind do you/" he cast a look towards me.
/"No no, its fine it was y fault for staring/" honestly Alexis where the fuck did you leave your backbone.
My eyes moved to the other guy, something about him was familiar maybe I had seen him the other days I was in here.
/"see Ethan, you're stressing for no reason at all/" Rick gave us a mini salute and left the scene. I smiled to myself as he left and turned back around. I decided to carry on with my weights but unfortunately my body wanted to be a baby. I dropped the weight and rubbed my arm.
/"Are you okay?/" I jumped not realising how close he was. he stood with his arms holding onto the wall that separated the weights.
Finally, I was able to really look at this guy.
Jet black hair, dark skin and the greenest eyes I've ever seen. They all made me think back to last night.
/"oh, you were the guy from last night. Thank you for that by the way/" he grinned back at me.
/"Don't thank me I was just doing what any other guy would do/" he says dismissing me.
Might want to think twice about that.
/"Really?/" he seemed to catch onto what I was suggesting.
He laughed moving closer. /"you're right, that guy was a dick/" I'm glad we both agree on something. I would be more than happy if I could avoid Cole at all costs. Hopefully if he's hell bent on Montana; I won't have to worry about him.
Ethan straddles a nearby bench tapping it with his hand.
I stared at his hand, what does that mean.
Slowly I moved towards him he pulled me the rest of the way and I straddled the bench facing him.
I watched as he wrapped his hand around my arm, he used his thumbs to massage points on my arm. I winced as he found the source of my pain.
/"I'm Alexis by the way I don't think I've ever told you my name/" he glanced up at me his lips curving into a smile.
/"I know who you are, how could I not after last night/" lard knows what's being said about me now.
I actually don't want to know.
/"Cole left after you, he wasn't a big hit with everyone last night even my brother was annoyed which is saying something/" I groaned in my head, did he have to continue talking about last night.
/"who's your brother?/" I asked, somewhat intrigued.
I just wanted to keep the conversation going just so he wouldn't stop whatever magic he was creating on my arms.
He slowly moved up my arm before curling his fingers around my shoulders.
/"Rylan. My brother can be an idiot at times but if our parents taught us one thing is to respect girls/" shocked, that's what I felt hearing that he was the older brother of Rylan.
I met Rylan for the first-time last night, he was nice to us three girls but at that time I thought he was trying to get one of us into his bed. When he helped me after the pool incident, I began to realise he was more than just a hot guy.
God must have been feeling good when he created this family, at least make one of them have a gap tooth or something.
/"Thank you for whatever you're doing by the way, it feels good/" I said looking down at his expert fingers massaging me.
/"I major in physiotherapy, so I'd hope it was working/" well that sure as hell explains it then.
Ethan slowly let go of my arms sitting back. /"making you feel good is my top priority/" he said almost sensually. There was a definite meaning behind his words.
/"do you flirt with all your customers Ethan/" I replied back.
He carefully stood up bring me up with him. /"only the ones that are worth it/"
