Monday afternoon as Tess and I board the train to San Myshuno, we both receive a text from Angus
Come to my office when you arrive
We look at each other puzzled.
"Maybe he's realised that he's made a big mistake in asking me to be his girlfriend and he's going to end it?" I panic
"As if, he's probably just remembered we owe him an extra half hour today" Tess laughs, "Not everything is about Zogus"
"Zogus?"
"Yeah, that's your couple name now, I'm going to trademark it"
We both laugh
On Saturday night, after dinner Angus left and Tess took the opportunity to get all the gory details out of me...which really wasn't too hard because I was dying to tell her everything.
"He kissed you or you kissed him" She asked
"He asked to kiss me but I didn't answer him, I just went for it" I explain
"Is he a good kisser?"
"Yes, but I've really got nothing to compare it to. Oh shit, what if I'm a bad kisser and he was just too polite to tell me?" Im working myself up
"Chill out, he wouldn't have asked you to be his girlfriend if you were a shitty kisser" Tess assures me.
"Are you going to spend this whole relationship questioning and overthinking everything he does?" Tess enquires when we arrive at the gym.
"It's what I do" I remind her.
We say hi to Annabelle who is working at the desk, check in and make our way down the back of the gym to Angus' office. Tess knocks and we hear him call out "come in".
Once inside we take a seat each, seats that were not there on Friday evening but are now the only new addition to the bland space.
"I said to decorate Angus, not add more furniture" Tess laughs and I try to stifle my own giggle
"I didn't had a lot of time over the weekend to contact awn interior decorator" he joins in on her joke, good, he's not offended
"Well maybe if you hadn't been so busy making out with my sister you would of had the time" Tess continued, enjoying the banter but I just blush
"It was totally worth it" Angus explains, "But that's kind of why I've asked you both in here this afternoon, before we start our session"
I can feel my heart sink into my stomach, he's going to end it and he's going to still make me do his stupid workout session, great!
"We have a professional code here at the gym" he continues, "We don't allow our trainers to fraternise with clients. Don't worry Zoey, Im not ending this" I swear he can read my mind "but when I'm at work I'm just your trainer ok?"
I nod my head, phew, thats just all he wanted
"Then why am I in here too, granted, this save Zoey time having to tell me later all about what you two discussed inside the office of boringville" Tells wails
"Because you have no filter Tess" Angus explains and the three of us all laugh.
Our session today was probably the most intense yet. We did the extra half hour of our usual training and then we were forced to join Angus for his Monday evening boxercise class. Ive decided that I hate boxing, when am I ever going to have punch someone anyway? Tess, on the other hand, loves it, she says it makes her feel like Buffy.
After class we grab our bags and get ready to head to the train station we get to the door and hear Angus telling Annabelle that he's heading off. Once we are outside he calls out to us, "Where are you two going?"
"To the train station" we say in unison
"Ah no, it's not to safe to catch the train after dark, I'm taking you home" he explains
"It's too far..." I start to protest but Tess cuts me off, "Shut up Zoey, the train smells and now we get to ride in style"
Our journey home is filled with a lot of chatter, mainly coming from Tess.
"Declan wants to know if he can join our group for personal training" she asks Angus
"Yeah that's cool, have him come in with you on Wednesday and I'll do him up a contract" he replies
"Are we on a contract too?" I ask, I know I signed something but I didn't read it.
"Yeah babe, for the next 12 months, you're mine 3 times a week" He informs me
"3 times a week hey Angus? That's more action than you've had in the last 2 years" Tess shouts from the back, I turn around to shoot her a look of "that was private information" but she's not done yet "and more action Zoey has seen in her whole 18 years" she laughs like her jokes are hilarious and I just stare out the window, trying to fight back tears and then I feel Angus' hand squeeze my leg. "There's nothing to be ashamed of Zoey, I like that you're a virgin, kinda takes the pressure off" He assures me "and Tess Im not ashamed that I haven't slept with anyone in two years, it's less drama. My friend Caleb has had this friends with benefits thing going on with this girl for the past, he's made it so clear that he's only after sex but still she goes off at him for not calling, not taking her out on dates, for sleeping with other women and he gets himself worked up too, asking where she's been, who she's with, it's always just drama. I tell him all the time that he needs to just commit to her but he says he doesn't want to be tied to just one woman at 22. I didn't want that life for myself, I wanted to wait for a girl who I knew I could fall in love with" He says, looking over at me and I blush
"Ugh Angus, you're such a sap" Tess cries out and we all laugh
