During the next several weeks, Luke and I hung out almost every night. While shooting his movie, Luke worked long hours on set. We continued to train in the mornings when we could to keep us both in shape, and at night relaxed together like a real couple.
As she predicted, Alicia was a much better actress on land. And while her chemistry with Luke wasn’t quite as electric as my own with him, they did manage to portray a convincing romantic couple.
Besides training Luke, I still worked with old Mrs.Rosa despite the fact that she didn’t care for her daughter-in-law, once the daughter-in-law became pregnant, old Mrs. Rosa doted on her something fierce. She even bought the baby and the poodle a matching outfit.
One morning during Luke’s last week of filming, we hit the gym for a hard core leg workout. Luke squatted with the barbell while I lunged holding some dumbbells.
“Now that this movie’s over, are you still going to need a trainer?” I asked Luke.
