Weird thoughts

When she reached her room, she slammed the door shut and rushed to the bathroom mirror, her gaze landed on her chest.

'has it gotten bigger?'

She took off the top of her pyjamas to check, she looked at her twin peaks then she measured them with her hands.

'yeah, they've certainly grown bigger'

When her gaze landed on her reflection she blushed heavily and hastily covered herself.

'What the heck was l doing? What the heck was I thinking? Am a man!' she quickly stripped and went to stand under the ice cold shower to clear her absurd thoughts.

As her mind cleared, she kept feeling that she had forgotten something but she couldn't figure out what it was so she tossed it at the back of her head. She had more important things to think about anyway.

' why would you go meet your best friend's ex-bride? Ophelia had even dressed up...for what?' Remi narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

The next day, she woke up very early than usual. With the pills at hand, she slept more peacefully but it was still ingrained in her bones to wake up early, 6 hours of sleep was her maximum.

After everything was set she jogged to a nearby store. With a tinge of redness on her cheeks, she bought a sports bra and some tight leggings before hurriedly leaving the store to head to a nearby gym.

She quickly signed up and paid for a monthly membership card. Unfortunately due to lack of female customers on the first floor, the women's locker rooms had become the men's locker rooms instead. So she had to change in the female washrooms which she was fine with, after changing she headed to the first floor.

If Remi had bothered to look around, she would have noticed that the moment she walked in, all eyes were on her. She was oblivious to the stares and even if she noticed she was the only female around, she would have paid it no heed since she was accustomed to being around men.

A male staff walked over with a trainer in tow before humbly apologising "dear customer, we apologise for not having female trainers, this is Jason, he will be in charge of helping you out"

"It's okay" Remi said nonchalantly.

When the male staff went away, Jason sized up Remi who was doing some warm ups before speaking "It's very rare for girls around here to be interested in going to the gym, I admire you for that."

"Thanks" Remi said without pausing.

Seeing that Remi wasn't up for a small chat, he quickly got into work mode "so, what's your plan?"

"I want to build up my strength but my main focus is flexibility and increasing stamina" she said as she finished her warm ups.

"Good, let's get started then" he nodded in approval.

Half an hour later, Remi was sprawled on the ground, huffing and panting while sweating profusely.

Jason looked at her with a smile "not bad...not bad at all, even though your stamina is indeed low, your endurance and determination are very commendable" he said as he rubbed the stubble on his face.

Remi looked at him again and suddenly felt that he wasn't just a simple gym trainer. He was a tall dark skinned man with brown eyes and shoulder length dreadlocks tied in a pony tail, the sides on his head shaved and a long fierce scar running down his exposed arm. He wasn't particularly buff but he had nicely proportioned body.

Looking at his cleanly shaved face and pink lips, Remi couldn't help but stare at him.

"What are you thinking staring at me like that?" He teased her.

"Am quite handsome right?" He smiled exposing his dimple.

"Yes...ah! What am I saying" she quickly got up and rushed out of the gym.

Looking at her fleeing figure Jason chuckled in amusement at her honest reply. A man who had been staring at them for a while finally approached Jason after Remi had ran off.

"Did you really have to personally train her like that?" He asked.

"How else would l test her potential?" Jason asked, still not taking his eyes off the direction Remi had run off to.

"So...what do you think?" The man asked.

"She's alright, it's a pity she's too young for me" Jason said.

"Tough luck, anyway let's head back home before uncle Carson starts getting worried" he said as they headed to the men's locker rooms. 

Once outside, Remi saw Rowan leaning on his car, this time he wasn't wearing his usual black suit or shades. He was wearing a khaki tank top and black shorts, his beautiful emerald eyes glanced at Remi who was staring at him.

"Was ogling that trainer not enough?" He scoffed.

Caught in the act, Remi looked away with a blush on her cheeks.

'whats wrong me? Ever since l woke up from the hangover yesterday, I've been feeling embarrassed and getting weird thoughts at every turn'

Seeing that Remi was displeased, he felt satisfied and stopped teasing her "hop in, or you won't be able to go shower and head to school on time"

Realising that he made sense, she didn't make a fuss and hopped in, once inside neither of them spoke a word to each other.

Remi was lost in her thoughts 'Right, I think l had a dream when l passed out...or l was just hallucinating...but l can't make heads or tails of what it was about. I should go find that detective, maybe l said something I don't remember'

Once they reached the Patel residence, she hopped off and ran to go take a shower quickly. Once she was done, she got back in and he drove her all the way to school.

Inside the car, Remi initiated the conversation "aren't you supposed to be with Drew at all times?"

"That's none of your business" he said coldly.

"If you are going to be like this all the times then why did you even pick me up?" She asked in annoyance.

"To ensure you go to school on time" he said flatly.

"And how's that your business?" She inquired.

"You will worry Drew if you are late" he said

"Hah! It's funny you had to wait outside the gym just to ensure l to school" she mocked.

"I go to that gym everyday, meeting you was a coincidence" he replied.

"Really? How come l didn't see you?" She asked suspiciously.

"The first floor is for the poor, am on the top floor" he said with a grin as he looked at her scrunched up face on the review mirror in satisfaction.

"We're here" he said as he stopped outside the school gates.

Remi alighted from the car and slammed the door shut without a care in the world, she walked away in a huff without even looking back.

'how come l never knew that Rowan could be so shameless, rude and irritably mean?'

As she walked past, the students started whispering.

"Whoa, is that a Lamborghini?" A male student screamed in astonishment.

"Damn! I got to see a Lamborghini up close, it's so beautiful!" A girl said.

"Forget the beauty, that car is so expensive, it costs around a quarter of a million dollars!"

Many of the students gasped in shock, then looked back at Remi's disappearing figure with unending jealousy and envy.

Inside the car Rowan's expression darkened the moment Remi left, he pulled out his phone and made a call.

"There's a new female who just joined your gym on the first floor, a dark skinned trainer was assigned to her, make him lose his job and make sure you assign her an ugly looking trainer" he said coldly.
