Chapter 64: Kendall's Stories

The sun was shining brightly that morning in Los Angeles, but Gabriel was in his usual work routine. After the workout he had done with Kendall the day before, he returned to the natural rhythm of his job, always keeping a low profile and alert. However, he never imagined that the workout would leave a bigger mark than just on his body.

Early in the morning, while he was providing security for Kendall during an outdoor photo shoot, Gabriel noticed that she was holding her cell phone in her hands, laughing to herself. He, as always, maintained a professional demeanor, but watched from afar, curious to know what was making her so excited.

Kendall, wearing a casual outfit, was fiddling with her cell phone while commenting on something to her makeup artist. "Seriously, I have to post this. He's going to be so mad," she said, laughing.

The makeup artist responded enthusiastically: "You have to post it! People are going to love it."

Gabriel pretended not to hear, but from Kendall's expression, he knew he was the topic of conversation. It wasn't long before she, smiling like a mischievous child, picked up her phone and started editing something.

Minutes later, her phone vibrated, indicating social media notifications. He ignored it, but noticed that Kendall was watching him, laughing softly.

"Did you see what I posted, Gabriel?" she asked, approaching him with her phone in her hands.

He arched an eyebrow. "Should I be worried?"

She shrugged, holding back a laugh. "Only if you're shy."

Curious, Gabriel finally picked up his phone and opened the app. There it was: an Instagram story from Kendall showing him in the middle of a workout the day before, lifting weights with a serious and focused expression. In the caption, she wrote:

"Best workout partner today 💪🔥. Who else agrees he should train with me more often?"

The upbeat music she had put on in the background only made the video more lighthearted.

He sighed, but there was a slight smile on the corners of his lips. "You really can't help it, can you?"

"What?" Kendall asked, feigning innocence. "You were amazing yesterday. It's almost a crime not to share that with the world."

"I'd rather go unnoticed," he replied, handing her the phone back.

Kendall laughed, crossing her arms. "Sorry, but that's impossible. People are going to freak out over this video. Just look at the comments!"

Gabriel avoided looking, but she began reading some out loud:

"'Who is this? 😍'

'The hottest security guard I've ever seen.'

'Kendall, we want more videos of him!'

He shook his head, almost in disbelief. "You're creating more work for me, you know?"

"Oh, stop it. It's just for fun," she replied, still laughing. "Besides, I bet you'll gain even more fans after this."

Kendall's story quickly went viral. Within hours, it was being shared by fans and even gossip pages, who commented on the model's "mysterious bodyguard." Some even pulled up old photos of Gabriel from advertising campaigns, rekindling interest in his past as a model.

"Does Kendall Jenner have the hottest bodyguard in the world?" was the headline on one entertainment website.

On Twitter, the hashtag #GabrielTheWorkoutPartner began to gain traction, with fans commenting on how lucky Kendall was to have someone like that by her side.

Gabriel, on the other hand, preferred to ignore the situation, focusing on work. But it was impossible to ignore the looks and smirks he received from other people on the team, especially after the online uproar.

Later that day, as Kendall chatted with her sister Kylie and best friend Stassie, the subject inevitably came up.

"I saw your stories," Kylie said with a mischievous smile. "Gabriel got a little famous, huh?"

Kendall laughed, scrolling through her phone. "I couldn't resist. He was amazing at practice yesterday. Seriously, you guys should have seen it."

Stassie, ever cheerful, added, "I've seen the stories and the comments. I think he has more fans than the two of you combined now."

The three of them started laughing, imagining Gabriel's reaction when he realized the reach of the post.

Later, when Kendall was alone with Gabriel, she decided to apologize—or at least try.

"Look, I know you prefer to stay out of the spotlight," she began, looking at him with a smirk, "but I just wanted to show people how amazing you are."

Gabriel, who had been checking out the surroundings, finally looked at her. "I understand, Kendall. I'm just not a fan of too much attention."

"I know," she replied softly. "But at least admit it looked nice."

He smiled, shaking his head. "It did look nice, I'll admit. I just hope it doesn't cause any problems."

The next morning, as Gabriel prepared to accompany Kendall to another appointment, he noticed that the paparazzi seemed to be more interested than usual. He sighed, already anticipating that the stories were still causing repercussions.

In the car, Kendall looked at him with a guilty smile. "Okay, maybe I overdid it a little yesterday."

"Maybe?" he replied, raising an eyebrow.

"But you have to admit, Gabriel," she said, trying to contain her laughter, "you looked great in the video. I don't regret posting it."

Gabriel smiled slightly, looking out the window as the car moved. Despite the unwanted attention, he couldn't deny that there was something funny about the whole situation. After all, it wasn't every day that a common workout became the subject of so many people's conversations.

While Kendall continued to laugh and comment on the impact of the stories, Gabriel decided that, in the future, he would think twice before giving in to any of her requests.

But, at the same time, he couldn't deny that, in a way, he had enjoyed sharing that moment with her. After all, despite all the formalities of his job, moments like that reminded him that it was possible to have lightness and fun, even on the busiest days.

Chapter 65: Couples Workout

It was a sunny morning in Los Angeles, but for Gabriel and Stassie, the day began in a more reserved manner. Gabriel, finally on one of his rare days off, had accepted Stassie's invitation to accompany her to the gym. He knew it would be a fun time, but he had no idea how much closer it would make them.

Gabriel arrived first, punctual as always. He wore a black tank top that highlighted the muscles in his chest and arms, as well as gray workout shorts and black sneakers. He discreetly checked out the room while doing some light stretches, his professional side never completely turned off.

Stassie arrived shortly after, wearing a tight-fitting lilac-toned sports outfit that accentuated her curves. Her hair tied back in a ponytail made her face even brighter when she saw him.

"I thought I'd be late and you'd be finishing your workout by now," she said, laughing.

"I told you I'd be here," Gabriel replied with a relaxed smile. "Shall we go? What do you have planned for today?"

"Leg and glute workout," Stassie replied excitedly. "Let's see if you can keep up."

The two started with basic exercises, warming up with squats and lunges. Gabriel, accustomed to an intense routine of functional and military training, did the movements with ease.

Stassie, on the other hand, was no slouch. She was dedicated and disciplined, and Gabriel noticed this with admiration as he adjusted the weights on the machines for her.

"You've got technique," he commented as she did a set of squats.

"And you've got strength," she replied, laughing as she watched Gabriel hold the weights with impressive ease. "But let's see who can finish the set without complaining."

He raised an eyebrow defiantly. "I'm not complaining, Stassie. I just hope you can keep up."

As they moved on to the leg press machines, the relaxed atmosphere began to turn into something more intense. During a break between sets, Stassie, slightly out of breath, sat down next to Gabriel on a bench and looked at him with an amused smile.

"You really take this seriously," she commented, lightly touching his arm. "But I like it. It shows you have discipline."

Gabriel, in turn, smiled and looked directly into her eyes. "Discipline is something that has always been a part of my life. But it's easier to stay focused when you're in good company."

The comment made Stassie blush slightly. She looked away for a moment, but soon returned to look at him. "You're a problem, you know that?"

"Why?" Gabriel asked, leaning slightly toward her.

"Because it's hard not to get distracted with you here," she answered without hesitation.

The tension between the two grew, and before they knew it, they were so close that their faces were almost touching. Stassie took the initiative, grabbing Gabriel's face and pulling him in for a kiss.

The kiss was intense, but brief. When they pulled away, they were both smiling, still panting.

"I guess that counts as cardio," Gabriel joked.

"Definitely," Stassie replied, laughing.

As the workout continued, Gabriel and Stassie maintained a relaxed atmosphere, with laughter and occasional teasing. At one point, while she was adjusting the weights on a machine, Gabriel, in a playful impulse, gave her a light slap on the butt.

Stassie immediately turned around, surprised, but with a smile on her lips. "Gabriel!"

"What?" he replied, feigning innocence. "You said you wanted motivation."

"Oh, is it like that now?" she said, crossing her arms. "I'll remember that."

The two laughed, and the energy between them seemed even lighter and more natural.

After an hour and a half of intense exercise, they were both sweaty and satisfied with their workout. Sitting side by side on the bench near the entrance to the gym, they sipped water while chatting.

"It was fun working out with you," Stassie said, looking at him with a twinkle in her eye. "We can do this more often."

"Sure," Gabriel replied, putting the water bottle aside. "But next time, I want to see you join me in the functional training."

"Challenge accepted," she replied, leaning in to give him another quick kiss.

When they left the gym together, there was no doubt that something special was happening between the two. The smiles and glances exchanged were constant, and anyone who saw them could see the undeniable chemistry.

Gabriel opened the car door for Stassie, showing his gentlemanly side, before getting in and driving. Along the way, they talked about a variety of topics, from movies to plans for the rest of the day.

"You know I really like you, right?" Stassie said suddenly, breaking the silence.

Gabriel glanced at her briefly before turning her attention back to the road. "I know, and I feel the same way."

Stassie smiled, lightly touching his arm. "So, I guess this means we can make it official... whatever we're doing."

"I guess so," he replied with a satisfied smile. "As long as you're ready to deal with someone who takes life as seriously as I do."

"I've never wanted anything less," she replied honestly.

That day at the gym not only strengthened the connection between Gabriel and Stassie, but it also marked the beginning of something deeper between them. Although Gabriel was a reserved person, his time with Stassie showed that he was willing to make room for something new in his life. And Stassie, in turn, was more than ready to accept the challenge of winning the heart of such a unique man.

Chapter 66: The Media's Reaction

It was a normal day for Gabriel and Stassie, but not for the internet. Photos and videos of the two of them together at the gym began circulating on social media and quickly went viral. The couple was being watched more closely than they could have ever imagined.

It all started with a series of stories posted by gym-goers who noticed Gabriel and Stassie working out together. It wasn't long before the videos showed more intimate moments between them: a quick kiss in the middle of a break in their workout, smiles exchanged as they laughed at something only the two of them knew, and even Gabriel playfully slapping Stassie's butt.

The hashtag #StassieEGabriel began trending quickly on Twitter.

"Are you guys watching this?" asked an influencer in her TikTok video, as she analyzed clips of the couple. "This is Gabriel! The Kardashians' mysterious bodyguard! And now it looks like he's found love with Stassie. I'm in love with them!"

Another viral video on YouTube gave a complete analysis of the couple's relationship, with excerpts from their gym videos:

"Here we can see the exact moment Stassie gets that playful slap. Guys, this is pure chemistry!"

In the comments, fans had mixed opinions:

"Finally someone has won Gabriel over! He seems so reserved, but with her he's a different man."

"This Gabriel is living the dream: he works with the Kardashians and is still with Stassie."

"I confess I'm jealous of Stassie. This man is a dream!"

At Stassie's house, Gabriel was sitting next to her on the couch as she scrolled through social media. She laughed as she read some of the comments.

"Did you see this?" Stassie asked, showing him a tweet that read, "Finally someone tamed the lion Gabriel. This man is too perfect to be real."

Gabriel, in his usual self-effacing humor, merely raised an eyebrow. "Tame the lion? They really don't know you're the boss."

Stassie laughed out loud and lightly punched him in the arm. "Stop it! Look at this one." She showed him another comment: "I knew there was something between them! Look at the chemistry! That slap on the ass was everything."

Gabriel laughed and shook his head. "I think I'm going to start being more careful in public. I didn't think that moment would make the news."

"Oh, relax," Stassie said, leaning her head on his shoulder. "They're happy for us. I'm happy for us. No matter what anyone says."

Meanwhile, at Kris Jenner's house, the Kardashians were gathered for a casual brunch. Kylie, Kendall, Kim, and Khloé were all engrossed in watching the stories and videos that were now flooding their feeds.

"Look at this," Kylie said, showing Kendall her phone. "Gabriel and Stassie are officially together. Did you see the kiss? And the ass slap?"

Kendall laughed, but with a hint of surprise. "I knew they were getting close, but I didn't think they would come clean so quickly. Stassie really got to him."

Kim raised her eyebrows. "I've never seen Gabriel act like this. He's always been so private. It seems like she really won him over."

Khloé agreed. "Stassie is amazing, so it's no surprise. But still, it's weird to imagine Gabriel, the tough guy, in such a public relationship."

Kris, always thinking strategically, interrupted the conversation. "This could be great for Stassie. Gabriel already has his own kind of fame. They could become the most talked about couple of the moment."

"And how is he handling it?" Kylie asked curiously.

"Well, considering he hasn't run off to the desert yet, I guess it's okay," Kendall joked, laughing.

While the Kardashians discussed the matter, Gabriel's fans were also in a frenzy. Many couldn't believe that the reserved security guard, known for his seriousness and professionalism, was now seen in such an intimate and relaxed moment.

"This man was an enigma, and now we know he's human. I'm so happy for him!" read one comment on Instagram.

Others, however, expressed a bit of jealousy:

"I wish I was Stassie! This man is the total package: protective, gorgeous and still has that kind of grip."

"Gabriel, why did you have to leave the market right now? I was ready to apply."

At the end of the day, Gabriel decided to call a longtime friend, a former missionary companion who was now living a quieter life.

"I saw the news," his friend said, laughing on the other end of the line. "You're dating an influencer now? I never thought you were the kind of guy for that."

Gabriel laughed. "Neither did I. But Stassie is different. She makes me feel... normal, you know? Like I can relax and be myself."

"That's good, man. You deserve it after all. But watch out for the media. They won't let you peace."

"I know," Gabriel replied, sighing. "But I'm willing to deal with it. She's worth it."

While the media continued to comment on the new couple, Gabriel and Stassie remained calm, enjoying every moment together. For Gabriel, who had always lived a life of duty and discipline, Stassie was a breath of fresh air, bringing joy and lightness that he didn't even know he needed.

And although the cameras continued to follow them, neither of them seemed to mind. After all, they were exactly where they wanted to be: by each other's side.
