His Only Girl

Chapter 5

- the next day –

Charlene’s P.O.V

Beep! My phone vibrated loudly, I tiredly opened my eyes and check my phone. It is 9am already. i dragged myself out of bed, went to wash up and got dressed in my gym outfit. I wore my sports bra underneath my favorite dry fit shirt and shorts, I was thinking; I can do it one, I don’t like to exercise at all, but I want to have a fit body...

While I was in the train on the way to the mall, we are meeting, I kind of regretted already (haha) but I’m already on the way so I just must suck it up. I texted Kai: Hey! I’m on the way. Are you awake already?

He replied: Hi! I’m already awake, I washed up and got ready. I’m eating my breakfast now, let me know if you are reaching than I would leave my house. I replied: Sure, see you I closed my eyes to rest before I reach my stop. Thoughts filled my mind; I became to think about what situations that would happen in the gym, I feel that I would be breathless very fast as it is my first time at the gym than also Kai would be teaching me. I’m a little scared but I would try my best.

When I reached the mall, I texted Kai; Hey! I just reached. I meet you at the gym entrance okay, see you He replied: sure, see you there.

When we met up, he commented; you look good in your gym clothes (winked) I replied: Thank you (smiled at him) I feel so unwillingly when I start the treadmill with him, his teaching is so ruthless. He set 5 minutes on the treadmill at the speed of 10, I grabbed the handles till my palms are so sweaty and my spectacles kept sliding down. I was scared that my spectacles would just fall off and get crushed.

After the treadmill, I was super breathless. He showed me around the gym, taught me how to use the leg raises machine I did 5 reps 10 times each. At the start, I did the lightest weight it is easy but when he increased the weight by one. My thoughts; I’m so tired, I haven’t eaten breakfast than I came straight to meet him. My leg feels sore after the machine, but I must be strong endure as we were going to gym for one and half hour only.

He taught me how to use the dead-lift machine too, but I couldn’t do even the lightest weight, it felt so heavy when I did one time. In the end, he decided to just mainly teach me how to do the proper squats before adding in the weights.

When I showed him how I did my squats, he said; This is not how you do squats, your posture is not right which would make your leg get tired so easily (in a stern tone) he showed me the proper way to do it, I felt so confused but I try to copy the way he did.

I did it once, I looked at him straight away and said; is this right?  He said; yes, just continue. However, I feel so insecure when I started my squats again. I felt the need to have him to keep reassuring me that I did it the right way, I scared he would get annoyed with me so I asked him to show me again but he added the weights for me to make it easier to do.

He said; do you understand what I did, most importantly is the posture. Your posture must be right if not your back would get injured when you lift the weights. I replied: I think so, I try again. he said; for a first timer, you did it correctly, but the problem is just your posture. You learn about your posture first.

He said; I feel that your bum is not out enough, is it just that your butt is small that’s why (smiled). I got a little triggered because I’m so insecure about it already, I replied; YA! My bum is very small (frowned)

He replied: okay I’m sorry, let’s just focus on this first okay! (smiled and hugged me) I tried my best, I slowly got smoother and better when I do squats. The more he encouraged me, the more confident I feel about myself when I did squats.

He said; you are doing a good job! Keep on enduring! I smiled, I pushed on. I took a break on squats, he taught me how to train my arms with weights. I looked in the mirror, I realise how skinny my arms were (haha) my arms were as skinny as dog bones. I must work on my arms to make it stronger.

I did 5 reps with weights, so it is ten times each arm. I continued my squats for about 10 minutes before we headed out to buy breakfast and head off to his house. When I reached his house, I got greeted by his adorable puppy, Lucky! I patted him on his head, he followed Kai and I into his room, I like to bring him into the room, but Kai always wants him to go out (haha) he like to use the dog treat to lure him out of the room before going back into the room.

It’s funny yet a bit annoying (haha) because he thinks is funny to lie to his dog so that he would be out of the room. For me, I always feel that having a pet is such a blessing because it is a companion especially when you are alone or feeling sad.

I said; don’t chase him out, just let him stay in the room. It feels so mean to just lie to him and chase him out. (fake frowned to gain his approval to let him in) He said; but he would want to eat our food, we can’t leave Lucky in the room when we are eating.

I said; come on! Please, please (pouted) He frowned too, and said; okay fine, he can be in the room. He opened the door, lucky immediately came in. I felt so happy, I want to feed him one dog treat, I said; Lucky! Sit! He sat down, I continued; Paw! He gave me his left paw. I gave him one dog treat.

It warms my heart when I see Lucky so happy, just nice Kai came back from his short shower. I said; come let’s eat, I’m starving! He came to sit down; I feel so satisfied when I finished my food. It is my first meal of the day.

After breakfast, we spend the rest of the day relaxing and took a nap together.
