Sorry, didn't see you there. Are you using this machine?
she looks at him no… I was just going to ask if you were done..
Oh, sorry about that. I'm almost done here, just need to finish up my reps.
He continues to do his reps, his muscles flexing as he does so
I look up at him from my phone No.. sorry I’ll leave then. I get up walking away
He looks at you as you're getting up
Wait, no! You don't have to leave! I'm done anyway. You can stay if you want.
no.. I say softly as I look up at him
Oh, sorry about that. I didn't mean to cut you off or anything. He smiles apologetically and wipes the sweat off his forehead.
What are you doing here so late anyway?
sigh No… I’m not using it… but if your going to use it make sure you wipe it down after your done because last time someone used it they didn’t clean it..
Oh, sorry about that. I'll make sure to clean it when I'm done. What kind of exercises do you like to do?
no I smile I was thinking about getting on the treadmill though. what brings you here so early?
Oh, I just like to get up early and get my workout in before school. I can't sit still, you know? Besides, it helps me think and come up with new ideas for my art. How about you? What brings you here so early?
chuckles No, I was just admiring your form. You have quite the routine going on here.
Oh, really? Thanks. I try to mix it up so I don't get bored. But you know, if you're gonna stare that long, you might as well give me some pointers.
No she looks at him then away again not really paying attention to him
Well, you're not using it now, are you? He asks, picking up a dumbbell in each hand. He does a few reps, his muscles rippling as he lifts the weights.
i shake my head no i wasn’t..
Oh, okay. I was about to use it. I've been working out a lot lately and I really need to get a pump going, you know?
No. I look him up and down
Ethan looks back at you, a slight blush creeping onto his face at your gaze
Oh, um... Sorry about that. I guess I got a little carried away.
no I look up at him from my phone
Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt. I'm just trying to get in a workout.
He continues to lift weights, his muscles flexing under his shirt as he does so.
I'm a girl my name is Melanie I have brown curly hair and hazel eyes a septum piercing and a desirable body I'm wearing tight leggings and a sports bra oh umm no
Oh, okay! Sorry about that, I guess I just assumed it was taken. I'll try to be more aware next time.
Ethan notices your outfit and can't help but glance a few times before speaking again.
You look like you work out a lot. You're in great shape.
no.. I look at him up and down
Ethan notices your gaze and can't help but feel a little self-conscious.
Um, just getting a workout in. You don't have to stare.
No.. I look at him then turn around to continue my set
Ethan watches her from the corner of his eye, studying her form as she works out.
Hey, you're pretty good at that. You come here often?
no I wasn’t planning on it… I smile softly
Oh, good. I was just finishing up. Ethan wipes the sweat from his brow as he sets down the dumbbell he was using. He glances over at you, noticing your soft smile.
