I was working on my jigsaw puzzle when he walked up to me.

"It's looking good, baby." He said, looking down at the half way done puzzle.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"I was thinking about doing something. Like going out to the gym. I haven't worked out In awhile." He said.

"Okay." I said, putting pieces together.

He kneeled down to me, "Well, I was thinking you could go with me."

"What? I hate the gym! And being around people!" I said, looking up at him confused.

"Oh come on, baby. It's not that bad. And there's usually not many people on days like this." He said.

"No, thanks." I said, going back to my puzzle.

He stood back up, sighing. "I guess I'll have to find another gym buddy. Someone that likes staring at my body."

My jaw clenched, he's just trying to annoy me, don't get mad. "Have fun."

"Seriously? The gym Isn't that bad." He said.

"I don't like working out or being around people, especially working out around other people. Besides I would just use the treadmill and leave." I said, finding some matching pieces of my puzzle.

"But I'll be there with you. And no one's gonna focus on you. They're all busy with their own lives." He said.

"I'm happy here." I said.

"Sweetheart, stand up." He said, In a serious voice.

"I'm busy with this." I said annoyed.

"Get, up, now." He said sternly.

I sighed, "Okay. I'm up."

"I want you to go with me." He said.

"But I really don't want to. You can go by yourself or just stay here." I said with my arms crossed.

He put his finger under my chin, "I want you, to go put on a cute little workout set. Then we're both going to the gym. I'll get some time to work out, you'll get some exercise while watching me, then we'll be back home." He said.

"Do you want to know the best part?" He asked.

"What?" I asked curiously.

"Once we get home, we can burn off some calories together." He said flirtatiously, placing a kiss on my lip.
"So, go get changed."

Looking up at him, seeing a flirty look In his eyes and a smirk. Walking to our room and finding some workout clothes. I didn't like the gym, but I could just use the treadmill and watch him.

Changing Into the workout set, putting my hair up, antiperspirant on and a pair of comfortable, running shoes. He had on some shorts and a loose shirt. Hopefully he would be taking his shirt off soon...

We got to the gym, him driving of course. As we pulled up, a ball of anxiety started to rise up Inside of me. Being out In public was okay some days, but I didn't want people to stare at me. Especially wearing this.
I mean, he's right. No one cares about what other people are doing, they're just trying to work out. But that didn't stop social anxiety from popping up.

"Come on, baby. It won't be that bad. We'll get some food after." He said then got out of the car. I slowly followed.

There wasn't to many people today, so he was right about that. These clothes didn't make me comfortable though. Tight fitting, hugging my body. It was fine at home, but not around strangers. Let alone big, creepy men...

Another reason I didn't like the gym, you have to pay and actually go there, then you have to figure out the equipment. It's not worth the money for me to just use the treadmill, I could just walk outside In the fresh air, for free!

He was happy to do something, working out again. He's been so busy working on this big project, that he hasn't been doing much. I think he's frustrated, he'll try to work then comes to spend time with me, when he needs a break.
So some exercise will do him good, It will be good for me too, especially the food we get after. Mmm, yum, already thinking about what I can eat later.

While he worked out with the different machines, I mostly stuck to the treadmill. There were a few people In the gym but they weren't to close to me, then they would leave.

I wonder If people are actually Interested In my life anyways. I've always been a people watcher, and animal watcher, over all I just watch my surroundings. That's pretty common now, but I usually do It out of interest. Sometimes It's more of a fear thing. He always calmed me down when I was over thinking. That's why we work so well together.

Even after only like a hour of actually working out, I was done. Ready to go home. So I walked over to him.

"I wanna go home. I worked out for awhile, I'm ready to go now." I said, tired and annoyed.

He was busy focusing on what he was doing,
"Not yet. We'll go when I say we do."

"But I'm tired and bored." I said, crossing my arms.

"Too bad. I was the one who drove. So what are you gonna do, walk?" He asked sarcastically.
"Don't distract me, go do something."

"Ugh." I grumbled, walking away. I guess I'll just lean against the wall for awhile, watch him.

Another hour passed as I kept myself busy, sitting, waiting, watching and getting on the stationary bike for awhile. He finally finished his workout and walked over to me.

"Alright, now we can go get some food and go home." He said.

"Yay. Finally." I said happily.

We found a place we liked and ate our food In the car. Eating quickly because we were so hungry from the workout.

Now we we're headed home, I could finish my puzzle, paint my nails. But I'll probably just lay down and fall asleep.
As I zoned out, staring outside the car window. He placed his hand on my thigh.

I looked over at him, asking "Why's that there?"

"Don't you remember what I said earlier?" He asked, side eyeing me then looking back at the road.

"No, I'm to tired to remember. And that was like, hours ago." I said.

"I said we would work out. Then we would get back home and- we would burn off some calories, together. Remember now?" He said flirtatiously, his hand grasping at my thigh, then looking at me.

"But I'm tired now." I said, leaning back Into the chair.

"We'll see about that, there's still time before we get home. I'll be able to persuade you." He said, side eyeing me again, with a smirk. His hand grabbing tighter on my thigh.

Once the car was parked, I leaned over the seat, kissing him.

"Mm, changed your mind now, huh? Suddenly got a burst of energy?" He said teasingly.

"Mm, hm." I mumbled, kissing him again. My hand now grabbing onto his thigh.

"Alright. Let's get Inside." He said, turning off the car and we both got out. Once he unlocked the front door, he picked me up, closing the door behind us.
He kissed me deeply, his hands grabbing onto my butt. Carrying me all the way to our room.

He placed me on the bed, him over me as he continued to kiss me. Rubbing his hands over my body, my hands grabbing at his hair. Wrapping my legs around him, while he put his tongue Into my mouth, playing with mine.

"Mm, baby. You are so beautiful. So why don't I take a closer look?" He said, pulling at my top.

"Do whatever you want to me." I said, begging for him touch me.

He pulled the top out of the way to expose my breasts, kissing them. Grabbing onto his hair as he kissed on my body.

"Mmm, please." I muttered.

"I like when you beg. So, beg for me." He said In a deep voice.

"P-please, I'll do anything for It. I've been good. I deserve It!" I pleaded.

"Mm, I don't know. You didn't get to much of a workout today, so...I'm going to make you work for It." He said.

"Nooo, I- please just give It to me. I've been good all week!" I begged.

"No. I want you to work for It." He said, getting off of me.
