"Oh that," Ethan said as he realized it. "Unfortunately, I'm not really interested. I can set you up with other people I know."
She frowned but recovered with a smile and a forced chuckle.
"Well whatever you say, Ethan," she said and turned to look at me. Her eyes seemed to exude rage. "It's a pleasure to see you again Stacy."
"You too, Gabrielle," I said nervously.
She left with her cucumber.
"I'm a little jealous, Stacy. You wanted to buythatwhen you already have me?" he asked.
"No I didn't…even think about using it for that sort of thing," I replied.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I know you had a different life altogether before meeting me, but I don't think I've realized it properly until now," I explained. "Gabrielle is one of your past flings, right?"
"Yeah," he replied.
"I see," I said as my shoulders dropped in disappointment.
He hugged me from the side. "Hey, don't let it get to you. I know I've done a lot of wrong things with the wrong people in the past. But you don't have to worry about it. You're all I have interest in right now."
"I know…it's just a little…"
"It's okay, I understand," he said as his embrace got tighter. "I'll prove my commitment to you as many times as it takes."
"Thank you, Ethan," I said as I turned and hugged him back. "I think I'll be craving yourproteinwhen we get home."
"Can we make a raincheck?" he asked.
"No."
"Dang."
I squeezed him. This was okay. Nothing there to worry about.
Chapter seventeen
Assurance
Stacy
I woke up to an empty bed and it was my turn to panic. But as I was about to step out of bed, I noticed Ethan doing pushups on the floor.
"Good, you're up," he said. "Get on my back."
"You look sweaty," I remarked and frowned.
"Get on my back Stacy," he ordered.
I got down and lay on his back; before I knew it, I got addicted to him moving up and down. It felt like I was on a seesaw, one with pulsing muscles and heavy breathing.
"You do this every morning?" I asked.
"Since I can't always go to the gym, I need a way to keep fit," he replied.
After fifteen pushups, he asked me to get down. I helped him out with his routine, holding his legs down as he did some sit-ups, rewarding him with a kiss every time he returned upward. I didn't know that workouts could be this fun. I decided to do some exercise myself: squats and sit-ups just to make sure my ass and stomach stayed in shape. After he was done, even trying to do a few chin-ups while I hugged him from behind, he went straight to the shower.
