But even as I carefully placed my hair into a ponytail, I knew I was lying to myself. Fuck it though. I had already reached out, so now, I just wanted to see what the vibes were like. I was free for a few hours until the evening anyway. Typically, I would sleep in, but I felt full of energy, and I needed to blow off some tension. I was able to get a personal training session in with me and Ronnie's trainer, and I decided to rope Remy in. I laughed to myself as I slid in my car. He had no idea how hard he was about to work.

I got to the gym fifteen minutes before one and was greeted by our trainer Tia. Tia's body was insane. Athletic, but still soft. She had the roundest ass and the smallest waist I've ever seen. Abs defined, biceps tight. She was a vison. Thanks to her, my body had never looked better. Thick but toned.

We shared a tight hug as soon as I got in.

"So…you're bringing a new friend, huh?" She smiled.

I nodded. "Yeah. This guy named Remy. He looks pretty fit, but I don't know…" I gave her a mischievous smile. "I think we can test that a little bit."

Tia chuckled lightly. "You wanna see if he can hang?"

I grinned. "I do. I wanna see how he handles pressure. If he can stay level-headed and not cuss you out during one of your workouts… then he has my attention."

Me and Tia laughed and high-fived.

"This is gonna be fun," she replied rubbing her hands together.

I noticed a maroon Escalade pull into the parking lot. Moments later, Remy stepped out. "There he is." I pointed.

Tia nodded with approval. "He's cute. Good body too." She planted her hands on her hips. "Let's see if Mr. Remy's muscles are just for show."

My smile deepened as I watched him walk towards the door, sun glistening off his caramel skin. "Yeah. Let's see," I murmured ignoring the flutter in my belly.

Remy opened the door, water bottle in his hand and a curious, but a hesitant look on his face as he looked around.

"Remy," I called out waving at him.

His head turned towards my voice and a smile stretched across his face. God he was adorable. My stomach fluttered more as he approached.

"Hey, beautiful."

"Hey, you." I smiled.

He held out his arms. "Can I get a hug?"

I stepped into his strong arms which he wrapped tight around me, pulling me close. He smelled amazing. Felt good too. I felt him exhale against my shoulder.

We pulled apart and he looked around again. "I wasn't expecting this, but I'm glad I came prepared," he remarked.

"Something different." I shrugged with a smirk and one shoulder shrug. I held out my hand. "This is my trainer, Tia. Tia—this is Remy."

Remy held out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Tia."

"You as well, Remy."

Tia shook his hand firmer than necessary and I could see him wince slightly at her grip. I bit back a smile when she let go and he subtly flexed his fingers.

"You look like you work out pretty often, Remy," Tia said. She pointed to his biceps. "Do you mind?"

He glanced at me before nodding. "Uh—yeah, sure."

Tia squeezed his biceps. "Nice.Verynice," she murmured. "What are you lifting— around 220? 250 on a good day?"

"300 on a good day," he corrected, puffing his chest out.

Me and Tia shared a sneaky smile.

She grinned. "Wow. 300. That's impressive."
