Title: It's Just A Crush
After breakfast we all get up to leave. The guys want to head to the gym for a while so I tell them I will work out for a little bit with them. My uncle says he is going to go back to the room and rest since he already worked out. He tells me he will meet up with me later on at the arena. When we get to the gym we spilt up and I head to the women's locker room. As I change I think about what's going on with Mark. He treats me differently when we are alone but the minute someone shows up he changes. I shake my head and walk out into the gym. Hunter is benching pressing and Kevin is spotting him. Mark is over in the corner hitting the punching bag. I walk over to a mat and do some warm-up stretches before I head over to the treadmill. I workout for about 45 minutes and when I stop I turn and see the guys are just hanging around bullshitting.
" How do you guys have such amazing bodies when you don't even work out that much?" Hunter comes over and puts his arm around my shoulders. " Sweetheart don't you know its all in the genes? I have really good genes so I don't have to work out so much to keep this great body." I smile at him and run my fingernail down the center of his chest. " Well if I ask really nicely will you show me what's in your jeans?" Kevin starts to crack up when he hears this. " My, my, has our little Chloe learned how to flirt? It feels like just yesterday you were wrestling around on the floor with us. Oh wait you were doing that." I flip Kevin the finger and keep talking with Hunter. We go to walk off on our own when an arm reaches out and grabs me.
" We want to head back to the arena so I suggest you continue acting like two damn lovesick puppies later on. Us adults have jobs to do so get a move on." Oh so now Mark wants to act like he is my daddy. I lean up to Hunter and whisper just loud enough for Mark to over hear. " Ok here's the plan; we ditch the old guy later on and meet someplace dark and private so we can talk. How does that sound sexy?" Hunter laughs at me and leans down to kiss me on my lips and tells me it's a date. " Well baby I'm going off to take a shower. I'm sure there is enough room in there for two if you want to join me." Hunter grabs my hand and starts to pull me towards the men's locker room but before he can pull me any further Mark reaches out and grabs my other hand and tugs me towards him. " Why don't you run along Hunter, Chloe and I have to have a little chat. I'll catch up with you in a few minutes." Hunter looks back and forth between Mark and I before he ends up walking into the locker room.
Mark pulls me over to a corner in the gym. When I look around I realize we are the only one's in there. " Chloe all I have to say is stop the bullshit with Hunter." I pull my hand out of his grasp and just stare at him. " Mark I know you are used to everyone doing what you say but I hate to break it to you, I don't have to listen to you. So you better get used to it. Now I am going to take a shower because god forbid someone were to walk into the gym right now and see you talking to me all alone, can you imagine what they would think? I would hate for your reputation to be tarnished just because of silly ole me. Could you be so kind as to get the hell out of my way right now?" I try pushing on his chest to move him but he doesn't budge.
" Chloe I am warning you stay away from Hunter. You don't want to make me mad." Great now the big idiot is threatening me. " Mark read my lips fuck you. Do you understand that?" I squeal when Mark picks me up by my waist and pins me against the wall. Out of instinct I wrap my legs around his waist. His face is red from anger and all I can do is stare at him. I watch as something flickers in his eyes and I could swear it was lust but it's gone as quickly as it came. " I hate to break it to you sweetheart but I don't fuck little innocent girls. I only invite women into my bed; women that I know can satisfy me. So why don't you run home and go play with your Barbies dolls and leaving the fucking to the adults." With that said he lets me go and I slip down to the floor. I watch his retreating form walk into the locker room. I sit on the floor for a few more minutes trying to get my emotions under control. Mark is right about one thing I am innocent. I've never slept with a guy and now I know how he feels about that. He will never want to touch me.
Eventually I get up and rush to get ready. I meet the guys outside and when Hunter comes over to wrap his arm around my waist I walk away from him. I ask Kevin if I can sit in the front with him. I stay silent the entire way to the arena. Once Kevin parks the car I run out and rush into the building. I don't even wait for the rest of the guys. I find Stephanie's office and knock. I walk in and sit in the chair across from her and look at her till she looks up at me. " What's up Chloe? You look upset." I sit there and tell her everything that had went down starting from leaving last night to this afternoon. She listens intently and by the end of my story she is just shaking her head. " Chloe I have no idea what has gotten into Mark. If you ask me he just doesn't know how to treat you now because I think he is attracted to you." Stephanie and I sit there for a while discussing my situation. I tell her I will see her later and I go in search of my uncle.
As I round the corner I see him and Mark standing in front of their locker room talking. I step back and hide behind the corner to listen to what their saying. " Glenn listen to me, you're my best friend but I love you like a brother so please trust me on this. Chloe was throwing herself at Hunter all morning at the gym. You know how people love to gossip around here so I think its best if you send her home before people start talking about her. It's really for her best." I can't believe him; he's trying to convince my uncle to send me home. I think the real reason he doesn't want me around is because he doesn't know how to control his feelings. I march over to them and poke Mark in the chest. " I find it funny you are so worried about people talking about me when I see you're the only asshole doing it. If you have something to say then say it to my face."
Review as always.
