Chapter 28: Ash

It was cute how Lexa tightened her grip on me when the PT Raven walked in. I mean, she was nice looking, but nothing compared to Lexa. So first, I introduced myself, and then I introduced Lexa as my girlfriend, hoping to make her a little more comfortable. It actually felt good to put a label on what was going on between us.

Then I made a stupid mistake. I said that I would see her after my torture session. I wasn't thinking. I was just joking around, but I forgot that Lexa hasn't really been around many people to know the difference. So Lexa flipped out and basically told Raven she would cut her fucking head off if she touched me. Which would have been funny if I hadn't known she would do it. I think this scared Raven also because I thought her eyes would pop out of her head.

I had to try and explain to Lexa that it wasn't actually torture, just a challenging workout that would help me heal more quickly. She wasn't having it, now she wants to go with me. I don't want her to, though. I don't want her to see how weak I am right now. I mean, I can't even stand up by myself. So, I made a deal with Lexa. She could push me down to the gym and see where I would be but not stay. Then after my workout, she could help me take a shower, but only if she didn't stay and watch.

Lexa rolled me down to the gym and made Raven show her everything I would be doing before leaving. It was so cute how protective Lexa was of me. I have never had anyone treat me the way she does, not even Callie. I may be falling hard for her.

After Lexa left, Raven said, "Is your girlfriend always that scary and protective." I couldn't help but laugh at her. I explained that it is a new relationship, but yeah, she is pretty protective of me, but we have been through a lot quickly.

Raven started by evaluating my balance and strength. Then she had me ride the stationary bike for a while and then walking between the parallel bars. I can't believe how hard it is to walk. Next, Raven had me working out my legs for about an hour, and it was tough, but it felt good. She said that was enough for today, but I wasn't ready to stop. I asked if we could work out my arms as well, and she reluctantly agreed, but we only had about thirty minutes because she didn't want Lexa to come looking for us. I laughed at her and said, she really scared you, didn't she.

When I returned to the room, Lexa was in a pair of basketball shorts and tank top doing pushups as fast as she could. I had forgotten how muscular she was. I think she may have gotten bigger while I was asleep. When she saw me come in, she jumped up and came over and started checking me out. I said, "Babe, what are you doing?"

"What does it look like? I'm making sure she didn't hurt you."

I laughed, "I'm fine, only tired and ready for a shower. Raven, same time tomorrow?"

Raven said, "Actually, if you're up for it, I would like to work you out twice a day. Once in the morning and then again in the afternoon."

I replied, "Sure, the faster I can get better, the faster I can get out of here."

Raven left, and I looked at Lexa and said, "I'm ready for my shower."
