I walked into the gym on Friday feeling excited. I was so excited that I had arrived 10 minutes earlier than I'd planned. I used the extra time to practise.
The Miz walked into the gym smiling. He noticed his rookie stretching and stopped to watch, making sure she got it right. She did.
He felt his stomach flutter faintly when she turned and smiled brightly. He smiled back. She had some kind of effect on him, and he liked it.
Miz walked over to me, still smiling.
"You're early." he noted and I nodded.
"I am."
"Good, it means we can get more done."
"Awesome."
"Today we're gonna practise how to pin."
I rolled off Miz as he kicked out of my pin at 2. He then pinned me and I kicked out, too.
"Good. Now I'm gonna change between the different types of pins. Let's see how you many you can kick out."
He then pinned my shoulders by lying on me, forearm to my face. I just managed to force my shoulders off the mat. Straight afterwards he rolled me up into a small package and I forced him away with my feet. Next he hooked both my legs and I still managed to make it out before 3. This carried on for about 5 minutes, I only got pinned by him once.
He got up and clapped, then helped me up. I grinned, bowing.
I picked up my bag off the bench and turned to say bye to Miz. He waved and I returned it, then headed out to my car to go home.
Miz watched her walk out of the gym, only turning back when JoMo called his name.
"Mike, isn't that her water bottle?" he asked, pointing at the bench she'd left her water bottle on.
"Yeah, it is. I'll take her address from Vince and drop it off." he replied, picking up his own bag and then her bottle, too, on his way out.
