Being at work, Casey was due in this afternoon not long before I finished. Clearing the dirty towels, I thought nothing of him, that smirk on his face when he accused me of liking kissing him. A couple of days ago I had but that was a mistake. Now I just needed to get through it and deal with what he made me do.

As Casey walked in earlier than expected, he went straight to his office. I can't believe how nervous I just got. When he came out to speak to me about my shifts for next week, someone fell off a machine. Running up to the woman. Some girl had come over and said she saw a guy mess with the machine before. Casey looked over to who she was talking about and said he worked for another gym and was always looking for competition.

Looking at each other, we knew he was trying to ruin the business. Knowing that guy was long gone, I helped the woman up then tried to fix the machine as much as I could while Casey saw to her. During the end of my shift, Casey was looking stressed. I walked up to him and he considered going to the other gym to have it out with that guys manager just in case it got worse and they were closed down and sued. Telling me to stay put until he got back. I grabbed him and said I was coming too.

I had so much anger at Casey for kissing him and wanted to let it out on someone else, also the same someone who was destroying the equipment. As we drove there in silence I was so eager for revenge I forgot what was up with the uncomfortable silence.

As we got there and walked in Casey demanded the manager, who then invited us into his office. Demanding he fire his employee for trying to shut us down and injuring a member. The manager didn't even seem all that bothered. He believed we were confused, except when I grabbed him from behind did he then shout. Grabbing his mouth to shut him, Casey whispered a threat and pretended there was CCTV proof. That shut the guy up who then agreed to sought it.

Of course we weren't fooled. I wanted a new machine for the business, agreed, Casey wanted the other guy to be arrested for the sake of the gym, and the injured woman. He wouldn't have any of it. He didn't want it to cause trouble for his business. Calming me down before I lost it, Casey moved me aside, pinned him against the desk and said he would make sure his gym was wrecked piece by piece unless his employee was arrested. And he didn't care how the manager kept his gym out of it. He just better.

He looked shocked, frightened, but he said nothing as we walked out to the car. Shockingly it was later than I thought as it was getting dark. How amusing it was seeing Casey threatening like that. I liked it. We stood by the car and laughed about it but I could tell it was less funny to him as it was up to him to keep the gym afloat. I saw his dark eyes, stressed face.

When he looked up we saw the guy coming out of the building and pretend not to see us. As he drove off and out of sight we chuckled to each other then we stopped as we stared at each other. Him with a blank look on his face. God I wanted him. I leaned in close and kissed him. Pressing my lips to his, we made out. All our energy floating out of us into each other.
