Chapter 8

　　"You see, you said you didn't know me but you almost stripped in front of me while people are watching. Have you done that before?" He asked seriously.

　　I cleared my throat and smiled. "No, it was my first time last night. I often do kiss and dance with men, that's all." I explained. It took him a while to understand my words before a ghost of smirk flashed through his lips. Just a moment later, he raised an brow before he nodded and went back to eating.

　　"You're still young, I don't know how you minors managed to go there, but don't do that again." This is like a teacher lecturing his student dinner for us, but I liked it somehow.

　　When we finished we went home. I don't want it to be called a mansion because it's cringe worthy when heard. It's still a house. Here he will stay while waiting for Kuya Lorenzo's wedding, there are many guest rooms. When the car stopped in front of the house I spoke.

　　"About what I've said earlier, I didn't mean that. I really wouldn't do that if I had known you were my cousin. I'm sorry, Wyatt." He looked at me and lick his lower lip while nodding slowly.

　　"Sure you don't." He agreed. I smiled at him before I opened the door and getting out of his car.

　　The next day, I woke up early to workout at our gym downstairs. I took a shower first and put on a gray sports bra and black leggings. I paired it with a black x gray Nike varsity compete. I tied my hair up then put my airpods and sang along with J Boog as I played his ‘Let’s do it again’.

　　I went down to the kitchen to drink water and I also got extra bottled water to take to the gym. I ran all the way there and pushed open the glass door.

　　"Nice to nice to know ya let's do it again, how we did it on a one night stand— oh one night stand!" I was gripped in my chest when I saw Wyatt lifting weights. He stopped what he was doing and turned to me.

　　"I can't do that with you." He joked then went back to working out.

　　He's wearing a white sleeveless and black nike training shorts paired with a nike airmax alpha. That’s also what kuya Sage uses when working out here. There was also a white towel hanging around his neck.

　　I exhaled sarcastically and went straight to the treadmill to warm up.

　　"Where's Sage?" I asked while running.

　　"Rehearsal." He replied.

　　I just shrugged and didn't answer.

　　I turned up the volume of the music to be able to concentrate on working out.

　　I spent half an hour in warming up then I proceeded on enhancing my abs.

　　I did some cable rotation, weighted plank row, standing side plank and russian twists. I was so sweaty when I finished, I couldn't even use the equipment because I was stuck on the mat.

　　I stood up and started a butt workout. I started with ski squats and positioned my feet. I clapped my palms together and started to squat.

　　I was four feet away when Wyatt suddenly removed one of my airpods. Irritated I turned to him. "What the .. can't you see I'm concentrating?" I spatt on him.

　　"You can't hear me, I said you're doing it wrong." He says.

　　I exhaled fantastically and looked up at him, because I was only up to his shoulder. So you're watching me, huh?

　　"Hey cousin, I've been doing this for a long time and I know what I'm doing so please don't— hey!" He grabbed me tightly by my shoulder and turned me away from him.

　　He also removed the remaining airpods in my ear and threw them to whereever. "What squat are you doing?" He asked at my back. He was still holding my shoulder.

　　I frowned and tried to look at him but he fixed my behind to him so I just sighed and rolled my eyes.

　　"Ski," I replied lazily.

　　"Close your legs a bit." He commanded and I obliged. "More." I blew air and followed him. "Now go on,"

　　He let go of my shoulder and I started to squat, just lifting me up when he applied his palm to my exposed back. My eyes widened and I stood up straight.

　　"What the?"

　　"What? About face, I'll teach you."

　　"You just want to touch me,, eh!"

　　He raised an eyebrow at me. Aba't ?! "Aren't you the one who almost undressed in front of me, cousin?" He was teasing.

　　I hit him but he grabbed my hand and used it to turn me around. He grabbed one of my shoulders and the other he put back behind me. "Now squat, Bernice." He said in a low tone.

　　"Urgh screw you—"

　　"Squat."

　　I could not calm down. I swallowed while squatting, disgusting.

　　"Lower."

　　I'm even lower

　　"Lower Bernice,"

　　I was still lowering.

　　"Up."

　　I stood up and repeated that. He released me after three squats. "Repeat that for 40 seconds." He said before turning his back on me. I followed what he said and then did other squats.

　　After that, I toned down while he was sitting on a weight bench and drinking water. I watched him drink as a few beads of sweat dripped from his hair and neck.

　　When I finished, I approached the treadmill and picked up the phone I had placed there.

　　I walked over to the wall fixed mirror and took a mirror shot, took my whole body and I intentionally included Wyatt who's wiping his sweat at my back. I secretly smiled when I saw the photo.

　　"Hey, Wyatt," I called while staring at my shot. He didn't answer. "What's your ig?" I asked.

　　"Why?"
