@ Journey to Gym

(Seems like I forgot something but since I don't remember what is it, I cannot do anything about it)

Currently I'm walking together with Garcia to the Gym. Usually a guy would love to have a date with a girl. Especially if that girl is cute and lovely. Unfortunately, I don't know if the words 'cute' and 'lovely' are applicable to the girl that I'm walking with right now. Garcia certainly has her own kind of charm, she looks mature, capable, and also looks strong to me. But right now she is grabbing my hand too tight, even squeezing it.

"Um, Garcia, could you let go of my hand? You're holding it too tight." Yup, right now we are walking together with our hand locked together. Well, more like she is holding my hand as if she doesn't want to lose me.

"No! The first time I was not ready so you manage to get away from me. And the second time you went with me, and yet, you still ram away. So I still don't trust you enough to be certain that you won't do it again for the third time." Garcia's answer made me start think again. Hmmm.... apparently this is already the third time I went together with her. The first time, my escape was a success. While the second time it was a failure. The incident somehow even affecting my memory or something. I wonder how hard she tackled me at the second time that it even made me get amnesia.....

"But.... aren't you embarrassed, Garcia? Look around us! A lot of people are already looking at us." I try to reason with her. Yeah, especially since it seems that I was being dragged by her. Not like a lovey dovey couple at all.

"So? I'm used to people looking. As long as they don't bother us, than it's not a problem." Uh, she has a point there. But it's a problem for me you know!!! Now, how should I handle this.....?

"All right then, how about we do it like this?" Instead of me trying to resist her hold on me, I move my body closer to her, and try to position myself as the one who holds her instead. More like as if we are half hugging, as I try to put my arm around her shoulder.

"What are you doing?" She gazed at me with a threatening stare but I already walked side by side with her with my hand on her shoulder.

"Well, if you don't want to let go of me, than I just have to proof to you that I don't have any intention of running away. If my position is very close to you, any sudden movement that I make, to run or to escape, you could easily grab hold of me to stop me from running away. Right?" Yeah, me and my stupid reasoning have done it again. If I cannot pull out, why not just try to push in? Maybe she would be the one who pushes me back and then it won't be my fault to bail out.

"...." Okay, the silent responds she has is not helping at all. What is this? How come she could just choose a neutral position? Not giving a proper answer at all. Not Fair!

*breathing softly* Crap! My position is too close to her. Now we are walking close enough together as if like we are a lovey dovey couple. I could even hear her breathing besides my ear. I should do something!

"Garcia, why do you want me to join the Gym? I'm not really a physical type of guy, you know." I try to ask her a question that seems like not random at all.

(Seems like I forgot something but since I don't remember what is it, I cannot do anything about it)

"...." Why does she still keep quiet?

"I think you already know the answer to it, Roland." Finally she answer me.

"I do? Really?" Yeah... maybe... but I'm still not too sure.

"You know we almost never talked to each other before. But sometimes when we meet with each other. We only look at our own way. But every time I see you, I feel there is something peculiar about you." Wow, that sounds kind of romantic. Are you sure that this is really your feelings Garcia? Not just..... excuses?

"Peculiar? What do you mean?" I ask for more detail from her.

"It seems like we know each other already. But I don't know much about you. I only know you as one of the residents here. Just one of my neighbors. But there are a times that makes me decide that I want to know more about you. At that time, when I look at you, and then you look back at me. And when our eyes met. I felt that there is something between us there. I don't really know what. But that is what made me make a move at you."

(Seems like I forgot something but since I don't remember what is it, I cannot do anything about it)

"Why do I want you to join the Gym? I just need someone new in the Gym to bully. That's all. And you look like an easy target. Huhuhu, I even managed to make you promise me to join the Gym." Uh... I somehow already predicted this kind of answer, but hearing it directly from her really makes it hurt me. Especially now since she whispered those answers to me while we are still holding hands of each other.

Phew, chapter 3. But somehow, near the end of the chapter, I felt my head kinda empty and even a little dizzy. Maybe because I'm trying to finish up a quicky chapter while feeling sleepy, near the middle of the night (almost midnight at my local timezone area) and that makes me undecided of how the end of this chapter should be. Should it be romantic? Mystery? Or just plain mischievous/evil? And then I try them all?
