It was almost odd to find him looking at her every time she raised her eyes to look at him. It felt…as if he was paying attention to her and no one else. It made her a little uneasy at first but accepting that’s actually a good quality to have. Why dart your gaze elsewhere when you are clearly speaking to the person in front of you. It would be a sign that the other person was not confident enough. Unless of course, they are at fault and are hiding something. That’s when she did the same for the most part, taking a bite and then looking up at him, barely realizing that a friend of her husband’s had just walked out after picking up his order.<br/><br/>Siyah was sure a little uncomfortable with him hugging and kissing her. It was just odd to begin with and since she’d just met him, it made it weirder. Not to add, he was young…college young. And she was already feeling her age as if considering herself as an older woman now. Those crazy days were over, where you can just be spontaneous and careless, do whatever the hell you wanted to and explore. Her husband not going to gym with her didn’t mean that he didn’t love her. Matter of fact, she tried not to think about it in such a manner because she didn’t really go golfing with him. Does that mean she doesn’t love him? It would be nice but it is what it is.<br/><br/>She continued to eat casually, half way through her meal but not rushing as she listened to him intently, keeping her gaze on him and smiling softly,<strong>”Stay with your first week? What? The trainer? No…I mean no doubt, I liked the trainer concept and fully utilized it in the first two weeks of me joining the gym there. But I didn’t continue it for two reasons. One, it’s expensive and two, they slow me down.”</strong>She shrugged her shoulders and took a bite, sounding a bit surprised,<strong>”Sorry, no offense to you. But that’s cool. You worked as a trainer huh? I can totally see it.”</strong><br/><br/>When he offered to work out with her, she raised her brow at him, thinking for a second as she didn’t want to turn him down because she didn’t want to be mean. Besides, he’s going to be her new neighbor and she did always want a workout buddy. Though, wasn’t it too soon? To bond like this? The idea was tempting and she finally broke the silence,<strong>”Only if you promise not to slow me down.”</strong>She smiled and said it as a warning mixed with a challenge.<strong>”Or else, I might just have to fire you.”</strong><br/><br/>She smiled silly as she took a sip of her water before taking a last bite of her sandwich, listening to his proposal about jogging to the gym. The suggestion was good and this wasn’t the first time she’d thought about it. Matter of fact, she’d jogged to the gym four days in the past when her car was in the garage. It wasn’t that bad. Finally, she wiped her hands clean and raised them to grab her pony to tighten it. When he brushed her shoulder, she felt his warm tough but made noting of it.<strong>”Of course I have. And it may seem easier, it’s a lot tougher. But it was fun. So sure…but we can’t jog every day. Maybe three days a week?”</strong>She suggested and added,<strong>”But if you want to jog the other days, be by guest. You can. I will be taking my car.”</strong>She said as she did go do her chores right from the gym on certain days. Grocery shopping and meeting up with friends or whatever else there’s to do.<br/><br/>Once she was done with her sandwich, she leaned back to take a moment, finishing the water that was in her water bottle,<strong>”Oh and if you’re thinking of buying protein powder from there, don’t buy the vanilla one. I have the whole container of it at home. I bought it but didn’t like the taste of it. Used only two scoops. Chocolate’s the best.”</strong>She said sounding cheesy before she added,<strong>”All I mean to say is don’t waste your money. Try it first. I have some at home.”</strong>She shrugged her shoulders, liking how they were bonding over this already.<strong>”So, I am guessing you are in college? Working?”</strong>she asked him curiously.<br/>
