But something is missing.

And I think it's with Lux.

Before I realise it, I'm back at home.

I get out of my car, my mind clearer and I go up to bed.

I get undressed and flop down onto my bed and I breathe out.

My mind is still on what I just saw.

That, and her reaction.

I lay on my back.

My mind then moves to our meeting tomorrow morning.

I need to make a good impression.

Lux doesn't seem like the type of person that is swayed by what I'd be wearing, but I have to let her know that I'm serious.

I get the text from Lux for where we're meeting, and I make my way out of my apartment, locking up and making my way over.

I'm nervous.

Despite the fact that I asked her, I'm so nervous.

What if she flat out says no?

I take a deep breath and pull myself together.

If she does, I'll take it like a man.

I pull up at the address and I find myself in front of a café.

I walk inside and I look inside.

I see Lux almost instantly.

I gulp.

She looks good.

She spots me as I get closer and she gives me a small smile.

She gestures to the seat next to her and I take it.

"Thank you for meeting me" I say, clasping my hands together.

She nods, signalling to one of the waitresses.

The waitress approaches us and takes our orders, giggling at almost everything Lux says.

Lux smiles politely and I get my order taken too.

The waitress goes off and she turns to me.

"So what did you want to talk about?" She asks.

"I want you to train me again" I immediately spit out.

She doesn't even flinch, before asking

"Why?"

I take a deep breath.

"In the few days that we had... I saw an improvement. I'm both my balance and my flexibility" I say.

She nods.

"Okay" she says.

"Okay?" I ask.

"I'll talk to Kane, but I want to see you in the studio. On time. A minute later and you won't be back. You complain again, and you won't be back." She says.

I nod.

"That's fair" I respond.

She nods.

"I want you there at 5:30am. Your routine will become harsher for the days lacked. If you thought I was giving you heat before, you're going to be in hell tomorrow." She says.

I nearly flinch.

But I suck it up.

She's being very gracious right now.

She could have turned me away without a second thought.

"Yes Lux" I respond.

She smiles and just as she does, the waitresses places down our orders, flirting with Lux a little bit more, before leaving.

"Tomorrow, the intensity will really start" she says with a grin.
