"Binulabog mo ako umagang-umaga para mag-gym kaya tumayo ka diyan."
Aiden pulled my collar minutes after I dropped myself on the ground after running on the treadmill for I don't know how long.
"Give me a few seconds." I said and sat before I inhaled and exhaled aggressively.
I massaged my head when I felt a little bit dizzy. Nahilo yata ako dahil kanina pa kami nina Aiden at Elijah dito at hindi pa ako nakapapapahinga simula nang dumating kami.
"Susunod daw si Kiel kasama si Ram." I breathed heavily for the last time before standing up to go to where the dumbbells were.
I'll do deadlifts.
I busied myself with the lifts until I saw Kiel and Ram entering the place. I shook my head when I saw how some women's gazes went to them, not just gazes from women actually, some were from men. They were attracting so much attention that I prayed they wouldn't go straight to us. Baka may lumapit na naman na kung sino.
Kanina ay merong mga lumapit, mga kakilala at yung iba naman ay hindi, ngunit umalis din nang mapagtanto na hindi kami interesado lalo at wala man lang akong tinignan. Si Elijah and Aiden naman, well...
I sat straight with heavy breathing and watched them do some sparring. Or maybe it isn't sparring at all because it's only Aiden throwing some punches and kicks. Elijah, on the other hand, just kept on dodging and letting Aiden do whatever the latter wanted.
Kung ako 'yan baka kanina ko pa sinuntok pabalik si Aiden.
"That hurts!" I laughed when Elijah walked away after earning a punch from Aiden and it landed on his arm.
"That wasn't even a strong punch. Lakasan mo pa, Aiden!" panggagatong ko ngunit hindi sumunod ang isa at nilapitan si Elijah para tignan ang braso nito.
Napangiwi ako at umiwas ng tingin nang maalala ang nasaksihan noong nakaraang buwan. That shit still gives me goosebumps whenever it crosses my mind.
"Kanina pa kayo nandito?" I nodded my head at Ram and Kiel when they went straight to me.
"Where's Red?" it was Kiel who asked me this time.
"I called him earlier but it was Rain who answered the call and told me that Red was still snoring."
Or maybe he wasn't really snoring and he only asked Rain to answer the call because he didn't want to join us. Simula nang maging sila ay mas lalong hindi na siya mahiwalay kay Rain.
"Hayaan mo na, pamilyado na 'yung tao." we laughed at what Aiden said.
Nakalapit na pala sila ni Elijah sa amin.
"Let's do sparring, Kiel."
He ignored my request at first but agreed later on when he got tired of the lifts.
"No punching on the face." paalala niya na dahilan ng pagkunot ng noo ko.
He ended up complaining the whole time we were sparring because I didn't listen to what he said and threw some jabs on his face.
"That's enough!" he hissed.
That didn't stop me though. The gym echoed with the sounds of gloves hitting pads and Aiden's cheers, but I don't know who he was cheering for. My breathing hitched when Kiel shifted his weight from side to side and raised his fists for defense and to protect himself because I was already leaning forward to throw another jab.
"Blake, calm down! Sinong nanakit sa'yo?" Aiden, who was laughing earlier because he found everything funny, sounded nervous now despite the faint laughs coming out of his mouth.
