I woke up in the middle of the night. I had a nightmare. As i opened my eyes i moved back. I woke James up. I turned around to see his worried face.

Ja:What's wrong?
A:Nightmare.
Ja:Never watch a horror film again.
A:No...it wasn't from the movie..
Ja:What was it then?

A tear fell down my cheek.

Ja:Don't cry,don't cry...come here. Tell me.
A:I've lost everything and everyone in a fire.
Ja:That's horrible...everything is alright now. Lean back. Relax.

I did what he said. He knew i would. He moved my head on his chest. I could hear his heartbeat. That calmed me down a lot.

Ja:Feeling better?
A:Yeah...
Ja:Go back to sleep. If you need me,i'm always here.

I fell asleep on his chest. I didn't have nightmares anymore.

I woke up at 9. I was too lazy to get up though. James was gone. All of a sudden i heard the door open. James saw that i was awake.

Ja:Get up!
A:No...
Ja:C'mon..
A:Nah..

I covered my head with a pillow.

Ja:Ok then...

He left and returned with a glass of water...wich he poured on me. Freezing. Cold. Water.

A:Ahhh!!Why did you do that?
Ja:Did it wake you up?
A:Well...
Ja:So yes..
A:Revenge!

I jumped on him. We were now both wet. Revenge,sweet revenge!

A:Have fun drying the sheets..
Ja:I knew i forgot about the aftermath...
A:Double revenge then...
Ja:We're even now.
A:Maybe...
Ja:Ok...get dressed..we're going at 10,not 11.
A:Ok..

He left. I got dressed and went downstairs. Mark was on his laptop,JD was watching TV and James..nowhere. Weird. I sat down. Mark looked at me.

M:Where are you going dressed like that?I hope you're not walking outside with your bra showing...
A:I'm going to the gym...and plus this is a sport's bra and i have a vest over.
M:To the gym?With who?
A:Guess...
M:James?
A:Yeah...
M:No!Look behind you!
Ja:Boo!
A:Hm?
Ja:Didn't i scare you?
A:You're not scary..slothy.
M:Oh My God!That's the best nickname ever!
A:I know...
Ja:Stop calling me slothy!
A:Nope..
D:Who's slothy and why is your bra showing?You're not going out like that!
A:James is slothy and i'm not going out...we're going to the gym.
D:Alone?Not while that maniac Zack is out..
Ja:We're going with my teacher,Mike.
D:And who said you can go?
A:You...
D:No,i didn't...you can-
A:Why?
D:Let me finish..you can go if..
A:If what?
D:If you prominse that you'll call me if you see Zack.
A:Ok..
Ja:Can we go now?
A:It's just 9:21.
Ja:It 's quite far.
A:Ok..

We left. It was cold outside so i got a jacket. We walked to the gym. A part of the training done. As we arrived a tall man walked towards us.

Ja:Hey,Mike.
Mk:Hey,J. Got a girl now?
Ja:She is Alex.
A:Hi.
Mk:Hold up!KA?
A:That's me.
Mk:I knew i recognised you from somewhere. Big fan,big fan.. So, let's get to work.
Ja:Yeah...what?
Mk:Arms.
Ja:Oh god...
Mk:C'mon!You have to impress her!Show her what'cha got in there!

He pointed towards his arms.

A:C'mon!Impress me...slothy.
Mk:She owns you,man. It should be the other way around.
A:Not in this relationship.
Mk:Man!You need to train a lot!She owns you good!Change it!
Ja:Oh,don't worry. It will change soon.
A:I want to see that.
Ja:You will.
Mk:I wanna see that too. Let's go.

We followed Mike to the main part of the gym. He went straight to the suspended bars. Pull-ups. Easy for me.

Mk:Let's see how good you are. Show me the best you can do.
Ja:Please,ladies first.
A:Oh,now you're a gentleman.
