NOVEL NEXT Chapter 88: At the Gym
"Who's that guy?" One of the muscular men at the gym asked another.
"I don't know, but he's been going at it for almost an hour now," he said, as he watched Yohan bench press a 85kg weight lift.
Beads of sweat gathered on his face as he lifted the weight before bringing it down to his chest, and doing it again.
"28, 29… 30," There was a bit of strain before he called out the final number, hanging the weight on the holding bars.
He stood up from the bench, and flexed his hand, "Finally I'm starting to feel something,"
His muscles were more defined than usual, pumped up by the work out session. Since he had been going from one equipment to the other, pushing himself as far as he could but he didn't even feel in the least but exhausted.
"uhmm… excuse me," a feminine voice called out beside him.
It was a very pretty blonde girl accompanied by two other sexy girls in gym clothes. They were blushing and giggling to themselves like they were approaching a movie star.
"Hello ladies," Yohan said with a flirtatious smile.
"I don't think I've seen you around before, I'm sure I would have noticed a handsome guy like you," she said with a smile and folding her hands forward, pressing her breasts with her upper arm to make them pop out.
Naturally as a man, Yohan couldn't look away from her plump chest, full and almost spilling out of her tank top.
'Damn, she's fucking sexy'
his mouth watered, but then he fought back the urges,
'I can't let her think I'm that easy, if she wants me I have to at least make her work for it'
"Yeah, I only joined the gym today," he replied
Her eyes widened excitedly, "And you are already so strong? You must be some kind of professional,"
Yohan chuckled, "No, this is actually my first time in a gym,"
She came closer and rubbed his arm, "Well you have an amazing body,"
"Yeah, it's true," one of the other girls poked his torso with her finger.
Yohan was enjoying all the attention but he didn't want to let it get to his head, he shook her off and gave them some space,
"Ladies, could we slow down," he said teasingly, "you haven't even introduced yourselves,"
'I didn't know gym girls were this direct, maybe it's because they are very confident in their looks' he reasoned
"We should probably get to know each other before we start rubbing skin," he teased, the boldness of the line making the girls exchange amused glances.
"Oh sorry, I'm Valerie," the girl with the blonde hair said. The rest followed suit, introducing themselves.
"I'm Yohan, nice to meet you,"
"Yohan," she repeated,
"Now that we've gotten to know each…" she came closer and grabbed his hand again, this time allowing his arm to even press against her breasts.
"You should come help me with my workout…"
"Who the hell are you?!" A voice asked angrily.
Just then a man approached, the guy wasn't too muscular in fact he was even a little bit scrawny, but he was accompanied by the muscular guy who had registered Yohan into the gym earlier.
Yohan was too stunned to react at first, taking a moment to observe the guy.
Until Valerie spoke nervously, "Babe he joined the gym today, so I was only just being friendly,"
"Shut the hell up you fucking slut," the guy said angrily, grabbing her by the arm and yanking her away.
"Ahh!" she screamed, "Babe you are being too rough,"
Yohan grabbed the guys hand, "hey, you shouldn't be that rough with a lady,"
"And who the hell do you think you are, you should try to mind your fucking business," The raised his hand and threw a punch.
But Yohan caught his punch with ease, "Why are you being so aggressive, I only said you should calm down,"
Then the muscular guy that Yohan had met earlier shoved Yohan away, "Hey maybe you should just mind your business and stick to what you came here for,"
"Are you blind? Can't you see that bastard was the one who threw the first punch?"
"And so? Who do you think you are to speak to me like that in my gym?" The guy said.
"So what if you are the owner? That doesn't give you the right to disrespect whoever you like, aren't you supposed to be even nicer to customers?"
"This fucker, it's like you don't understand the situation you are in to be running your mouth like this. If you make a move on my girl I'll have to put you in your place,"
"But I didn't even make a move on your girl, like she said we were only just getting to know each other," Yohan sighed, at this point he was already getting tired of the whole situation,
"Now that you know that, I think I deserve an apology," his brows furrowed.
"I happen to be a business owner myself and I would never disrespect my customers like this,"
The guy smirked, stepping up to him "If you don't like the way I do my business you should find yourself another gym,"
"Okay I guess will… right after you give me back my money,"
"What money?" He asked.
"The one I gave to that big boffon over there when I came in this morning," he pointed at the muscular guy.
To be honest, the money wasn't an issue for Yohan. He couldn't care less about the chicken change, what cut deep was the disrespect. That was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
"Did he give you any money?" The scrawny guy asked.
"No boss," The muscular guy replied almost immediately.
"What kind of stupid game are you both playing," Yohan was confused, "There are cameras all over the place I can easily just call the cops,"
The scrawny guy chuckled, "you forget I own the place, I can make all the videos disappear if I like. Hey Gerald, throw this dumbass out,"
"Sure thing boss," The muscular guy grabbed Yohan on his arm.
But Yohan scoffed, before grabbing his wrist and twisting it.
"This level of disrespect on my first day, maybe I should just tear this whole place down,"
