Body Guard

Julie:
I rolled my eyes at him and filled my mug. "Or maybe you desperately wanted to read about the love affair of Nick and Lisa. Its okay, you can tell me," I smirked back. I added some milk and augar to my mug and took a sip.

"Listen if this is how I'm going to learn about dating someone then I need something better written and it about two maried people cheating." Snorting I closed it and I tossed it aside. Focusing on her I smirked. "So why does sleepy head like romance books?"

Julie:
I glared at him and grabbed the book off the table. "I just like the story," I defended, tucking the book under my arm for safekeeping.

Laughing I shook my head, "So what about the other books huh?" I drained the last of my mug and got up to get it refilled.

Julie:
I rolled my eyes at him again and blushed slightly. "Would you shut up?" I said, heading for the couch. "No one asked you to raid my book case," I scolded. Although he knew I didnt care about that.

Shaking with laughter I hit the buttons to prepare my coffee. Her blush hadn't been lost on me and I grinned at the coffee machine while I waited. "I have breakfast on its way in an hour."

Julie:
"Good, I'm starving," I said, putting the book down on the coffee table. I hadnt had enough to eat yesterday and it was catching up with me today. "And if you dont stop smirking, I'll come over there and do something you dont like."

"You are welcome to try. I was thinking we could start your training now." I tried to look innocent as I picked up my drink and went to join her on the couch.

Julie
As soon as he sat down, I put my coffee cup on the table and grabbed his legs like I had last night, to pull them onto my lap. I had just done it last night so I hoped it wouldnt be suspicious, but just in case it was, I immediately started tickling his feet, which at this point, was his only known weakness to me.

I was surprised by her putting my legs over her lap. But since we'd done it yesterday I wasn't more curious than a passing glance. When she tickled my feet though I tried to yank my legs away from her grasp.

Julie:
I tried to keep hold of his feet for as long as I could but I let go after a second of his squirming. "I win," I said, triumphantly.

Dropping my feet back onto the floor I narrowed my eyes at her. Relaxing after a moment I smiled slowly, "Just wait until training. I will get my revenge."

Julie:
I smirked at him and shrugged. "Yeah, yeah, I'm not scared of you," I told him, kicking my feet up on the table.

"Then shall we start now? Before breakfast?" Raising an eyebrow I looked her way once more. My expression was one of both seriousness and tease.

Julie:
I shrugged like it didn't bother me. "The foods not here yet, so why not?" I asked, thinking I was calling his bluff. I raised an eye brow to copy him and see if he would go with it.

Nodding I got up with a slow stretch. "Then up with you. Go get dressed in clothes to work out." I looked down at her and smiled faintly. "You wanted me to do this. Don't forget that."

Julie:
I smirked and stood up too. "I know what I want," I told him. I headed for my room. "I just need five minutes to change," I told him, before shutting the door. I knew I didn't have a lot in terms of workout clothes but I grabbed what I usually wore for yoga and pilates. I had on tight leggings and a cropped sports bra. It wasnt indecent, but its less than Cody would normally see me in. I swapped my glasses for my contacts and threw my hair up into a ponytail before leaving the room. "I'm ready!" I declared, sitting on the couch for a minute to lace up my matching sneakers.

I was surprised she actually agreed to do it at this moment. But I could only nod and head off myself. Once in the guest room I stripped and tossed on my outfit from the day before. All my workout clothes were in my locker at the gym. Doing up my shoes I began to stretch already as I walked out.

I did a double take at her outfit not realizing what it was at first. I stared, openly looking her up and down for a few long seconds before I snapped out of it and flushed slightly. "Right, shall we go? We are going to the gym."

Julie:
I smiled and stood, adjusting my ponytail a bit. "Sure, lets go," I said, excited to start. I grabbed a sweatshirt from behind the door and zipped it up for the walk to the gym and locked up the door behind me. "What are we gonna do first, boss?" I asked.

"Running and sprints." I looked at her while we walked to the gym. "You should stretch as best of you can now."

Julie:
I felt my body deflate as soon as he said 'running'. I turned to him with a face that clearly said he was about to hear some whining. "running?" I asked. "I already know how to run," I whined.

Arching a brow at her I asked, "I thought you were ready for this?" Shaking my head I looked towards the gym. "Running to build stamina. Sprinting because it's wiser for you to run than try and fight."

Julie:
I sighed and nodded. I knew I had to start somewhere and I shouldn't have expected to jump right into the hard stuff. "I am ready for this," I said, opening the door to the gym. It was pretty early, but it wasnt empty like it was late last night.

"Find a place to get warmed up and stretch. I'm going to go change." Patting her on the shoulder I gave her an almost sympathetic smile. My trip to the locker room only took a few minutes for me to change into a shirt and gym shorts along with my sneakers.

Julie:
When he was out of sight, I made my way to a corner of the gym and sat down on the floor. I did some stretching and reached my arms out to my toes. I was already pretty flexible. I did yoga several times a week. I moved my ankles and hips and waited for him to come back.
