Body Guard

Finding her was an easy task. This early in the morning we had a few people around, but most of them were male. And if nothing else Jules stood out and had already drawn a few eyes. Near her I could see a guy, one of the gardeners if I had to make a guess purposely try and show off with his weight lifting close by. Rolling my eyes I focused on her and watched her stretch for a moment before going over. "Warmed up?"

Julie:
I stood up when I heard him and nodded. "Yeah I'm ready," I told him. I stripped off my sweatshirt and put it on the ground near the wall. "Please dont tell me I have to run around this room of sweaty guys," I deadpanned.

"You haven't spent much time in the gym have you." I gestured up above towards glass walls set a floor above us. "We have an indoor track on the second floor. It over looks the main gym and has some treadmills and aerobics along the outside of the track. We'll be running up there. Come on."

Julie:
"Oh. I mostly go to the yoga room," I shrugged. I picked up my sweatshirt and followed him to the track, which was actually really nice. "Wow, its been up here," I commented.

"We have one out side the gym too. But this is air conditioned." Getting myself ready I got us both moving at a walk around the track.

Julie:
"Air conditioning is always welcome," I agreed. We started walking and I looked over at him. "We dont have to move at a snails pace, you know?" I asked.

"Fine. One lap. Sprint as fast as you can. Go." I waved a hand, shooing her away. My plans was to make her run, jog, and sprint for the better part of an hour or until she collapsed. I could only assume she was starving after yesterday and didn't want to push her too hard but more wanted to get a gauge on how far I could push her.

Julie:
I stsrted without questioning him. I didnt run all the time but I wasnt out of shape. I could sprint a little. I made what I figured was good time around the lap and then stopped in front of him. I was breathing a little heavy but I looked at him expectantly. "What now?" I asked.

"One more time. As fast as you can." While she had been running. I'd worked on building a map in my head of what we could work on today. I wasn't going to over whelm her, that much was certain. But I would push her to see just what she could do and how well she'd do it.

Julie:
The second lap was a little harder and my lungs were starting to protest. When I stopped infront of him again, I put my hands on my hips. I just waited this time for instructions.

I led her through several more exercises, mostly focused around cardio. I made her do jumping jacks, army crawls, short distance sprints, and more. I left a few windows between actions for her to catch her breath but always kept her moving. When I finally called us to a stop I smiled at her. "I think we are done for now. You did well." My last thing was to send her on a walk around the track to cool down some while I grabbed two bottles from my locker. Filling them with water I found her and offered her the other before speaking.

Julie:
I took the water and took a few greedy sips. The workout was definitely more intense than i had ever experienced before. I was covered in sweat and my my entire face was flushed. "If that was payback for this morning, you win," i told him, leaning against the wall.

"I just know how much you hate running. But it was going to happen anyway. The best idea for you to do in a situation is run. I will still teach you self defense but your best option will always be to run." I looked her over, trying not to just openly check her out. As it was she looked good. "I think first order of business is getting you a shower and then food." Putting an arm at the small of her back I gently got her moving again.

Julie:
I walked with him for a few steps but then I stopped and turned to face him. "I know that I should run." I told him, softly. "And as long as you're there and everything under control, I'll run, I promise," I said. "I just wanna know I can do something if I cant run, or you're not there...or if something happens to you," I mumbled.

I took a few extra steps before turning to face her. My gaze softened at her words and I moved to hug her tightly. "I'm not going anywhere. Nothing is going to happen to me. I'll teach you, and I'll keep from letting your dad know like you asked."

Julie:
I hugged him back tightly and sighed. He couldn't promise me that nothing would happen to him, as much as I wish he could. "Thank you," I said. I pulled away and smiled at him. "Now lets get back so I can take a shower because I feel disgusting," I told him.

Smiling back I ruffled her hair with a nod. "Alright. I can work out in your room." I had done almost nothing while making her work out. I could probably have taken a break but I liked keeping my daily activities.

Julie:
"Or, you can make me something to eat," I suggested with a smile as we started walking again. He hadn't broken a sweat at all and next to him, I felt like a unkempt monster.

"Emily was going to have breakfast brought to the room but I can if you want me too. What would you even want me to make?" Cooking wasn't my best skill but I had a few things I knew how to make decently well.

Julie:
"Oh, I actually forgot about Emily. Forget it, you're a horrible cook," I teased. Making our way back to my room was quick and I wasted no time kicking off my sneakers. "I'm going right into the shower!" I announced, heading for the bathroom.

"Have fun. Food isn't here yet." I looked around then shrugged. While she showered I figured I might as well work out. And after she disappeared into her room I found a clear spot on the carpet and started doing pushups.

Julie:
Aftet i finished my shower, I wrapped myself in a towel and stepped into my room to get dressed. I put on something comfortable because i wasnt planning on leaving the roon today and then went to the kitchen to see if the food has arrived. What I saw was a now sweaty looking Cody doing push ups. And he was very good at them indeed

Panting I got myself back to my feet to look at her. "Hey. Feel better?" Grabbing the hem of my shirt I pulled up the front to mop my face as best I could. A part of me wanted to do more work but a knock at the doorway to her wing had me pause. Going over I answered the door, earning a very flustered chat with the chef who brought the food and I carried the heavy tray to the table. "Breakfast."

Julie:
I smirked and grabbed a roll from the tray to start eating. "Can you please stop wooing the person who is beingint me food?" I asked with my mouth full

"I didn't woo anyone." I frowned at her. "As you said about yourself I'm currently all sweaty and gross right now." I gestured towards myself.
