Zadia could feel her blood pulsing through her skull as she carried the weight of her whole body on both palms of her hands, sweat dripping from her forehead. Her breathing was slow, feet straight like an arrow, helping her keep the straight posture she had. "Took a power trip back home, I'm grown now and this city's my throne now. The same clubs that I used to get tossed out. Life got Kriss Kross'd, Totally Krossed Out." She rapped along to the J. Cole lyrics in a whisper, her eyes shut as she vibed to the beat. She was trying to clear her mind with a little bit of yoga since she hasn't been feeling herself lately. "Would you believe me if I said, I'm in love? Baby, I want you to want me. Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?"
Abel to the left of her was in the same position. His eyes were open wide, watching her. His arms wiggled underneath him and he groaned, feeling himself about to clasp. "How..." he grunted, keeping himself up. "do you do it, with so much ease?" He questioned her, sweat all over his face.
Zadia turned her head slightly, eyes still closed. "Balance." She let out, kicking her legs off the wall so she would have no support. She'd be lying if she said yoga was her thing... because it sure as hell wasn't, but she liked it more than the hardcore bullshit Roman had her doing.
Abel rolled his eyes. "See, now you're just showing off."
Zadia's eyes flickered open. "I am, aren't I." She turned her head back to its original stance and continued to rap along. "Love is a drug, like the strongest stuff ever And, fuck it I'm on one, you feel me? She on a power trip, she got me where she want a —" she stopped midway in her sentence when Abel's arms crumbled, sending him crashing to the ground.
"Fuck!" Abel groaned, in pain and out of breath.
Zadia bent her knees, so she could slide down with ease and sit on the wooden floor. "You okay?" She asked, a smile on her face because she was seconds away from laughing. "You've just gotta walk it off." Soon after the words left her mouth, she burst into a fit of laughing.
Abel huffed, sitting upright. His back leaned against the wall. "I'm never doing that again. Yoga sucks." He mumbled while Zadia continued to laugh at him. "It better be funny." He said and then sucked his teeth, a faint smile on his lips. Zadia had one of those laughs that made you want to laugh because of how it sounded.
"I'm sorry." Zadia took a moment to catch her breath, clutching onto her stomach. "It's just your face. You should've seen it, and the way you fell was priceless." She pushed herself, leaning against the way like him. Her eyes looked at the clock and she sighed. "It's already noon." She mumbled, grabbing the iPad Adam had lent her, so she could put the volume down. "What would you be doing right now on a Friday, during this time, if your life was back to normal?"
"Umm?" Abel looked down at his hands in thought. "I'd most likely be hanging with the crew, playing video games."
Zadia's face scrunched up. "Seriously? That's like the most boyish response ever. You didn't have any shorties or nothing before this?" She questioned, curiously. "I mean, I know you're not exactly the cleanest boy out here, but I'm sure you had these little girls going crazy over you."
