You're Mine

Chapter 18: Let This Be A Start

All the cloudy thoughts that has been bugging me ever since I came here got washed out when I got a good night sleep. Come on, who wouldn't be bummed after knowing that you are sharing a floor with the man who actually wants to divorce you? It is just funny because I was the one who planned to ask for that but he only happens to propose it first.

Besides, what should I expect as well? That he would stay single and wait for my return? I'm not the only one responsible for this because I'm also at fault here to be begin with. But that chance that I gave him that night when I went back to Gaffan and ended up seeing him and Silvia together, isn't that a sign of the heavens that this marriage won't work anymore? We are just hurting ourself more and to think that he went to the hotel the next day, screaming for a chance, I do not know what to think anymore.

Jeez, marriage is a pain in the ass. It's only a pain because we got married at such a young age! We only care about the love we share and didn't think aboht the consequences it holds. Marriage is not just because of love for it is also the responsibility and the power to do everything just save it. But in our case, it was hard.

Fuck, at 5 am and this is what I'm already thinking? Great. It is really top early to start a breakfast and usually at an hour like this, I was working out at the gym.

And thag just gave me the idea.

I quickly got off the bed, do some morning routine and arrange my looks. I don't want to look too haggard at this time so I put on a red lipstick and then put on my gym clothes. It just a green sports bra and some leggings to keep myself comfortable while performing those stunts later.

Since it is already weekend, I don't want to laze around and let myself just flow whatever my body leads me to. I must make a plan and finish my paintings later. Offers has been piling up and as much as I can, I want to go back to Paris the sooner the better and avoid anymore complications. But of course, I must take care of some papers for the divorce and it might be the reason that will make me stay here a little longer. But I will have our family lawyer take care of it.

When I stepped onto the lobby of the building, I was greeted by Ramon who was standing next to the reception area. He is the one mostly in charge every morning and he is actually a nice lad, very kind and very sweet. His wife is so lucky have such man.

"Good morning, Ramon!" I cheerfully greeted him.

He glances at me and smiled widely. "Oh, Ms. Berekely, good morning to you too. I hope you had a splendid night."

"Yep, just a few drinks and I'm passed out." I joked.

Ramon laughed with me. "So, heading for the gym?"

"Yes, actually. I need to get rid off the excess." I shrugged then started walking.

"Okay, Ms. Berekely. Have fun at the gym!" he waved at me goodbye. I saw the other day that there is a gym two blocks from here so I just followed my sense of direction. Luckily, I got there and there are only a few people there.

I was signing for a member when suddenly, of all times, I got a chance to bump into Lucas again as he enters the door.

"Hey, it's good to see you here." Lucas stated as he signs in.

"You always come here?" I asked, trying to act casual in front of him after I was done signing the membership.

"Yes, it became a routine every morning." Lucas replied, while racking his eyes to check me wholesome. Then his eyes settled and made an amused smile upon seeing my toned abs. "And you too seem to have a often visitation at the gym too."

"I have a few equipments in my aparment back in Paris and...yoga?" I mentioned, entering further to the gym but we didn't separate ways yet.

"Hm...it is kinda obvious. Your body is toned and fit." Lucas mentions with a smile. "So, I will be heading here, how about you?"
