Change VII - Austin

"What's? Papa is so brave." Glenda looked at her papa with a sour face.

"That's so you're skinny faster."

"Have not kept arguing. Now let's eat." Fidela cut through their debate. The woman grabbed some of the side dishes she had made into her plate. Then switch to taking it for her husband and child.

Glenda walked into the gym with slow steps, her gaze circling around the gym to look for an Austin figure. "It seems that he hasn't arrived yet" Glenda murmured as she found Austin nowhere. Glenda then approached some of the tools there and started using them while waiting for Austin to arrive. Not long after he was on the treadmill, Austin arrived and approached him; using the treadmill next to him right near the one he was using.

"Hi, we meet again." Sapa Austin made Glenda switch focus on him. Glenda smiled with her face together, finally the one she was waiting for arrived as well.

Austin focused on using the object, while Glenda did not want to lose to Austin and joined more spirit.

After the exercise, Glenda decided to take a break if she did not want to faint and bother everyone in the gym. He sat in one of the chairs there, grabbed his bottle of water and gulped it greedily to relieve thirst.

Austin, who had just finished, approached Glenda and sat down right next to her. He smiled as he watched Glenda sitting next to him. Feeling watched by two pairs of Austin eyes. He looked towards Austin who was looking at him. Glenda was stunned as the man continued to watch her up close.

"You have beautiful eyes," murmured Austin looking irishly at Glenda's eyes. The fat woman just kept quiet and smiled, and her cheeks met each time Austin kept teasing her. "What's your name, by the way?"

"A beautiful name for an angel like you. My name is Austin." Austin shook his hand. As Glenda's skin surface came into contact with Austin, she felt his warmth, her hands powered up with veins. Before long, the two of them released their hands. "Sounds like you've been here a lot?"

"Not really, just a few times a week and it just so happens that we meet again" murmured Glenda. Austin just nodded his head in his words.

"Oh yeah, do you have any free time after this? If I may, I'd like to get to know you better. How about we talk while we eat together? Must be fun."

"Ma-eat together?" Glenda repeated Austin's speech. The man nodded, saying, "we're alone?" Glenda made sure again and Austin again replied with a nod of his head, the man smiling at Glenda's words that seemed to disbelieve him. Glenda is silent, anyone please slap her! Glenda really could not believe what she had just heard from Austin.

"Hey? Why are you even daydreaming? Do you want it or not?" Austin said that Glenda immediately woke up from her daydream. "I-I want to, but... don't you work?" Glenda.

"It just so happened that I was taking a leave of absence, the plan was that I wanted to find a new job and quit my old office. So I'm empty for now."

Glenda sat down and looked at the handsome man who was enjoying his food right in front of her, she still could not believe that Austin would invite her to eat together like this. Especially a fancy restaurant.
