closed starter for @romantiicas where: asena's spin class
❛ you have to promise to go easy on me. ❜ water bottle in hand with a towel slung over her shoulder, nelle was the picture of trepidation as she walked into the spin studio. one too many excuses had given way to, well, her worst nightmare. yoga was the closest she had ever gotten to group fitness, and even then, she preferred the solitude of an early-morning run. she saw asena's victims passing by the gallery sometimes, faces flushed and drenched with sweat, and envy was the farthest thought from her mind. but, she had given her word to try. ❛ so... do i pick any bike? ❜
asena lit up the second she spotted nelle hovering in the doorway. “easy on you?” she echoed with a soft laugh, already shaking her head. “babe, this is my easy. you should see what i make the regulars suffer through.” it was teasing ... light, warm, meant to take the edge off rather than scare her. she crossed the room to her, tapping the nearest bike with her knuckles. “you get the VIP treatment.” she smiled, adjusting the seat height with practiced ease. “i’m not letting your first class be a disaster story you tell everyone about later.” a beat, her smile softening. “meaning, if you hate it, we quit, no shame.”
