“Fuck.” Leon couldn’t help but mutter under his breath as he walked closer to the sports center, feeling his stomach churn with the feelings of worry and sadness filling him. He had to meet up with a woman who hired him to watch her dogs for the weekend while she went on a business trip. However, her tight schedule made it so Leon would have to meet her after her aerobics class to get the papers from her about any specifics with the dogs. Of course it had to be aerobics. Leon wanted his friend back, but he knew it wouldn’t be the same. Not when Ellis admitted to liking him as more than a friend.
When he got to the building, Leon quickly found the woman and let her hand him the papers while she rambled on about one thing or another. He partly listened, but his eyes kept scanning the main area in case he saw Ellis. When she finished up, Leon smiled and reassured her that they would be taken care of. Biting at his lips after she walked away, Leon took a deep breath in and out through his nose. Maybe he could act like nothing changed. It was worth a try. His footsteps were slow as he walked into the aerobics room, swallowing hard before he let his presence be known.
“Seems like your class is doing well. I saw how many people left a little while ago. Guess it helps that more people are figuring out what aerobics is.” Leon let out a soft chuckle, a small smile on his lips as he hoped for the best. “You doing more classes than you were before?”
