Chapter Fourteen

“Should I whip us up some brunch?” Jake asked as they arrived at his apartment after church service.

They’d developed an easy routine and in a few weeks, the season would be over. Although Charlotte wanted Jake’s team to succeed, it looked like the team wouldn’t be getting far in the playoffs with one of their major players getting injured.

When Jake was in town, they worked out, hung out with friends, caught a movie, and cooked dinner together. She’d even turned him into a Sunday church-goer.

Charlotte shrugged her purse off her shoulder and removed her green heels. “What’s on the menu?”

“Whole wheat blueberry pancakes with grits and egg whites.”

“Hmmm. How about applesauce pancakes since it’s only seventy-five calories, lose the grits and egg whites, and substitute with fruit slices.”

Jake sighed. The woman was going crazy since she hadn’t lost weight in a few weeks. She’d already lost twenty-five pounds and wanted to lose the full fifty, but Jake had convinced her to compromise and only lose ten more pounds. “I thought I was the health nut here. Don’t go crazy cutting calories. Honestly, you don’t need to lose any more weight.”

“Says the former model-dater.”

“Former is the keyword.” He was a changed man. And this changed man likes hips, curves, and a fat ass.

She placed her hands on her seductive hips. “Well, I disagree. And I weighed myself the other day. I gained a pound.”

“I thought we agreed to only weigh on Sundays. Secondly, you know how weight fluctuates.”

Leaning against the wall, she crossed her arms. “I’m so close to my goal, Jake. I’m just ten pounds away and don’t want to screw up.”

He walked over and boxed her in. “How about this? Applesauce pancakes, lose the grits, but keep the egg whites.”

“But Jake, I—”

“You need the protein. Now, Sundays are usually a rest day. But since I’m such a good guy, I’ll allow you to do a very special workout. One guaranteed to burn lots of calories or your money back.”

“Really?” She stretched her doe eyes. “What’s the workout like?”

“I call it the Jake Ross extreme workout.” He grabbed her hips and lifted her into the air before peppering kisses on her neck. “You spend all day in the bedroom.” He squeezed her ass. “Fifteen minutes of warm-up where I stretch your legs and eat you.”

She sucked in a breath.

“Sixty minutes of intense cardio in different positions: cowgirl, the hot seat, waterfall—”

“S-sold. I’m sure I won’t need my money back.” She grinned. “Let’s go work out.”

“Everyone did great,” Charlotte addressed her dance class students. “We’re going to finish up the routine next week, so be sure to be here.”

Claps erupted from the Refurbished Dreams studio. She gave a quick bow. “See y’all next week.”

“Bye, Ms. Jones.” One of her youngest students smiled and waved.

Tiana and Melanie walked up as the crowd thinned out.

“I swear you’re trying to kill us!” Melanie stretched her arms and arched her back.

“Yes, these routines are not getting easier!” Tiana leaned against the mirrored wall.
