"Like this?" Heather asked the martial arts instructor.
"Yes but bend your knees lower." instructed Kenji as he puts his arms around her.
"KENJI!"
They were caught off guard when they heard a pissed man's voice. They both straightened and looked questioningly at a red-faced Blake. She walked to get her towel at the back of a chair a little far from them. She also drank water from her water bottle. She wanted to avoid Blake as much as possible. It was too early to ruin her weekend.
"I thought the kids’ training is at 9." Blake asked Kenji while frowning.
The other man flexed his shoulder muscles. "Yes but I had the sudden feeling of wanting to come earlier. And I am glad I did. "He said with a grin before directing his eyes at Heather who was stretching in front of a big mirror. She had her airpods plugged in her ears.
Blake’s face darkened. "You shouldn't get involved with our clients.”
Kenji's smile disappeared then his forehead creased for a moment but after a moment his gin was back and he raised his hands as if in surrender.
"Ops! Sorry dude. Am I trespassing?" he as he looked at him while he on the other hand had his eyes on Heather’s back.
He narrowed his eyes then looked at Kenji without saying anything for a second or two. "No .Just be discreet. I don’t want people to say that the trainers are taking advantage of the clients." He finally said before turning to go to the locker room.
When he got inside he threw his sports bag against the wall then kicked his locker angrily.
"Bullshit!"
He was very angry. He was furious with what he saw though he didn’t have the right. And he didn't want to have the right.
"F*CK!" he cursed through gritted teeth.
He sat down on the bench with his head down between his legs. .He sat like that for a few minutes. He needed to clear his head. He couldn’t be like this. He needed a distraction.

Heather discovered that Kenji was fun to be with. He taught her the basics of self-defense but he made it more enjoyable by cracking jokes once in a while.
"The best self-defense is still is to run." He said with a wink.
They finished their lesson inside the room where kids had theirs because he said he didn’t want their lesson to be interrupted again. She agreed because the last thing she wanted was Blake barging in for the second time.
She was about to leave the room when Kenji asked, “Would you like to have coffee or a meal with me one of these days?"
She wasn't surprised that he would ask her out. She knew that he liked her. She had done some thinking last night. Maybe it was time that she stopped flirting with different men. She didn’t want a boyfriend but meeting men was inevitable so she might as well go out on dates.
"Okay." She nodded her head while she had a small smile on her lips.
He grinned ."I'll call you. I'll get your number later."
She nodded again. He had a class in a few minutes while she wanted to check the gym equipment. When she was out, she saw Blake with Pauline's sister, Ellie who saw her immediately.
