A Week Marches By

Club 36 was bustling, it was early evening and the after work crowd was filling up every machine available. Kenny was laid back on a bench press, doing yet another set with his barbell. He'd been going strong for the first hour of his workout, but this second hour of intense workout was really starting to weigh on him. With a huffing grunt he finished his set and barely got the barbell positioned on the rack, "Great job! That's break!" A blonde standing over him in sprightly tone.

Kenny weakly looked over, it was Ellie Westchester of course. It had been a week since he had his intense two day encounter with Nicole, Quinn, and Ellie, and since, things had quieted down for the most part. Quinn hadn't been able to sneak out of her house since, and when she was around, she was with Julie of course, but that didn't stop the redhead from sending Kenny more than a fair sure of dirty messages in the night. Nicole had also be mostly silent with him, the teen wasn't sure if the girl was upset with him for disappearing that night without telling her, but from the few friendly texts he had gotten, she seemed alright.

This left Ellie, and Kenny had ended up spending more time with the blonde then he had expected. Almost every day since his night with Quinn he had seen Ellie at Club 36 from the start of her shift to closing. Sometimes Juliet did come along, and Ellie would play it safe, focusing almost all of her attention on the brunette, but after Juliet left, or on the nights she didn't join Kenny, they had each other. Kenny would have thought it a dream...if Ellie wasn't such a demon when it came to his workout.

As Kenny huffed to catch his breath, Ellie looked up from her phone and snapped her fingers two quick times, "Okay, break times over, give me another fifteen,"

Kenny groaned and shut his eyes, "Come on, Elle, give me a few more minutes, I'm dying over here,"

Ellie put her hands on her hips and bent over, hovering over Kenny's face, "No whining," Kenny begrudgingly opened his tired eyes and stared up at the blonde girl. "I took it easy on you last night since Julie was here, so today we need to make up for that. If you want to be in shape by the end of the summer, you need to put in the effort,"

Kenny groaned again, "I am putting in the effort, I'm just exhausted,"

Ellie gave her eyes a slow roll. Kenny saw a sudden sly smile grow on her lips and she bent over further, her cleavage now right in his face and her lips at his ear, "Come on, if you show me one hundred and ten percent now, at closing I promise to give you a nice reward," Ellie pulled away, gave her eyebrows a few bumps while pressing her tongue against the inside of her cheek and gave a quick lewd motion with her hand.

"Oh that's so not fair..." Ellie playfully giggled back, "Damn it. Come on, Ken, you can do this!" Kenny shouted, grabbing the barbell and starting another set,

"There you go! Properly motivated," Ellie clapped, feeling both proud in Kenny and in her own abilities. Even if Kenny didn't have a full understanding, Ellie knew she was returning to a level of confidence in herself that Will had chipped away at for months.

Ellie stood back and crossed her arms, admiring the view as Kenny fought his way through another set for her. It wasn't immediately apparent to anyone passing by Kenny's progress, but with a couple weeks worth of working out both in the gym...and in the bed, Ellie could notice the slight change. He arms were starting to get more defined, his stomach firmer, and legs a bit more muscular. He had a long way to go for sure, but by the end of the summer...Ellie felt her cunt quiver at the thought.

It was at this point that the entry bell chimed, "Ellie? Oh, Ellie!" The blonde girl turned, her chest almost immediately flared as she immediately recognized the voice. Kenny pushed the barbell back onto the rack, and lifted his head as well. Rushing over to the pair with a giant, friendly smile was Nicole, "I knew it, I knew it, I knew that was Clark's car!" Nicole laughed, "This is awesome, you're both here!"

"Nikki?" Ellie asked, barely able to hide her annoyed tone, "What are you doing here?"

Nicole innocently tilted her head, "Uh, duh, I'm obviously here to work out!"

Kenny gave a tired smiling nod, but Ellie continued on before he could speak, "What are you talking about? You hate the gym, Nicole, you always have,"

"Uh, no sweetie, I said I hated your kind of gym. You always go too fucking crazy with it, I prefer to lose a few pounds, and then go chill out, not pass out on the floor," Nicole giggled before resting a hand on her pleasantly plush stomach and sighing, "But regardless, I think I've put on a few too many pounds since Devin and I hit the breaks, and if I can't fuck off the weight, then I might as well come here and hang out with you," Nicole moved her eyes over to Kenny, and eyed him, "And Clark too, apparently," Kenny let out a soft chuckle and nervously swallowed, "So this is where you've been keeping yourself all week,"

"Uh-huh, I've been helping him workout almost every night," Ellie answered for the teen, trying to get Nicole's attention back on her,

"I can fucking tell, you're looking good, Clark. You gonna show me those abs?" Nicole teased and Ellie unconsciously balled her hand into a fist,

"Check back in a few months, or maybe years," Kenny joked back.

Ellie cleared her throat and Nicole finally looked back over, "Nikki, you can't workout in a pair of jeans and a tight band tee. Do you even have anything to tie your hair back?"

"Mm hmm," Nicole nonchalantly replied, turning to the locker room, "You got a spare set of clothes in your locker I could use?" Nicole pulled her blood red hair back and tied it into a tight top bun, letting two strips of bangs hang off from her temples.

"Yeah, sure, number eighteen," Ellie called back with a sweet smile, Go ahead, you want to work out with me Nikki, I'll fucking make you work out. Ellie's arms crossed as Nicole moved to the locker room. The blonde looked over to Kenny who was gawkingly watching the redhead's every step, his eyes clearly on her ass, "Who said you could take a break, you're not even halfway!" Ellie barked out and Kenny quickly laid back down and started back up again.

_Nicole can't be here just to work out, that's not how she operates. She's flirting with Kenny, but not in that playful, fun way she'll do to anyone, she couldn't take her damn eyes off him. _Ellie's upper lip twitched, Well, fuck that, she's not just going to swoop in and take him away because she's bored with Devin. I'll put her through everything I can until she breaks and leaves. Ellie let out a calming breath and smirked again. And then, I'll close up the gym and help Kenny relax and unwind in my office the best way I know how. Remind him way he keeps coming here, and what he always has to gain.

Ellie felt calmed and assured in her plan, and returned her focus back to Kenny for another solid few minutes until they both suddenly heard another giggle. Looking over they found Nicole standing in Ellie's spare gym outfit, her wide hips stretched her gym shorts straight out to the point her ass was half hanging out from the bottom, and the blonde's crop top was barely able to contain her D-Cup breasts, "It's a little small," Kenny let out a shaky breath and Ellie instantly felt shaken as even she could accept that Nicole looked enticing to any guy with a set of eyes right now, "So what's first?!"
