Everything's changing.

"Dude, I can't believe Auckland City drew against Boca Juniors." Sai's voice is muffled by the chicken parma filling his gullet, "Where the fuck even is Auckland?" He laughs as some crumbs fall onto the table in front of him.
I grin and sip my coffee and take a bit of my bagel, "New Zealand dude, I told you the other day after Bayern thrashed them."
"Oh, true true. Imagine if they had been able to draw against Bayren, it would've been so good for them."
I nod.
"You ready for exams, lil bro?"
"Lil? The disrespect is crazy." I laugh, only somewhat offended by Sai's words.
"Like I told you, man, let me train you, you can get swole like me."
I shake my head, "You act like I'm some slob."
Sai looks me up and down, exaggerating the judgmental look on his face, before he can say anything.
"I don't need to compensate after all."
He meets my eyes and then rolls his own, "Alright asshole, I don't believe the rumours about you."
He brings up another mouthful of the parma, "But, I'm not too interested about talking about our junk."
I shrug and sip again, "Ya couldn't compare anyway."
He shakes his head.

Sai looks up a few minutes later, he juts his fork towards me and grabs his phone, "So Vi kinda going crazy huh?"
My chest tightens.
"What do you mean?"
"On Insta dude!" He says as he opens his phone.
"Not too push any boundaries, but everyone knows Vi is hot." He turns the screen towards me. "She's becoming a real e-girl the last few weeks, aye?"
My heart thumps loudly in my chest. Of course, I had seen this earlier. Another proactive photo. Another dripping hot thirst trap. She holds her phone at a high angle, the camera pointed downwards, a delicious view of her cleavage, held snugly in her deep blue sports bra. Her sweaty midriff disappearing underneath her matching blue leggings. It's not sexual at all, but it's hot as fuck, and I wasn't the only one that thought so.

'My clients can always expect immediate results!' - BrandonPT_
'Holy fuck.' - Anon.
'Damn, Vi!' - Sai_-_
'I would pay anything to see more!' - Anon.

I gulp before replying, "It's great, right? She's been feeling herself since she started her PT."
He takes another bite, and regards me again, "I don't know about you, but after Ari comes home from a night out, we have a _really _intense week, if you know what I mean?" He winks again and takes another bite.
My fingers go cold.
He continues, "Yeah, she's like an animal. She told me about your guys' night out. She had her 'fun'." He takes a sip of his water. "And she's been an animal ever since. Bro, I mean every night, it's fucking amazing. I won't go into details, but dude." He puts the fork down as he finishes his parma, "She's a beast."

Every night? A beast? It sounds like she initiates it. He makes it sound like she wants it, she desires him, she craves him, and practically drags him into bed. Why isn't Vi dragging me? Does Ari hold herself back for her boyfriend? Is Vi getting dicked down right now? Will she come home again, exhausted and passing out? Have I lost even more control? Have I become more of a submissive man than even Sai?

"It's unfair how shredded her trainer is. You met him?"
I shake my head, I haven't, but I've checked his Instagram, I've imagined Vi below him, his hand around her throat.
"Not to be cocky, but I'm pretty strong, Brandon is insane. I wonder if I could convince Ari to join the gym."
"Anyway, Vi." I look up, and he gives me an enthusiastic thumbs up.
"Looking great, I DM'd her to compliment her, and to hopefully convince you to let me train you."
There's something different about him, a dark confidence in his eye, weird.
I nod.
"We'll see, man." I brush it off with a laugh.

"Are you ready for exams? My first one is in three weeks."
I shake my head and lean back in the cafe chair, "Not at all."
I shoot up, Sai gives me a concerned look, "You good?"
I grab my bag and stand up, "I forgot about my fucking tutoring."
"With Mrs. Revers?"
I nod as I push the chair under the table.
"Well. Have fun, mate, check her out for me."
I turn and practically run out of the cafe.
