Gonna Make You Sweat
Ch 1
Michelle put her gym bag down in the hallway of her Winnipeg apartment. It looked so bare. Just 6 months ago she had finished her personal trainer's certification and was moving in to the place. Now the walls were bare again and boxes packed up. Packed to be moved this time, not unpacked and organized. A voice came from down the empty hallway.
"Ma belle?" The male voice called "est-ce que tu?"
She loved when he spoke French to her. Jonathan's parents mainly spoke French to him at home so she was slowly but surely learning it for him.
"Oui, c'est moi" she said with a smile and a deep sweet kiss for her boyfriend. "So are you ready?" She asked him with an excited look on her face.
"Yeah, how was your last class?" He asked her grabbing the suitcases that thy would be taking with them on their flight to Chicago. She was moving with him for the season having just received her visa so that she could teach her favourite TurboKick at a local gym.
"it's hard to say goodbye, I'm going to miss everyone." She said re doing her blonde highlighted ponytail. He stroked her long hair and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Babe, you'll love Chicago." He said to her smiling. "And if you don't too bad because I'm not going all season missing that ass." He said smiling giving her a pat on the backside. "Plus," he added "the guys are really excited to meet you." He added. "You'll score some points with Sharpie being from Thunder Bay." He added mentioning the home town that she lived in until she was 19 and left for the big city of Winnipeg. "Come on, our flight is only..." He checked his watch dramatically "three hours away." He smiled. At 5'1" she seemed so tiny next to his 6'2" frame.
"You got it Captain Serious" she said grinning him using the nickname that he hated so much. "Goodbye Winnipeg" she said with a sad look in her eyes.

it had been a week since Michelle had settled In to Johnny's condo in Chicago. In many ways it reminded her of Winnipeg, the waterfront, the buildings, just bigger. Grabbing her bauer gym bag she stuffed her black lululemon capris, pink Nike frees and pink sports bra into her bag with a few bottles of water. Jonathan had said that he'd meet her at the gym after her class. Bruno's was a gym that a lot of guys would go to if they wanted a change from working out at the Hawks team gym. Today was her first Turbo kick class that she was teaching. She was nervous but excited at the same time.
She had managed to find her way to the club on the subway. She walked up to the perky looking red headed receptionist "Hi welcome to Bruno's, is this your first time here?" She asked.
"Umm yeah" she said "I'm Michelle Manor. I'm teaching kick in about 15 minutes?" She said looking at her watch.
"So good to meet you!" She said with a smile her red curls bouncing as she spoke "I'm Delia, the fitness coordinator slash daytime recepitionist." She said holding out her hand
"studio 4 is the third door on your right. Did you bring your own mic?" She asked.
"yep, all set" she said. "Thanks! Wish me luck". She headed to her studio to get set up. On her way out of the corner of her eye she saw her boyfriend doing some free weights with his teammate Patrick Kane. She gave him a little wave as she walked by.
"Who is that hottie?" Pat said to his teammate.
Jonathan decided to have a little fun with Kaner. Mess with his pickup abilities a little. "Looks like she is headed in to the turbo class. Wanna go?"
"Hell yea!" Kaner said racking his weights "Bet you a steak dinner she's screaming my name by the end of the night." He said to his friend.
"You're on dude." He said trying to hide a subtle smile. The two walked in to the back of the class of mostly women. Michelle was in the corner loosening up her muscles before class. She bent over to do a forward bend for her back when Pat stopped in his tracks
"That ass" he said to Jonathan "God Bless the inventor of yoga pants." She said with a grin. Jonathan just shook his head at his friend. "Man is she fit" he said
'you have no idea' thought his friend.
jumping on the stage starting the music Michelle got class started. "Everybody on your feet. Looks like we have a couple of celebrities today folks" she said with a smile. " Patty Kane and Johnathan Towes your Stanley cup champs!" She said as the class whooped and cheered for them. She didn't say Jonathan was her boyfriend as they were not completely public yet. "I hope you boys like Britney Spears" she said jumping side to side " She'll be heavily in my playlist today. Let's get it going with some shoulder rolls eight count into cross punches" she said
"ok so her taste in music sucks, but at least she knows hockey" Pat said grinning.
heather went through the class with a bundle of endless energy keeping her class motivated and having fun with her. She couldn't believe that it was over when she was finishing the last stretch. "And one last forward bend...hold it...and up. Thanks for a great class everybody give yourself a hand" she said ending the class.
"here goes nothing" said Kaner "watch my moves" he added strutting up to her. "Hello beautiful" he said to her as she turned around water bottle in hand "so do you do any private classes?" He asked her "I'm a high performance athlete who wouldn't mind some one on one time alone". Some one on one if you know what I mean." He wiggled his eyebrows with a seductive smile.
Jonathan stood behind Kaner winking at her as he caught her eye.
"Oh I'd love to there's just one problem" she said sticking out her lower lip pouting "Your teammate beat you to it" she said looking at Jonathan with a smile. She sauntered up to him and laid a sloppy, wet French kiss on Jonathan that was so hot it should've been x rated. "Care to join me for a shower Captajn Serious?" She asked dragging a finger down his chest.
"you know it babe" he said to her "Kaner looks like it's a cold one for you today" he said holding Michelle in his arms laughing at Patrick's confused face.
"what the fuck?" was all Pat could say. "How did you?!" He couldn't even finish his sentence.
"This is Michelle, my girlfriend from Winnipeg" Jonathan said laughing.
"Oh man, couldn't you have saved me the embarrassment?" Kane said blushing.
"and miss you get shot down? Never!" Toews said.
"But I'd be glad to give you those personal training seasons, $75 an hour" Michelle said with a smile. "Oh and Patrick, my next class is at 8 tomorrow" she said with a smile.
"you bastard" kane said half angry half laughing.
"Ma belle?" The male voice called "est-ce que tu?"
She loved when he spoke French to her. Jonathan's parents mainly spoke French to him at home so she was slowly but surely learning it for him.
