Michelle had been up early to go for a jog in Millennium Park. 6 am jog, home then at the gym for a 9am class. She was teaching two back to back today. Tonight was also the first Hawks preseason game. Returning from her jog, she saw that Jonathan hadn't gotten up yet. The two hadn't been together during the season. It would be a true test of their relationship to be sure. Seizing the opportunity Michelle tiptoed into the bedroom and jumped on the bed right beside a sleeping Jonathan.

"Wakey Wakey lazy bones" she said to him shaking him.

"the fuck Michelle?" He said to her grabbing a pillow throwing it at her. "You know I sleep in until 10 on game days"

"actually I don't" she said with a scowl on her face. "This is all new to me remember?" She said hoping for a bit of mercy from him.

"Free pass this time." He said to her easing his sour disposition. "But since I'm up," he said laying on his back "hoe about a good morning blow job?" He said giving the Tazer smile that he had been so famous for.

"Smooth babe" she said rolling her eyes. "But I have to shower then head to the gym." She said. "I'll make you a deal. You win, I'll blow you after the game. Winning goal gets two." She said holding up two fingers. He kissed both of them softly

"Deal" he said pulling her closer for one more kiss. "Now get out. Need sleep" he said with a smile on his face. She rose to her feet shaking her head at him. Such a big kid sometimes.

Heather enjoyed the luxury of Jon's rain shower over her aching muscles. She pushed it a little far on her run this morning going harder than normal. Dating a professional athlete did that to her. She tried her best to keep up with Jon as best as she could everyday challenging herself to push it to the limit just a little more. He loved her for that, that she could for the most part keep up with him on a 20k run, or that she could spot him on weights. All of that and still look good in a little black dress.

Michelle got to the gym about a half hour before her class started.

"hey Chelle" Delia said from the front desk "how goes it?"

"two classes today." She said putting her gym bag down and swiping her ID card in. "What happened to Tina?" She referenced the new receptionist that they had hired.

"quit" Delia said with a scrunched up face "so I'm back to going part time receptionist too" she said.

"Sucky. I was hoping that you'd join my class this morning." Heather said with a frown.

"Me too." Said Delia a little dejected. "But guess who is in your class!" Her eyes getting wider and excited for her new friend.

"Who?" Said Michelle opening her water bottle.

"Lana Simmons from Good Day Chicago! I hear she is looking for somebody to do a regular segment on Good day Chicago!"

"really? Where's you hear that?" Asked Michelle.

"She asked me for suggestions from Bruno's. And since you're dating the captain of the Hawks who better?" She said. "Two for one deal!" She added

"I could kiss you if I swung that way!" Said Michelle. "You, me, lunch this week!" She said pointing to her as she walked into her studio. Now not to freak out she thought. She was going to need as much energy as she could spare for this class. Maybe she'd join Jon in his pre game nap.

"good morning everybody! Who's ready for turbo?" She asked with a big smile getting her class started. She went through the class with as much energy and enthusiasm as she could muster. By the end of it she was pleased with her performance, and happy that she had put some makeup on this morning. Grabbing a bottle of water she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Michelle? I'm Lana Simmons" said the tall brunette. She must've been at least 5'10 to Michelle's diminutive 5'1". "I'm looking for raw new talent for a new segment on Good Day Chicago and I think you're our girl." She said with a newscaster smile. "What we'd like to do is come and film a class maybe next week and have you on the show the next day for a 7 minute but. It'll be reoccurring so we can do up a contract with figures. We'll send it to Bruno's for tomorrow if you're in"

"I'm so in" said Michelle smiling.

"Great!" Said Lana. "One more thing, do you think Your boyfriend would be in for an appearance or two?" She asked hopeful.

"I'll talk to Jonathan about it but I think I can persuade him" she said with a smile. "I hate to rush but I have another class. Stay if you like!" She added.

"One's enough for me." Said Lana holding up her hands in surrender. "Great meeting you, I have a feeling this will be great" she added.

"Me too. See you soon" said Michelle who as soon as she was alone in the studio did a happy dance.

It was 1:30 by the time Michelle had got home. She had ended up taking a couple of first time personal training clients. It was more cash in her pocket after all. Kicking off her shoes and throwing down her gym bag she saw Jon sitting on the couch watching the golf channel.

"Babe I have amazing news!" She said to him

"You met Hugh Hefner and he wants you to pose for Playboy?" He guessed with a finger on his chin.

"No." Said Michelle laughing laying on the couch with her head in Jon's lap.

"Good, because I don't know if I could deal with Kaner fapping off on a roadie in the bathroom or worse beside me in his bed to naked pictures of my girlfriend" he said with a scrunched up face.

"Eww" she said making the same face. "No, I'm going to be on TV! Lana Simmons from GDC was in my class today. She wants me to so a health and fitness segment occasionally on the show for money and everything " she said sitting up seeing a smile spread on his face.

"amazing babe" he said kissing her "I'm so proud of you!"

"one thing though, they'd like to use you too." She said looking down at her lap a bit worried.

"i'll do it for you" he said grabbing her chin with his hand "et toi seulement." He gave her a deep long kiss "very proud of you babe, but it is nap time" he said looking at his watch. "I'd ask you to join but I don't think we'd do much napping " he added with a grin.

"Plus your reward comes later" she said smiling.

"twice. Just you wait" he said pointing at her with a smile on his face as he headed to their bedroom.
