*Zac*
I hear music when I reach the barn like building were we have our gym.. and as Marshall, Sherry and LZ was up by the house and our 2 loved up couples have gone for a walk with the dogs it can only be Pilar.

So I slowly walk closer and peak in.. I mean it's clear to see that she is in great shape and probably work out a lot.. and I can't help being a bit curious... even thought it kinda makes me feel like a stalker.

There are latin rhythms playing and I am surprised to see her dancing along to the music.. she is wearing a rather tight one piece black training suit with pink criss cross ribbons on her back.. to be honest she looks rather amazing in it.

But what surprises me is the passion and warmth in her movements.. she looks relaxed and happy, swaying and rotating her hips to the music.. and well she got moves.. great moves.

I know I should not just stand here and stare.. but she is so.. Well damn sexy to be honest.. and I can't really tear my eyes of her.

She turns slowly, rotating her body to the music.. it is rather hypnoticing. The she grins. "Are you gonna come in Zac or just stand there being.. kinda creepy ?"

"Uhh.. hi". I step inside, knowing I look kinda sheepish. "I didn't.. I just didn't want to interrupt you".

"Sure...". She roll her eyes.. but I can't really say anything cause I was kinda staring at her.

I tap my foot to the music. "Nice jam though.. do you dance often in the gym ?"

"I use it to warm up the muscles.. makes them flexible.. and I like dancing". She picks up a water bottle and takes a big sip.

"Seems smart". I nod.. and I feel I kinda have to say something. "Uhm Pilar.. I am sorry about the.. Being creepy.. I honestly didn't mean to but.. Well it surprised me to see you dancing.. and you have some great moves".

She turn to look at me again. "Thanks.. and thanks for being honest".

"I prefer being honest.. and I know honestly means a lot to you". I tell her as she walks over to the weights. "Thanks for staying by the way.. and for talking to Nick".

"Well he made a good case for himself". She looks slightly annoyed. "He might actually be a.. good guy".

I pull of my shirt and stretch. "Well he is a good guy.. I know it's a bot hard to.. accept.. but he is.. and he cares a lot about Nina".

"Are you gonna work out like that.. shirtless I mean ?" She is staring at me and I try not to smile.

"Yeah.. I mostly do when it's warm". I nod towards her. "Are you gonna work out.. like that ? In that tight thing ?"

She looks down herself. "Yeah why ? I always do.. it's more..". She stops and glare at me. "Touche".

"I think that was a draw... wouldn't you say so". I just give her a cheeky smile and she shakes her head.. but she is smiling.

*Pilar*
"Come on darling, you can lift it.. just three more". Zac is urging me on as I struggle to finish up my set of bench press.. I might have put on a little more weight than usual.. not wanting to seem weak.. yeah I know it's kinda silly.

My muscles are slightly cramping, but with a strained moan I manage the last lift, and Zac grabs the weigh, helping me get it into the holder. "Thanks".

"See you did it.. and you even made it sound sexy". He grin at me.

"You very quickly forgot the walking on eggshells around me didn't you ?" I get up and grab my water taking a big swing from it.

He shrugs. "It's hard for me not to be .. me.. and sweetie, I know you can take it.. you know I am just being all like cute and funny".

"You did mean to say annoying and insufferable right ?" I watch him pick up some seriously big weighs, putting them on. "What are you doing ?"

"Putting on some real weight darling.. you know for real men to lift". He wink at me.

I look towards the door. "Oh I had no idea Nick was coming too".

"Ha ha ha.. sassy much". He is grinning at me, and for some reason that makes my heart kinda do a double take. Stop yourself Pilar, he might be an okay guy, and it is nice to be able to joke with him.. but that is as far as this goes.

I spot him while he press up the heavy weight.. okay so he has a nice body.. I got to give him that.. okay okay.. more than nice.. happy now ? "You know being strong is not all about how much you can lift".

He pushes the weight up into the holder with a sinful groan. "Well no.. but it's a big part of it.. isn't it ?"

"Hmm maybe.. but women can be just as strong as men.. just in other way you know". I am not sure why I feel like.. fighting him. "I bet you I can find an.. exercise where I am stronger than you".

"If you are gonna pull some Titanic ballet shit on me and stand on your tippy toes I am giving up right now". He get up and take his water bottle, first taking a sip, then pouring some over his face, and I watch as it run down over his chest.

Dammit, he is doing it on purpose.. I am quite sure of it. "Nope, no girlie stuff.. a real exercise".

"Okay then.. I am in.. what is it ?" He looks curiously at me.

I go get two big yoga balls in the corner, rolling them over.. pushing one over to him. "One armed, one legged plank on this".

"Are you freaking insane ?" He looks at me and I smile, making him nod. "Yeah, you clearly are.. can I like just stand on my tippy toes instead ?"

"Come on Zac.. don't be such a pussy.. It's just about tightening that core". I slap him on the diaphragm making him gasp. I can't help noticing how his muscles feel under my hand for that short moment I touch him.. for a hot moment some very dirty thoughts that are very uncommon for me, flashes through my head, making me pull my hand away like I was burned.

He gives me a kinda weird look, then kneel down in front of the ball. "Okay then.. how do we do this ?"

"Same time, who can keep it longer... change arm when I say so ?" I kneel down too. "Ready ?"

"As ready as I ever get". He mumbles, looking at the ball like he is kinda scared of it.

I take a deep breath.. I am not expecting this to be easy in any way. "Okay.. go".

Instantly I feel how my muscles are slightly shaking, but I hold it.. I need to win this, everything else would be humiliating. But Zac is.. not making it easy for me to focus, with the breathy groans he lets out and the way his bulging muscles are contracting.

"Change". I mange to press out and I watch Zac wobble slightly as he changes arm and leg.. I do the same.

"Fuuck.. wow". He groans.. there is sweat on his brow and even his chest muscles are quivering by now.. no focus Pilar, you are not that weak as to let a hot sweaty man distract you.

I close my eyes for a moment, to focus.. the I take a big breath. "Change".

I make the change, but only has time to stabilise myself before Zac makes a yelping sound as he tumbles.. but somehow he manage to knock my ball away sending me tumbling too.

To my luck.. I guess.. I land on top of him, hearing him groan in pain.
