Chapter 19: Changing classes

"You're really stubborn, aren't you?" Stella gave Amy an unhappy side glance while the latter happily clipped on her seatbelt. Saturday had already arrived and Amy was not going to spend the day indoors. She needed to distract herself from her worries and what better way to do that than with exercise. Even though it was the last thing she would do if her situation was different from what it currently was.

"You worry too much Stella. Thank you for letting me tag along."

Stella shook her head as she pulled out of the driveway. "Even so, I made arrangements to accommodate your current situation."

"What do you mean?"

After Amy practically blackmailed her with her cuteness, she called the gym and arranged for her to take Pedro's Pilates class. Amy had no clue as she was in her room excitedly changing into her exercise outfit. Her mouth fell open but before she could protest, Stella continued. "You're not fit to do cardio exercises. I promise you, pilates will do just fine for you. Don't argue with me on this, Emily."

The stern voice and expression on Stella could only make her nod. "Okay."

Stella was so happy to hear that. She didn't want to jeopardize Amy's healthy. The latter couldn't help but feel warm at the older woman's nagging. When they arrived at the gym, the place was busting with music while the hunks worked on their muscles. Stella took Amy to the first floor.

As they approached the room, the door swung open and out came the man Amy recognized to be Enzo who immediately smiled at the two and the other whom she didn't recognize. He seemed to also be Spanish, he had long brown hair tied in a ponytail. While Enzo was more on the beautiful side, this guy looked more ruggish and was more muscular compared to the lean Enzo.

"Enzo! Pedro! It's good to see you both!" Stella greeted them with a smile.

"How are you two beautiful ladies?" Enzo asked.

"Is she the one you told me about?" Pedro asked almost at the same time.

"Oh! Pequeño! Are you not joining me today?" Enzo pouted almost adorably.

Almost, because Amy found it unsettling for a grown man to do that. She only smiled to hide her true thoughts. She did not see how both men were stunned by her smile when she was distracted by Stella's runting. She felt like a child being walked to a new class by their parent. She had always been envious as a child when she saw other kids with their parents. But now Stella was letting her experience it, as an adult. She could only hang her head low from embarrassment as the older woman expressed her reasons for having her switch classes.

The men were understanding and the two women separated after agreeing to meet afterwards. There were not as many women so everyone has their own space. Pedro assigned her a spot and a pilates mat. Just like Enzo, he gave a little welcome speech before he led them into their first lesson.

Amy felt that this was for her. It was calming and because of her flexibility, she did not have much of a hard time. It was only once or twice that Pedro corrected her form and it was not uncomfortable. Even Pedro himself was impressed with this newcomer. Yeah, she was not going back to the cardio party. Stella was really farsighted.
