Dakota’s POV
I am not feeling so great at all. I have the sniffles and my body feels like it’s been hit by a truck. Unfortunately I have work today, so I can’t just stay in bed all day long like I want to. I don’t even bother putting on my makeup, and just put on sweatpants and a baggy work shirt instead of my usual running shorts and fitted shirt. I just don’t have the effort or will power to get dressed up today. I also just threw my hair up into a messy bun rather than curling it.
Much to my appreciation Tucker noticed that I wasn’t feeling too great and tried to stay out of my hair. I wasn’t as lucky when Hunter came out of his office though.
“What happened to you brat?” Hunter questioned me with a raised brow.
“Nothing. I’m just not feeling a hundred percent this morning” I tried to downplay how I was actually feeling.
“Yeah well just don’t go around getting everyone sick” I rolled my eyes at him before he walked away and got started on his daily workout routine. I could never get enough of watching Hunter working up a sweat, and the way that his muscles rippled. My favorite part of the workout was when he got so sweaty that he would pull his shirt up and reveal his glorious abs as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. I bet I was drooling right now.
The sound of Tucker fake coughing brought me out of my Hunter watching stupor. I turned to meet a knowing smirk and my face flushed red with embarrassment. I mean can he blame me? The old man is hot, and he’s not that old. His age doesn’t really bother me, and he hasn’t killed me yet so I think that I have a chance.
A couple of hours passed, and I started feeling worse and worse as the minutes went by. I must have gone through a whole box of kleenex, and I am so cold. I was too busy blowing my nose to notice when Hunter walked up to the front desk. I jumped when I looked up after throwing the used tissue away.
“You look like shit” There’s the Hunter we all know and love.
“Gee thanks. You really know how to treat a boy” I narrowed my eyes at him, but I couldn’t really argue with the truth.
“You can’t work like this, so I don’t know why you even showed up today. Come with me” I really hoped that I’m not getting in trouble. I followed him into his office and he pointed at his big recliner, “Go lay down. I’ll cover for you today. Next time just call in sick”
I wanted to argue and say that I was fine and coud work, but the look on his face told me not to say anything. I walked over to his recliner, and culled up into a little ball. His recliner was so big and comfy that before I knew it I was dead asleep.
When I woke up I was surprised to see that the chair was pushed back into the reclined position and a thick blanket was laid on top of me and tucked in. It felt so nice to not be freezing like I was before, but sadly my body was still in a lot of pain and my forehead felt pretty hot. Maybe I could ask Hunter if he had any tylenol, or any other kind of medicine that would help quell my fever.
I rubbed my eyes before sitting up slowly. I looked around, and saw that Hunter wasn’t here, but I noticed a note on the table attached to a paper bag. I picked up the note which read, “Hey brat. I got tired of you scaring away my customers. Here’s some soup. You better eat it all or else I’ll shove it down your throat myself”
A big grin formed on my face after I finished reading the note. Hunter really is just a big teddy bear no matter how much he likes to pretend that he’s mean. I opened the bag and pulled out a big thermos and a spoon. I struggled to open it due to how tightly closed it was, but when I finally got it open I was happy to see that it was still warm. I settled back into the recliner and got comfortable before eating the first spoonful of the soup. It was actually really tasty, it was a chicken noodle soup and it felt so good as it ran down my throat and warmed my whole body up.
I was just finishing up the soup when Hunter walked back into the office, “Oh you’re up. Here take this”
“Thank you so much Hunter! Who knew that such a grumpy old man cared so much about little old me?” I quickly swallowed the tylenol pills and chased it down with some water.
“Whatever, brat. Don’t get used to it” He totally cares. I think he’s finally warming up to me. I guess all of my pestering is starting to work.
I felt a lot better, so I finished up the rest of the day much to Hunter’s opposition. Before I left, I walked into his office. He looked up at me, “What now, brat?”
I just ran up to him and gave him a big hug, “Bye! Thanks for the soup! I’ll see you on Monday, old man”
He looked surprised, and he might have even had a blush on his face. I just giggled before booking it so that he couldn’t kill me. He totally likes me. I mean what’s not to like?

When I came into work on Monday I was feeling much better, and super well rested. I couldn’t wait to see Hunter, and all of my other friends. Tucker really needed to finish telling me about that crazy girl that one of his friends tried to set him up with.
Sometimes the mornings can be a little boring, but today was surprisingly busy. I’m guessing that there were a lot of the people who decided to “start again on Monday” with their workout routine. Not that I could judge them, I barely even exercise anymore. Maybe I could ask Hunter if he would let me teach kids how to cheer one day.
I was busy doing my usual morning routine of watching Hunter workout when this large man walked in who I have never seen before. He came right up to the desk, so turned my attention to him thinking that he wanted to work out or become a new member, “Hi, welcome to Ford’s fitness. What can I help you with?”
“Well hello there sweetcheeks. How bout I help you by taking you on a date?” Okay so this guy is a douche.
“Sorry sir, but I’m at work right now. Do you have a membership?” I really wanted to tell him off, but I decided to be nice and just forget what he said.
“C’mon I’m sure they wouldn’t mind.” I was starting to get a little scared as he started walking into the employee side of the front desk. Tucker was working the floor right now so he wasn’t here.
“Sir, you’re not allowed back here. If you are not going to work out, I’m going to need to ask you to leave” He kept walking towards me, so I tried to back up but I hit the wall.
I gasped as he grabbed my butt, “Oh don’t try and pretend like you don’t like this. I know that little sluts like you want a taste of this. I bet you're a virgin so your pussy will be really tight when I shove my cock into it” I tried to pry his hands off of me, but he was so strong.
“Hey! Get your fucking hands off of him! Who the fuck do you think you are?” I was so relieved when Hunter ripped the man off of me. My eyes were filled with tears, and Hunter looked pissed, “Why the hell are you in my gym Ron?”
Wait a minute. Hunter knows this creep?!
“Oh hey Hunter, I didn’t know you would be here. Although I guess I should have because you need all the help you can get if you think that you can beat me in the next competition. You think you’re all that, but in reality you’re just a decrepit old man trying to relive his glory days.” Ron spat out at Hunter whose fists were clenched. What is wrong with this Ron guy?
“Just shut the fuck up Ron and get out of my gym! I couldn’t care less what you think, and I may be old but at least I’m not a pervert and a creep. Now you better leave before I beat the shit out of you, and call the cops so they can pick up your body!” I would love to see Hunter rip this guy up.
“Yeah Yeah yeah. I’m out of here for now, but this won’t be the last you see of me. Bye sweetcheeks” I shivered when he waved at me before finally leaving.
“Come here brat” I walked over to Hunter slowly, still super shaken up. He led me to his office and sat me down on the recliner, “I’m so fucking sorry that you had to go through that Dakota. Can you tell me what exactly happened or what he said to you?”
“He came to the front desk, and I asked him if I could help him. He then asked me out, and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I told him to leave if he wasn’t going to use the gym, and that’s when he came onto me. He kept groping me, and saying stuff about me being a virgin and all the stuff that he would do to me. I’m pretty sure he thought I was a woman, because he said he would put his thing into my pussy” I kept stumbling as I recounted the story. I was so embarrassed that I let him do that to me, and that I wasn’t strong enough to get him off. What would have happened if Hunter didn’t show up.
“What a dick! Ron is always trying to get to me, but he has gone way too far. Do you want to report him to the police?” I couldn’t help it. When he mentioned the police the reality set in. I never thought that I would ever have to go through that. I mean sure I’ve been beaten up before, but never sexually assaulted. I just burst into tears.
“What’s wrong brat?” I just stood up. I really needed comfort, so I wrapped my arms around him, and I was so happy when he didn’t make a snarky remark and just pulled me tighter to him. He sat down in the recliner, and pulled me on top of him while I cried into his chest.
“I’m just so embarrassed. I should have been more careful or called for help” I whimpered, and he tightened his hold on me even more. He was so big and comfy.
“What’s there to be embarrassed about? You couldn’t have known that some douchebag was going to come in here and attack you. If anything it’s my fault. This place should be safe for everyone” I rubbed my face into his chest, while he rubbed my back, “Do you want to go home? I don’t expect you to work the rest of the day or even the rest of the week.”
“No, I like working here. I’m not going to let one jerk scare me off or ruin it for me. I’m a little spooked, but I just need a little bit to get my bearings and I’ll be back. For now, can we just stay like this? You’re comfy considering all the muscles” He agreed after arguing with me about taking off of work for a while. I smiled when I noticed that he fell asleep. I could exchange my bed for this chair, and I would probably get a better night’s rest.
I giggled when Jen walked into the room, and her eyes widened when she saw us. I brought my finger up to my lips to tell her not to make too much noise. She just nodded, brought out her phone, took a picture, turned around, and walked out. That will probably be used to blackmail Hunter at one point, so I’ll make sure not to mention it to him.
This old man better take some hints soon. I don’t want to be the one to ask him out cause he’ll probably say no. And he can’t lie to me anymore like he doesn’t care.
