Modern AU with the WHB Kings

In a world wherein the Kings weren't devils, and that you weren't the great granddaughter/grandson of Solomon, how would they meet you?

Warnings: harassing man on Beelzebub's, unhinged woman and knife on Leviathan's part, cursing/profanity. Gender-neutral pronouns were used. Reader is of legal age and working. Yes, I'm sorry if I have favoritism on Beel's.

a/n: I don't usually post WHB in a scheduled manner so I'm really sorry to those who wait for me. Requests are open tho! But I would like to warn that I can't post early T.T

Satan

🩸He was a gym owner and coach near your area. He always wears a white jumpsuit that compliments his eyes.

🩸You noticed that you were gaining a bit of weight and wanted to try out the gym near your area.

🩸When you entered and paid the fee, the gym was empty the time you came. The gym was well maintained, there were also lockers and shower area.

🩸You were looking around the gym equipment, and you decided to try one but... You didn't know how to, but you tried to use it still. "You're not supposed to use it that way, you're supposed to hold the cord then pull" A long haired guy (did i mention fluffy hair) with a white tracksuit said. "I- uh... Sorry thanks" you sheepishly said "I'd rather appreciate it if you ask for help rather than destroying my equipment" he chuckled. "By the way, the name is Satan, and you are?" Satan extended a hand for a handshake. "Y/n" you shaked hands with Satan. "Sorry about that... I'm new to these things... Is it alright if you teach me with these equipment?" You shyly asked. "No" he said with a grin. "W-wha?! But you sai-" "Hah, I'm kidding, alright where do you wanna start? I'm also a coach btw. I train and have sessions every other day. Wanna sign up?" "Not yet, I just wanna familiarize myself first with the equipment and the atmosphere." "Alright, just don't go breaking my shit alright" "I-i said I'm sorry!" you playfully smacked him. "I'm kidding! I'm kidding!"

🩸You realized how good Satan was in becoming the owner and coach. He had several rules over the gym.

🩸He often got pissed whenever people were flirting in the gym epecially to you. You sometimes hear his teeth gnash.

🩸People love him, even children and elderly! Who knew his gym would be filled with various people.

Mammon

🪙You were a fresh graduate applying to one of the biggest companies specializing in technology; Tartaros.

🪙You were in the Lobby of Tartaros, and asked the receptionist where the Human Resource Department was for your interview.

🪙When the receptionist told you the directions, you hurried towards the elevator and somehow bumped into something...no... Someone.

🪙You bumped into a tall buff guy with black hair and gold eyes. His eyes were really mesmerizing enough for you to stare instead of apologizing.

🪙When you realized you were staring, you bowed your head and apologized. "It's alright, I apologize also" he said and you somehow hear the warmth through his deep voice.

🪙You noticed that he dropped his wallet, and you wanted to return it so you followed him.

🪙He went to the elevator, you went to another elevator. He walked towards one of the hallways, you also walked. You were trying to get his attention by saying "Sir!" but your voice wasn't loud enough for him to hear you.

🪙He stopped in front of an office and went in. You saw him go in another room inside the office room. You were trying to catch his attention and ran to him but one of his attendants with a stingy face stopped you. "What business do you have with Mr. Mammon?" The guy with the stingy face said. "Wha- who? I was just going to return his wallet since it fell!" You explained "Yeah that's right, I heard that excuse many times. Off you go, you just want a promotion do you?" He shooed you off but his co-worker stopped him. "Sorry to break it to you, Bimet, but I don't think they're an employee" the guy with a gold hair with eye patch said. "Sorry about that, you said you wanted to return Mr. Mammon's wallet?" The guy faced you and asked you. "I don't know his name but... The guy with black hair and a bit buff and yeah i think he went there!" you pointed at the room Mammon went. The guy with gold hair chuckled, "I'll accompany you to Mr. Mammon's office." The guy knocked on the office and said "Mr. Mammon, someone is here to talk to you", you looked at him and he whispered "it's better if you return it to him personally, he's a nice guy don't worry". The other person replied "Ah Valefor, please do let them in".

🪙The guy, Valefor, opened the door for you and you went inside. It was only you and Mammon. "Oh you..." "Um... You dropped your wallet when I bumped into you. I was trying to gain your attention but you didn't hear me many times. I'm just going to return it." You said "Oh, thanks. You can have what's inside." Mammon said. "What?" You exclaimed "You can have what's inside" "No, I cannot. I don't want to" "But you were nice enough to return it." "Yes, but I can't accept it." "Really? You don't want it?" "I'd rather earn the money by hard work. Thank you for being nice though. But I cannot accept this" you returned the wallet and bowed to him. "May I have your name, at least and the department?" "Y/n, oh and I don't work here. Oh drat! I forgot my interview!! This was nice and all but I have to go, thank you Mr.?" "Mammon, call me Mammon." "Thank you Mr. Mammon!" You returned the wallet.

🪙When Mammon checked the contents of the wallet, he did see that there were no finger prints inside and the money and cards were intact. He was really sure to reward you. He made a call to the HR department, telling them to hire you. "Hi! Sorry I'm late for the interv-" "Are you y/n?" "Y-yes I am" "You're hired." "What. Wait what about the interview?" "You should thank Mr. Mammon" "Uhm. I hate to ask but... Who is exactly Mr. Mammon?" "Oh he's the CEO of Tartaros" "HUH?"

🪙You thanked Mammon again and now you're working for him. His company was really nice and non-toxic (well except for the Money grabbing attendant of Mr. Mammon).

🪙You were seeing him every now and then and you'd wish to experience more dealings with him in the future.

Beelzebub

🕶️You were referred as a bartender in a club by your friend Naberius. You were working there for about a month now and met wonderful co-workers and even customers.

🕶️You met the Chief and Acting Owner Bael who taught you with the drinks, rules, and policies. Amon, one of the chill security. Surprisingly, your friend Naberius was the chief security and receptionist of the VIP area. Lastly, Stolas, one of the security who was easily mad but is cute.

🕶️In the Avisos Club, there were two areas. First is the common area, where folks drink alcohol, mingle with people, dance a little and even flirt. Then there was also a VIP area that also works as a 5 star S&M hotel. Getting in the VIP area was really hard, but VIPs will have their own room and they can do anything in that room (using their money ofc). Most guests use it as an intimate or S&M area (yes toys are also for sale there). Some also use it as a high stake gambling area.

🕶️You mostly work at the common area to avoid weird requests, but you also share a fair share of chaotic situations in the common area.

🕶️Oh boy, today is not going to be your day. One guy kept flirting with you while making his bloody mary, how you wished to make his head a bloody mary. "*Whistles* Oh baby you look hot today, why don't I take you out today and drink some of yours; I take both males and females if that's your concern" "Nope sorry. Just drink this bloody mary instead." You were trying to keep it together. "Awww but I wanna have fun with you." he insisted "Rule Number 6 in Avisos Club, when a person says no, it means No." You replied while cleaning your work area. "Rules are made to be broken~ Come on, just a drink with me please~" He somehow grabbed your shoulder, and you were on the other side of the bar. "Sir, I respectfully ask you to remove your hand and leave me alone, or I will call security" "Yeah as if security will stop me, come on just one drink with me" "Three" "Two" "That won't work on me, you cant threaten me bab-" He noticed someone grabbed his shoulder "Hmm if I remember correctly, customers aren't allowed to harass, let alone to a bartender, no?" A guy with light blonde hair with yellow and green eyes said, he looked pretty but his smile looked so deadly. "Fuck off, can't you see I'm flirting with this guy/girl. And you're not my ty-" the guy grabbed him by the collar and removed him from you and made him sit on his seat. "What the, what's the big dea-"

🕶️The timing made you press the red button under the bar, signaling the security. Security will come in a few minutes.

🕶️The guy put a hand over the mouth of the person harassing you and looked at you instead "Oh! You're quite new here aren't you? My my, now I understand why this jackass was forcing you, you look handsome/beautiful!" the guy with the light blonde hair said. "Thank you I guess? Oh and you're correct, I just started this job a month ago" "Oho, Bael did a good job hiring you, I heard you also make good drinks and food, by the way the name is Beelzebub" "I'm y/n, thank you for helping me btw, and ah.. well I like making drinks and cooking so uh.. hehe I really like this job so I make sure I do my best!" you sheepishly said "Aww, I can see that, keep it up!" he said.

🕶️Security came and somehow the guy harassing you had a handkerchief on his mouth and his hands were tied. Huh did beel do that?

🕶️When you talked to the security about the guy, you told them what he did and beelzebub did. "Oh yeah also this guy, Beelzebub, he helped me wi-" Naberius cut you off "DID YOU SAY BEELZEBUB?" "huh? Yeah he's right here...oh he's gone..." you noticed there was a note under the glass he drank. "You make drinks that are unlike any other! Oh and that grilled cheese was delightful! I'll make sure Bael knows about this... But not today though! Try to keep this a secret okay? :3" You mentally facepalmed why saying sorry in your mind. "Uhm.. Naberius... Not to be dumb but... Who is Beelzebub?" "HE'S THE OWNER OF AVISOS BAR! HE WAS HERE?!" You noticed how this was making a scene, not to mention Amon and stolas as well as Bael was coming towards you "I... Yeah? Very light blonde short hair on the front, with green and yellow eyes, and pretty? Yeah? Oh with long earrings and necklace too?? Oh he's the owner..." You were shocked "He always wanders off and let's me do all the job here... He'll pay for this!!!" Bael said "He said you did a good job hiring me and... He liked the drinks and food" "Oh. Looks like you're going to be promoted soon. Keep it up then. As for him... That demonic person... When I get my hands on him he'll pay tenfold!!!" Everyone was devastated that they missed Beelzebub.

🕶️You kept seeing Beelzebub in the club every now and then. Both of you shared stories and you can see that he's really fond of you.

🕶️He always wants you to keep it a secret whenever he's there tho.

Leviathan

⚰️You were an office worker with an 8 to 5 job. Your co-workers invited you to a club after the anniversary of your company. Somehow the name of the bar was quite familiar to you, but you couldn't remember the significance.

⚰️The club wasn't really your thing, some of your office mates mingled, some drank and you were sitting with your phone in your hands. You somehow had an uncomfortable, eerie feeling that someone was watching you.

⚰️You tried to brush off that feeling and went to the bar. You sat beside a guy with light colored hair, you noticed that he was looking pretty.

⚰️You didn't notice that you were staring at him for too long and he looked back at you. "Didn't you mother taught you that it's rude to stare?" He said while glaring at you. You apologized and sheepishly looked away.

⚰️You ordered your drink and somehow you still feel that someone was staring. Until one lady approached you and started flirting with you. "Hey sweetie? You alone? I've been looking at you for quite some time now. How about I accompany you, hmm?" She was being a bit touchy, she put her hand in yours and you retracted. "Ah no, I've got some friends there, I don't need accompanying thank you" you politely declined as she was making you uncomfortable. "Now now sweetie, I know you need company, don't resist now" "Um. Sorry I'll politely refuse." "I said you need company. Don't refuse me sweetie" you were looking at her weirdly. "No. Sorry..." "I said, YOU DO NEED COMPANY" that's when the unhinged woman threatened you with a knife. "Heard of the phrase 'no means no'?" the pretty light haired guy beside you spoke. "Hah who cares about what other people think, what is important is what I think, and that's why shut up!" she was becoming deranged. "Who told you that you can talk to me, huh? 'Fuck off'? How about you fuck off." it was all too fast, the light haired guy pinned the deranged woman in the bar table. He showed his badge which says 'F.B.I.' "The name's Leviathan, undercover agent of the FBI. Thank you for being useful and luring this deranged woman into showing her true self. She has already killed 60 innocent lives. She often goes to this club but she always use her money to make the owners shut up" he said as he handcuffed the woman. "If you ever become stupid enough and get lured and need help, call this in the future." He gave you his business card and you accepted.

⚰️Thank Heavens you did, because apparently you were a magnet for trouble. You often call his number every now and then. "Who knew a person like you would be wanted by many criminals that I kept track of." "What does that suppose to mean?!" "Nothing. I'll treat you today for making my life easier than it is." "I- well fine! I won't hold back with the food!"

⚰️You someone noticed how Leviathan was pretty but really serious. He also says what he thinks in his head which made you so irritated.

⚰️Needless to say your interactions become more frequent as he was a FBI agent and you're a magnet for trouble.

Got a crazy one for you today. I still can't get over it. I live near this, but thanks to Curieously for bringing it to my attention. I had no idea. This is Horizon House in Fort Lee, New Jersey, built in the 1960s- there are several buildings. It was always THE most prestigious place. How I always wanted to live here. My mom, who was a decorator, had several clients there. Okay, but here's where it gets weird- this is a glam penthouse for sale. 2bds, 3.5ba, yet it's only $190K. I won't reveal why until the end. You will be shocked. Curieously and I are still talking about it.

The sunken living room is very large. Walk down marble stairs.

The view is New York City across the way. That's the Hudson River dividing NJ/NY and there's also a view of the George Washington Bridge (circled) leading into NYC. (Traffic is a bitch, though, if you're commuting to the city.)

It's very open and spacious. You can even fit a baby grand piano in here and look at the cool canopy over the dining area.

Big kitchen- love that exhaust hood.

The kitchen is so large, it's an eat-in kitchen. Look at the big table that fits.

Check out this guest powder room.

This is the family room- it's a bit dated, but it was built in the 60s, so it's mid-century modern. Got a great view, though, a fireplace, and a door to the terrace.

Huge primary suite. You can see the walk-in closet, too, plus a built-in.

Check out the marble bath. (Remember - all this for only $199K)

Isn't the 2nd bedroom cute? It's got nooks.

Bath #2.

And, marble bath #3.

I wish my building had a lobby like this.

Resident's pool and patio.

Tennis courts.

Gym.

And children's playground.

Okay, so what's the deal? Well, apparently, it's only $199K to buy it, BUT, the HOA fee is a whopping $7,004.13mo! Oh, and Co-op board approval is required -income ratio 4:1. (B/c who the hell can afford that?) So let me get this straight. You pay a fee of $7Kmo. to live here and when you sell it you only get a measly $190K? How is this even possible? That's not all, though- it's an additional $98mo for parking/$106mo if you want valet parking. It's called a Stock Cooperative, which I really don't understand: A co-op is a way to own a primary residence, but where homeowners don't own their units outright; instead, each resident is a shareholder in the co-op itself.

Finn's Arm Is Mint

"Are you going?" Asked Aryanah, which for your info, was your average Caucasian girl.

"Be more specific, where exactly are we going?" I asked.

"The baseball game, of course!" She smiled at me, almost as if to convince me to go with her.

I groaned, "Are you guys going?" I asked both Gabby's.

"We will if you are going, and you?" Gabby looked at Boston.

We had our small friend group from Gym, but Boston was the only one I had two classes with, Gym and Orchestra. That was if Ren wasn't being counted, who was a black girl about my height, a very funny person as well.

"Yeah, who do you take me for? A pimp who stays home and watches his parents cry about 'little' money?" He said.

Out of everyone in the group, it was him who had the least amount of money, preventing him from hanging out much with us unless we paid for him.

Boston, like Aryanah, Kaylee and Gabby, was white, but he wasn't straight, nor was it near it either.

Not like anyone in our friend group was it. Well, we can't really say much about Gaby, we didn't really know whether or not she was bisexual or not.

"Guys! Guess who has enough money for a movie tonight?" Kaylee, one of our friends, came up behind us.

"Great, so I buy us snacks for the game and you guys invite the movie?" I ask, everyone nodding towards me.

Everyone but Ren

"You guys do know we could just sneak in through the back, right?" She told us.

"I mean, yeah, but if we get caught, you pay our fee." I told her, without looking at her.

"Sure."

"But before anything, let's go to the locker room. I left my stuff there." I told them, to which everyone agreed.

As we were walking, we bumped into Vance and his little friend group.

"Watch it faggots." Said one of them, the shorter one.

"Just who the fuck are you calling a faggot? Last time I checked you and Moose got some sexual tension between you." Gabby went off on him.

He looked ashamed at that. It was a total lie, but someone spread a rumour about 2 years ago about him and Moose when they were seen talking behind the middle school they went to, and since it was a small town, the word spreader quite fast.

"Oh yeah? You gotta get it now—" I cut him off, "If you boys would excuse us, we need to go to the locker rooms to get our stuff, and unless you guys would like to carry those heavy bags then you better get out of my sight." I told them, to which they quickly rushed out of our way knowing how heavy our bags were.

Both groups departed without looking at each other, other than me and Vance, we both looked back to each other's groups, which made us make eye contact.

We held it for a while till he went along with his friend group, yelling at them for leaving him.

"They're so weird, I swear." Boston said.

I gave him a side eye, walking alongside Gabby at the front.

"You know, you two seem to get along the most." She whispers to me, trying to not have anyone else hearing.

"Shut up, if we we're to get along then maybe he would leave me the fuck alone." I whisper yell.

She rolled her eyes and continued walking.

Once we got our stuff we decided to buy snacks for the game and headed to the baseball stadium, which was filled with people, both students and parents.

Gabby and I sat next to each other as always, cheering on the boys as they played out in the field.

In the end, it was our school's team that lost. It wasn't much of a big deal since we knew they wouldn't win.

It was mostly 9th graders against mostly 10th graders.

Both schools did things differetly. Both schools didn't have the 9th graders and 10th graders separated for the sports teams, they were both added together due to this being a small town.

As we were walking out of the stadium, I saw two of the players talking, one which I knew of, Finney Blake, thanks to being bullied by a few kids. The other one, Bruce Yamada, due to being one of the popular guys.

I only ever talked to Bruce once or twice, not really interested, Finney, on the other hand, I talked to a few more times.

"You're Finney Blake Right? Your arm is mint!" Bruce said to Finn.

I ignored whatever else they said, since it was none of my business.

"So, whose turn is it to pick?" Asked Gaby.

"Mine," I said and everyone looked at each other, "get ready to watch Silence Of The Lambs."

Now everyone looked at each other scared to the bone, all but Gabby, who looked unfaced.

It was a disturbing film that we both watched late at night when I managed to get my hands onto a cassette.

I invited everyone to a few snacks, since I was about to disturb them all, and we decided to sneak into the drive-in.

Once we were there, they went to buy the snacks with my money and me and Gabby decided to walk around, trying to find the perfect spot to watch without having to deal with the couples having sex inside the cars.

Gabby whistled, "You'll never believe who's here with us today." She pointed with her head, up to front.

Vance Hopper and his little gang were watching the movie, and once they saw us, Vance and his friends started walking towards us.

"Great, we're fucked once again." I told Gabby.

"Or maybe it's fate, admit it, it would be nice to have a couple in our friend group, other than Aryanah. Her boyfriend stinks." I agreed with her.

"Well, if it ain't the loser and the faggot. Why are you even here? You'll probably piss your pants to the horror." A guy with long hair said.

"We already watched the film lots of times, if anything, it would be you guys who'll piss their pants." I told them.

"Tch," He clicked his tongue, "yeah sure, and pigs can fly, as if we'll believe that."

Gabby and him went off on each other while I simply stared at Vance, who started back.

"You got pissy friends, you know." I told.

"And you got faggots as friends." He said.

"And you don't?" I pointed to the shortie next to him, who went red.

Vance simply shrugged it off and told his friends to go find a spot for them while I told Gabby to keep looking for ours.

"Are you really here to watch the movie or are you here to piss me off?" I asked him.

"I would've preferred just seeing you, but there's nothing much to look at."

"As if, have you seen yourself lately? You don't do anything other than play in the Pinball Machine and bully kids."

"And you don't?" He raised an eyebrow.

"We are completely different, you do it for fun, I do it when it's needed."

"What difference is it if we both do the same thing?" He asked me, getting closer to my face as he did.

"The reason why." I whispered to him.

His face was inches away from mine, but I could feel his breath hitting my face, and our noses almost touched.

He chuckled lightly and backed up away from me, going to see his friends.

"[Y/N], I found our spot!" Gabby yelled out to me and I walked towards her, waiting for the others.

Hi, guys! It’s evening, meaning it’s time to summarize what I did during the day. I kinda like separating what happened into sections, so I’ll continue doing so for the rest of my posts.

TL;DR:

Met with friends at the Pewter Museum of Science

Took notes on a lecture on Ultra Beasts and how to integrate them into society

Met an employee from an institute called Morphé

Told about a working theory the institute had on Fallers

Registered at the Pewter City Gym

Meeting at the Pewter Museum of Science

So as I said in my morning post, I met up with a couple of friends I made at the Aether Foundation at the museum. They told me not to give away their names, so I’ll refer to them as S and C for easier understanding.

After paying the admission fee of 50円, we headed inside. The first exhibit was about fossils discovered around the Kanto area. There were skeletons of Pokémon called Kabutops and Aerodactyl; some shelled fossils of Omanyte, Omnastar, and Kabuto; and an unidentified dragon skull. Replicas of these Pokémon were displayed alongside the fossils to give children an idea of what they would’ve looked like during their existence. All and all, it was cool to look through!

We then headed upstairs to the Space Exhibit. There, we learned about the history of space exploration and the collected meteorite samples that fell to the world from outer space. There was also a space shuttle display, but I’m curious if the shuttle had a real-world counterpart beforehand.

After entering through an archway to the right of the stairs, we found ourselves in the special exhibit on Ultra Space. I was fascinated by all the illustrations and pictures of the multiple Ultra Beasts and their habitats. Did you know that a Nihilego’s neurotoxin causes people to awaken their deepest desires as a protection mechanism? I was told before that Ultra Beasts were dangerous, but this exhibit put into perspective how frightening they truly were. S added that they were considered an invasive species because they change ecosystems to suit their needs, terrifying me more.

Ultra Beasts and Morphé

Through a set of double doors, we entered a lecture hall. S and C sat near the back, but I chose to be in the middle rows to take notes.

The presentation started with the host introducing the speaker, Lusamine, onto the stage. She was the head of the Aether Foundation, a Pokémon Preservation group and the leading research institute on Ultra Beasts. She started the presentation with an anecdote about her and her husband’s discovery of Nihilego and the events that came. Then, she caught the audience up on Ultra Beasts, some of their habitats, and their invasive tendencies. Though this information negatively painted Ultra Beasts, she used it as an opportunity to twist the narrative into something positive. She gave examples of humans working with Ultra Beasts within and outside their territories, proving that these habits were not an inherited evil but a consequence of evolution to preserve their species. Finally, she proposed solutions for integrating Ultra Beasts into modern Pokémon society while minimizing their parasitic nature.

Overall, I was highly interested in the lecture. It didn’t give me the answers I was looking for, but it was clear through the multitude of citations and data that there was merit to her words. I was surprised to hear that several child trainers had tamed these beasts, and I think the people in the hall were too. But, it also reassured the audience that these types of Pokémon can indeed be trusted and trained to become companions. Props to Lusamine for changing people’s minds!

S, C, and I approached Lusamine after the lecture, but another person had gotten to talk to her first. They introduced themselves as an employee at a dimensional and sleep research institute called Morphé, and they wondered if the foundation and the institute could share crucial research on Ultra Space and the nature of Fallers. I was… curious… so I interjected in the conversation. I’m honestly embarrassed by the stunt, but the employee was kind enough to reveal their findings. I noticed they were fiddling with the watch around their wrist, but I didn’t pay much mind.

The employee talked about a theory that Fallers were not simply victims of fate but instead were chosen to be displaced by an otherwordly force. The pattern so far added credence, with only trainers that were powerful or had the potential to be powerful becoming Fallers, such as a Hoenn Gym Leader, a chief at the International Police, and two of the kids mentioned in Lusamine’s presentation. I was about to ask for more clarification when the watch beeped. The employee excused themself, and we were left on stage to converse with each other.

Meeting the Gym Leader

The event took so long, the sun was already setting. S, C, and I hurried to the gym for registration, and we scheduled my match for tomorrow morning. Forrest and Brock were in the lobby, so they greeted us. I introduced myself as a new trainer from Unova who came to try out the League in Kanto. They were shocked that I chose Kanto to start my journey, but they were kind enough to give me a basic rundown of how Gym Challenges worked. Oh! I also showed them my team, since they were curious about what I had caught.

Conclusion

So now I’m resting in the Pokémon Center. S and C will be watching tomorrow’s match as Lusamine had something she needed to do. I’ll have to do my best to get my first badge. Oh, and I’ll record the match for you all to see. Maybe you all can give some tips on how to be a better battler. So, yeah. This is Lucil, signing off!

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ ➛ kindred souls (2)

Vienna begins to get used to Williams, the training and the meetings and everything. While finding her footing, she also finds a sponsor--or two, and reunites with someone she's been wanting to lean on for years.

And then when everything looks like it's going up, of course, something brings it all crashing down on Vienna.

masterlist (inprogress) / previous / next

There's a constant thump under Vienna's feet. The treadmill keeps coming, no stop in sight as she pumps her arms in time with her feet. Back lined up, eyes dead ahead. She runs like a damn machine, near perfect form. Anaya sleeping on her gym bag on the floor, big headphones over her ears to block out the noise from her sister's workout. The Williams garage has been mostly desolate, the building officially closing in about thirty minutes. Giving Vienna another ten minutes to work out, until the door clicks open. She looks to the side as she slows her treadmill, Jenson walking across the expanse. A pair of dress pants and a polo, clearly having just gotten off work.

“Didn’t expect anyone to still be here,” Jenson calls across the room as he approaches Vienna. The soft beep indicates the slowing of the treadmill down to a walk as she grabs her towel and begins to wipe off her face.

“Just finishing up now.” Vienna pants out, slowing the treadmill enough to stretch her legs as she finishes, “Sorry.”

“No, don’t apologize. You’ve been working really hard. You've got a natural level of talent though, Vi, like you were born for racing.” Jenson leans on a wall nearby, watching Vienna as she wraps her workout up. After a few moments of fiddling with her earbuds, Vienna stops her treadmill and comes to a pause.

"My Tio Giancarlo used to say that all the time. He put me in a kart as a kid, watched me zip around, and pronounced little seven year old Vienna as the new Schumacher." Vienna stretches out her legs as she turns back to look at Jenson, "Of course, that was before we moved to the US and everyone started calling me the next Earnhardt."

Jenson chuckles, pushing off the wall to take a few steps towards her, feeling a pull to check on her like he would his son. He pops her water bottle out of it's holder and holds it out as he says, "You seem to get compared to a lot of the greats."

"My mother hates that. Hates I race too, but it keeps me out of the house, so she's learned to love it." Vienna shrugs, then it's almost like a lightbulb goes off as she snaps to Jenson, eyes crinkly like his are when he smiles, "I actually had a question you might be able to answer. Or you'll have no idea."

Jenson nods with a soft laugh as Vienna steps off her treadmill and keeps stretching herself out, his voice chimes, "Sure, hit me, what's up, kid?"

Vienna finishes chugging about half her water bottle, then wipes her mouth as she starts, "Isn't there like... an entry fee I have to pay? Or like... equipment or something? I know William's isn't doing the best with money so I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be helping or..."

"Oh, yeah, I've got it." Jenson waves a hand. Taking on Vienna's pay had been easy for him. Sure, with Logan he was more of a 'sponsor' whereas with Vienna he was straight up paying it all himself, but still. Vienna's charges came out og his account as naturally as his kids schooling.

While he was speaking, Vienna knelt down to grab a t-shirt to throw on over her sports bra but at his words--she pauses, "What?"

"I've got it." Jenson reiterates, then continues while she's frozen in shock, "You need to be focused on training, on driving and getting better as the season progresses, not money."

Jenson walks around the treadmill, eyeing Anaya asleep on the floor. Vienna needed to be focusing her money on her and her sister, not on racing. This is something the team should be helping with anyways, not that Williams had the money for that.

Jenson continues after a pause, "You missed F1 Academy on the first try by a very small point difference, and your team at Williams has spent hours going through all the data we could find on you. You're amazing at gaining positions, you struggle a bit with defense in turns, you lose speed in chicanes because you break too hard coming into the first turn, but you can build insane speed in straights and you can hold cars that drive like shit easily. Every issue you struggle with can be trained out of you, Vienna. And I would hate to waste generational driver potential because you can't pay it."

Vienna looks like she might cry and Jenson gives her a tiny smile, a hand reaching out of his pocket to gently pat her shoulder in emphasis of his words.

"You're one of the best rookie drivers I've seen. I don't think it'll be long before you're moving into F2 or even F1." Jenson notices her apprehensive nature and quickly adds in a white lie, "Plus, I help a bunch of drivers pay for stuff. It's nothing to help you too."

Vienna's still, eyes wide before she wipes at her face, hands shaky as she lets out a tiny sigh.

"No, no, Jenson, it's my fees. I should be the one paying for everything--"

"Technically, Williams should be. That's why they're sponsoring you. But listen, Giancarlo and I raced together. I kinda owe him some dues for... messing around with his sister--"

"Ew!" Vienna laughs, waving her hands at Jenson, which only makes him laugh harder as she continues, the more he speaks though, the more soft his tone turns as he watches her teary smile.

"I figured that helping his niece was... probably a good place to start." Jenson runs a hand through his hair, "and... if you really want to pay me back, let's wait until you get some sponsors to help you pay everything off, okay?

Vienna laughs at the mention of her uncle, not sure how to explain to Jenson that she hasn't spoken to that man in years. Slowly, her chuckles turn to tears, and Jenson's hand squeezing her shoulder pulls her in for a tight hug. Vienna wraps her arms around Jenson, unable to explain to herself why she needs this hug so much, but she just chokes out broken thank yous.

After a few minutes, Vienna steps back and sighs, "Sorry, sorry. It's just... there's been a lot happening at home recently and I've been contemplating dropping racing because of funds and..."

"Lia told me." Jenson says quickly, not wanting Vienna to start crying again, "She told me after I decided to help you. So. You're not getting rid of my help anytime soon."

Vienna nods, laughing, "I'll have to thank her."

"And, Vienna, don't think it's a hindrance to me. I've been working with Williams for Logan for a while now, Lia kinda got tacked onto that because Logan treats her like a sister--and now you too. If anything I should just adopt all the William's drivers at this point."

Vienna's fully laughing now, head tossed back as she grins wide. Jenson feels a smile poke at his own lips, happy Vienna's no longer crying her eyes out.

"I wouldn't mind the adoption, Jenson." Vienna smiles, lightly punching his shoulder before walking over to her bag and gently shaking Anaya awake. Jenson watches as Anaya reaches up to cling to her sister's neck, wrapping her little legs around Vienna as the girl stands with her bag in one hand and her sister in the other.

Jenson takes her bag without being asked and she flashes him a thankful grin. They walk out of the gym to the car park, Vienna quickly putting Anaya in her car seat and making sure she's buckled up and tucked in with a blanket and pillow left in the backseat at all times. As the door shuts, Vienna sighs, looking back at Jenson.

"May I ask a weird question?" Jenson says, and when Vienna nods he quickly asks, "Why do you always have Anaya with you?"

"My mom works long hospital shifts as a nurse and we're in financial duress right now, so we can't really afford a nanny or any sort of childcare services other than what the public school gives us. So, it falls to me to basically be my sister's second mother."

Jenson nods, watching as Vienna looks down at her sister as if she's the most precious gem she's seen, "I love Anaya. I love her with my whole heart. But it's hard to do what my mother should be doing."

"You're doing a great job." Jenson sighs, "If you ever need help, with anything, please just ask."

"I'll try." Vienna smiles, rocking from foot to foot as she looks down at her sneakers and then back up to Jenson. Here she is, being given an olive branch by her favorite 2000s driver (other than her uncle or Tio Nano.) And it's just... something she'd never thought she'd see in a thousand years.

And it makes a smile cross her lips, as they bid goodnight, Jenson shouting over his shoulder to tell her to get some sleep tonight. Vienna says she will, but she doesn't have the heart to tell him she has a graveyard shift to work instead.

Vienna is lucky her meeting is during school hours for Anaya, plus, her mom promised to pick the girl up from school today since it's Anaya's sixth birthday. She makes her way through Williams, having arrived a bit earlier than she'd expected, and so she ducks into the simulator rooms just to peek.

Alex is sitting cross legged on one of the chairs, watching the stats on a screen as a few other Williams employees sit around the various monitors. She glances at one of the screens, tilting her head as she analyzing the data flying by. Slowly, she began to realize it was analyzing what would be tire deg and she softly 'oh'ed, which drew the attention of some of the people in the room.

"Oh, Vienna!" Alex chimes softly, waving from where he sits. Vienna offers him a warm smile he returns, and so she crosses the room to him to escape the prying eyes of every other employee.

"Hi, Alex." Vienna swallows and keeps the soft tone. She smiles, rocking from foot to foot, "sorry to interrupt training."

"No, no, it's fine. Logan's almost finished anyways, and then I go, and then we're all done for the morning. Why are you here?" He offers her the warmest smile possible and it seems like all of Vienna's stress melts off her.

"I'm meeting with my new manager about sponsors and such. Gonna try and get as many as I can." Vienna gives a small smile to the driver, who nods. The 2024 season isn't close to starting yet, and Vienna finds herself sitting back and watching as Logan finishes up his run in the simulator.

"Ooo. Good luck, sponsor stuff can be fun or really awkward." Alex laughs, then pops off the chair. The mechanics move to discuss strategy with Logan off to the side, and Alex bids farewell to Vienna for his crack at the simulator. She notes they're testing the Bahrain track, and she leans forward to watch as Alex starts. It's fascinating to her. A Netapp simulation room is something she's seen a billion times by now, but something about the one in front of her is daunting.

"You get used to it." A voice chimes and Vienna glances over as Logan slides into Alex's vacated seat, "I think I looked at it the same way the first time I saw it as a junior driver."

Vienna laughs softly, "I've done simulators before. This is just... it's huge."

Logan laughs softly and nods, leaning back as he watches Alex take on the Bahrain circuit without even thinking. His moves seem to be almost pre-determined, like his brain knows what to do before he thinks of it.

"You'll get to be in it soon enough." Logan nods.

After twenty more minutes of watching, Vienna bids goodbye to the Williams crew in the simulator room, and makes her way down the much brighter halls to the office spaces on the top floor. Down the glass paned hall is Vienna's managers office--Mrs. Joanne Roberts, who is also Lia's manager. When Vienna approaches the office, Joanne perks up, and happily waves Vienna inside as she stands.

"Vienna! It's so wonderful to meet you!" Joanne comes around her desk to give Vienna a warm, welcoming hug. It's so nice Vienna holds it for probably a little longer than necessary, not that she minds.

After brief introductions, Joanne turns her screen on her computer so Vienna can see. The woman briskly explains, "You have a lot of opportunities. Hollister, Garage, F1 x H&M, Skatie, Skims... there's a whole lot. The team is sponsored by a lot of companies as well. Over the course of the 2024 season, you'll be roped into features with Duracell, My Protein, Puma, Jumeirah, Crew Clothing, and Life Fitness alongside Logan, Lia, and Alex."

There's so many names, Vienna is struggling to wrap her head around it all. Luckily, Joanne is able to simplify it.

"What I need to know from you now is your availability to do modeling opportunities for Hollister, Garage, F1 x H&M, Skatie, Skims, Puma, and Crew Clothing. Each one is offering around a hundred to two hundred pounds per hour during the shoots--and they can last from three hours to up to ten. So it would be best to get as many as possible, it also opens the door for you to have your own sponsors, or to bring it new sponsors for Williams." Joanne opens the Google calendar app on her computer, showing a mass of color-coded calendars until she toggles one labeled 'VIENNA FISICHELLA.'

"Uhm." Vienna scrambles to pull out her phone, "I mean... I'd have to see with my mom and Anaya..."

"Of course." Joanne nods, "how about this, I'll send you an email with all the dates proposed, and we can go from there."

"That works perfectly, thank you." Vienna sighs out happily and Joanne nods, moving on to talk about some events Vienna will need to have her calendar cleared for in the future while the girl furiously takes notes.

Leaving Williams with a promise to Logan and Alex to visit their side of the building more often, Vienna stumbles her way into the fading orange sunlight. Her car isn't far, but it feels like she's having to run miles. Between everything she's been doing, Vienna can't remember a day where she was just lazy and she's afraid it's going to catch up to her soon.

Getting in her car, she yanks a Red Bull out of her bag and chugs the whole thing in one go, letting everything kick in while she checks over her to-do lists and marks off what she's already done. Her calendar was chock full of events now for the next three months leading up to the first Academy race. It made her feel sick.

The drive home is slow, almost tedious. Vienna gets stuck in unexpected traffic, and then a road is closed, and by the time she's back at the apartment building its raining and she's so tired and she just wants to take a fucking nap or something with Anaya before her party.

Vienna opens the door to the sound of soft laughter in the kitchen, slamming it and lifting up the knob so the door properly closes, calling out, "I'm home!"

Theres a pause, silence, before Anaya's little steps round the corner and she squeals. Vienna makes sure to drop her bags before lifting the six year old into her arms and making her way back into the kitchen where she can see her mom at the table.

"At school we had a party for my birthday! And I got this hat, it's kinda pokey, but I asked for a blue one because Williams is blue!" Anaya rattles on, more about the party and the balloons, and Vienna pauses just shy of the doorway as Anaya gasps really loud,

"Oh! And, and! When Momma picked me up she had cookies for me! I saved one for you too," Anaya exclaims and Vienna looks around at how beautifully her mom had decorated the apartment. It was stunning, out of some movie set.

Anaya continues, "And then we got home and Momma had a friend over--"

"Yeah, who did Momma have over?" Vienna makes her way into the kitchen and its like the world freezes up. The room is beautiful, set with a big cake on the table, presents bundled in the corner, streamers and balloons and everything Anaya would like strewn about. But it's not the beauty of the room that takes Vienna's breath away like a car crash, no, it's who's sitting at the table.

"Uncle Giancarlo!"

"È lo zio Giancarlo." Vienna breathes. Sure as hell, there the man sits, wine glass in hand. He smiles when Vienna gapes at him, and when Anaya wiggles out of her sisters grasp, Vienna quickly puts her down.

"Ana, baby," Dove stands, looking at her two daughters and smiling down at Anaya, "Why don't we go set up the dolls in your room, yes? Come, come."

Dove brings her youngest down the hall, looking utterly stiff until she's gone, and what's left is the silence of Vienna staring down her uncle. The man who she had assumed she'd have to wait years before seeing again. It almost brings tears to her eyes immediately.

"It's been a long time, topina." Giancarlo lets Vienna move forward, setting down his glass as he stands and the twenty year old barrels into his chest with a loud sigh. A world's worth of pressure lifting off her shoulders and she snuggles into the hold of her uncle.

"Too long." Vienna agrees, "My italian is a bit rusty."

Giancarlo laughs, pressing a soft kiss to his niece's hairline, pulling back enough to look the girl in the eyes, "It's alright. I can teach you again."

He takes her face in his hands and laugh to himself, shaking his head as he lets go and sits back down. Vienna follows him down, hyper aware of every little chuckle, every twitch of his face. Giancarlo picks up his wine, lets out a sigh and takes a sip.

"You are growing into such a little star, aren't you?" He leans forward, then smiles, "la mia stella. That you are."

Vienna nods, her eyes are wet with unshed tears, and she lifts her sleeve up to scrub the tears away from her face before he uncle takes her hand and squeezes it.

"Grazie--grazie mille. What brings you here?" Vienna finally finds it in herself to ask, fighting through the knot in her throat. Talking about her father would just make her either cry or grow increasingly frustrated. Giancarlo shifts, then squeezes his nieces hand to draw her attention up to him.

"I want to sponsor you. Personally. Not as some organization. You're going to be doing great things, and I know if your father had the opportunity to pour money into your racing he would." Giancarlo runs his thumb along the side of her hand, "So, I took out a bit from my savings."

He turns, grabbing a letter from the side of the table and sliding it to Vienna.

"This should cover the whole season, and then some." He says, "give it to your manager for me. Quit your job, focus on racing. This is something you can really make into something and you should be focusing on that, not the money."

Vienna nearly knocks him off his chair with the force of her hug. And his arms wrap back around her so tightly she feels like he could snap her ribs, puncture her lungs that are already empty of air as she shudders out a sob. The room is quiet for a long time, a steady hand rubbing her back as Vienna just sobs out thank yous.

It's a long while until Vienna sits back, finally, and blots her tears, she laughs.

"I have to call Jenson," She says, looking down at the letter. Missing the stiffening of her Uncle's jaw. She wipes at her eyes and laughs, "He's been helping me pay for everything."

Giancarlo smiles and laughs softly, "sounds like Jenson. I'll have to thank him for keeping an eye on you--"

"Giancarlo, are you staying for dinner?" Dove sharply interjects from the hall, little Anaya clinging to her mothers hands. And when Giancarlo nods, Vienna's heart feels full. Finally. Everything is starting to click together. Her family was talking, she had her racing career in line, everything was good.

For now. She knew the ball would drop soon.

Vienna's in the middle of scrubbing dishes when there's a loud knock at the apartment door. It's two or so weeks later, a Sunday, during one of Vienna's days off. She pops down the dish in hand and yawns as she makes her way to the door. Anaya pokes around the corner as Vienna opens to a woman with a large file in hand.

"Hello," The woman chimes, "I'm Maria with the building rental collection services. Are you Ludovica Davies?"

"She's my mother, uhm... she's at work right now, and will be until seven tomorrow morning," Vienna says simply, "I can take a message?"

"Just... give her this file, alright sweetheart?" Maria hands Vienna a pretty thick letter and Vienna nods, bidding the woman goodbye. Once the door is shut and locked again, Vienna makes her way to her desk, sitting down with the file in hand and sighing softly as she grabs her letter opener.

"What are you doing?" Anaya asks her sister softly, looking at Vienna. The elder sister pauses, then swallows, starting to open the letter with a sense of dread in her stomach only growing the longer it took.

"I'm looking at it." She replies dully, and Anaya gasps.

"But that lady told you to give it to Momma!"

"It's alright." Vienna sets down her letter opener when the letter is open fully, "Why don't you finish up your homework so I can look it over before bed, okay?"

Anaya nods, giving her sister a weird look, before vanishing down the hall. Sighing to herself, two shaky hands open the letter and flick it up to green eyes, Vienna taking her time to read the words in front of her. Her jaw practically dislocates at the speed at which it drops. Every creak of Anaya playing in the kitchen while doing her work, the girls soft singing, the tap of the leaky sink they'd yet to get fixed in the bathroom, the ding of the elevator down the hall... every noise is hyper sensitive to Vienna's ears.

And then the world goes silent, the only thing existing in that moment being the racing thump of Vienna's heart and the papers she shakily flips through with an increased sense of dread in her stomach.

Bills. Bills. Bills.

She flips open each one, scattering them across her bed as she climbs up, her hands flicking through the calculating the money. The interest. What her mother owed. It was sickening to think about.

They're at risk of losing the apartment. Her mother was behind on a whole year of payments. The building had been kind, knowing she was going through a divorce that she was also behind on paying for, and had allowed her to wait six months before paying back rent.

But now, they were so behind, they had three months to pay off the debt to the apartment building. Plus, one week to pay at least five thousand to hold the apartment for those three months.

Almost seventy thousand pounds alone for the apartment, plus late fees and other utility bills. Not to mention the twenty thousand for a lawyer.

Before Vienna can think to hide her snooping, her bedroom door slams open with a very nervous looking Dove, who sees the damage of her misdeeds. Her daughter kneeling on her bed, pages upon pages of papers sprawled out on the plush white sheets.

"Were you ever gonna tell me or Chris we're behind on rent?" Vienna cuts straight to the chase--daring to bring up her ex-step-father, even if the conversation always brought tension between the two of them.

There would be plenty of tension if she got them kicked to the streets.

Vienna keeps her voice soft as to not alert her younger sister just down the hall, "And not even mentioning your divorce lawyer fees, we're already twenty thousand down."

Dove is quiet for a moment before shutting Vienna's bedroom door, stammering out, "Listen, I can explain--"

"I can't believe this." Vienna laughs bitterly, standing up to face her mother. Blonde hair whipping behind her as she runs a hand through it, trying to swallow her terrified expression into a stern one, "I can't believe this! We're gonna lose the apartment and you're about to try and lie to me. Mom--no, Ludovica, we will be homeless."

"I don't have the money!" Dove cries, moving over to her daughter, who swats her mother's hands away like a scared animal.

"Does Chris?"

The dead silence makes Vienna groan, falling into another bitter laugh as she groans into her hands, "Ludovica. Does Chris?"

"He took the money and ran with it. I'm so sorry, Vi." Dove whispers, "It was never supposed to be this way. I had been hoping that with your gift from Giancarlo that everything would be fine, but now... now everything is in shambles because I am such a failure of a mother... I have sacrificed everything for you both and it hasn't been enough."

Vienna stand there in her bedroom. The room she had lived in for years. Feeling the world closing in on her. She realizes she's about to have to give up everything. Again. Like she had since the day her sister was born. Every single day she lived like she was her mother's in-house nanny and not her mother's daughter. She'd given up racing, friends, university... everything for Anaya. But she could never hate the girl for it. It was their mother's fault. It just fell to Vienna to pick up the pieces.

Was this the curse of eldest children?

Vienna looks over to her desk where the check her uncle had given her lays. Cursing under her breath, she gets up and crosses the room while Dove tries to give her daughter some sort of sob story. Begging Vienna that the thousands she has are just for her. But theres never really a choice.

How was she supposed to stay in racing if they didn't have anything to their names? How was she supposed to say no to her mother with Anaya just down the hall?

With dread, she's ripping open the letter with tears that drip onto the letter's envelope. Inside is a check. A check thats supposed to go to her racing.

Her hands shake. It's three hundred thirty thousand pounds. It will cover everything. Everything and more. Even the tax. Every bill will be covered with the brush of Vienna's pen. And then there'd be some left over when it was all said and done.

Dove fake cries to her daughter, "Oh, Vienna... baby, I can't ask you to do that for me. That money is yours... even if its just enough to save us..."

Vienna turns back to look at her mother, feeling a sick feeling cross her stomach as her mother comes over, laying her hands on her daughters upper arms and rubbing slowly and soothingly.

"I made you into such the perfect little daughter," Dove says, turning and taking Vienna's chin between ehr thumb and forefinger, looking at her daughter, "Look at everything I've given you... baby, please... just help this one time?"

Vienna doesn't reply, just holds the letter tighter in her hands. It felt like signing away her entire future. But her mother had no one to lean on and Anaya to support. Vienna could keep her job. Vienna could get sponsors. Vienna could figure it out. Vienna could pay everything off for racing... right? Right..?

"You love me, right?" Dove whispers to her daughter, capturing her eyes again, "you know what's the right thing to do, don't you, Vi?"

"This is for Anaya." Vienna snips, her voice taught with pain, grabbing her pen and scribbling her name down, "Just take the fucking money."

Dove sobs, falling to her knees dramatically, thanking her daughter in a way that just makes Vienna feel guilty. As Dove stands, kissing her daughters head, she whispers, "You've done so good, Vi. Thank you."

But it felt hollow.

As Dove left the room, Vienna called, "If I give you this money, you have to pay me back. Every dollar. And you never ask me for money again. I need the money for racing. Which, because I'm paying your rent, you have to let me do. Okay?"

Dove is quiet for a long while before she sighs, and agrees, and Vienna feels her life slip away as her mother scoops up the documents, presses a kiss that feels like poison to Vienna's head, and then walks out to pretend everything is fine to Anaya in the kitchen.

Personal Trainer Near Me: The Key to Staying Fit and Healthy

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining health and fitness has become a significant challenge for many individuals. With busy schedules, irregular routines, and a plethora of distractions, it's easy to neglect our physical well-being. This is where hiring a personal trainer near me can make a transformative difference. A personal trainer provides tailored guidance, motivation, and accountability to help you achieve your fitness goals efficiently and sustainably.

Why Hire a Personal Trainer?

The decision to work with a personal trainer near me is not just about having someone guide your workouts. It's about having a professional who understands your unique needs and tailors a fitness program specifically for you. Here are some key reasons why hiring a personal trainer is a smart choice:

1. Customized Fitness Plans

Everyone has different fitness levels, goals, and preferences. A personal trainer creates a workout plan that caters to your specific needs, whether it's weight loss, muscle building, improving flexibility, or simply staying active.

2. Accountability and Motivation

It can be challenging to stay consistent with workouts when you're doing it alone. A personal trainer keeps you accountable and motivates you to push through difficult sessions, ensuring you stay on track.

3. Proper Technique and Injury Prevention

One of the most critical aspects of exercising is maintaining the correct form to avoid injuries. Personal trainers are skilled in teaching proper techniques, minimizing the risk of injury, and ensuring your workouts are effective.

4. Efficient Use of Time

With a busy schedule, making the most of your workout time is crucial. A personal trainer ensures you focus on exercises that deliver the best results within the available time.

5. Continuous Progress and Adaptation

As your fitness level improves, your trainer will adapt your workout routine to keep you challenged and help you achieve new milestones.

Benefits of Hiring a Personal Trainer Near Me

Searching for a personal trainer near me provides added convenience and accessibility. Here are some benefits of working with a local trainer:

1. Familiarity with Local Resources

Local trainers often have extensive knowledge of nearby parks, gyms, and fitness facilities. They can recommend the best locations for outdoor or indoor workouts.

2. Flexibility in Scheduling

Hiring a trainer nearby means you can schedule sessions at times that suit your routine, whether early mornings, late evenings, or weekends.

3. Community Connections

Working with a local trainer can connect you to a broader fitness community, including group classes, wellness events, and social workout sessions.

4. Home-Based Training Options

Many local personal trainers offer home-based training services, eliminating the need to commute to a gym. This is ideal for those who prefer privacy or have limited time to travel.

How to Choose the Right Personal Trainer Near Me

Finding the right personal trainer is crucial for a successful fitness journey. Here are some tips to help you make the best choice:

1. Check Credentials and Experience

Look for trainers with proper certifications from reputable organizations such as NASM, ACE, or ISSA. Additionally, consider their experience in working with clients who have similar fitness goals.

2. Assess Communication and Compatibility

Your trainer should be someone you feel comfortable with and who understands your needs. A good rapport is essential for a positive training experience.

3. Read Reviews and Testimonials

Online reviews and client testimonials can provide valuable insights into the trainer's effectiveness and professionalism.

4. Discuss Goals and Expectations

Before committing, have an initial consultation to discuss your fitness goals and how the trainer plans to help you achieve them.

5. Consider Pricing and Packages

Ensure the trainer's fees align with your budget. Many trainers offer package deals that can be more cost-effective in the long run.

What to Expect from a Personal Training Session

A personal training session typically includes the following components:

1. Initial Assessment

The trainer assesses your fitness level, discusses your goals, and identifies any health concerns or limitations.

2. Warm-Up

Every session begins with a warm-up to prepare your body for exercise and reduce the risk of injury.

3. Customized Workouts

The main part of the session focuses on exercises tailored to your fitness goals, incorporating strength training, cardio, flexibility, and more.

4. Cool down and Stretching

Sessions end with a cool-down and stretching to promote recovery and reduce muscle soreness.

5. Progress Tracking

Trainers often track your progress over time, adjusting your workouts to ensure continuous improvement.

The Role of Nutrition in Your Fitness Journey

While exercise is a critical component of fitness, proper nutrition plays an equally important role. A personal trainer can guide you on:

1. Healthy Eating Habits

Trainers can recommend balanced diets that support your fitness goals, focusing on nutrient-rich foods.

2. Meal Planning

Some trainers offer meal planning services to help you stay consistent with your nutrition.

3. Supplement Advice

They can also advise on supplements that may enhance your performance and recovery, depending on your needs.

Today I asked god to let a barrier be open on my journey. It was this morning infact. I’d forgot my cards ; oyster and work card and only had my phone. It didn’t work this morning but I wasn’t too bothered it was in coming back that it occurred to me that I wasn’t on times side as my phone was on 18% and I’d left work later than usual. It dawned on me in green park that I didn’t want to pay for the travel full way and I thought about the barrier being open because I asked god for it. Bro I got to London Bridge and there was a officer standing infront of an open barrier blocking another guy trying to get thru. So I diverted to the other barriers and saw there was another open one and went thru that one!!! I remember having this warm feeling inside near my diaphragm area and looking up saying to myself “God is listening to me!! God is listening to MEEEE!!” had I not believed if I would have faced the same fate as brodie with the security. The lesson here is trusting in your inner god to get what you want. As above so below. I even got to Grove Park and walked past feds checking tickets lol. I’m that fucking guy bro. I get what I want!!! anyways today was meh. Emma did tell me some noteworthy shit tho; she effectually said that I should think more positive and she’s right. And I know it already so I’m gonna do it cause she’s right; I get results that way. Bad energy needs company around it to survive. Don’t be that company. Be a guest not a tenant. Pay it no mind!!!! But yeah she was right. I even went to help my dad fix a door in some house for a friend of his. We need to go back tomorrow but he first needs to find a locksmith so he’ll get back to me on that. ALSO my gym is trying o make me pay £300 for my membership lmaooooooo they can fuck right off with that you’re taking this £65.99 like the rest of them. the fuck do you mean I’m paying £300 for a membership late fee??? Are you insane!? you’re taking this 65.99. being real niggardly!!! 😂😂🤣

Anyways I’m gonna meditate and impress my subconscious!!! I’m out!!

1,2,3 BHK Apartments for rent near me

Explore HappyStay for a home away from home!Find homestays,apartments,flats, and independent houses for rent near me.Visit our website at happystay.in.

Looking for a new place to call home? Finding the right apartment, whether it's a 1, 2, or 3 BHK unit, depends on your lifestyle, space needs, and budget. Here’s a breakdown of what each type offers and tips to find the ideal rental near you.

1 BHK Apartments for Rent

1 BHK apartments are popular among singles, young professionals, and couples who seek simplicity and convenience. These apartments usually feature a bedroom, hall, and kitchen, perfect for those who need a manageable and cost-effective space. The monthly rent for 1 BHK units tends to be lower, making it ideal if you're looking to save on living costs without sacrificing essential amenities.

When searching for a 1 BHK apartment, consider its proximity to your workplace, public transportation, and essential services like grocery stores or fitness centers. Because of their smaller size, it's crucial to check if there’s sufficient storage and if the layout feels comfortable and efficient.

2 BHK Apartments for Rent

A 2 BHK apartment is a popular choice for small families, roommates, or couples who prefer a bit more space. Typically offering two bedrooms along with a living room and kitchen, 2 BHK apartments strike a balance between affordability and functionality. These units give you extra room for a home office, guest bedroom, or even a small nursery if you’re planning to start a family.

When evaluating a 2 BHK apartment, look for quality of natural light, ventilation, and whether there are enough amenities to justify the rent. Many renters opt for 2 BHK apartments in neighborhoods with parks, schools, and recreational facilities nearby, especially if children are involved.

3 BHK Apartments for Rent

For larger families or those who love extra space, 3 BHK apartments are an ideal option. Offering three bedrooms along with a separate hall and kitchen, these apartments suit families with older children or households that frequently host guests. A 3 BHK unit often provides the flexibility for multiple setups, such as a personal office, guest room, or play area.

While searching for a 3 BHK apartment, consider properties with ample parking and facilities like a swimming pool, gym, or clubhouse, which are often part of larger complexes. Since these apartments tend to be on the higher end of rent pricing, ensure that you’re getting the amenities and convenience needed to match the investment.

Key Factors to Consider When Renting

Location: Finding an apartment "near me" often means considering its distance from work, schools, and daily conveniences. Prioritize areas with easy access to transportation and essential services.

Budget: Define your budget carefully. While 1 BHK units are budget-friendly, 2 and 3 BHK apartments offer added space that comes at a higher rent. Make sure to factor in monthly utility costs, maintenance fees, and possible security deposits.

Amenities: Check for facilities such as elevators, parking spaces, security services, and recreational spaces. Apartments in well-maintained complexes often provide these benefits but come with added costs.

Safety: Choosing a neighborhood with a good reputation for safety is crucial. Look into local crime rates, building security measures, and neighborhood reviews.

Lease Terms: Ensure you understand the lease agreement terms, including the length, rent escalation clauses, and maintenance responsibilities. It’s best to clarify the owner’s or building management’s policies on maintenance and repairs.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re considering a cozy 1 BHK or a spacious 3 BHK, finding the right apartment is about balancing your space needs, lifestyle, and budget. By researching thoroughly, considering future requirements, and visiting multiple properties, you’ll be well-equipped to find a rental that feels like home.

Achieving Flawless Eyebrows with Microblading Near Me in Langford, BC

Imagine waking up every day with perfectly shaped, flawless eyebrows—no more spending precious time in front of the mirror trying to get them just right. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, if you're in Langford, BC, that dream can easily become a reality with microblading eyebrows at Laser Obsession!

This semi-permanent beauty treatment has become a game-changer for those looking to enhance their brows. Whether you've over-plucked in the past or want fuller, well-defined brows, microblading offers a natural, effortless solution.

Curious about how you can achieve the perfect brows?

Let's dive in!

What is Microblading and How Does It Work?

Microblading is a highly sought-after semi-permanent technique that creates the appearance of fuller, more natural-looking eyebrows. The process begins with a one-on-one consultation, where they discuss your ideal brow shape and choose a colour that matches your natural hair and skin tone.

Once they’ve found the perfect combination, the brow area is carefully cleaned and numbed to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Instead of a typical tattoo machine, a handheld tool is used to manually draw fine, hair-like strokes, mimicking the natural flow of your brows. After the procedure, an ointment is applied to aid in the healing process and protect your newly enhanced brows.

Why Choose Microblading for Flawless Eyebrows?

If you're tired of spending time every morning shaping, filling, and perfecting your eyebrows, microblading might just be the solution you've been searching for. This semi-permanent technique offers a natural-looking way to enhance your brows without the hassle of daily maintenance.

With microblading, you can achieve perfectly shaped, fuller brows that stay in place whether you’re sweating at the gym or swimming at the beach. The best part? It’s customized just for you—everything from the shape to the colour is tailored to suit your unique face and style. So, if you’re looking for a low-maintenance way to have flawless eyebrows that always look great, microblading is definitely worth considering!

Benefits of Microblading for Natural-Looking Brows

Microblading offers a range of benefits for anyone looking to achieve fuller, natural-looking brows without the daily hassle. One of the biggest advantages is its ability to create incredibly realistic, hair-like strokes, making your eyebrows appear effortlessly full and defined. Whether you have thin brows, uneven shapes, or sparse areas, microblading fills in the gaps while still maintaining a natural appearance.

Another major perk is the long-lasting results. Unlike makeup, which needs to be reapplied daily, microblading can last up to 18 months with minimal touch-ups. This means more time for you to enjoy your day and less time spent worrying about your brows smudging or fading throughout the day.

Plus, microblading is completely customizable to suit your unique facial features and style. Your brow shape and colour are carefully chosen to enhance your natural beauty, giving you the confidence of always having perfect brows that look like they belong on your face. It’s the ideal solution for anyone seeking a low-maintenance, long-lasting way to achieve flawless, natural-looking brows!

Choosing the Right Microblading Artist in Langford, BC

When it comes to microblading, choosing the right artist is crucial to getting the flawless, natural-looking brows you want. In Langford, BC, you’ll find several options, but it’s important to do your research. Look for an artist with experience, a strong portfolio, and great reviews from past clients. Check if they’re certified and follow proper safety and hygiene standards. You’ll also want to make sure they take the time to consult with you about your desired brow shape and colour. A skilled microblading artist will work with your natural features to create a look that suits your face perfectly, ensuring you leave feeling confident and happy with your new brows.

In Langford, BC, Laser Obsession stands out as an excellent choice for microblading. With their skilled professionals and commitment to exceptional results, they are a top option for achieving beautifully shaped, natural-looking eyebrows.

Microblading Aftercare Tips for Long-Lasting Results

After your microblading session, proper aftercare is key to ensuring your new brows heal well and last as long as possible. In the first few days, avoid getting your brows wet and steer clear of any heavy sweating or activities that could affect the healing process.

It’s also important to avoid touching or scratching the area, even if it feels itchy as it heals. Your artist will likely provide an ointment to help with healing—make sure to apply it as instructed.

Finally, protect your brows from sun exposure and avoid harsh skincare products around the area. With the right care, your microbladed brows can stay looking flawless for months!
