Icy Flames

Chapter 26

On Monday morning, Sammy called Leo to come to the Gym. 

"Sammy you know I'm very busy." Leo said

"My best friend can't even accept my invitation to my newly opened Gym. Very bad." Sammy said

"Okay I'll come." Leo said in defeat.
Sammy is a really nice guy. They met at college. He was very independent and also hardworking. Even though his father is rich, he still worked hard to make a name for himself. He was very disciplined when it came to women. Leo was already prepared to listen to his lectures. He got ready and drove off to the Gym.

"Where are going you Adrian?" His mother asked.

"To the Gym." He replied.

"But you just came back from a business trip yesterday."  She said

"Mom, please I have to go." Adrian said.

She looked at him raising an eyebrow "You are not going anywhere."

"Mom!"

"Except you take Stephanie along."

"But mom...."

"No buts. She's coming along." She said as she went upstairs to call Stephanie

Adrian walked towards his car and waited for Stephanie. He was disappointed, his mom won't even let him go out alone. If he had known, he would have gone to his pent house instead of coming home.

After some minutes, Stephanie came out of the house and walked to Adrian's car.

"Morning big bro." Stephanie greeted.

"Morning little sis." Adrian replied frowning his face as he entered the car.

Stephanie also entered the car and they drove off.

At the Gym, Stephanie stood behind Adrian like a bodyguard and watch him as he worked out. She tried starting up a conversation with him, so that she won't be bored but he immediately cut her off saying;

"Don't you have anything else to do?"

"No." Stephanie said.

" Then just take a walk around the Gym. I want to be alone." Adrian said as he continued doing his work out.

"Okay." Stephanie said as she left him alone.

As Stephanie began to walk around the Gym, she started finding the equipments in the Gym interesting so she decided to try out the treadmill.

Sammy was talking to Leo as he raised the dumbbell.

"Leo, you shouldn't treat Alita like that." Sammy said.

"Come on bro, drop the topic. Let talk about something else."

"I won't drop the topic. You said you have feelings for her and you treat her like that! What if one day you decided to tell her how you feel and she just shut you out just like she did before."

"Not happening. There's no way I'll tell her how I feel. I'm definitely sure my feeling for her would go away." Leo said. Sammy chuckle "You're crazy. You've had feeling for her since High School. And they didn't even go away when you guys broke up. How do you expect those feeling to go away when you are married to her?"

"You're my friend right?"

"Yeah."

"Then behave like one." Leo said.

Before Sammy could find a word to say to Leo, he was distracted by a girl's scream. He immediately dropped his dump bell and ran to the direction of the voice. The girl who scream for help was on a treadmill. The treadmill was running too fast. Sammy quickly rushed to the treadmill, as he got closer the girl fell backwards not able to keep up with the speed. Before she could hit the ground, Sammy caught her.
