The next morning, Kayla sits on the bench near the little workout area and sips her coffee. She's comfortably dressed in an oversized T-shirt and jean shorts as she waits for Buck to get done working out so she can bother him more about Maddie being in town.

A figure makes its way into her view, and she almost spits out her coffee. Eddie smiles at her as he tightens up his boxing gloves. His messy hair and arms are on full display in his loose tank top; she almost drools. He gives the bag a few jabs before doing a cool kick, leaving her very impressed.

Chimney soon comes into the mix, as Buck grabs some heavier weights, and she just watches in enjoyment at the men around her. Most of the time, men are annoying and kind of stupid, but damn, do they know how to put on a show to try and fill their egos in front of a woman. Sitting crisscross, she sips her coffee as Buck starts to take selfies on a selfie stick, of all things.

"You're in the wrong light, man," Eddie says, her head quickly jerking over to look at him. 

"Some of us don't need lighting to look good." Buck is way too confident, so it is her pleasure to knock him down a peg. 

"Yes, you do, bullhead. Take the advice." Buck glares at her as Chimney and Eddie laugh, and she smiles brightly at her best friend.

"Hey, Eddie, what did you mean by "the wrong light"?" Chimney asks. 

"The light in this room is flat and blue. It makes you look soft. If you want to look lean and your muscles to pop, you need warm side light. I'll show you. These are the ones I sent in for the calendar." Eddie grabs his phone, and Kayla gets off the bench.

Walking over, she looks over his shoulder and chokes on her coffee when a photo of him shirtless pops up. Chimney and Eddie laugh, but Eddie looks concerned. 

"Are you okay, darling?" he asks, a bit of a southern accent coming out. 

"Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Coffee just went down the wrong pipe." She coughs out and walks over to sit back down, knowing it's safer on the bench.

"It's kind of cheating to submit pictures by a professional photographer." Bucks grumbles.

 Eddie chuckles, "The photographer's 12. She's my niece. She's a master at the iPhone filters." Kayla feels her heart melt at the mention of his niece.

"You think she'd be willing to take my submission pics for me? I'm told I photograph like an Asian Fabio." Chimney jokes.

"Don't lie, Chim. That's not good for your soul." He makes a face at her while Eddie laughs. 

"Sure she would, yeah. Yeah." Eddie says, making Chimney excited. 

"Ah, you know, you really shouldn't get his hopes up like that. No offense, Chim." Buck says.
