Wendy left early to go to work. Today is the first day that I have to spend alone since I got released. I can't lie, I wish I could have my girl around every day. I miss her presence even if it's only been a few hours.
It's 10 a.m. when I bite into an apple. I've decided to spend the next hours working out this morning. The gym is close to the apartment, so I can just walk there.
After getting to my destination, I put my belongings in a locker and head to the bodybuilding area. I start with a warm-up.
As I'm into my session, a girl waves at me. I take off my AirPods.
"What did you say ?"
"You left your bottle of water and towel over there."
"Thanks. I completely forgot."
"It's fine. You new here right ?"
"Yea I just moved in the city with my girlfriend."
"Oh nice. Where is she ?"
"At work. She's into marketing. What about you ?"
"I work here as a personal coach."
"That's coo. I'm sorry, I didn't even introduce myself. I'm Randy." I extend my hand.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Caylee." We shake hands. "Well I have to go but I guess I'll see around soon." She smiles and leaves.
I just finish my workout session and head to the locker.
...
After a hot shower, I decide to take a walk around the neighborhood to get familiar with the area. I like to know my surroundings, especially since Wendy's been living here alone for a few months. I gotta catch up.
I spot a group of men hanging out near the grocery shop and decide to go introduce myself.
"Ayo man wassup ?"
"Wassup foo you good ?"
We dap up.
"What y'all doing here ?"
"We're shooting a video for me. I'm TC Cobra, rapper from this city, borned and raised here."
"That's dope bro I'm a rapper too. They call me Prince D but my real name Randy."
"Aight D. I fuck with yo vibe. You should come to the studio with us."
We exchange numbers.
"Hit me up whenever."
"Aight bro see ya."
I keep on with my little walk for a hour before finally going back home. Wendy is taking a shower. I slump on the sofa and turn on the TV. I love when nothing special happens. I love that I can finally spend a normal day. My mind is at peace.
After a few moments, my girl walks into the room. She's wearing one of my hoodies with some grey leggings, which emphasizes her curves. She lets herself fall in my arms. We hug for a long moment.
"How was work bae ?"
"It was good."
"What happened ?"
"Nothing special. It was a normal day. But I'm tired."
"I see that, young lady. You hungry ?"
"Yes... Can we order sum ?"
"What do you mean ? You don't ask me to cook ?"
"Can you even do that ?" She rolls her eyes playfully. "I wanna eat some pizza with a lot of cheese."
