My Love For Her (StudxFem)

Part 18: "Oh No"

"Hey what are you doing here" I say greeting him with a hug.

"Well I knew you were coming here, and I wanted to see you...friend" he smiles.

"Aww. Micheal. Well atleast you try to spend time with me"

"What makes you say that"

"Nothing...its personal"

"Probably Nelson" he smirks.

"Probably"

"Why do you come to this gym?"

"Because it's closer to home, just a 10 minute bus ride"

"You gotta come to my gym one day"

"Sure. But I'm a need a ride" I wink at him.

He blushed. "You're really a charmer, huh?"

"I've been told" I lied. ....I was never told that, but it sounded like the right thing to say at the moment.

"So what do you like to do?" he looks around the gym.

"I'm a treadmill and bike person"

"Yes I'm a treadmill fan myself but I'm into lifting now...I'm really getting good at it, I feel like"

"Show me" I say rubbing his arm.

We both head over towards the weights, where I watched him put 30lb weights on to both ends of the pole.

"Damn, you can lift 60lbs?"

"Yeah those are nothing" he says confidently, laying down under the pole.

"Mm. Alright let's see what you can do bad ass" I cheer him on.

He laughs, placing both hands on the pole, lifting it up and down. His lifting was steady, not even a strugle occurred to him.

"Your starting to turn a little red there bad ass" I teased.

"I'm--.....fine" he breathes heavily, still lifting at a steady pace.

A few seconds later he stops and place the pole back on it's hooks. Sitting up, he starts panting while sweat dripped down from his hair. What a man😍💗

"I'm impressed bad ass" I smile.

He smiles. "Thanks...woo that was a workout"

"I'm a head over to the treadmills okay, join me when you cool down" I finger his hair before walking away. 
....Time to do my own routine.

I step on to the treadmill, increasing the angle up as I run, glancing up at the TV. "Breaking New!"  I hear as the previously show is interrupted.

"Great now I can cry as I work out, Fabulous" I say out loud, seeing an older guy next to me, laugh at my comment.

"We have an update on the big tropical storm that is attacking the coast of Florida..." they reported.

Oh shit! My eyes widen. Are they having a hurricane, oh my god and they're so close to ocean too, I panicked to myself.

"The city's that are in its direct path are the following. Key West, The Bahamas, Miami....--"

My breath shortened hearing Miami. I looked up again, now they were showing the storm's prediction and its overall size. I couldn't even see the name Miami because of all the rotation indicators on top of it. I  really began to panicked and worry. But then Micheal came over, seeing me bent over the treadmill.

"You tired already?" He rubs my back.

I lift up turning my face to him, showing him it was more than me being tired.

"Hey. Woah. What's wrong?"

I pointed to the TV.

"Oh, at least we're not near any big bodies of water" he laughs trying to make me feel better I guess.

I gave him a serious look, then turned to the TV to see what was being said now.

"Now we can see what's happening in Miami now. Bob?" The lady said, but then the cut to a guy in a rainy and windy area near Miami beach.

"Hi yes, if you can see I am soaked from head to toe. The winds here are really picking up and they're just going to become stronger as the storm comes. Now look at the waves.
(they pan to the ocean near by)
Now that's a big problem, there is definitely going to be alot of flooding. But I just got word that it's time to wrap up because it's too dangerous...
(a tree falls suddenly in the back)
Oh my! I gotta get to safety, back to you Anne" Bob says.

I put my hands over my eyes, crying. I was thinking the worst, alot of people die from hurricanes every year. I don't know what I would if...😢

"I'm sorry for saying that,...do you have family down there?" Micheal asked, rubbing my shoulder.

I don't answer, still sobbing uncontrollably.

"Come on let's go" he helps me up.

We walk out to the parking lot and he helps me into his car. I turn to the window slowly as tears still ran down my cheeks.

I feel him pat my leg. "Tyler, tell me whats going on, it will make you feel better"

I said nothing.

"Didn't you say opening up is the best way.....I promise I won't say something dumb like I did in there, I'm really sorry about that"

"It's ok.......um.....my ex girlfriend lives in...Miami--. And we hate each other now but I'm just scared that anything bad will happen to her. Really scared. I love her...even though she's a heartless piece of shit....I just wouldn't know what to do if she....if...she umm you know... *a tear rolls down my face*  and I wasn't there to hold her" I cry again, now barely catching my breath.

Letting me finish, he hugs me and I cry on his shoulder.

"Why don't you call her" he suggests.

"Right" I say pulling out my phone and dialing her number, because yes....I still had it😒. And It rings. And rings. And rings. But no answer.

"I'm sure she's ok"

"Yeah I hope. But isn't that weird that they're having a storm in December though?"

"Yeah it's not even hurricane season but the earth works in mysterious ways"

I look over at him. "Thanks for being a good listener"

"Your my friend, why wouldn't I be"

We smile. "You wanna go home ? he asked.

"Yeah, I need my cat right now" I laugh

He laughs too and pulls off.

             *15 minutes later*🕓

He pulls up to the sidewalk in front of my house. We get out and lean together on his car.

"Well this is me" I say.

"Looks cozy" He smiles.

I pull him into a hug, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Thank you" I say in his ear.

"Anytime" he replies.

I smile, pulling his face down to mine. I stare up at his lips and then at him. He leans in and I do the same, kissing one another for the first time. He grabbed my waist and I grabbed his face, pecking him softly before letting go.

"There's more where that came from but later" I smile walking away.

"Ha. Can't wait but goodnight Tyler"

"Goodnight Micheal" I blow a kiss his way.
