Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Chapter 12

ALEC

At 4:50 o'clock i woke up and changed into my running gear and at 5 o'clock  i got out of the house to see Lauren in a dri fit tank top and yoga pants.

"Good morning,beautiful." I called out.

"Not now,alec." She mumbles.

I chuckled "not a morning person?"

"Not one bit." She says as she warmed up.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"For a run." She says.

"Perfect, i'm going for a run too." I said.

"But i'm going to stop at the mini mart ." She said.

"It's okay." I said.

"You really want to run with me?" She asked.

I nod, "why not?"

"No reason. I gotta say though, that i've been in the track team in my last school." She says as she shakes her head and hands.

"That explains how fast you were when you ran to the taxi cab."

"You saw that?"

I nod my head, "where did they go?"

"My sister went back to new york." She says, "you ready?"

"Yeah." I said.

"Go." She said as she sprinted to a run.

That girl is fast, i ran and kept up with her. "So,slow." She said pretending to be annoyed.

I rolled my eyes, "i'm not slow you're just fast."

She bursted out laughing, her laugh was music to my ears. "Whatever you say." She says.

She ran ahead of me, i tried to keep up but i couldn't. She was in front of the mini mart wiping her sweat, when i got there she took off something in her ankles.

"What's that?"

"Weights."

"What!? You ran faster than me with weights on."

"I train with these on so if i ran without these i'd be much faster." She said.

"How heavy are these?"

"5 lbs."

"Really? Can i try it on?"

"Sure." She says as she stretched, i put it on my ankle.

"It's alright." I say. It doesn't feel too heavy.

I opened the door for her, "let me guess, full cream milk?"

She chuckled, "why alec, you remembered."

"Is there a full cream milk for the beautiful lady over there?"

"Yes,sir." The cashier said.

I went to the dairy part of the the mart and saw Lauren got a skim milk in hand. "I thought you don't like skim milk?"

"I'm making something with it." She said.

"How many full cream?"

"2 or 3." She replied.

I got 3 full cream milk and went to the counter. She soon followed with 3 skim milks in hand. When she payed for it, we jogged back to her house.

I sat on the stool of their counter, "that was a nice run." I said.

"Thanks for helping me with these." She said.

I looked at my clock it was now 5:50am, "Lauren, i gotta go i have practice. I don't think i have time to even eat." I said. I ran to my house and into my hummer, i drove to school and was on time for practice.
