"So you slept with Ashley, hot. Plus you have the unachievable Hayley Rhys wanting you."
"Double hot." Dan chimed in.
"So what you're telling me is that you're way cooler than I was three year ago." Freddy shook his head in confusion."But I'm way hotter."
"Matter of opinion mate. When it comes to girls it's not just looks if you're a horrible person your suddenly unattractive."
"Yeah like that determines whether someone's bang-able."
"It does in girls world." I clarified.
"So what's that got to do with me?" Freddy interjected
"My boy Ryan is trying to say your a dick. Therefore, unattractive."
"Not true, I had girls, a lot of girls, just never serious ones. You know wifey material."
"Yep you and Dan are definitely brothers." They smiled at each other.
"Carmichael." They said in unison, I laughed.
"Hey Ryan get off the pussy rowing machine and come lift."
"Pussy machine? It works your Erector Spinae, Wrist Extensors and Flexors, Triceps, Biceps, Deltoids, Pectoralis Major, Rectus Abdominus, Internal and External Obliques, Quadriceps, and Hamstrings. You probably can't even spell half of those."
"Oh." Dan hoped on the machine. "This works."
"So, little man." Freddy pointed to me and hopped off the biking machine.
"How much do you bench press?"
"90kg"
"Good that's what I'm talking about."
"I'll take 30kg off of mine."
"You do 120?"
"Yeah, I'm three years older than you. Three years and I only bench press 30kg more. Here's me thinking I was superman." I smiled
"Maybe you are, but I'm no mere mortal." I pointed to my stomach, and took off my top. "Okay let's do this." Freddy was still smiling.
"You know you're the only friend of Dan's I actually like."
"You here that Dan all your other friends are assholes."
"And your not?" He came onto the machine next to me following the same procedure.
"How much do you bench press?" I smiled knowingly.
"80kg" I smiled, light weight.
*******
"Done." Freddy's timer went off and he jumped off the treadmill.. We'd been lifting for 10 minutes straight. Well every 2 minutes a 15 second break. Still, my arms felt like spaghetti. I could hardly move them, lifting them up felt like I was carrying tonnes. We hit the showers soon after and made our way out. It wasn't long before we were out the door and heading home. Freddy dropped me off at my house and I watched Dan attempt to sneak him back into The Carmichael residence.
'Good luck with that' I thought and stepped into my house. I heard high pitch giggling coming from upstairs. I put my bag down by the door and kicked off my shoes. Locking the door, I quickly ran to the kitchen and picked up a knife. Intruders didn't normally giggle, but if this was another one of Emily's good for nothing friends again I'd kill him.
I climbed up the stairs missing step 3,7 and 9-they creaked.
My room.
Quiet talking followed the laughing. My hand gripped my door knob and I could hear more than one voice now. They were having a conversation, something about fists and mouths. There were giggles again.
The knife was in my right hand and I swung open the door with my left.
What the fuck.
Emily lay on the bed with popcorn in between her and someone else. I followed the long legs and curvy waist.
Hayley.
