Chapter 7

I woke up the next morning and put my jogging clothes on. Today I felt like I was ready to step it up and start jogging completely. I grabbed my IPod, put my hair in a pony tail and headed downstairs. I decided to go to a nearby  jog park this time. I was stretching and then started on my laps around the track. As I was approaching my 2nd lap, with my earphones blaring Matisyahu, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Jensen. I smiled surprised and then pulled my earphones off.

Hey Jensen, I said out of breath as I still kept jogging. “Mind if I jog with you?” Sure, I responded. When I was approaching 3 miles I told him that I was done. He said “Ok, I am done too then.” Oh wait I said, don’t end on my account. “Really, it’s ok, I am fine.”

He joined me on the ground and stretched with me. I never had taken notice to him before. I mean sure he was cute, but I never had really paid attention to any of my brothers friends until now. He had a 5 o’clock shadow, dark shaved hair, and blue eyes. That 5 o’clock shadow made him look a little older, real sexy not shaggy.

So what are you doing here?  “I should ask you that, he said? I always come here.”  I guess you are right, this is my first time. I felt like mixing things up. We talked about my new workout regimen and I learned that he was into working out every day. I loved that about him since that was my new thing.

I was really finding him attractive and couldn’t believe that I had never noticed him before. He told me he was going to Cal State in the Fall. My heart kind of sunk. What the hell is wrong with me? This is the first time I had ever spoken to him. What should I care?

“I am here almost every morning he said, you should come jog with me.” I smiled and said, I would love too.  With that we said our good byes. When I came home I grabbed a Gatorade and a granola bar. I finished it quickly and went on to do my ab routine. When I finished I pulled up my shirt, a ritual I did every day after my sets to see my progress. I loved what I saw. I could really start to see toning in my stomach. I was not near my 6 pack goal but I could see inches off my stomach and the way my clothes fit me was proof.

I met Bailey later that afternoon at the mall. I was ready to buy lots of new clothes to reflect my physical transformation. Bailey picked every bit out. I called her my stylist and she smiled and loved every bit of it. She knew that she was good at that.

I filled her in on my outburst with Caleb and then out of nowhere I said, what’s your take on Jensen? “Jensen,” she practically shrieked. She could be so dramatic, but that was Bailey. “That’s out of left field she said. He is really hot.” How come I never noticed I said? “Ugh I dunno Cali. All your brothers friends are hot. You are just transforming into such a hot woman, wink, wink  that your hormones are going nuts and you have finally noticed." I laughed at her, well, I jogged with Jensen today, and for the first time I noticed his hotness. Me like, I said, laughing.

I explained my morning to her and she just shook her head. “Cali, you are muy caliente this summer honey. Ivan, Caleb and now Jensen.” Well, hardly, just Ivan. I think. Speaking of Ivan I said, I don’t know. “What do you mean she said?” I don’t know, I just think he is the type of guy that always needs to be with someone. I am not looking for that I think. He might be clingy. I like him enough, but he does not challenge me. I may be judging him a little too soon, but I dunno I just have this feeling. The truth was I think I was looking for excuses to not like him. I couldn’t keep my mind off Caleb, but now oddly enough I felt also drawn to Jensen. What was happening to me?

I paid for some clothes and looked at Bailey and said let’s have a party tomorrow. I need to show off these clothes somehow. Lol! Caleb and Skylar are not the only ones that can throw a bash. That sounds awesome she said. Come on lets go buy booze. We used our fake I.D.’s and about an hour later we walked into the house with tons of booze. What’s going on here little sis? We are having a party tomorrow so call all your man whores. We already have about 2o confirmed girls. “Oh really,” Caleb piped in, with his signature sexy smirk? Really I said.
