For the past three days, I have been thinking about the hot dude, Ricardo. That night was unexpected. I'm really surprised but I need to a get hold myself.
I got down from my bed lazily, took my protein bars and drove to the gym. I sat in my car trying to ward away the thoughts of Ricardo in my head, but it wasn't working.
I tried hitting my head on my steering wheel, that just caused more pain. I gave up.
I can't get him outta my mind.
I got outta my car and entered the gym. I gave the guy behind the counter my membership card and headed to the treadmill for starters.
After working out for some time, I went to my bag to get water and I ran into Lorenzo. I quickly checked if his friend came with him, but he did not, that put a frown on my face.
It's not like I wanted to see him.
"Hi Leona!" Lorenzo said, "It's nice seeing you here." drawing my attention from Ricardo.
"Yeah, it is. It's funny how we keep running into each other at odd hours of the night." I said.
He smiled.
His smile reminded me of Ricardo... that night he chuckled but he denied it.
"I didn't expect a busy lady like you to have time for things like this." Lorenzo teased.
"I am a busy lady but sometimes I take out time for myself." I said joining him on the bench facing the direction of the men's gym.
I was admiring the place when someone caught my attention.
Lorenzo disrupted my view. "How often do you come?" he asked.
I ignored him 'cause I was trying to convince myself that the person I'm looking at is not the one I've been thinking of.
I'm sure that the person I'm staring at is not just one random hot dude, but I've been trying to get off my mind.
I couldn't get my eyes off his perfectly made abs that glistened due to the sweat running through it.
His Calvin Klein joggers hung loosely around his waist exposing the bands of his Calvin Klein boxers.
Dang it girl! He looks too sexy to be human! I'm mentally drooling.
His biceps moved sexily as he lifted the dumbbell. I felt someone tap me.
"Leona, hello? I can see you're enthralled." Lorenzo snapped me out of my trance.
No, I can let him find out I was just ogling his friend.
"I'm not enthralled by him; I'm just appreciating God's creation." I stated.
He smirked, "I didn't say you were enthralled by him, I just said enthralled." and said.
"You're so pesky." I sneered slightly shoving his shoulder.
He gave me a devious smile.
Ricardo joined us later and didn't utter a word till Lorenzo left to receive a call.
"So, what brings you here at this time of the night?" He asked.
"What would I be doing in a gym besides working out?" I asked not waiting for a reply though.
He ran his hand through his hair. "You should probably head home now. Did you drive?"
He looks kinda cute when he's worried.
"I drove but you wouldn't mind walking me to the parking lot. Since we're friends, I guess you can at least walk me to my car... That's what friends do." I said smiling at him.
He agreed. We walked in silence to the parking lot. I saw Lorenzo leaning on a black Bugatti.
The expensive car I hit that day.
I told them goodbye and drove off.
I didn't really plan for all this to happen, it just did. I was trying to get him out of my head, but I just had to run into him.
It wasn't fun but I enjoyed his company though we didn't talk for long. I like him better when he talks.
