"Eve! I'm home" Kelly yelled out to her roommate as she hung her coat onto the coat rack, Tossing her keys onto the small coffee table in the hallway.
"Hello?.. Eve?" She raised her eyebrow at Eve's non-excising response. After a few seconds, Kelly heard a loud banging noise from upstairs, Followed by Eve's muffed giggles.
"I'm here! I'm here!" Eve shouted down the stairs, Kelly couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.
"And so is Mike." Eve smiled as she made her way down the stairs, Wrapping herself in her slik robe. Mike followed behind her, Fixing his zipper.
Kelly raised her eyebrow, Staring at the two of them,
"Sorry to interrupt you guys.. I got off early." She flopped herself back on the couch, Reaching for the remote.
"No worries.. We were just about finished anyway." A small giggle escaped Eve's lips as she sat down next to her beloved roommate.
"I will never understand why you like these things so much.." Eve raised her eyebrow, Referring to the Spanish Soap Operas Kelly had switched the channel to. Kelly just shook her head,
"I've told you before.. I just like them." She shrugged her shoulders as Mike interrupted them,
"Well, I better get going. I have to be up at 6:30 for my flight tomorrow.."
"Aw, Well alright.. I'll see you Friday right?" Eve pouted as Mike made his way over to her,
"Right." He leaned over, Kissing the top of her head.
"Bye Kelly.."
"Bye Michael." Kelly smiled, Waving as he made his way out the door.
Eve sighed.
"Alone for another three days. Gosh, I swear if he wasn't making such good money, I would totally make him quit." Eve nodded, Starring at the Tv screen.
Kelly chuckled softly,
"You know that there are more important things than money.. Right?"
Eve laughed out,
"Oh gosh, Not another one of your "True love" lectures."
Kelly rolled her eyes, "Whatever." She chuckled softly, Focusing her attention on the TV again.
"Oh!," Eve threw her hands in the air in excitement,
"I almost forgot! Mike has this hot single friend at the office.. And, Well since I'm your best friend I got you a date with him." She smiled proudly.
Kelly sighed admittedly after she heard the words "Mike's friend" and "Date."
"That's great and all but I already told you that I'm not looking for a boyfriend.."
"Which is exactly why you need one." Eve smiled.
Kelly knew arguing would get her nowhere with Eve, So she just sighed and shook her head.
Kelly had the next day off and since she was so stressed over work she decided that a trip to the gym would be a great way to blow off some steam.
And boy was she right. Kelly spent 3 hours punching, benching, squatting, lifting and just working her butt off. She was a hot sweaty mess.. But, She didn't feel like it was enough.. She looked over to her right and saw that the bench press was basically screaming her name. She smiled as she made her way over to it, Laying back against the cushion, She toke a deep breathe, Got a grip on the bars and started lifting, What she didn't realize was much weight she was actually attempting to lift, Her arms started to give out.. She squealed as the weight started to come down. Squinting her eyes shut, Kelly then realized that the oh-so heavy weight that was about to crush her became absolutely weightless. She opened her eyes up, Standing over her, There stood a man with a goofy smile on his face. She released a deep breathe, Quickly inhaling another one. The mysterious stranger chuckled as he placed the weight back onto its holder.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, But I'm pretty sure I just saved your life." He smiled, Watching as she sat up, Running her fingers through her long blonde hair.
She looked up at him and nodded,
"Thank you.." She spoke softly, Unable to ignore the hundreds of tattoo's he had covering his arms.
"Whoa, You have way too many tattoos." Realizing how rude that was, Kelly sighed.
"Well that didn't come out how I meant it too.."
He chuckled a bit confused,
"Mmhm?.." He raised his eyebrow in a questioning manner.
"It's just that I've never seen anyone with that many tattoos and I just- It..-I, Ugh." She sighed again, shaking her head.
"Just forget I said anything please."
He couldn't help himself but to smile at her rambling.
"Totally forgotten.. I'm Phillip by the way." He bit down on his lower lip before reaching his hand out to her, Introducing himself. She glanced back up at him with a slightly raised eyebrow,
"Kelly." She grabbed hold of his hand, Shaking it softly.
"Kelly.. That's a pretty name." He leaned over, Placing a gentle kiss on the top of her hand.
She couldn't help but to feel a little like a princess, I mean c'mon.
Before Kelly could say anything in response, Her alarm that she had set on her phone the night before started buzzing in her gym bag. Her face turned red as "Love today" By MIKA rang throughout the whole gym.
"And that.. Would be my phone.." Kelly released his hand and quickly began to dig through her bag. Pulling her phone out she hit the "OK" button, Sighing while her phone read "REMINDER: Date with Mike's friend."
"I've got to go." She stood to her feet, Throwing her gym bag over her shoulder, She looked over at Phillip again,
"Thank you for saving my life, Phillip.. I won't forget it." A small smile appeared on her face as she walked out of the gym.
Phillip chuckled, Scratching the back of his head while looking towards the ground, He glanced up at her as she walked away.
