JAMES POV
I arrive at the gym at 3.15 and make my way inside.
"Hi, welcome to Rock" a tall slim blonde greets me "How can I be of service?" she continues with a flirty smile.
"I'm here to meet someone, her class finishes at 3.30"
"Oh" her smiles fades at the mention of 'her' "well that will be the class in Studio 101, if you go up to our juice bar on the second floor, you can observe the class and you'll know when your girlfriend finishes"
"Thanks" I smile at her not correcting the girlfriend comment. I'm single but over the past few months casual hook ups are loosing their appeal. Maybe it's because everyone around me is part of a couple; Kendall, Logan, Carlos and Mama Knight. I'm the only single one apart from Katie and at 18, she wouldn't be worrying about settling down. Neither was I at her age but now, now I'd really like someone to share my life with.
"Hi, what can I get you" the blonde at the juice bar asks me. She could have been the receptionists sister.
"I'll have a" I quickly glance at the menu "regular Cherry Berrie Blast, please"
"Ok, that will be $4.95" she says.
I noticed a LED display scrolling across the bottom of the menu board. "What's that?" I ask her as she hands me my juice.
"That's the gym sound track" she tells me "it tells you, the song playing in each studio, in here and in the foyer"
"That's clever" I take my juice "Thanks"
I make my way to a sofa near the windows which over look the studios. The only one that is in use and that's all female class. So it must be Katie's, then I notice the poles. I look at the LED display and see the track 'Scream - Timberland'. That can't be right. Little Katie Knight can't be in this class. Then I spot her, wearing fitted black tank and black shorts, her hair tied back in a bun. She is hanging up side down by her legs on a pole. OH WOW, drink your drink and think about something else I say to myself. I look at her again and she has spun back the right way around. REALLY WOW! Oh God James get it together and stop singing "scream at the top of your lungs if your body's feeling mine" Drink your drink and ignore the class. Play a game on your phone or something. I take my phone from my back pocket and notice the time, her class should be finished in a couple of minutes. I send her a text telling her I'm in the juice bar waiting for her. I start playing Battle Blast.
"Ahem" I hear a cough about ten minutes later.
I look up to see her standing there, her hair still damp from the shower and she's dressed in a check shirt, cutoffs and vans.
"Hey Katie" I smile at her and put my phone away "Ready to go?"
"Just want to grab a bottle of water and I'm all set"
She pays for her water and we make our way downstairs, as we reach the foyer I hand her my keys.
"What are these?" she asks looking at me questioningly.
"Keys of my truck" I reply.
"Why?"
"You are driving us home"
"Me!" she squeals with delight "really James, you are letting me drive your truck, your pride and joy, that's like letting someone use your lucky comb"
"Do you not want to drive it?"
"Oh, I want to drive it"
"Well then"
"Woo Hoo, thanks Jamie" she hugs me and the smell of apple from her hair fills my senses.
"My pleasure"
"Come on, come on, let's go" she says as she grabs my hand.
