You're Banging My Bedroom Wall

IV. On the Run

The next morning Felicity quickly jotted a note on the little dry erase board on Roy's refrigerator telling them where she had gone and slipped back into her apartment. She quickly changed into her running clothes, pulled her hair up into a ponytail and after clipping her iPod on, exited her apartment and got on the elevator.

Just as the doors were about to shut, she heard someone call out, "Hey wait! Hold the door." Felicity quickly stuck her hand out and a man slipped through the doors and stepped in next to her.

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and shot her a quick smile. "Thanks."

"No problem," she stammered back, feeling her cheeks redden. Felicity gave him what she hoped passed for a smile and quickly looked away.

The man was hot. He was the most attractive man Felicity had ever seen her entire life and she had seen her fair share of men when she used to live in Vegas with her mom.

Felicity peaked at him from the corner of her eyes and subtly checked him out.

He had short cropped blond hair and the bluest eyes she had ever seen. His lips were pink and soft and Felicity wondered what it would be like to kiss them. Next her eyes were drawn to the stubble on his face and she imagined what it would feel like to have the rough, coarse hair rubbing against the soft, sensitive skin of her thighs.

A moan slipped through her lips at the thought. It must have been louder than she thought because she suddenly found curious, but shocked, blue eyes staring at her.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Felicity met his gaze, cheeks blazing, and quickly nodded her head. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine," she said, suddenly hyperaware of how close they were standing next to each other in the elevator.

The doors conveniently opened just then and Felicity bolted.

Once she rounded the corner from her building Felicity slipped her earbuds on and pressed play to start her playlist. She stood there for a beat longer to gather her bearings and after a moment she began her morning run.

The pounding of her feet against the pavement matched the pulsing beats of the music. It wasn't long before her encounter in the elevator was forgotten and the only thing Felicity was focused on was putting one foot in front of the other and following the now familiar path that she took every morning.

After some time she suddenly became aware of someone running next to her. Felicity turned to look at her side and faltered. She caught and righted herself at the last second before she went sprawling across the pavement.

It was the guy from the elevator!

Felicity faced forward again and picked up her pace, but he was right there with her stride for stride. It was like that for the rest of her run. He stayed with her the entire time. Twice Felicity tried to lose him in the park but he somehow found her. Both times the guy just chuckled and shook his head, saying nothing.

Half an hour later they had gotten back to their building and were walking side by side. Felicity had no idea how to shake the guy. She was still so embarrassed that he had heard her moan.

As they were walking up the stairs, Felicity planned to bolt for the stairs once they got inside and were waiting for the elevator.

But it seemed like she wouldn't have to do that.

There was a honk from a car parked against the curb and the guy turned to look. Felicity saw her chance and ran inside.

Roy opened the door for her after she knocked. Felicity immediately went into the kitchen and sat down at the little table next to Sara, accepting the steaming cup of coffee that was pushed toward her.

Sara looked at her over her own mug of coffee. "Did you enjoy your run?"
