Adam wakes up feeling refreshed, he puts on some shorts and a muscle shirt and walks to the bathroom to do his morning routine. After he finishes he races downstairs and grabs a bagel.
"Adam, where's the fire?" Mama Torres calls out to Adam as she descends the stairs.
"Sorry Mom I have to go fix something with someone today," he kisses his mom on the cheek. "I'm borrowing the car for a little bit," he doesn't wait for her response he just gets the keys off the hook and heads out the door.
Adam parks his car in the free public parking lot and walks down to the beach. If he remembers correctly Becky is on duty at tower number three. He walks up to the tower that looks like a mini house and looks up and he can't see Becky from where he is standing. She must be sitting inside the tower's room. He walks up the ramp that leads up into the tower. He peeks in and he can see her sitting on a chair looking out into the ocean, he knocks on the wooden frame, "Hey Becks."
She looks at him in surprise, after their phone conversation yesterday she was not expecting to see him again, "Adam, what are you doing here?" Seeing him is making her decision not to be with him a little harder. His blue eyes seem to draw her in and make her heart flutter, making it hard to think clearly and rationally.
"I had to see you and prove to you that I have changed, all I'm asking for is one date to show you who I really am," he takes a step closer to her.
"I don't know," she looks at him unsure, half of her wants to say yes and half of her wants to say no.
"Before you answer, I just want you to know I am prepared to ask you out every day until you say yes," Adam tells her with a determined look on his face and in his eyes. He can tell she is still not sure about him, "what if I promise you an amazing romantic date?"
"Well since you put it that way, what kind of girl can resist romance?" she looks at Adam and smiles.
"So, is that a yes?" he asks her hopefully.
"One date and one date only and it better be as romantic as you say it will be," she pushes him gently towards the ramp. "Now go because I have to get back to watching the swimmers in the water."
Adam gets an idea, "how about I pick you up after work, I can go to the gym and work out for a bit until you're done."
She thinks about it for a little bit, "Okay sounds like a plan. What gym did you say you go to?" She wants to know because she has a plan, a way to test how much Adam has changed.
"Oh, it's the 24 Hour Fitness, you know the one right around the corner?" he backs away down the ramp still facing her.
"Yeah, I know the one you're talking about. I'll be off in two hours, did you still want to pick me up?"
"Yeah, that gives me plenty of time to get in a good workout," he waves goodbye and walks down the ramp and to his car.
When Adam is out of sight Becky turns on her phone and calls one of her best friends, a friend who owes her a huge favor.
"Hello," says the voice on the other end of the call.
"Hey Em, I need to ask you a huge favor that needs to be done right now, can you help me?" Becky doesn't know who else she can ask if Emily says she can't do the favor right now.
"Sure I can do it, I'm not busy today," Emily listens as Becky tells her what the favor is and she still can't believe people think Becky is this perfect innocent Christian girl. "Wow Becky, you know if it were anybody else asking me I would automatically say no, but since it's you and you are my bestie I'll do it. As a matter of fact I'm already on my way." Emily ends the call and changes into more appropriate clothes and heads out the door.

Adam walks to the locker room feeling great after the amazing workout he just had, but throughout his workout there was a girl who followed him everywhere. She even made the excuse she needed a spotter for the squat machine, in which she used Adam's proximity to rub her ass against his crotch. After this incident he does everything to distance himself from this free love type of girl.
Now here he is almost to the freedom of the men's' locker room and from around the corner the same mysterious girl comes towards him. He groans internally, "hey sexy, you have been avoiding me." She walks closer to him and places her hand on his chest and starts drawing shapes with the tip of her index finger. She forcefully grabs his shirt and crashes their lips together and out of instinct Adam kisses her back. The mystery girl breaks from the kisses and drags Adam into the locker room and pushes him against one of the walls. She brings their lips together again and Adam flips their position, the mystery girl jumps up and wraps her legs around Adam's waist.
Adam can feel himself getting hard and he hears the girl moan in his ear. The moan jolts him out of whatever trance this girl has him under and he drops her down gently. "Look you're a very pretty girl, but I can't do this. Maybe the old me would have but I'm not that boy anymore."
"Let me guys, you have a girlfriend?"
"No, but there is a girl that I'm hoping will be my girlfriend. She's beautiful and amazing," Adam gets this dopey look on his face.
"Sucks for me that you are actually a decent guy, this could have been amazing," she kisses his cheek and walks out of the locker room.
Adam walks over to one of the benches and sits down trying to calm himself down. He collects his things from his locker and puts them in his gym bag not bothering to take a shower or even change into his street clothes. He just wants to get out and into his car to go pick up Becky from the beach. After he puts all his things in his bag, he rushes out the locker room door and goes straight to his car without looking or speaking to anybody. He's a little disappointed in himself, he almost lost control and he almost gave into temptation. He thought that resisting temptation would be a cake walk and when he had temptation right in front of him he realized it is easier said than done and this is what has shaken him to his core. He is now starting to doubt himself and his will power to say no to a pretty girl.
Maybe fighting my instincts is a waste of time? What if I get Becky to be mine and a girl throws herself at me again, will I have the strength to push her away? If I was already dating Becky, I would have cheated on her with that girl because I let her kiss me and I kissed her back. I guess one positive thing is that I didn't go through with having sex with the girl, I could have but I didn't. That has to be something right? Maybe I have changed a lot more than I think I have, the old me would have went all the way and not have thought twice about who it would have hurt. Adam puts the key in the ignition and smiles to himself, he now believes he can be the guy Becky needs him to be. He starts up the car and drives away feeling a lot better about his chances of resisting any temptation that is going to be thrown his ways.
What Adam doesn't see is the mystery girl watching him drive away and taking out her cell phone to call a certain strawberry blonde girl. It rings a couple of times before the line is picked up. "Hello," the mystery girl hears the other girl say into the phone.
"Becky the deed is done," the mystery girl says.
"So Em, how did he do? Did he go for you or has he been telling me the truth that he has changed?" Becky is hoping Adam has passed her test.
"Well he was about to give in after we kissed but her stopped himself because of you. Trust me when I tell you I was trying everything to get his attention and give into me, but in the end he didn't give in because he was thinking about you and what you would think. Becky I say you should give him a chance, he seems like a really good guy and if you don't want to give him a chance I definitely will." Emily hears Becky let out a laugh that expresses her relief that Adam has passed the test that she has set up.
"Thanks Em, I will give him a chance. I really do like him a lot," she hangs up the phone after both girls say their goodbyes. Becky looks back out towards the ocean and now can't wait to see Adam, but now she has a decision to make. She doesn't know if she should tell Adam about her test or if she should keep it to herself. I'll just wait and see if Adam tells me about the gym incident.
She can hear footsteps walking up the ramp, "hey beautiful." Adam says as he reaches her and Becky looks in Adam's eyes and can see that Adam is feeling guilty about kissing Emily.
"Hi, how was the gym?" she wants to see if he is going to tell her anything, he looks like he is having an internal debate.
"The workout was good, but what happened after the workout wasn't so good and I don't think you're going to like it." He pauses and takes a deep breath hoping Becky will believe him when he tells her what happened. "Well there was a girl there that was following me and when I went to the locker room she followed me and we kissed but I promise you I stopped and pushed away because you popped into my mind."
In this moment she decides to tell him about the test, "I know."
"What? What do you mean you know?" Adam is surprised to hear that Becky already knows about the mystery girl.
"I know about what happened because I was the one who set it up. I wanted to test you to see if you did change like you said you did. Please don't be mad," she pleads.
He walks to her and caresses her cheek and smiles at her, "Becks, I'm not mad. I'm kind of glad you did it because now you know I will be true to you." He kisses her cheek, "I'm going to try and get a sun tan while I wait for you, I don't want to get you in trouble for having me up here with you."
"Okay, I should be off in thirty," she watches him walk back down the ramp and to a towel he laid down beforehand. Adam timed fifteen minutes for his front side and fifteen minutes for his back, he is now on his stomach, falling asleep when he hears somebody clear their throat. "I'm all set and ready to go," Becky says cheerfully.
Adam gets up and shakes out the sand from his towel, "Alright, so I guess I'll drop you off at your house so you can get ready and I will pick you up at six thirty for our romantic date."
They begin to walk towards Adam's car, along the way Adam slips his hand into hers and intertwines their fingers. Becky smiles shyly not expecting Adam to make such a bold move, "that sounds perfect, but you have to come in and speak to my parents."
They reach his car and he opens the passenger door for her, "I kind of figured you parents would want to talk to the guy who is taking out their daughter." He closes the door and goes to the driver's side door and gets in, "could you please put your address into the GPS for me."
She quickly inputs her address , "so you're okay with having to be interrogated by my parents?"
"I'm okay with it, to tell you the truth I'm pretty good with parents," the GPS told him to turn left, "thanks Nancy."
"Wait you call your GPS Nancy?" Becky lets out a laugh.
"Yup, the name fits the voice in my opinion," he pulls into Becky's driveway and shuts off the car. He hops out and goes to Becky's door and opens it for her.
He holds out his hand and she gladly takes it, "thank you, you know you're spoiling me and I'm going to get used to you doing these types of things for me."
"Well, don't get used to it I'm only going to be a gentleman until you're mine and then I'm going to be a complete jerk," he walks her to her front door.
"Well in that case thanks for telling me, I guess I'm going to have to prepare for Adam 'the Jerk' Torres," she laughs at her own joke.
"Adam 'the Jerk' Torres, I like it." He looks at his watch, "I better go I need to take a shower."
"I know I can smell you," she covers her nose and starts to cough.
"Oh really, you think I smell," he wraps his arms around her. "Now you smell like me," she wiggles trying to get away, "the more you struggle the more my scent goes on you."
She stops moving and he lets go of her and she smells her shirt and arm, "gross, I smell like your sweat now."
"You know you like how my sweat smells," he laughs and tries to wrap his arms around her again but this time she is too fast and makes her way into her house out of his reach.
"Ha too slow Torres, now go home and take a shower," she steps out of her house and gives Adam a soft kiss on his cheek. "I'll see you later," she walks back into her house.
"See you later," Adam says in response and he makes his way to his car and drives away to his house to get ready for their date.
