Micah took another sip of coffee as she typed away at another article. The day had been dragging and all she wanted to do was get to the gym and see the beautiful Samoan that had been plaguing her thoughts all day. She was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't even hear Nicole come in her office.

"Micah!"

She immediately snapped out of her trance and turned to see Nicole standing there. "Oh hey."

"You ready to go?"

"Yeah let me finish editing this and I'll be ready to go. Thank goodness today is only a half day because I'm totally not focused."

Nicole smirked at her friend. "Focused on a certain trainer, huh?"

"It's possible," she replied as she continued to type away.

"Will you hurry up, woman? I'm hungry."

"Will you hold on? I've just got to send it and then we can go you impatient whore."

"That's not very nice. I'm too classy for that."

"Sent. Let's get out of here, tramp."

"Hey! That's not nice either!"

Micah was looking over her menu when Nicole decided to speak up again.

"So what are your plans for tonight?"

"I don't have any. Just planned on watching some TV and relaxing. Why?"

"I want you to come out to JT's with Dean and I tonight."

"And be the third wheel? No thanks."

"Roman is coming," smirking when she say Micah's face light up with interest.

"Is he now? Is this you and Dean's doing?"

"You know it."

"I'll come. It will be nice to see him in a different setting than the gym."

"It will. And you guys can talk and get to know each other."

"Yes because I'm sure he really wants to get to know me, Nicole."

"He does. I don't know why you can't see that?"

"Look at him Nicole! What's he want with someone like me? "

"Why wouldn't he? Look, Micah, you're so beautiful and I wish you'd realize that."

"Do you know how badly I want to believe that? Do you know how many times I stare in the mirror and just wish I could believe I was beautiful?"

"Maybe you can if you had the right person telling you that. Roman is one of the nicest guys and he'd definitely be up for the challenge. I'm telling you he likes you."

"Something else I want to believe but just can't find it in me to do so. Also, how do you know he likes me?"

"I just know. Plus Dean told me he said so," she answered honestly; shrugging her shoulders slightly.

Roman was sitting in his office going over a diet plan for Micah as well as some things for their session later. He let out a growl of frustration at the thought of her. The fact that she thought she needed to lose weight was ridiculous and the fact that she didn't think she was beautiful the way she was pissed him off. She was perfection and it made him sick that she felt anything but.

When Micah entered the gym she saw Roman in his office and unaware of her arrival. She took the time to just take in the beauty of him. His hair was down, which she liked a lot. He had such defined facial features and she loved that. His chin, his chiseled jaw; he was pure perfection. When she saw him lick his lips, she couldn't fight the chill that went down her spine.

Micah decided to stop staring and approached his office, knocking on his door slightly.

"Hey Roman."

He sent her a heartwarming smile. "Hey Micah. Have a seat."

She sat down in front of his desk and took in his office. She noticed he had a lot of pictures of his family and it warmed her heart. She was big on family and the fact that he was too made her like him more.

"So I have come up with a diet plan because I knew that was something you wanted. Here are the calories you should take in a day and the calories you should burn a day," he informed as he showed her the numbers on the paper in front of her. " Do you have any questions for me?"

"No ice cream for a while, huh?"

He couldn't fight the laugh that escaped him. "Not everyday but you can treat yourself every so often. Don't want you to be miserable."

"I can live with this. Who needs cookies and cream ice cream everyday anyway?"

"Oh I'd eat it everyday if possible."

"Wouldn't take you for an cookies and cream type of guy," she teased."

"Oh I'm full of surprises," he retorted, sending her a smirk. That damn smirk was going to be the death of her. She was pretty sure she was slightly blushing at this point too.

"You ready to get started?" he asked, ending their moment.

"Ready as I'll ever be," she murmured as she followed him to the workout area.

"Nicole, I'm not wearing this damn skirt! Micah exclaimed as she looked at herself in the mirror.

"You want to impress him don't you? Wear the damn skirt. Wear the outfit I picked out, Woman."

" I look like I'm trying too hard. Can't I just wear some jeans?"

"I swear to god, Micah! Wear it. He won't know what hit him. You'll look great. Now go get ready and I'll see you in a bit."

Micah let out a defeated sigh as Nicole hugged her and left her apartment.

She looked at herself in the mirror for the umpteenth time to make sure she looked okay. She wore a black mini skirt with a white cami and a black fitted leather jacket over it. She usually never got this worked up over how she looked but the knowledge of Roman being there made her a nervous wreck. She eventually finished getting ready and headed to JT's to meet up with everyone.

When Micah walked into the bar she immediately spotted Dean and Nicole. She flicked off Nicole when she saw her smirking at her.

"Nice to see you listened to me."

"I wouldn't have heard the end of it if I hadn't so here I am."

"You look good Sunshine."

"Oh I must be if you're handing out compliments, Ambrose."

"Enjoy it because we all know they're rare. Roman is gonna flip his shit when he sees you."

"If you say so."

"You seriously don't give yourself enough credit, Sweetcheeks."

She shook her head at him as she turned her attention to Nicole. They talked for a bit before she heard Dean greet Roman. Micah turned around to see him and it was truly not fair how beautiful this man was. His hair was pulled back and he had dark washed jeans and a polo shirt on. He looked incredibly sexy. She could have sworn she saw him look her up and down but dismissed the thought. He smiled at her and wrapped an arm around her bringing her in for a hug.

"You look amazing Micah."

"Thank you. You look great yourself."

He finally let go of her and Micah hated the loss of warmth as he greeted Nicole. They made their way to a booth off in the corner. Nicole and Dean sat next to each other as she got as Micah got as comfortable as she could next to Roman. Nicole was talking to Micah and Roman couldn't help but letting his gaze roam over her again. Dean kicking him under the table brought him out of his reverie. Dean laughed as Roman glared at him.

"Do y'all want some drinks?" Nicole asked getting everyone's attention. Micah and Roman went pull out money to pay for their drinks when Nicole stopped them. "This round is on us."

"It is?" Dean replied as he gave his girlfriend a shocked look.

"Yes. Now lets go," leaving Micah and Roman to themselves.

Roman laughed at his friends as they left before turning his attention to Micah.

"You really do look great tonight."

She felt the heat rise to her cheeks immediately. "Thank you." She was trying to not just stare at him, which she knew she could all day. "I hope you're not gonna judge me for the beers I may have tonight."

"I'm definitely not here to judge you or keep tabs on what you eat or drink while we're out. I'm here to hangout with my friends and get to know a new one," he replied honestly as he looked her in the eye.

She held his gaze until she heard Dean and Nicole return with their drinks.

"Here's your drinks," she announced.

"Thanks."

Micah took a sip of her beer as Nicole and Dean sat down across from them. The foursome talk a bit before Nicole and Dean got up to leave.

"Where are y'all going?" Roman asked before taking another sip of his beer.

"Umm, we need to go talk," Dean unconvincingly replied. "We'll be back."

Micah laughed partially because it was so obvious that they were ditching them and the other out of nervousness of being alone with Roman in a setting that wasn't the gym.

"I think those assholes just ditched us," she laughed

"I think they did," he replied.

Micah leaned back in her seat before turning her attention to Roman.

"So, Roman, what made you want to be a personal trainer?"

"Well I love being active and healthy and I would rather teach people to do the same rather than sit behind a desk all day. I love helping people change their lives for the better."

Micah loved the passion in his voice when he talked about why he became a trainer. After Roman insisted on buying her a drink, they talked about everything from family to sports. They finally decided to leave and once they made their way outside a familiar voice spoke up behind them.

"Micah is that you?"

Roman noticed that she visibly tensed up and stared at the man who Micah obviously didn't want to see. She turned and saw him and decided to put up her best front. Of course he would be the one to ruin her good night.

"Scott."

"It's nice to see you, Micah. Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?"

"Roman, this is my ex, Scott."
