Luke
Mm, something smells amazing. I rise out of Emma’s bed, grab a pair of underwear, and follow the smell to the kitchen.
“Howdy, gorgeous.”
Emma looks over her shoulder, but never fully turns to face me. She doesn’t need to, I can sense the coy smile she’s wearing along with my shirt from last night, which she drowns in.
“Howdy, handsome. Care for a quick bite?”
She slaps a plate in front of me and sits on her own.
“What did I do to deserve all this? I mean, this looks amazing!” I say while shoving my face full of eggs.
“Is it as amazing as last night?”
“Hm, that’s a tough one.”
“Wow, you’re lucky you’re so cute.” Emma’s smiling as her eyes fall to my exposed abs. “Do you hear that? I think your phone is going off.”
Shit. I run to the bedroom and see Isaac’s face pop up on my screen.
“Yello?”
“Luke, where the hell are you? Did you forget we’re lifting today?”
“Hell, man. I’m sorry. Yeah, I’ll be there in fifteen.”
It’s instances like this that I’m thankful for being a firefighter. All that practice putting gear on quickly has my own clothes on in a snap. Before I can even say I’m sorry for bolting, Emma has my shirt dangling from her fingers, right next to her very nude, very perky breasts.
“Are youtryingto give me a boner before I go to the gym?”
“It wouldn’t botherme.”
I can’t help but chuckle, infatuated with her boldness.
“I really,reallyhope we can do this again.”
Before I know it, I’m walking out her door and walking in the gym’s door. Bells clang as I enter, and I instinctively know where Isaac is - lifting dumbbells in front of the mirror. He hates using anyone else as a spotter, so if I’m not there, he doesn’t even attempt the barbells.
“Sorry I’m late,” I say, smiling.
“You sure as hell don’t look sorry.”
This is one of the reasons we’re best friends, Isaac may be on the straight and narrow in all other aspects of life, but when we’re together he can let go and joke freely.
“Yeah, you’re right, I’m not.”
“Seriously, though- you okay? It’s not like you to forget about gym days.”
“I’m fine. Actually, I’m better than fine. If I’m honest, I was with a girl last night... And this morning.”
“Color me surprised.”
“I don’t know, man. It was…” I pause to grab my own weights after warming up. “It was amazing.”
“Well, who is she? Anyone I know?”
“Do you remember the Chief’s daughter? We saw her in the office.”
