Huh?
Sounds like you’re suffering from memory lapse.
I typed,That’s because when you’re around all I can think of is getting you naked.
She responded,In your dreams.
Dinner?
I’ve eaten.
I mean tomorrow night.
I’m going to London to record.
With Mr Purple?
Yep.
Dinner afterwards? I need to drive in later for a meeting at the hotel.
Maybe.
I’ll call you. Sweet dreams.
You too.
Pleased that the call ended on a civil note, I put away my phone. I fell asleep and dreamt of a red-haired beauty rolling around with me naked by the duck pond. I woke with a raging hard-on.
Although Merivale had its own gym, I preferred Reboot. Plus, the walk getting there put me in a chilled headspace.
When I arrived, Drake was clowning around with a tall, skinny red-haired boy.
Seeing me enter, he nodded.
I stretched my arms and then went over to a set of weights.
Drake strolled over to me. “Hey, do you need a hand with those?” The weights I was about to lift were way beyond my normal range. This new resolve to do better had suddenly translated into pushing myself at the gym.
“Sure,” I said.
“You might want to start with something lighter, though. As a warm-up.” He pointed at the assortment of dumbbells on a shelf.
“Why don’t you take me through the course, like the other day? That was awesome. I felt great afterwards. And I had no pain the next day. Unlike when I’m left alone.”
He nodded slowly. “I remember. You were about to do some damage.”
The gangly red-haired boy joined us.
Drake knocked his friend playfully in the ribs, and they laughed. “This is Billy. He talks too much.”
“Get fucked. You’re the one that never shuts up.”
I laughed at the cheek in his eyes. With that Irish accent, he made it sound like life was to be laughed at.
The lads joined me, Billy trying to outperform Drake, but never getting there. Drake was an impressive specimen and ran rings around the both of us. But I was stronger than I was the other day. I’d made progress and had moved up to heavier weights.
Although Billy was skinny, he showed impressive strength. His face turned red from determination to keep up with his friend. Then he got bored and pummelled a punching bag instead.
