“Good,” I beamed. “I would like to go running.”
“Excuse me, Miss?” he cleared his throat.
“Get changed, please,” I suggested playfully.
I truly did want to go running, but knew I was not allowed to go alone so my only option was making them go. After everyone was ready, we headed out of the building, stopping. I glanced around, remembering the last time I was here then rolled my eyes. My life had drastically changed.
I took my phone out of my pocket, pulling up my favorite fitness playlist. As I placed my wireless speakers in my ear, I found myself scrolling over to my messages. Nothing. Should I text him just to say hi? I thumbed over his name, sighing while deciding to check in.
Good morning Sir ;)
I slid my phone back in my pocket then my security detail and I went through the park. We ran, we jogged, and we walked four miles. It felt like it had been a while since I went running. The freedom I had felt great, so I decided to extend it for just today.
We stopped to take a breath when we were finished. Joseph passed me a water bottle. I thanked both of the bodyguards for being good sports and running with me. Neither of them seemed out of breath whatsoever, but I had been slacking in my routine lately.
We strode to the street, getting ready to cross. I looked down, noticing my shoe was untied. I watched my feet all the way across the crosswalk, being careful not to fall. When we got to the other side, I bumped into someone.
“Oh, I'm so sor--,” I began to apologize but my sentence fell short.
The man I bumped in to smiled. With the unforgettable Italian accent, he greeted me cheerfully, “Good morning to you!”
7 PENTHOUSE
She blushed, “Good morning.”
Isabelle was utterly breathtaking. It was so refreshing to see her eyes once again. They were part of the reason I took such a liking to her when I saw her photo for the first time. Though she had no idea who I was, I had to admit that it was fun to see both sides of her.
“Sorry I wasn't watching where I was going,” I apologized, smiling.
Glancing down at my phone. It was then, I realized that I was in the middle of replying to her text when we ran into one another. I quickly slid my phone in my jacket pocket, but I pressedSendfirst, ensuring that she would get the text while speaking to me.
“How have you been?” I inquired, crossing my arms over my chest.
“You wouldn't believe me if I told you.”
“Try me.”
She shook her head, grinning widely, “Nah, I think I am going to have to back out of this one.”
I chuckled musingly, “Fair enough.”
I peered over her shoulder and saw her security guys looking like they just ran an entire marathon. They were disgruntled, glaring in our direction, knowing I could see they were miserable. Joseph was my Head of Security, but he hated running almost more than anything. To see him like this was quite humorous. I attempted to hold in my laughter, but it was no use.
I gestured to them, snickering, “It seems you have a fan club today.”
She did not bother to turn around. Instead she glanced at the ground then met my gaze. “Yeahhh.”
“That's part of the thing I wouldn't believe isn't it?”
She nodded, tucking her bottom lip between her teeth.
“Well, I should get to the office.”
“Yeah, that's okay,” she agreed, gesturing to her building, “I moved into a new apartment and my stuff will be here in a little while so I should get back up.”
“You moved in the same building?”
I was testing her now to see how much she would reveal.
