“Well, I have it every morning. You ready to go?”
“Not particularly, but it doesn’t seem like I have any other option.”
I was stretching my legs. “You’re right. You’re my bitch for the next three months.”
“I wouldn’t go that far,” he responds, following my lead by stretching his legs.
“You live right across from Central Park, so we can go over there,” I said as we stepped into the elevator.
“This is every day for you?” he asks.
“Every day.”
“Why?”
“Why not? It helps relieve stress, and I don’t have to think about anything.”
When we get to Central Park, we start running. I change pace every so often from running to jogging and repeat.
I was riding high on my endorphins, and after thirty-five minutes, I decided to stop. “You kept up,” I told him, kind of impressed.
“You sound surprised.”
“Well, I am. I was sure you were going to throw up.”
He rested his hands on his hips while we walked around at a slower pace. “I feel like I might.”
I laughed. “You’ll get used to it.”
He nodded like yeah right. “Want to stop somewhere and get breakfast.”
“Yes. I’m starved.”
I saw a little place up ahead, and Jameson walked next to me.
“What do you want? I’m buying.”
“Ladies first, he replied, standing behind me. I ordered a biscuit, egg, and cheese sandwich with a side of home fries.
I stepped aside so he could order, and the fucker already had his credit card whipped out. I rolled my eyes when he looked at me.
After getting our food and drinks, we found a table to sit at.
“Ever been here before?” I asked before biting into my sandwich.
“No. Never noticed this place. It’s nice, though.”
“Right. You’re used to spending several hundred per plate.”
“I wouldn’t go that far.”
“Mmmhmm.”
“You know that,” he pointed to my food, “probably just defeats the purpose of running.”
“I never said I was running to keep a trim figure. I don’t restrict myself. And if it goes to my hips, that’s what it is.” I stopped to take another bite of my food. “I believe this morning, there is a big meeting at Titan. You should show up and at least act like you care.”
He scoffed in response, and his mood immediately changed; the remainder of our breakfast was eaten in silence.
