“Yeah, uh...” Blue stutters, clearly not sure how to handle this situation. I don’t know how things ended between the two of them, or if they really had ended, and truthfully I don’t care. As long as it’s over now and he gets the message that she’s no longer fair game.
I’m staking my claim, not the least bit ashamed to do so.
“Well, I guess I’ll see you around.” Bruce takes the hint and steps back.
“Yeah, see you around.” Blue gives him a little wave before allowing me to lead her to the other side of the gym.
“What was that?” she hisses at me.
“What?” I play innocent like I have no idea what she’s talking about.
“That.” She hitches her thumb behind us. “You might as well have peed on my leg.”
“Just making sure he knows where you stand.”
“Where I stand or where you stand?”
“Both.” I shrug.
“You just can’t help yourself, can you?”
“Nope.” I smile, giving her a wink as she veers toward a row machine and takes a seat.
“You realize the bet was thatyoucan’t sleep with anyone, not that I can’t. Maybe I wanted to call him tonight.” I know she’s fucking with me but the thought of them together makes my blood boil a little.
“Now that’s just cold. You wouldn’t do that do me.” I gasp playfully, trying to mask my reaction.
“Wouldn’t I?” She sets her resistance on the machine before looking up at me. “Are you going to stand there watching me or are you going to work out?”
“I don’t know. I’m really kind of enjoying this view.”
“Oh my god. Go.” She points to the array of other weight machines scattered around the space.
Laughing, I let my gaze travel the length of her one last time before I turn, settling onto the leg press just two machines down from her.
I don’t work out for shit. I’m too pre-occupied watching her body move as she rows the machine, her biceps flexing with each pull. Maybe she was right. Working out together might be too distracting. Then again, I’m really enjoying this particular distraction.
“I can see you staring,” she yells without looking in my direction.
“Then stop looking at me,” I call back with a laugh.
She ignores my comment and goes another ten minutes on the row machine before she switches to an ab machine a couple of rows over. I finish my reps and move to the bicep curl machine directly behind her.
“Are you going to follow me everywhere I go?” she asks, sensing me behind her.
“I can’t help it if the machines you’re using are right next to the ones I use.”
“You’re so full of shit.”
“Thanks to your little bet, I’m full of other things, too.”
Her movement falters but she quickly recovers. “You have a hand, use it.” Even though her back is to me, I can hear the smile in her voice.
“I have. It’s not the same.”
She abruptly stops what she’s doing and turns to face me. “I guess you could go ahead and admit defeat now. I wouldn’t blame you, you know?”
“Nice try. But at the current moment there’s only one person I want. So unless you’re offering...” I let the question hang.
