Anderson was lifting his seveteeth weight. Then Robert came over to take his bottle of water. "Wow! Now that's weight lifting, " Robert said then gobbled up the water. Anderson placed the weight back in its position, then sat up. "It's just a matter of practice Robert, " Anderson said then also took his bottle of water and drank some.
"I wonder where Stanley has gone off to, " Anderson said still holding his water bottle.
Robert just shrugged his shoulders. Then at that time Stanley walked to them with a big grin plastered on his face. "Dude what's with the smile? " Robert asked him.
"Um_its just that a pretty lady just joined us in the gym, and her face is not familiar at all," Stanley explained.
"Really, if you don't know her maybe we don't either, " Robert state.
Anderson then stared at them still seated. "What if I do, " He state then got up.
"Then come find out_but I doubt it, " Stanley told them.
Meanwhile Ashley was already dressed. She had a black crop vest showing off her neckline and her inked arm, it also revealed her waist showing off her abs, she wored black gym pants and still had her shoes on. Then she styled her long hair in a long pony tail as it fell on her lower back.
"Wow you look great, " Claire commented.
Ashley just had a smirk tracing her lips.
"Why are you making that face, the outfit isn't girly, " Claire told her.
Ashley changed the topic. "So what should we start with? " Ashley asked her friend, but before she could get an answer, Claire's attention was drifted to the three men walking towards them, especially the tall one with glasses in the middle.
"Is that Anderson Whitecross! " She exclaimed in a lower tone.
This made Ashley to slowly turn around, and her eyes met his black irises.
"Ash! " He state.
"Mr.Whitecross! "
"Oh and another surprise they know each other, " Robert state.
"You've met? " Claire whispered.
"Yeah, the day we were in Taetop club the guy who almost run me over, " Ashley whispered back.
Claire then gasped and placed her palm on her lips. Anderson slowly walked to them as Stanley and Robert followed.
"You didn't tell me you go to the gym, " Anderson state as he stood before her.
"I used to_its just that I haven't been here for a while, " She explained, then Claire interrupted them.
"I'm Claire Allen, a friend to Ash, but you can call me C, " She state hurriedly then they shook hands.
Scott also walked to them after noticing Anderson. "Babe look it's Anderson Whitecross! " She told him.
Scott also shook hands with him. "It's so great to see you Sir Whitecross, " He said grinning cheerfully.
Anderson then introduced his friends. Then they parted, but Anderson was still staring at Ash.
....
Ashley and Claire headed to the punching bags. Ashley took her skipping rope to give a heard start to her mind. Meanwhile Claire was punching the bag.
He looks like a good guy, "Claire said after punching her last one.
Ashley didn't stop skipping. " What are you talking about? "She asked.
" Anderson he's nice_i mean he took care of you, "Claire concluded.
Ashley then stopped and placed the ropes away. " Yeah he's kind, but I still don't know him we'll, all I know is that he's rich and famous, " Ashley state then took her bottle of water, then drank some.
Claire then sat close to her on the bench.
"You're lucky he saved you, but I shouldn't have left_i promise that won't happen again," Claire told her holding Ashley's hand without the bottle.
She smiled back. "But he's_" Ashley hesitated.
"Handsome_" Claire finished for her.
"Um_y_yeah he is, but, C he's married and I'm gay, I can't have feelings for him, it will be weird, " She explained.
Claire just shrugged her shoulders. "Alright, I will head off and find my boyfriend and maybe even lift weights with him, " She said then stood.
"Catch you later, " She state then walked away to look for Scott.
Ashley was punching the bag mercilessly. This really distracted her and she didn't hear Anderson walking towards her. He just stood there as she made her moves without knowing he was smiling, then nasty thoughts got into his head. He wanted to know now it feels to hold her close and smell her scent. He stared at how her hips were moving side by side even though her feet held her firmly to the ground. Ashley then threw an upper cut which hurt her wrist a bit, making her to make a hiss sound. That made him to take a step closer to her.
She then turned and almost bumped into Anderson. "Oh, Mr. Whitecross, " She state then hid her left arm.
"Lemme see it, you're hurt, " He said then took her arm.
"It's alright, I'm fine, " She state as he was staring at her slightly paining arm.
"Sorry you should be careful Ash, " He said.
"It's the gym, Mr. Whitecross, " She state then slowly pulled her arm back.
She turned to face the punching bag, then Anderson held her waist and stood closely behind her.
