Eleanor.
The next three days passed in a blur of working out, working at the office, and even at home. There was so much work to do that when I walked to where I parked my car. I sighed.
I had the backpack I was carrying dropped in the back seat before using the towel to clean my face gently. I slid inside the car and turned on the ignition almost immediately. The Air Conditioner followed and although I was still dressed in my sports bra and yoga pants, I wasn’t comfortable.
Well, the main reason I wasn’t feeling comfortable despite wearing this comfy oath is that I’m sweating my ass out. I spent almost four hours doing squats, bench presses, and well, the treadmill had me going past my usual

“What’s going on?” I asked as I kept my eyes fixated on the windscreen. The streets seemed a little too busy for the time. It was still noon and meant to be the time with fewer cars on the road.
“Up for a lazy day?” she asked. “Thad the day shift and I’ll be having two days off. Was looking forward to resting for the rest of the week ”
I hormed at the driver in front of me “Seems like a good time to bond over some sandwich and meatballs,
“You bet, girl
“I just left the gym now. I’m heading home.”
“I’ll be on my way. Nor. Need me to get anything for you?“.
“Uh-“I took a few seconds. “Could you get sandwiches on your way, please! Preferably a meaty sandwich and pickle combo. I also do not mind if you stop by ar–” I paused midway when I realized I was just about snatching on Dente. “Anywhere with great meatballs,”
“Got it” she fired. “Now, I’ll see you soon.

It took some more time before I got home and the car came to a halt in the garage. 1 sighed in tiredness just before stretching to grab my backpack in the back seat, I dimbed out of the car
Thankfully, a car pulled in next and it was Viola. Horning at me like I couldn’t see her, I stepped aside with a big smile rugged on my lips. “Right in
She returned the smile and alter a few seconds, she walked towards me with a small bar

She shook her head. “You’re not getting an address, Nar
I did the cute puppy thing as we walked straight to the door. I can’t lie–it feels good to know something and still pretend to not know. It’s like switching between characters and when I saw Viol’s reaction, I could tell she was feeling great to have kept that away
“By the way, you look–or I think the best thing to say is you don’t look like you’ve been working

She whipped her hair around just so the curls could bounce some more, feeling hyped bout my compliments. “Well, I better get in before you have the timing red”
Our jokes continued even after dinner and while we sat on the couch, I kept laughing out loud.
“You know? Sometimes I wish I could watch this. I mean your stories, I have no idea how your life is so interesting even at work.”
“You call getting turned on by a patient’s son funt Girl, I could have ruined it all.”
“Bus you didn’t and guess what? You had an orgasm!” I laughed again. “Damn, no wonder you sounded all excited when you called. “You had every reason to be”
