part of Vandyl and sometimes I wonder if that's the only reason they talk to me, or want to go out with me."
She rolls her eyes. "Seriously? You really think that's the only reason?" Her eyes move down my body, then back up at my face. "Have you looked in a mirror lately?"
"What? Because I have muscles? That doesn't mean anything. A lot of guys work out." I motion to the free weights where there are at least five guys as big as me lifting weights.
Her eyes go to them, then back to me. "Yeah, it's uh, not quite the same."
"And why is that?" I try to be serious, but knowing she thinks I'm hotter than those other guys makes me smile.
She rolls her eyes again. "I'm not going to stand here and give you compliments. The bottom line is that you lied to me last night and made me feel like an idiot in front of my friends." She turns away and sits on the machine next to the one she was trying to use. It's the lat press but when she goes to use it, she realizes she forgot to adjust the weight. It's set with two hundred and forty pounds which is probably twice what she weighs.
I reach behind her and take the pin out of the weights. "What do you want it at?"
She sighs. "Sixty."
I replace the pin, then come around in front of her. "I'm sorry, okay? I really am. The only reason I didn't tell you is because I liked the fact that you didn't know who I was. I wasn't lying when I said that I'm never sure if a girl really likes me for me, or because I'm in a band. So when I realized you didn't know, I wanted to keep it going and see if you'd go out with me because you like me, not because I'm in a band." I smile. "I knew you weren't interested in me just for my body because it was dark so you couldn't see all this." I motion to myself.
She finally smiles, but just barely. "I could see it."
I lean back against the machine behind me and cross my arms over my chest. "So you're saying you only talked to me because of how I look?"
"Yep." She faces forward and does another rep, her arm and shoulder muscles flexing. I love this girl's body. Strong and lean, yet soft and curvy in all the right places.
"That's really shallow," I say, moving in front of her. "I gotta say, I'm a little offended."
She laughs. "Yeah, I'm sure you are. Now would you move please?"
I stay where I'm at, facing her, my feet planted right in front of hers. "You've got plenty of space. Full range of motion."
She extends her arms again, breathing through the move. "Maybe I don't want you standing there while I'm trying to lift weights."
Her eyes are on mine as she does another rep. She has gorgeous eyes, a deep brown with flecks of gold. And her mouth. I love her lips. With each rep, my eyes go to those lips as she forces out a breath. I feel another twitch in my shorts. Damn, I need to stop looking at her or the twitch is going to be a lot more than that and I'll embarrass myself.
"Go out with me," I blurt out.
"What?" she asks, her arms fully extended in the move.
"Go out with me." I say it again because it's already out there and I know she heard me the first time. "Just once. Dinner. Coffee. Whatever you want."
"No," she says as she brings her arms back, completing the move.
She turned me down. Again.
What's the deal with this girl? She admitted she's attracted to me, so why won't she go out with me?
Chapter Six
Kira
"Then don't think of it as a date," Austin says. "Think of it as an apology for not telling you I was in the band. I'll take you to dinner."
"You already apologized. You don't have to take me to dinner." I continue on the lat press but I've lost count of my reps. My muscles are starting to ache but I keep the motion going to distract me from Austin, who I've now decided is the hottest guy I've ever seen, at least in person. Last night in the bar, I couldn't really see him that well, but now, in the bright light of the gym, I'm able to get a good look at him, and holy crap, he's hot. Every part of him is ripped muscle, and unfortunately, I
