wrapped around me and make us sweat in a more erotic sort of dance. I’d better stop this train of thought. The last thing I need is to have a pitched tent when I talk to her again. She’s attempting a few of the easier moves and is doing well by herself. I decide now’s as good a time as any and move into the studio. She hasn’t seen me yet and, Lord have mercy, she starts to strut around the pole and use her assets to look sexy. My little librarian is blowing my mind. Oh Shit…she must have lost her grip on the pole, because she crashes to the floor with a loud screech. I jog over to her to make sure she isn’t hurt. Once I notice her focus on my shoes I say “Boo” and watch as her eyes travel on up my legs, stomach, chest, and all the way up to my face. I flash her my most panty melting smile and say, “Well, we meet again.” She just blinks at me as if I’m not real. I want to be real to her, solid, constant. I reach out and push her glasses back up her nose as they slid off during her fall. She still has no words as I help her up from the floor. She’s blinking rapidly and the shocked look on her face is incredibly cute.
    “Are you hurt anywhere? Can I get you an ice pack for your elbow?” I inquire. Her elbow seems to be where she landed the hardest.
    “Derrick? What are you doing here? I’m fine!”
    “I heard you were going to be here tonight, so I’m here too.” She squints her eyes and reflexively nods her head. “Ok, I also work here, so it’s not a complete coincidence.” She wraps her arms around her naked stomach in a vain attempt to cover up some skin. Pity, because she’s soft in all the right places.
    “Why would you come here to see me, Derrick?” She asks seeming surprised. “You don’t even know me.”
    “But I want to know you,” I say to her and reach out to brush the back of my hand down her cheek and rest it on her shoulder. She’s still a little damp from her workout and her skin feels like silk. “I was wondering if you would like to join me this evening for a drink and we can spend some time together.”
    “But I’m hanging out with Layla tonight.” She sounds disappointed and I know I am. “Maybe she could come with us…if you don’t mind, that is?” There’s still hope, I feel like doing a fist pump into the air.
    “No, I don’t mind at all I’ll call my buddy, Riven, to keep her company, so she doesn’t feel like a third wheel.” I’m almost positive Riven has no plans this evening and would help a brother out with the tag-along friend.
    “Um, ok, let me go get cleaned up and changed.”
    “I’ll do the same and meet you out front. See you in about 15 minutes.” I rub my palm down her arm and give her hand a squeeze. She smiles shyly at me and leaves to go get changed. I jog to the locker room and shower in record time. I quickly throw on my clothes, a pair of stone washed jeans, an aqua colored V-neck t-shirt and my favorite boots. I shove my workout clothes in my locker, grab my wallet and phone and head up front. My phone rings and I look down at the caller ID to see that Mitzi is calling. I roll my eyes to the ceiling and take a deep breath before I answer the call.
    “I expect you to answer the phone when I call you Derrick. I’ve left you three messages today. Where the hell have you been?” She shrieks.
    “Mitzi, I’ve been at work all day. What’s so important that it couldn’t wait for me to call you back?”
    “I wanted to make sure you remembered your photo shoot for tomorrow morning with Zach Lovell. These are preliminary shots for a new book cover. You should be well rested and relaxed…I thought I could help with that.” She says the last part in a seductive voice.
    “Not tonight, Mitzi. It’s been a long day. I’m just going to go out and have a drink with Riven and be home before 11:00.”
    “Alright, precious, as long as you’re well rested for tomorrow. I’ll see you soon.” And with that, she hangs up.
    I need to
