Under the Stairs
Part 3
I got home from hanging out with Alex around 7. I walked in the apartment to a note on the table saying that mom and Kaylee went out to eat, and then to the movies. Thanks for the invite, I thought. Oh, well. I'll just work on my homework.
By the time I finished all of my homework, It was 9:00 I decided to get changed, and go down to the gym. I put on my pink sports bra, with a black, spaghetti-strap tank top over it, and gray yoga pants. I wrote a note to my mom, telling her where I was going. I pulled my hair into a ponytail, grabbed my iPod, a towel, and a bottle of water, and headed out the door. I walked past the elevators to the staircase, When I work out, I take the stairs up as a warm up. I usually go to the gym around 9, 10, or later. More times than not, there's nobody there this late. I like it that way-I can put my iPod in the dock that they have and blast my music.
I walked into the gym, and I didn't see anybody, but the radio was playing. the host was talking, and then announced that Madison Kent's new hit single was coming on. I heard an annoyed groan, and weights clanking together. The next thing I knew, Madison Kent was walking toward me. Well, the radio. He smiled at me, and started scanning for a different station.
"Don't like your own music?" I asked, standing, frozen. Madison laughed, and shook his head.
"Can't stand it. They go autotune-happy with my voice, and the radio plays it all the time," He stood up, and looked at me. "You have an iPod?" I unlocked it, and handed it to him. "Thanks," He said, going through my music. "I left mine in my apartment, and didn't want to waste time in here. I still have to finish unpacking." He chuckled. "I see you don't really like my music either. Ha, ha. You don't even have one of my songs."
"I'm a teenage girl, so you automatically assume that I'm in love with you?" I asked, sounding a little rude. He looked offended. "Sorry. That's not what I meant."
"It's fine, I was joking. I don't expect everyone to like me."
"And I do have one of your songs,"I defended, "It's an acoustic version. I downloaded it, though. so it's not under your name. I like your voice, but I just don't like that everybody is so obsessed with you." I walked over to the pull-up bar, and Madison plugged my iPod in, playing dubstep. he went back to lifting weights, and we didn't say another word to each other. He had blonde hair, with natural, brown, low-lights, and gorgeous green eyes. His smile was to-die-for, and his body was model material. Around 11:00, I lowered the volume to tell him I was leaving, and taking my iPod.
"That's fine, I was leaving soon, anyway," he said, "What are you going to do, now?"
"Nosy, much?" I joked. He smiled. "Probably just going to take a shower and sit on the computer for a few hours."
"Would you be willing to help me unpack a little?" He asked, looking down.
"You're a famous celebrity, and you're asking me to help you unpack? Don't you have people for that?"
"No," He laughed, "I'm all on my own."
"Well, I kinda wanted to shower and relax," I said, unplugging my iPod.
"I thought we were friends," He joked. "It's fine, go chill. I'll see you around."
"Well, I can shower later, it's no big deal," I said, realizing that Kaylee would kill me if I gave up this opportunity.
"Sweet," he smiled, "Let's go!"
