Mine

Chapter Seven

Today was Friday and Jeremy was ecstatic. He couldn't wait to see Elizabella again. Everyone at work noticed his great mood and it was contagious. Even his father seemed to smile a little today which was very rare for him.

Jeremy was getting another coffee from the break room with Zachery. "So what has you hyped up today?" Zachery asked curiously. Jeremy couldn't stop himself from smiling. "I got a date tonight." Jeremy stated proudly.

Zachery raised an eyebrow at him. "You've been on plenty of dates. What is so exciting about this one? Wait! Are going on a date with that chick from the strip club?"

Jeremy wasn't to pleased with how Zachery put it. "Yeah, I am actually." Jeremy simply stated.

"I didn't think those type of girls were your type...." Zachery added awkwardly. "Yeah well she is not like that. She needs the money. She's not a whore." Jeremy snapped at him.

Zachery put his hands in a defensive way. "I didn't say she was mate. I'm just use to you having the snobby chicks with rich fathers around. That's all."

Jeremy knew he was right but it still bothered him. "This girl is different besides once it's an official things between us she won't even need to work." Jeremy replied while trying not to sound too harsh.

"Wait you actually want things to go to a more serious level? Since when do you ever have serious relationships? You don't even know this chick." Zachery stated in shocked tone.

"I'm tired of sleeping around... I want to settle down eventually and I know I don't know her all that much but I'm going to change that. I also wouldn't mind you butting the hell out of my business!" Jeremy said through clenched teeth trying to hold back his anger. He didn't want to ruin his good mood.

"What the hell is you problem mate? I'm only curious considering a month ago from you took home some chick with you from that party yet now all the sudden you're talking about settling down with a chick you met at the strip club. It's just odd, for you I mean." Zachery explained himself.

Jeremy wanted to snap at him again but he knew that everything he was saying was true. It was odd, very odd. "I don't know, I just have a good feeling about her that's all." Jeremy stated calmly. Zachery just nodded letting the topic go which pleased Jeremy.

Other than Jeremy's discussion with Zachery his day went well and his good mood remained. Elizabella had texted him to let him know that she would be done at ten o'clock which gave him enough time to head to the gym and then go home and get ready for her.

Jeremy got the gym and went straight to the treadmills like usual. He noticed Shelly on the bicycles and he tried to avoid her but he knew he wouldn't be so lucky. She spotted him almost immediately. She had radar when it came to Jeremy.

"Hey Jeremy!" Shelly squealed, her voice made him cringe. He can't understand how he ever tolerated her. "Hi Shelly" He responded curtly. She wasn't thrown off by his rudeness. She was use to him being this way. "Can I join you?" She asked sweetly. He just shrugged. He didn't really want her near him. She was just a bother.

He looked at her now like that annoyingly little kid that your only nice to because you feel you have to be. She seemed happy to be running to next him.

He of course could run effortlessly as if he were just walking yet Shelly looked she was about to pass out any second. They had been running for about two hours so he thought he would stop running and head over to lift some weights.

Shelly of course followed him. "So I thought maybe if you are free that we could go get a bite to eat or something." Shelly proposed to him in a hopeful tone. He shook his head. "I have a date later." He announced. He didn't care about hurting her feelings right now.
