"Love you!" she blew Justin a kiss, next dashing out the door to catch her bus.

"Fifty nine, sixty." Ron counted as Nico pushed out his last few push-ups.

Completing them, he jumped up from the gym floor and brushed off his hands.

"How you feeling?" His brother asked him.

Nico took a gulp of water and then poured it over his face.

"Like I'm ready to be out."

Glancing at his phone, he read the time as 2:45.

"Nigga if you check that phone one more time, what call you waiting on?" Ron laughed.

"I gotta go" Nico said without further explanation, "Tell pops I'll be here tomorrow after class. Leg day, I didn't forget."

"Yeah, Alright. Make sure you stretch and soak tonight, try to get ahead of the pain." Ron half joked.

Leg day was no joke, and could leave someone limping for days if not executed correctly. Nico assured his brother he would, next grabbing his belongings and exiting the family gym.

Azure was able to get wifi at her job and text him, and after a short conversation during her break the two made plans to meet up afterwards.

Nico suggested that he get her from work, and she obliged. Seeing as though she would be getting off at 3pm, Nico began his route to Danny's Breakfast spot. The weather was beautiful, a nice seventy seven degrees on a Sunday, and the whole day was ahead of them. Nico wasn't sure where he wanted to take Azure, but something about her made him want to impress her.

Pulling up to the restaurant, Nico double parked his jet black Maxima and turned down the loud rap music. The time on his radio turned to 3pm, and right on time Azure came sauntering out of the restaurant with her book bag on her shoulder and a plastic bag in her other hand, casually talking to a coworker and saying her goodbyes.

She was dressed in her all black uniform of slacks and a button up, and her hair in a low bun. Even in her work uniform she looked sexy as hell.

Once she spotted him, she made her way over to the car and climbed in.

"Hey, how are you?" Her smile was wide and friendly.

"I'm good, how was work?" Nico asked, pulling off.

"It was work" she shrugged, "How was your work out?"

"It was a work out." he shrugged, copying off of her.

The two shared a laugh, Azure playfully hitting him on his arm afterwards.

"So, what do you have in mind? I'm free the entire day." Nico said letting her know he was willing to give her all of his time.

Azure wasn't sure what she wanted to do, but one thing was for sure and that was that she needed to get out of the hot outfit. Her uniform of all black wasn't as comfortable now that the weather was warming up, and on the other hand all of her clean clothes were at her apartment. She had been living out of a small bag of clothes she grabbed the day of the incident, but never returned after.

"I don't know, but I need to change" Azure told him, "This uniform is hot."

"I bet" Nico agreed, "Where's your place? I can take you pass to change."

"Its cool, I can just wear this." Azure quickly changed her mind.

"If I'm hot in this white tee, I know you're hot in that button up. What you think I'm going to stalk you or something?" Nico smirked at her, showing the dimple in his right cheek.
