off a little. 
    “Have some respect,” I say before walking away from him to
start my own workout.
    I am trying my best to ignore the curvy cutie in pink and
black but as we go through our workout, I find myself seeking her out.  I
locate her in the cardio room above as she does walking and running intervals
on the treadmill. 
    “Why don’t you go up and talk to her,” Judah says as I start
my bench press and he spots me.  “You keep looking up at her – we all see it,”
he gestures to Wood and Charlie as they gather round.
    From that point on, every time they catch me looking her
way, they razz me; I ignore them for the most part.  It’s not that I don’t want
to talk to her; it is just that I know that she came here to work out and not
to get hit on.  My sister Zoe, Ivy and Maddie belong to the same gym and they
have told me plenty of times how some guy has hit on them when all they want is
to be left alone so they can work out in peace. 
    I finally relent and make my way up to the room. 

Chapter
3 – Sparks
     
    Olivia - Mid-March
    I pull into the parking lot of my new (ish) gym, glad to see
only a few vehicles in the parking lot.  I joined this particular gym back in
January, deciding that my twice a week yoga classes were not enough if I wanted
to stay in shape.  For the first month, I came for my workout at various times,
trying to gauge when the gym was the least crowded.  I am not big on crowds so
that is important to me.
    I discovered that the time between 9am and 11am, the gym is
the least crowded.  The hardcore morning people have all cleared out and the
stay-at-home moms (and dads) haven’t invaded the gym yet. 
    It is almost 10am and I am starting my workout.  I was
assigned a complimentary trainer when I signed up at the gym and I am following
his program of strength-training first.  It takes me almost twenty minutes to
check off the exercises from his list.  I make my way upstairs from the weight
room to the cardio room and walk to the treadmill at the end of the row and
against the wall. 
    The cardio room overlooks the weight room and I have a good
view of the room below as I start my treadmill workout.  I put my earbuds in my
ear, open my iPad and find a playlist before opening up a book to read.  I lose
myself in music and words as I do my interval training on the treadmill.
    I have been on the treadmill for almost ten minutes when I
hear raucous laughter bleed through my ear buds.  It is coming up from the
weight room below.  I look and see four guys - three black and one white.  From
what I can tell from this distance, they are all quite attractive.  The more I
let my look linger, I see that two are twins. 
    Double the fun.
    I am caught off guard when one of the twins looks up and
looks right at me.  I stumble and grab the treadmill rails so that I don’t fall
and embarrass myself.  I quickly look away, my face heating up that I have been
caught looking.  I go back to my book and forget about the handsome men below.
    I have five minutes to go in my treadmill work out when I
sense someone stepping on the treadmill next to me.  I glance over briefly and
see one of the twins.  I stumble briefly before I gather my composure.  He
gives me a smile and he has dimples that make my tummy do flip-flops. 
    I will tell you now, when it comes to guys and flirting – I
seriously suck at it.  I have no idea how to be flirty, witty and alluring.  I
am painfully awkward.  I try my best to ignore him, but I can sense him looking
at me and that makes me curious.  I power down my treadmill and when it comes
to a complete stop, I turn my attention to him.  I give him a shy smile as I
remove my earbuds and he gives me that dimpled smile again, making my insides
all jittery.
    “Hi,” he says.  His voice is very deep and it vibrates
through me.
    “Hi,” I reply shyly.  I can feel my face heat up. 
    “I’m Isaac.”
    “Olivia.”  I quickly wipe down the treadmill with
