Yes!

You remove the dumbbell from its resting place and it nearly slams you in your chest. You were not expecting that kind of weight, but you can't look helpless in front of Tori. You stay calm and close your eyes. You concentrate on what's at stake if you don't pull this off. You give your all in one crazy push. In what can only be described as a miracle, you feel yourself lift the dumbbell back up and safely return it to it's starting point. You sit up and towel off the sweat pouring down from your forehead. Despite only doing one rep, Tori actually looks rather impressed.

"Wow! Look at you, Hercules," she jokes.

"Yeah, honestly I didn't realize how heavy that was going to be," you admit.

"Well yeah it's heavy! You put 80lbs on a dumbbell that already had 20lbs on it. That plus the weight of the bar. I mean, that's probably heavier than I am," Tori explains.

You look and sure enough there were already weights on the bar. You don't know how you missed them. You also didn't factor in the weight of the bar but you just keep that to yourself.

Just then Derek comes out of the locker room and sees you both. He walks over and interrupts your nice time with Tori.

"Didn't expect to see you two again so soon," Derek says in a friendly manner that instantly makes you suspicious.

"Oh, yeah. You were in Stag's Cafe this morning. You're the bully, right?" Tori replies somewhat coldly.

"You can just call me Derek and I assure you my bullying days are behind me. In fact I was wondering if Adam would like to come over sometime for dinner where we can officially bury the hatchet. You can bring your girlfriend too if you'd like," Derek says, absolutely dumbfounding you.

"If he goes I'll be there don't you worry," Tori assures him, equally suspicious of the offer.

Tori didn't correct him when he said "girlfriend". It might be nothing but...did she think this was a date? Surely she didn't think that. After all who takes a girl to the gym on a first date? You put these useless thoughts out of your mind and return to the moment at hand.

You agree to exchange numbers with Derek and will text him if you'd like to take him up on his offer. He gives Tori another hungry look then leaves. You and her stay just to talk a bit and then also head out.
