“So you’re a fitness freak too as well as a part time model?” he playfully flirted with him as she approached.
“Not bad yourself stud,” she replied, checking out Mark’s body that was aching inside, “You should have told me you were into running, we could have gone together this morning.”
An opportunity missed, Mark made plans to see more of her, “Well I do this most mornings,” he lied, “Why don’t we do it tomorrow or Monday or something. It is the holidays isn’t it?”
She fiddled with her ponytail as he spoke which was a lot hotter than it should have been, “How about Monday, are you free then?”
“Monday works for me,” he replied.
Jade smiled, “I’ll text you.”
The brunette then put her headphones back in her ears as she began her run, moving straight past him. Mark did a 180 to watch her run off into the distance, her ass giving him something nice to think about when jumping into the shower.

Monday Morning
Just as they planned, Mark and Jade met outside her house early Monday morning as the sun began to rise. Today she wore similar black bike shorts that looked like they couldn’t be any tighter to her thighs than they already were. Instead of the pink sports bra from Saturday, she now had a white one, the same Nike branded material.
There wasn’t much talking as they both ran side by side, making their way down to the beach.
Without knowing anything about Jade ‘s athletic abilities, Mark was shocked to see how quickly she could move. The girl’s legs moved swiftly, almost effortlessly as they ran along a bike track on the edge of the sand.
He didn’t know what to say to her to end this, it was torture on his legs trying to keep up with her pace. With the morning sun beating down on them already, Mark felt like he’d pass out if he went much longer.
Without much warning, Jade began to pull up, checking her watch as she did so.
“That’s almost 8kms,” she said, barely puffing, “Happy to stop here?”
“Yeah… sounds good,” Mark replied, in between deep breaths.
As much as he wanted to hide it considering how unfazed Jade was with the distance, Mark couldn’t. He put his hands to his head, sucking in the air with deep breaths.
“Come on, let’s go get something from the café to eat,” she told him, smirking at just how exhausted he appeared in front of her.
Mark just nodded, following her back across the road to a busy section of shops. All next to each other, there were cafes, small grocery stores, takeaway joints and even a couple of small clothing stores. Jade picked out the first café on the left and the two grabbed a seat at an outside table.
Once he had his breath back, Mark felt a little more relaxed. They ordered some breakfast meals and a coffee each after being served by one of the waiters wearing all black.
“What is it with you?” Mark said playfully at the table, “You’re a freak athlete, a nurse, a model, is there anything you’re not good at?”
It made Jade laugh, “Just because I have the looks to be a model, doesn’t mean I am.”
She sure looked it though. Even after running eight kilometres in some pretty warm morning weather, Jade managed to still look as sexy as ever. Her cheeks were a little more rosy and her hair that was done up in a bun was a bit messy but it didn’t matter at all.
“But if you have to know, I’m not very good at strategic games… things like Chess.”
He laughed, “Really? That’s your only flaw?”
“Yeah and no, I’m not playing chess with you.”
“You don’t have to worry, I wouldn’t be much better.”
Mark could swear that he was falling in love with the way she laughed and smiled. Those pearly whites staring back at him.
“Soo uhh anyways, how’s Justin?” he asked her, still unsure of what happened after he stormed away from the swimming pool.
“He’s fine,” she replied.
“Did I do anything to upset him? He seemed pretty annoyed when he walked off.”
She sighed, not knowing what to tell Mark. Her boyfriend had virtually warned her not invite him around again. Although she hadn’t had him over since Friday, Jade knew just by going out to a local café with him would make Justin’s blood boil.
Not wanting to give him the bad news that he couldn’t invite him around as much, Jade played it off as if nothing was wrong, “No you’re good. Like I said before, he’s just complicated, I wouldn’t worry if I were you.”
He nodded, still under the belief that something was not quite right there.
“Speaking about Friday…” she then said with a great big smirk on her face, “You and Katie sure put on a show after we had left.”
Mark gulped, his cheeks were still bright red from the run but he could feel them getting even redder, “Oh you uhhh were watching that huh?”
Jade nodded slowly, still smirking,
“All of it??” he asked.
“Enough of it to get the idea..”
The idea of Jade watching her sister blow him was on one hand a great turn on but also a touch embarrassing. The cheeky grin on her face helped him believe that she wasn’t concerned about any of this whatsoever, in fact, maybe it turned her on as much as it did him.
“Well…” he spoke.
“Well what?”
“Well what did you think?” he bravely asked.
Before Jade could even open her mouth, the waiter had returned to the table with their food.
“The smoked salmon and scrambled eggs,” the man said, holding out one plate.
Jade raised her hand, not taking her eyes off Mark, still staring into his eyes.
“And the big breakfast with extra bacon, extra mushrooms,” the waiter said while placing the other plate in front of Mark.”
“Thanks very much,” he replied politely, more excited about the brunette’s response than the actual food on his plate.
She took a sip of her drink before answering, “It was a nice show but it sure didn’t look like you could last too long out there, had to start wondering about how long it would take me to finish you off.”
Underneath the table, Mark was now hiding a giant erection in his running shorts. He took a bite of his breakfast, feeling a lot more uncomfortable than he was a couple of minutes, in a good way of course.
“Don’t be shy then, how long would it take you?”
She paused, twisting up her lips, “I wouldn’t even need a minute.”
It was almost as if his heart rate was as fast as it was just earlier on their run. Jade played it off as if it was no big deal, starting to use her knife and fork to cut up her salmon.
To Mark, it still didn’t add up. Girls with boyfriends were never this openly flirty with other guys. Was there something about Mark that made her this way or did she do this with a lot of guys?
Watching her dig into her meal, Mark felt sexually frustrated. If he could, he’d jump this table and have his way with her. The fact that part of her attitude made him believe that she wanted it while her relationship held her back, was very hard for him to deal with.
“You all good?” she asked him, noticing he hadn’t eaten much.
“Yeah. All good.”
Mark forced a smile before cutting into his eggs.
After finishing their meals and paying for them, Jade had her mother come pick them up so they didn’t have to make the long trek back home by foot. Just like her daughters, she was an attractive woman who took care of her body. Also like her daughter, she was a nurse at a North Brisbane hospital, one of the reasons why Jade was leaning towards that kind of career pathway.
