"Lifting" Weights

Laden's 6'3 frame leaned in the doorway of the gym, hands in pokets, watching Mimosa. He laughed inwardly. "That, my dear, is cheating." He called to her as she lifted the weights through the air.

Laden grunted, "Of course I can." He said confidently and strode to where Mimosa had dropped the weights. She obviously didn't know that he could lift four times his weight before ever breaking a sweat. He bent down and grabbed the weight with his left hand, lifting it effortlessly from the ground. He threw it in the air catching it with his right hand, the weight barely making an impact. He watched her, waiting for her response. "Hate to say I told you so." He grinned mischevously. "Actually, I don't."

"That was cold!" Lexie said while watching the weigh drop on his foot. She leaned lightly on the doorframe and ran her fingers through her light brown hair. She was dressed slightly different for gym wearing a pair of loose fitting jeans resting lightly on her hips with a black belt and a "My Chemical Romance" shirt. She stared as these two people she had never seen before. At least they didn't look familar. She pulled her hair back into a loose ponytail before lifting a couple weights. The weight was 10 pounds. Kinda heavy. After lifting it about like what seemed like 25 times she said "Hi I'm Lexie!"

.......Laden cringed when he felt the weight slam on his toe, but refused to make an out-cry."Wasn't it?" Landen said in response to Lexie's comment. He leaned down and picked it up, placing it back where it belonged. "Point taken." He said, nodding to Mimosa.
.......Hearing Lexi's voice he turned to greet her. He veiwed her red tipped hair and Hazel eyes, and the beads of perspiration on her forehead. Altogether she was a pleasing sight. He extended his hand toward her. "Name's Landen. Nice to meet you."

Lexie smiled. "Nice to meet you too!" she said. She shook his hand lightly. She took the hair tie out of her hair and put her hair into a tighter pony tail. She tied her hoodie around her waist and watched the people around her almost as if waiting for something.

Laden smiled and went over to the weights, he set the machine for 700 and started pushing, the muscles in his arms flexing as he did so, threatening to tear his shirt. He did this roughly 50 times, then got up and went to the punching bag. He raised his fists and stood in a fighting stance then started dishing it out without restraint.

"Sweet" Lexie said calmly commenting to Laden's strength. She sat on a machine and leaned back watching him beat the punching bag.
