[ Derek's told himself to have a little faith and beautiful women are a weakness. He won't trust her or let her in right away but he's not opposed to getting to know someone. He might as well, if he's starting a new life, right? ]
All right, well...then let's each respectively settle in and see what's playing next week. In the mean time, I wouldn't hate to have company when grabbing a cup of coffee after my morning run some morning. In case you were inclined to say yes to that as well.
[ Because really, if they can't get through coffee, then there's really no point in the dinner, movie, and walk. Why waste her time or his? Might as well test the waters a little first. ]
i'm normally more of a mid-day zumba class girl myself but if you'd be inclined to have company on your run, i'd be happy to join you
coffee afterwards sounds great too :)
( it's no hike through the mountains or diving into a secluded pool, but she's no stranger to a long run or two. maybe that's just the kind of chance of pace she needs in this new place. )
[ As enticing as that offer actually is, it makes Derek literally cringe, because if he goes running with her, then he needs to run in human form which is decidedly less fun. ]
Ah, I would, but my morning runs are Derek time. Maybe we can do an evening run though. I'm not opposed to more than one a day to accommodate.
[ That gets a smirk out of him. Derek tired after a run. That's cute. Maybe if he was running from something rather than just running for the sake of running, but he's never gotten tired on one of his morning runs, even when they sometimes stretch out for miles and miles. ]
Deal. Fair warning: I have no idea what zoomba means.
Perfect, thanks. Don't know how I missed it, because I have, actually, been to the gym.
I wouldn't say I'm too manly for it so much as I just prefer the bitter bite not get compromised by milk. I usually just get a red eye. Maybe I'll make an exception. We'll see.

with a lot of spandex
a fair warning in return: you'll probably be the hottest guy in the class
but i'll try to keep the fawning masses away for you :)
no subject
I am not wearing spandex. Period.
I would appreciate that very much, thank you.
no subject
you may want to limber up beforehand though
no subject
Any idea? I haven't looked for one, yet.

they make a great latte if you're not too manly for a little frothed milk in your morning cup of joe
and eight sounds perfect :)

Good, I'll see you then.
