Description
As he crossed the lobby floor of his apartment building, Johnnie's step had a definite bounce to it. Dressed in his martial arts gi, he was still high on adrenalin. He had won the first four rounds during the competition. He had then gotten his ass kicked the next two rounds and was subsequently knocked out of the running. He was probably would have one heck of a bruise on his left shoulder in the morning but he'd reached his goal.  Nothing was going to ruin this thrill of accomplishment.
Stopping before the elevator he reached out to hit the call button just as the bell binged and red up arrow lit. As the door rolled open before him, Johnnie took a step back and rolled the building stress out of his shoulders as he gave the exiting people room.
When no one seemed to be exiting, he took a step forward and glanced inside the waiting elevator. The two giggling girl were not easily missed but it was the third person that gave him pause.
Jonathan.
The young man was dress in a pair of mint green swimming trucks revealing tanned and toned legs with flip flops adorning his feet.  His hands clung casually to the towel draped over his shoulders, concealing about a third of his naked chest. His long hair was damp and in disarray hiding half his face but it took only an instant for Johnnie to figure out who it was.
"What floor?" The blond girl asked.
Johnnie, the adrenaline suddenly dampened, held up a hand and shook his head. He'd wait for the next.
Jonathan grinned and Johnnie swore he was being mocked.
"Get in the elevator, Johnnie."
The Burnett giggled excitedly. "Oooo. You know each other?" Eagerly the blond waved Johnnie in, even as she stepped out of the elevator, grabbed his arm and tugged him inside. "There's plenty of room."
Johnnie did his best to suppress his eye roll.
"What floor?" One of them giggle.
Johnnie opened his mouth to reply but was cut off by Mr. Cocky at the opposite side of the elevator.
"Thirteen," Jonathan told them with a little grin.  "Lucky number thirteen."
"Oh that's so cool that you two know each other. We should get together for a double date."
Johnnie forced a smile. "I don't know..."
"Yeah sure, that's be great," chirped Jonathan, ignoring the not-well-hidden horrified glare from Johnnie.
The girls giggled again and the blond turned to Johnnie specifically.  "I'm Cami."
"And I'm Tammy."  The two girls giggled, this time in unison.
Johnnie just forced another smile.
"Nice to meet you."
"What's your name?"  The blond demanded cheerfully.
"Johnnie."
The blonde's eyes lit up.  "Johnnie and Jonathan," she said looking between the two guys. "John and Jon."
"J and J," chimed in the brunette.
The 2 girls giggled again and one started to ask another question just as the elevator softly chimed.
The doors open on the 5th floor and the blond waved at Johnnie and began to to tug the brunette out.
The brunette batted her eyes and and mouthed call me to Jonathan.
Once the doors closed fully Johnnie sighed in relief reaching out to hit the button for the 12th floor, his floor. Jonathan chuckled.
"Jealous?"
Johnnie smirked leaning back on the side wall.
"Hardly."
Jonathan smiled his cocky little grin.
"I like your pants."
Johnnie snorted but Jonathan seemed undeterred as he stepped closer in the already confined space.
"You know ... it'd be real easy to just drop down to my knees and....."
"Stop." Johnnie stated firmly putting out a hand to hold Jonathan back and not letting him finish that sentence.
"Stop right there.  This is not going to happen."
"Still an age issue?"  Jonathan asked flippantly.
Johnnie decided that, as that route hadn't slowed Jonathan's advancements, perhaps a more straight forward approach would.
"Just so you know I don't sleep around and I don't date those guys who do."
"You saying I can't do Monogamy?"
Jonathan didn't push against his hand so Johnnie let it fall away.
"I'm saying you don't want to. I'm saying you're young and full of it and I'm saying your bark is too loud and I don't think I want your bite."
"I've had all my shots."
The elevator chimed softly.
"Jonathan, I'm not here to play dog pound and I'm not going to be one of your little bitches."
He brushed by him and headed down the hall.
Jonathan reached out to hit the 15th floor button as he watched the retreating figure.  There was a slight limp, he noticed, but the view was, as always, very nice.
"Bark bark," he said aloud just as the doors started to slide shut again.
Johnnie clenched his jaw as he fished his keys out of an over sized pocket and opened the door to his place. So much for straight forward.
