Sam Wilson had easily found places to run in the morning no matter which city he lived in. Early mornings with very few people on the paths with the most interaction was a head nod in greeting or a calling of “on your left” from Steve as he called out each time he ran past.
Sam ran a while by his self before he started getting lapped by Steve. On mornings with nothing on the schedule they would have breakfast a diner.
“On your left!”
“Morning Steve!” Sam hollered as Steve ran past.
“On your left!”
“Ass!” Sam hollered veering off toward a bench.
Using the bench Sam stretched as he watched Steve continue to run around the large park ground. Sam didn’t react when a woman with a blond ponytail jogged from a side path on to the main park circle and head toward Steve.
“On your left.”
Steve had to look twice when he was passed by a jogger who was distancing them self so fast he couldn’t get a good look.
“On your left”
“What? Come on!” Steve yelled starting to chase the jogger now.
Eventually stopping at the bench Sam had claimed she stood grinning as she watched Sam laughing from his spot on the ground since he fell off the bench laughing. “Hi Steve. I’m Buffy.”
“Who are you?” Steve asked amazed that someone out ran him.
“I’m a friend of Sam and he asked if I could help him with something. He said this was a nice place for a morning jog and it is.” Buffy explained reaching down to grab Sam’s hand and pull him up to standing.
“How do you know each other?”
“I went to high school with Buffy. We were in different grades and knew of each other and her work brought us in contact a few months ago and we got to talking. I called her because my sister’s birthday is next week and I need help finding a gift.” Sam explained as Buffy bounced on her toes excited to go shopping.
“It’s nice to meet you Buffy and I now get your aggravation with me in the morning.” Steve said grinning at the pair.
“That doesn’t mean you’re going to stop anytime soon does it?”
“Nope.” Steve answered grinning.
“You are an ass. Come on Buffy. Steve can pay for breakfast today.”
