<em>"I hope you don't mind me sitting down for a bit, but I see you around, and I don't think we've properly met. I'm Kassie."</em><br/><br/>"Ryan, pleased to finally make your acquaintance." He shook the offered hand firmly, noting that her grip wasn't feeble either. Obviously she was a woman who knew what she wanted, and how to get it - all the better in Ryan's book, these were character traits that he favored. Not to mention her figure, which was breathtaking in the clothes she wore. It wasn't like he had never seen her at the gym, but not up so close.<br/><br/>"You are a regular at the gym, right? I thought I had recognized you from somewhere, therefor the... hard stare," he explained, flashing her a quick smile. If she was, then she was a regular at the gym pool, and Ryan didn't want to imagine what guys were doing in the shower stalls after having seen Kassie in a swimsuit. "But I guess you must be used to guys staring at you."<br/><br/>He looked over at the table, where two more guys were sitting. "I don't mind... have a seat. Mind me buying you some drink? Your order, my buy?"
