Rock Hard

by Ana Cristina

I honestly didn’t know why Mendez liked driving my car, especially since all he did was make fun of it.

“Jeez, nancy-boy, I know lawnmowers that go faster than this piece of junk.”

“So let me drive.”

“No way. I drive my cars like I drive my women – I’m always the one behind the wheel.”

I looked out the window to hide my smirk. Is this guy for real?

“So, this gym I’m taking you to? It’s called Rock Hard.”

“Rock Hard?!”

Mendez looked away from the road to leer at me. “Of course, that name could be used to describe many parts of my anatomy, not just my rock-hard abs.”

“Spare me the disgusting visual, Mendez,” I groaned. I quickly changed the subject: “Does Jodi know you have a life-size cut-out of her?”

“Sure. Who do you think posed for it?” He replied, grinning from ear to ear. “She thinks I should totally become an artist, like professional.”

“Hmm,” I said. Jodi’s either a great liar or has horrible taste.

Mendez turned suddenly morose. “You still have a thing for her, too. I can tell.”

    One little correction: this gym I’m talking you to. Was so engrossed in the funniness of it I didn’t pick it up the first time through.

    (sidebar: I can has sequel? followed by only if I can has cheezburger is probably the best sequence of comments I’ve ever read.)

    Quite possibly my favorite moment in the series. The name of the gym, Mendez’s commentary of his own rock hard body, and the ‘is this guy for real’ aspect made me laugh and laugh and laugh (every time I read it).
