Buttercup was alone at home this Sunday morning, shortly after breakfast her parents had to leave as her father had a function at the local university and they would only be back later in the evening.
Buttercup stared into the street below from her bedroom window and pondered if she should ask Mr. Greg, if she might use his gym on a Sunday, ever since she attended the bodybuilding show yesterday all she can think of is gaining muscle.
As she contemplated her dilemma she saw Laslo jogging past her house.
‘’Well if he is jogging in that direction he will probably run around the block, maybe I must run in the opposite direction and meet up with him?’’ thought Buttercup to herself.
Running wasn't Buttercups forte and soon she felt tired and just as she stopped to take a rest she spotted Laslo coming around the corner.
‘’What a surprise finding you here.’’ greeted Laslo.
Buttercup kneeling forward and resting her hands on her knees replied. ‘’ I prefer lifting weights and not doing cardio work.’’
‘’Yeah I can see that, by the way how is your armwrestling coming along?’’ ask Laslo.
‘’It's getting along great, I added about 6kg of muscle since the last time we arm wrestled.’’ replied Buttercup and proceeded flexing both her biceps.
Laslo's eyes grew and buttercup couldn’t determine if it was shock,admiration or intimidation.
‘’Gosh they are indeed bigger, I think they are bigger than mine.’’ said Laslo.
‘’Thank you, I especially like how my veins pop up when I flex.’’ said Buttercup as she traced the veins on her right bicep with her left index finger.
‘’They are way bigger and better defined than mine for sure, hey Buttercup, do you want to have an arm wrestling match again?’’ asked Laslo.
‘’Oh yes please.’’ replied Buttercup.
The two of them chatted casually as they walked towards Buttercup's home, with Buttercup explaining in detail about the event she attended the previous day.
Once the two of them reached Buttercup's home she offered Laslo a glass of orange juice and poured one for herself as well.
‘’Okay let's get ready.’’ said Buttercup as she sat at the kitchen table and Laslo did the same and sat opposite Buttercup and placed his right elbow onto the table ready to wrestle, the two of them clasped their hands together, Laslo could feel that in the last two months Buttercup’s grip strength increased.
‘’One, two, three and lets go.’’ exclaimed Buttercup excitedly.
Buttercup braced herself and was expecting Laslo to push her arm down like he did two months prior but to her astonishment she found that she held his arm steady even though Laslo was clenching his face in furious concentration.
Buttercup started giggling and with her left arm did a bicep pose whilst looking Laslo straight in his eyes.
‘’Guess my guns are to much for you.’’ giggled Buttercup.
‘’You are playing with me aren't you?’’ ask Laslo.
‘’Okay you ask for it.’’ said Buttercup as she pushed his arm down onto the table without exerting too much effort.’’
‘’You want to try again?’’ ask Buttercup.
‘’No I think you prove your point.’’ replied Laslo as he massage his right hand with his left.
‘’Please.’’ pleaded Buttercup looking at Laslo with puppy eyes.
‘’What if we start with my arm in a 45 degree angle towards the table in that way I will be at a disadvantage.’’ added Buttercup gleefully.
‘’Alright then.’’ replied Laslo.
The two of them clasped their hands together again this time with Buttercup arm close to her side of the table.
‘’One, two, three...’’ counted Buttercup.
Before she could say ‘’let's go’’ Laslo started pushing her arm down, but as soon as Buttercup realized this she stopped his advance and held his arm steady a mere inch away from the tabletop.
‘’You cheated!’’ pouted Buttercup as Laslo tried with all his strength but found that he couldn’t move her arm even with such a disadvantage to her.
‘’How strong are you?’’ ask Laslo.
‘’Stronger than you obviously, come on just try putting a little more power into it.’’ teased Buttercup.
Buttercup felt exhilarated and thrilled at how easily she could control Laslo’s arm and after holding and teasing him a bit she pushed his arm up then down.
‘’I win.'' Shouted Buttercup jumping triumphantly.
