Wednesday night at the gym; all was quiet and I was knackered!
I was just finishing my last set of weights as I noticed her grabbing her mat and laying it out in a small space between the machines on the floor. She sat down on it and started to stretch out before starting her routine. For a moment I sat and watched, transfixed. This girl could bend in places I didn’t think I had places!
I wandered over, pretending not to look, and grabbed a mat, laying it near hers. I too sat down and started to stretch out. She was resting on her left knee and stretching her right leg out in front of her. Wanting to catch her attention, and letting my male bravado get the better of me, I attempted to copy the move, thinking to myself, ‘Looks easy enough!’
Then I fell over with a thump. She looked over her shoulder at me as I hastily tried to regain my composure. “Slippery mat,” I said. Unconvincingly. She smiled as I made a second attempt to replicate the manoeuvre – after all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
This time, as my face slapped the vinyl covering she let out a giggle and collapsed herself – in a much more dignified fashion than I had managed on either of my attempts! As she rolled onto her back laughing out loud, holding her sides, presumably to stop them splitting at my expense, I saw an opportunity that I felt I had to seize.
I was leaning over her and tickling her, and she was helpless, no longer laughing at my lack of balance or feeble attempts to keep up with her, but because she couldn’t help it.
Then we made eye contact. The most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen; blue-grey, round and framed with perfect lashes. I slowed my efforts until they were non-existent and moved towards her lips. She raised her head to meet me. We kissed. Her lips parting slightly as I pushed gently with my tongue, letting it slide against hers in her mouth and back out again.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and lifted her hips so I could get my own arms around her back. She pulled me on top of her and tightened her grip. I felt her hands running down my back and just thought ‘thank fuck no-one’s in today!’
I pulled her into a sitting position and suggested we go somewhere less public. She looked at me and nodded, the same lust in her eyes as I knew was in mine. We both quickly ran to grab our stuff from the changing rooms and within minutes we were heading out of the gym and to my house.
