Reilly pulled her green sweatshirt over her light blue Calvin Klein bra. Grabbing her brush from the counter, she pulled it softly through her freshly cleaned medium length red hair, parting it down the side like usual. She stuffed the brush into her gym bag before jumping into her favorite pair of jeans. The highlights on the dark wash, high waisted, skinny jeans made her ass and legs look amazing. She'd worked for a year and a half to look this hot, and she was only too happy to reap the reward of the long hours invested into her fitness. She turned and looked over her shoulder at her backside in the mirror, then to the side to admire her tiny waist, but rounded ass, justly proud. She slid into her wood wedges and sauntered confidently out into the main area of the gym. She pretended not to notice the guy in the orange tank top on the treadmill, who nearly fell from trying to catch a glance. She didn't blame him, but it still made her feel a little self-conscious.
Reilly waved a goodbye to the guy behind the counter before exiting the large grey building into the brightness of the morning. Pulling her keys out of her adidas gym bag, she unlocked her sleek, tiny, dark blue car and opened the door, tossing her gym bag a little haphazardly into the passenger seat where it fell unhappily onto the floor. The second she turned the key in the ignition she got a notification ding on her phone. Now thoroughly regretting the willy-nilly treatment of her gym bag, she leaned over, pinching her outer thigh on the seat-belt fastener.
She let out a small yelp as she yanked her gym bag back off of the floor and rustled through it to find her phone. Reilly opened her phone, confronted with a Facebook "memories" notification from 2 years ago. She practically glared at the phone as it pulled up not only a picture, but bitter memories. Things she had tried hard to forget. The man standing next to her in the photo was her ex-boyfriend James. Tall, handsome, charming... a little too charming. The bastard had left her for her "best friend" and they had flown off to Rome to get married a month afterward.
She tightly shut her eyes, resisting the tears welling up from the betrayal and alienation the whole thing had caused her. She remembered all too well his "reasons" for leaving. She was overweight, and not "fun" anymore. And he couldn't stand the idea of making love to her, let alone spending his whole life with her. The words cut so deeply. Opening her eyes again she stared at the girl in the photo. 5'4", 180lbs, happy.
