BEST WORKOUT
He was getting his daily sweat on at the tony fitness club he belonged to. It was the kind of place people pay too much to join so they can be left alone to lift weights in a plush, air-conditioned facility. All around were the usual suspects. Former athletes, D list actors and actresses, the bored (and most likely horny) housewives trying a little too hard with too much make-up on and the rail thin barbies doing unnecessary extras on the treadmill trying to work off today's kale salad lunch so that heaven forbid they don't gain an ounce. Everybody was wearing the latest Beats or Bose headphones so that there was no chance they would be expected to engage or acknowledge another human life form. This place was everything that people who are not from California use to illustrate what's wrong with California. Then he saw her and suddenly everything was different.
She was just his flavor. Tall with long shapely legs. Caramel complexion. A curvy figure with a nice round ass that the baggy workout shorts she was wearing couldn't begin to hide. Topped of with the perkiest pair of D cup breasts he had seen in a while. Back in the day they would have called her a stallion. He was looking and she was looking at him looking. Their eyes met and lingered and then they both went back to what they had been doing. He made every effort not to stare or be caught watching her but for the rest of his workout he was always aware of where she was and what she was doing.
After he finished, he headed for the locker room for the usual, Jacuzzi and a shower. As he dressed, he was kicking himself for not stopping to at least say hello to her. Chances are they wouldn't run into each other again since this wasn't his usual workout time. He was never one to approach women with some lame player line, but a simple hello wouldn't have hurt. He finished and checked the presentation in the mirror. Understated pin stripe suit, custom shirt open at the neck and his trade-mark French cuffs and cufflinks. Not bad for 50. He stood 6'3" and was only about 5 pounds from his goal weight of 230. A few beads of perspiration were on his cleanly shaved head, and he dabbed them with a towel. "I clean up well" he mused to himself. Too bad she couldn't see him now.
He grabbed his bag and walked out into the lobby. He was about to get the best surprise of the day. There she was sitting in the lounge area doing something on her iPad.
She had cleaned up too. Her hair was no longer pulled back and now hung on her shoulders in ringlet curls. Gone were the baggy workout clothes replaced by a designer wrap dress that clung to every curve and showed just enough cleavage to make his mouth start to water. On her feet were a pair of red bottom, peep toe, stilettos. Props for keeping the pedicure up, he thought. Perfect for a man with a foot fetish. As he approached, she looked up from whatever she was working on and said simply, "What's next?" "That depends", he replied, "You hungry?" She looked him up and down and said in her sultry voice, "What are you serving?" After a bit more banter he suggested they try the club's cafe even though it was over-the-top healthy, and always overpriced.
Over some chicken something-or-other he learned that her name was Jacqui, and she owned her own HR consulting business. "So that's how you get to work out in the middle
