I had finally had enough of being out of shape and feeling completely useless, working the 2rd shift as a server admin didn't help the situation either it seemed since I was either sleeping, tired, or working. I found one of those 24 hour gyms near the office and signed up with the hopes of at least spending between 30-45 minutes there every night after my shift. I didn't really have high hopes my new workout plan would get me in shape, but I felt better knowing that I was at least trying something.
The first couple nights were slow going for me and I always seemed to be dragging since it was 2:30 in the morning and all I wanted to do was go home and get some sleep. As the days went on though I started to get more into a rhythm, although I was still desperately out of shape. I took comfort in knowing that I was the only one ever in the gym so nobody could see mw huff and puff as I went from the treadmill to the weights and back again.
On the third week of my training routine, someone finally walked it. They startled me at first since I wasn't used to anyone being there, but my startle suddenly turned into amazement when I saw who had just walked it. She was six foot tall with legs that went on forever and skin that was sunkissed bronze. Her heart shaped face was accented with the most beautiful green eyes could melt you with just one look and was topped of with a long dirty blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail. She wore tight black workout pants, an even tighter pink tanktop that stopped just above her belly button showing off a small, sparkling piecing, and bright pink shoes.
"Hello, didn't me to startle you," she said in an Australian accent and flashed a smile full of perfectly white teeth.
"Oh no worries, I just used to being in here myself," I stammered still trying to collect myself that this gorgeous women was here next to me.
"Well, since we're going to be workout mates," she said still smiling her bright smile. "My name's Heather."
"Nice to meet you," I said slowly getting my wits about me. "I'm Kevin."
She stepped up on the treadmill next to me and we chatted as we jogged along. I found out she was new to the area and had just taken up a job at the local hospital as a nurse working afternoons. She was delightful to talk to and I ended up working out for 30 minutes passed what I really wanted too, it was great. As we got ready to leave we agreed that we'd meet up tomorrow and I drove off on my way home feeling better than I had in a long time.
Our workout sessions went on for a couple more weeks and we quickly hit it off becoming friends. Her and I had a ton in common and it was great to talk to someone for a change since I mostly was devoid of social interaction.
Midway through our third week of our workout schedule, Heather met up as usual but seemed to be up to something.
