If I had to make a list of all the things I might expect to see in the JFK airport waiting area, an Instagram model doing a full-blown yoga routine wouldn't even make it in to my top twenty, and, judging from the stares she was receiving, I wasn't alone.
The Instagram model in question was my girlfriend, Kat, and she appeared to be too focused on her 'downward-facing dog' to notice the effect her prominently displayed ass was having on the rest of the airport, but even if she had noticed, I doubt she would have cared. After all, she had over two hundred thousand followers that did nothing but salivate over her appearance daily; having people lust after her body was normal, and she wasn't shy about showing off all the hard work she put into it.
She was a blonde with shoulder length hair and a slim physique, but the yoga pants and skintight tank-top she was wearing did an excellent job of highlighting her every curve as she did her routine. I couldn't really blame people for staring; her modest but respectable breasts, her donkey-kicked-to-perfection butt, and her well-toned 'everything else' provided a nice distraction from the boredom as they waited for the plane to start boarding. I was about to join them when Kat suddenly spoke to me.
"Babe, could you go get me a protein bar from that place we passed earlier?", she said as she restarted her routine.
I winced. We'd been walking around a lot today, doing some last minute prep for the flight, and I hadn't exactly chosen the best footwear. My feet were killing me, and I feared my toes would start a mutiny if I took any unnecessary steps, so I tried to weasel my way out of her request.
"Come on, don't make me move," I said in a fake whine that wasn't really fake, "I just got comfortable. Besides, you're already standing; why do you want me to do it?"
"Because I know your feet hurt and I want to torture you," she said with an impish grin on her face.
"Bitch."
She let out a laugh. "Come on, just do it. It's, like, a thirteen hour flight to Dubai, right? The movement will be good for you." She changed poses and added, "As a matter of fact, you should probably get over here and join me."
Fattest chance in hell of that happening
, I thought to myself, and although I appreciated her concern for my health, I still wanted nothing more than to sit on my ass while I stared at hers. However, Kat was a stubborn girl and she wasn't likely to change her mind about the protein bar now that she'd brought it up. Fortunately for me though, I knew her weakness.
I pulled my suitcase in front of me, propped my elbow up on it with my hand sticking straight up in the air, and said the magic words: "Arm wrestle ya for it."
I'd been dating Kat for nearly three years, ever since freshman year of college, and if there was one thing that I'd learned about her in all that time, it was that she's competitive to a fault. She never runs from a challenge, and her pride prevents her from going back on her word if she loses. It's something that I'd always respected about her, even if I sometimes used it to my advantage.
Kat eyed my arm dubiously from her 'front bend' pose. "Make it a thumb war and you're on."
Shit
, I thought. I should have known better. Sure, Kat works out, but she focuses on toning and flexibility, not strength. She's well aware of the difference in strength between us and wouldn't fall for such an obvious trap.
"Fine, thumb war it is," I said in resignation.
"And give me a handicap," she said as she came over to me, "you have to pin me for five seconds for a win, and I have to pin you for three."
"Fine, fine," I said, not feeling so clever anymore.
We each took hold of one another's hand in the thumb war position.
"Best two out of three," she said, "loser gets the protein bar. Ready?"
"Ready," I replied as I prepared to fight for the honor of my aching feet.
Together we recited the ritual like a couple of full grown children:
"One, two, three, four. I declare thumb war."
"Five, six, seven, eight. Better keep your thumb straight."
As soon as we finished the chant, Kat tried to get an easy win by quickly pulling my hand towards her to disorient me and then attempted to pin my thumb down.
"Cheater!" I hissed as I pulled our hands back to the starting position while skillfully dodging her attacking thumb.
"All's fair in love and war!" she shot back with a big grin on her face. After a few more seconds of twisting and pulling from Kat, I managed to fake her out and pin her.
"One, two, three, four, five. That's one win for me!" I said, glad to have won in spite of her dirty tricks.
"Shit," she grumbled. "Come on, let's go again."
We started the second round and Kat went right back to using her under-handed tactics to try and pull out a win. We were both cursing and taunting one another playfully when I heard the sound of laughter coming from somewhere behind me and turned my head reflexively to find the source. As soon as I did so, I found myself staring into the strikingly blue eyes of a black woman seated a few rows away from us. She was covering her mouth with her hand as she watched our match as if she were trying to stop herself from laughing again.
The surprising image of a black woman with blue eyes distracted me just long enough for Kat to pin my thumb down and get a three count.
"One! Two! Three! Yes! I beat you!" she cheered, causing the people seated nearby to give her funny looks while the black woman started laughing again.
"Yea, yea, whatever. Come on, final round," I said, pushing distractions from my mind and, quite literally, focusing on the battle at hand.
We began the third round and, this time, I joined Kat in her dirty play, twisting and pulling her hand as I tried to get a hold of her dancing thumb. However, sinking to her level only resulted in her sinking even lower, blowing air in my face and trying to block my view of our hands with her body; She even tried to bite me at one point.
We were laughing like a couple of idiots the entire time and I heard a few other people in the waiting area laughing as well, including the black woman behind us. I'd almost forgotten the purpose of our little game when Kat, in the middle of another illegal maneuver, accidentally stepped on my toe causing me to wince a little at the sudden sharp pain.
Right
, I thought,
I need to put an end to this
