Lori always loved working out. She went to the gym four times a week to do aerobics, swim, workout on the machines...just about everything. She liked staying in shape, and it really showed.
She was a knockout. Whenever she was working out on the machines, the guys around would be checking her out. Without realizing it, they would just stare at her as if she was one of those magic eye pictures that you have to focus on to see. She knew they were looking and it didn't bother her one bit. She'd put a lot of effort into this body and was proud of the results.
When Lori worked out, she was almost oblivious to the people actually there. She knew they were around but she wouldn't have even recognized her own mother if she were there. Lori gets very focused during her workouts and is sometimes absent-minded.
Toward closing time, there weren't very many people left. After Lori got finished with the stair-stepping machine, she grabbed a towel and was wiping the sweat pouring from her forehead. She started walking to the shower room and ended up making a wrong turn...into the men's locker room.
She sat down on the bench and got undressed. Grabbing a towel from a stack, she headed for the shower stalls. As she passed one by, she noticed a man's feet poking out from under a stall. She looked around and realized what she had done, but before she could go back to get her things, the man stuck his head out to go grab the shampoo he forgot.
Lori looked at him and was pleasantly surprised. It was one of her best friends, Jared. He looked at her with the towel wrapped around her, chuckled and said, "Make a wrong turn, Lori?"
She kind of looked down and smiled, "Hi Jared...yeah."
Just then, they heard a couple of male voices coming into the locker room, so without thinking, Lori jumped into the stall with Jared and pulled the curtain closed.
He was quite surprised but pleasantly so. He had always thought Lori was gorgeous and wanted to take things further than friendship.
Lori whispered, "I'm sorry. I don't want to get kicked out of this club. I love it here, and--"
Jared put his finger up to her lips and smiled. "It's okay. I'm almost done with my shower and then you can take yours. I promise I won't peek if you won't."
She looked around, obviously a little flustered and finally managed to say, "Okay."
