Kathy threw the minivan in park and came to a stop in Gina's driveway. She felt a little guilty. Gina was her best friend at work and they had known each other for a little over a year. Gina had asked her to visit many times in the last couple months since her and Dave had bought their new house, but Kathy had two kids she was raising alone and when she wasn't working, she was at a school function or just playing taxi driver. It was hard to get away, but with the office shut down for the week and both kids in school, she finally had the chance for some time just for herself, and today she had promised Gina she would take some time for the much promised visit.
Whatever Gina had said about the new house couldn't begin to describe how awesome it looked. As her eyes scanned the landscaping and the two stories of red brick, she could only wish to someday live in a home like this. She wondered up to the door and shuffled the small housewarming gift she had brought from one hand to the other. Even the doorbell had a classy, rich sound to it.
Gina answered the door and flashed a big smile. "Come on in!" she laughed. "I was hoping you wouldn't come up with an excuse to get out of our date. I even picked up some of that flavored coffee cream you always hide in the fridge at work so no one else can use it all, just for this morning." Kathy slipped through the door and took in a deep breath at the vaulted ceilings and rich wood trim. "This place is so nice! Your description's didn't do it justice." Gina smiled a sincere thank you, and pulled Kathy off to the breakfast nook for some coffee.
After sipping coffee and trading office gossip, Gina asked Kathy if she wanted the "tour". "Heck yea! Lets see this place of yours" she replied. Off they went, Gina leading her from room to room and glowing with pride as she showed off her home. "And finally, my favorite room in the house" she said as she opened a door leading off the back of the main floor hallway. Inside was the most complete gym Kathy had ever seen, outside of a regular health club. Three machines were spread out across the floor, one of them Kathy didn't even recognize and the two of the others she wasn't even sure how they worked. Lined up against the wall, were pull up bars and sets of weights and barbells. What really caught her eye was in the far corner. A large, redwood sided Jacuzzi was steaming as the hot water slowly bubbled and spit.
"Holy shit, Gina!" Kathy gushed. "Do you guys actually use all this stuff?" Gina laughed. "Dave uses it. At least he says he does, but I use the one simple machine and then climb in the hot tub." Kathy just whistled a low whistle." I always wanted to get a membership at a gym, but with work and the kids, I wouldn't be able to use it enough to justify the cost." Gina just smiled. "Your welcome here anytime, but you already knew that. Wanna try some of this stuff out as long as you're here?" Kathy shuffled her feet a little. "I don't think your supposed to work out in jeans and a blouse, besides, I'm sure you have things to do, besides coach me on gym equipment all morning." Gina smiled again. "I have the entire day free, and besides, you're about the same size as me. I can loan you some shorts and a shirt. What do you say? Wanna give it a try?" Kathy laughed and nodded her head. "What the hell. Where do I change?
Kathy pulled the shorts on Gina had loaned her. They were shorter than she was used to, but baggy enough that she didn't feel too uncomfortable. The tank top was another thing. Kathy had fairly large breasts and the way the top was cut, her bra straps just plain looked stupid sticking out over her shoulders. She shrugged and thought what the hell. It was only the two of them and unhooked the bra, tossing it on top of her other street clothes. Slipping out of the guest room, she wandered into the gym and found Gina already peddling an exercise bike, her long blond hair swinging from side to side as she peddled the bike at a brisk speed. She had on shorts much like the ones she had loaned Kathy, and much to her relief, had also forgone a bra. The tank top was a little baggy on Gina, and her small breasts jiggled against the fabric unlike the way Kathy's stretched the cotton to it's limit.
