Damn what a week.
Monday seemed like a month ago after the blur of the last five days. Non-stop meetings and deadlines had me feeling like a spring wound just a little bit too tight. Tonights session in the gym though, just what I needed. Each rep of the routine, every chance to slam the weights felt like another annoyance of the week dropping off my shoulders. As usual I left class exhausted but giddy with endorphins playing merry havoc on me.
After the post class chat I walked briskly back to my car, the chill air biting into my tights. The sweater over my sport top doing nothing to stop the freezing damp breeze cutting through me. Hopping into my car I turned up the heat, cursing halfheartedly as the cold air blasted though the vehicle. Quick check of my phone found 3 email waiting. I looked at the clock and with a smile closed the email and checked my notes. Whatever it was will wait I thought with a smug smile.
I had a reminder to drop by the store to pick up some more supplements. I looked at the clock again and figured, meh only take a minute and save me a run tomorrow. Blasting the radio I pulled out of the lot on my way, head bobbing along with the music. The drive to the store, quick hop downtown really, only took the usual ten minutes so I was still giddy when I arrived. The lots in front of the store were empty, hardly suprising on a friday night, so I was able to pull right up. Leaving my now warm car to get back into the cold air was less than fun as I hopped over the snowbank onto the sidewalk and entered the store.
The store was so warm when I went in I let out a big sigh as the door closed behind me. I looked to the counter as I heard the light laugh.
"Oh hey Cindee!" I said wiping my shoes on the mat.
"Hi, Crossfit or climbing night?"
Cindee was a shorter girl, maybe 5'6, with shoulder length blond hair framing a somewhat broad face. A amature powerlifter, aiming for the olympics in the next couple years, she is powerfully built in her short stature. Sitting on the stool behind the counter I felt a moment of envy looking at her shoulders and arms filling out the light zip up jacket she was wearing.
"Crossfit night." I said with a smile looking her way. I brushed a imagined hair from my forehead, my hair in a ponytail for class, as I stepped inside.
"Ah ok," she said slipping off her stool and walking around the counter. "So what are you needing tonight then?"
Despite myself I chuckled slightly with the question.
"Oh you know," laughing, "bit more pre-workout and I'm low on protien shakes."
I always admired Cindee's physique and couldn't help but enjoy watching her walk around the counter. Her legs in the black tights looked so powerful and shapely, the swell of her calfs and thighs flowing into an amazing shaped ass. Her broad shoulders, the zipped down top really accentuating the look, seemed to sway as she walked toward me.
Standing beside me, shoulders almost touching my side, I felt a tightness in my chest. Looking over the selection on the shelves I couldn't help but feel her presence beside me, slightly in awe of the younger woman. I inhaled quietly, the smell of her flooding my brain for the moment and I felt myself leaning her way oh so slightly so we just barely touched.
Was it the post workout endorphines? I don't know. We chatted about what I was currently using and I know I heard her reccomendations, but I was not listening. My eyes kept slipping past the shelves to look down at her, the feel of her standing so close, a never ending distraction. Did she notice I was barely paying attention? Did she notice me leaning closer?
She moved to the side a moment to grab a container of a different pre-workout and my eyes slipped across her chest.
"Hey is that new?" I said suddenly.
Cindee had a smaller breasts, not like my annoying DD's, but with the top zipped down of her jacket I couldn't help but notice the large tattoo in her clevage.
Pausing in her supplement talk a moment she blushed lightly. "Is what new?"
"The tattoo!", I said leaning forward, " When did you get that?"
Her fingers brushed against her cleavage, slightly self conscious. "Oh about a week ago. Had it done over across the way there." Nodding to the parlour across the park.
