I read Megan's note three times before I was able to set it back down.
"I'd be happy to show you the city!" It read, followed by her number.
"Just the city, huh...? That's all you wanna show me?" I said sarcastically out loud to myself with a small laugh. Echoing in the bathroom ever so slightly.
I looked down at the clock, 7:15. I couldn't text her yet. That would seem entirely too eager...wouldn't it? But I wanted to. Well, I wanted to do more than text her. I wanted her here...back in my room. Back in my bed. Naked. Doing all those lovely things she had done to me.
I stood there looking in the mirror, at the counter in the hotel bathroom. The tile cold on my bare feet. I had woken up in the buff, but I found the white hotel robe before making my way into the bathroom. My long, dark red hair was a mess but I didn't care. I splashed some water on my face as I found myself recalling the events of the night before. It all happened so fast.
One minute we were sipping some drinks at a wedding. The next...well, she was pushing me down on the bed and putting on a strip show for me. Of course, I couldn't complain. I loved her petite, fit, frame. Over the past few years I'd started working out and I admired how good she looked. I tried picturing her naked and realized that the room was too dim, or it all happened in such a blur that I couldn't recall some of the more...intimate areas of her body. But I certainly remembered how she tasted, and I was dying for that again.
For me though, Megan's looks were quickly overshadowed by her confidence. I'm a sucker for a woman who knows what she wants, and Megan wasn't shy to take control. It made it even sexier to me that she was at least ten years my junior. Maybe even fifteen. It had been a while since I'd been with a woman so confident and so in control in the bedroom. But it was very welcomed.
I made my way back into the living area and sat down on the edge of the bed. Opening the drawer to the night stand and pulling out the room service menu. As much as I wanted to get out, I decided to order a bowl of greek yogurt and a side of berries to the room. Complete with a black coffee, of course. I looked down at the clock. 7:30. Could I text her yet? I sighed out loud to myself and thought no.
"8:00. That'll be good." I said out loud as I stood up and almost started pacing. "8:00. Yeah...that seems...reasonable." I tried to encourage myself as I walked across the room to open the curtains. I saw what I thought was my pair of panties from the night before, and then I saw a second matching pair on the chair in the corner. I smiled as I wondered whose was whose. She must have been in a hurry to get out of here. Do I return them or...?
"No you don't return them!" I said to myself out loud as I opened the drapes. I looked down to see plenty of people out and about. My room looked out onto the river and I saw a couple boats already going by. One looked like a guided tour of some kind.
I've always been somewhat of an exhibitionsist. For some reason putting on a show or the thought of getting caught has always excited me. I knew I was high enough up that no one could see me, but I found it thrilling to let my robe open. I stood there for a little while with all of me on display. Slightly hoping that someone had a pair of binoculars. It was only when I heard a knock on the door that I jumped slightly and turned around. Remembering the room service. I tied up my robe and made my way to the door.
"Thank you...thank you," I said politely as I let the younger man in. I quickly tipped him and he was on his way. I enjoyed my yogurt and berries, waiting for the coffee to cool. Some mindless tv on in the background. And then I finally saw the time. 8:02.
I picked up her note and pulled up my text messages. Typing her number in. My hands almost shaking in excitement. How had I not thought about what to say? How do I not seem too eager, but...eager enough? Wait, why would I be eager? Maybe I just play it cool..somehow. I was terrible at this.
Me: "Hey! I was worried I'd scared you off or something. Glad I found your note. Hope your morning is off to a good start!" Send.
There. That's innocent enough, right? I re-read the message a couple times after I'd sent it. Not that it would do any good. Just as I took a sip of my coffee my phone lit right back up.
Megan: "I'm glad too. :)"
That's all it said. So short. Maybe she was busy...? I wondered to myself. And then another one came in. Followed by one more.
Megan: "You get a workout in yet?"
Megan: "I'm booked most of the day but my 10:30 cancelled. You in?"
I sat there staring at my phone for a bit. I definitely needed to workout. Did she mean we'd workout together or...would she be my trainer? I guess it didn't matter too much.
Me: "Yeah! Of course. Just tell me where!"
Megan sent another message quickly with the name of the gym and the address. And then she added,
Megan: "Oh, and bring a change of clothes. The locker room is basically a spa. You might want to relax after."
I finished up my light breakfast and walked over to my bag. Pulling out a pair of black Lululemon pants and a fitted, pink tank top. Laying them out on the bed, I dug through my suitcase until I found my black sports bra. It was cute with thin straps in the back that criss crossed. I sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled my pants on. I rarely wore underwear working out and today was no exception. Finally throwing on my pink top, I checked myself in the mirror and gave a spin. I pulled my red hair into a pony tail, and completed the look with a black Nike hat.
I decided to head down to the street and walk around a bit as I had some time. Checking out a few stores along the way, and making note of some that I wanted to come back to when I had more time. I made my way into a Nike store and bought a brand new pair of workout shoes just for this. I didn't want to look like I didn't know what I was doing.
Finally, I grabbed a 45 minute Uber out of downtown and to the gym.
It was huge, I was amazed. The biggest gym I'd ever been in by far. Two levels. It could've been a mall it was so big. As I walked in the front door I was almost in awe of how clean and inviting the environment was. Tile floors, granite countertops on the front desk, this place had to cost a fortune.
"Welcome to Life Gym!" The girl behind the front desk said with a smile. I think she could tell I was new as I wasn't simply scanning my key card and walking by.
"Hi! Thank you! It's my...I haven't been here before. I'm...working out with uh..."
I felt a little weird, not knowing exactly what to say. And I definitely didn't know her last name.
"Oh! You must be Jennifer!" She cut me off with a smile. "Megan told me to be expecting you. Welcome!" She motioned me by the front desk as she somehow radio'd to Megan that I'd arrived. "She should be down soon...if you'd like to have a seat over there.." She pointed over to a waiting area with leather couches. I smiled and thanked her.
I didn't sit though, I wandered around a bit to see what I could see from the big waiting area. It looked like all the machines were upstairs. And down the hall to my left was some sort of a hair and nail salon. "At a gym...?" I said out loud to myself. "I wanna go here..." I said under my breath as I turned to start walking towards it.
"You look like you could use a tour." I heard a familiar voice behind me.
Turning around I smiled, "Megan!!" We greeted each other with a small hug. She had a big smile on her face.
"I"m so glad you could make it! Welcome! This is....where I work!" She was beaming. And she looked so very good. She was wearing a pair of black and gray camo pants with a white, fitted sport t shirt. It looked like it might have had the gym's logo on it. Complete with a pair of black and white shoes. She looked so fit, almost intimidating. And so...hot.
She checked her watch, "We have about fifteen minutes if you want a quick tour before we get going? We gotta start at 10:30 if you want the full hour...that is, if you think you can handle an hour." She said with a twinkle in her eye as we walked together down a hall. Plenty of people around us. It was a very busy place but it was so big it didn't feel stuffy.
"Oh I think you know I can handle it...I hope.." I said, trying to sound confident.
"Sorry to leave and all..." She said a little awkwardly. I could tell she was trying to be somewhat secretive as there were people all around.
"No, no need to apologize at all! I totally get it." I tried to assure her. "I had a great time." I said sincerely. "Sorry that I just kinda passed out, I....feel bad I didn't get to....ya know..." I tried hinting at the fact that I didn't think she came.
"No need to apologize." She said right back to me, echoing my words with a smile. "I kinda enjoy that...role, if you get what I'm saying." She tried to say discretely.
I smiled back, feeling a little more at ease now. I didn't want her to think I was selfish and it sounds like we both had a great time. She wouldn't have invited me if she didn't, right?
"Okay, so...might as well start here so you get your bearings. Locker room. Here's ours..." She said as we made our way in. Beautiful gray tile floor throughout. I looked around to see many rows of lockers. I tried not to stare at the various women changing as I walked by, though some made it hard not to. I'd been in a locker room obviously, plenty of time. This one just seemed...classier. Maybe because it likely cost a fortune to be a member here. I picked a locker, threw my bag in, and typed in the code.
Across from the row of lockers was a very long countertop with probably ten sinks and all of the amenities I could ever ask for.
Back down the other way was a row full of private showers with frosted glass doors. And then I saw the doors for the steam room, sauna, and whirlpool area as I made my way back further.
