ER [wlw]

Chapter 6

I step into Eve's Harmony, with my small drawstring gym bag over my shoulder. Five minutes to spare before the boxing class starts. I chose to take the morning class, since I'm getting my baby from school today.

As I walk to the front desk. I notice there is nothing related to boxing in the gym. It literally looks the same.

Shit, was I supposed to go to a different building? I swear Grace told me the classes would be here.

Grace smiles at me when I've stopped at the desk. "Good morning, Emma."

I smile back a little tight lipped. "Good morning, uhm, are the boxing classes canceled for today or am I just at the wrong place?"

"No, the boxing classes are done in the Boxing Gym." She points in the direction of two double glass doors. That I've never really give much thought.

A breath of relief leaves me and I chuckle. "Right. Also, was I supposed to buy my own boxing gloves?" I ask just be sure, that's another question that I didn't know the answer.

"No, just tell Ramona you need gloves and hand wraps we have loaner ones."

"Ok, thanks."

"No problem." She smiles kindly.

I walk in the direction of the double doors. I'm honestly shocked by what I see when I walk in. It's huge. It's literally like a whole different gym. There are two huge boxing rings the stand out in the center, then s row of punching bags, speed bags, and dummies are spaced out.

It's pretty impressive, Rani's really outdid herself with this. This is probably where she is when I don't see her in the other gym.

There are a few women around doing their own thing. While I spot Rani adjusting a speed bag, In her tight leggings and tank top get up. Something similar to what I'm wearing.

Except I have to admit she looks better than in the skin tight clothing, her muscles very defined. She just has a nice body.

I mean mine isn't terrible but I still have a little excess skin on my belly from having Bellamy, along with stretch marks.

Gripping the strap of my gym bag I walk up to her. She notices me when I'm right In front of her.

Her lips form a small smirk when her eyes meet mine. "I was surprised to see you signed up."

"Yeah, thought it might be fun." Really it just acts as another distraction from what I have to deal with at work. "Grace said you'd have some gloves and hand wraps I can borrow."

"Yeah, over there." She points to a rack with a bunch of boxing gear. "Just pick what fits you best but don't put any of it on yet." Ok, so far she isn't being rude.

"Thanks." I smile genuinely before walking over to the rack. I try on some gloves until I find a pink pair that fits me right, then I go with some pink hand wrap.

Holding it all with my hand I turn around, my eyes immediately meeting Rani's for a split second as she sits on a wooden bench.

She looks away so fast and stands up that I almost think I was imagining it. Why was she staring at me?

Probably judging me.

I sigh, feeling insecure. I really wish I could change my past but I can't.

"Alright ladies, come on it's time to get started."

She gains their attention just like that and they're all gathered around in front of her neatly spaced out on a section of the gym that is clear except for a huge Matt under us, I find my self a spot in the back. My gym I set be side my feet.
