*Alarm clock on phone goes off *

Ugh, time to get up i guess as i think to myself and stretch as far as i can. I grab my phone from over my bed headboard and see that it's 1:34pm with it labeled "gym time".

I get up from my bed and look at myself in mirror as i stand at 5" 11 with a average kinda body few extra pounds showing mostly thru my belly haha and a little curly kinky afro from a twist out a few days prior. The suns shines thru my blinds revealing my darkish brown skin as i examine my body and think about what to do at gym this morning.

I get dressed as fast i can and grab my jacket and book bag packed with my gym clothes as I head out my bedroom. I rush down stairs and out the front door as a shock of cold air hits me in my face forgetting it was going be windy today. I slowly walk down the two to three steps covered in snow and begin walking to the gym and playing music through my phone and listening thru my earphones to distract me from the cold weather.

Fast forward a bit I'm at the gym and pull out my gym membership card to check in at front desk and head to locker room slowly taking off my snowy attire and shaking it off before hanging up in locker. So just standing there in my underwear and socks and no one around I look in long mirror they have in locker room to see how much I have accomplished with my weight loss journey.

I put on some shorts and a shoulder cut shirt and head to the treadmill. I do a quick leg stretch and get on treadmill and as I start it up I look on my phone and get on a certain gay app which is Grindr don't judge me haha . I use it mostly to make friends which I know everyone says but i mean it , I mean i maybe hook up every blue moon but that it. I scroll thru messages of spam ,dick and ass pics and guys saying they want to have sex. As I start from top to delete the message i notice someone sent me a normal "Hello" and I replied"Hi" and close my phone as i get back to working out. Looking around gym at other people working out and nice there body is and can't wait to get there no matter how long it takes me.

About 25 mins has passed and i start to slow treadmill down and check my Grindr message and the guy from earlier replied saying"How are you"

"I'm ok yourself" i said and he replied instantly

"That's good and I'm doing great I really like your picture and your info in your description box , my name is Wayne "

"Nice to meet you Wayne im Devon "
