6. Keep It Real According To Loso.

___________________________

I decided to get up bright and early just to get to the gym. I was supposed to go the day after my binge but got lazy. Since I had drowned myself in everything fatty I could find a few nights ago it made me feel like I was carrying extra weight around.

It was around 5:30 and I wanted to work out for an hour then get home to change and get cleaned up before heading to my classes.

I set my gym bag in my gyn locker and headed out to the machines. I had a love for the treadmill. Why? Because there was a TV on them and I could watch my shows while I ran. I enjoyed that very much.

I set the incline to 2 and the pace to 5. I looked around saw 2 other men that were using the other equipment. This gym was pretty much empty and I couldn't have been happier.

I was all into my game show, Jeopardy, till I felt a tap on my shoulder. I stopped the treadmill and looked over my shoulder.

"Aye Ebony." Vontae said as he looked me down. I was in some shorts, which I felt were a little too short but they were pink so I couldn't part with them, and a black T-Shirt that I was probably sweating profusely into. Thankfully it was too dark to see the sweat marks.

"Hi Vontae." I said kinda softly. I felt like I was completely naked in front of him. His comment still very fresh in my mind from the other night.

"I didn't see you for the past couple of nights. Where you been?" He asked leaning against my treadmill. He still looked just as good as I remembered, if not better.

"I had other things to do." Like be fat and sit at home on my couch eating deep fried everything as I watched reality TV, then continue to do that for a few more days. "Why does it even matter to you?"

"I wanted to apologize for the comment I said the other night." What the hell? "I shouldn't have said that to you, Ebony. I was judgin'."

"I have my judgements about you too but I don't spit them at you. I need to finish my work out, can you please excuse yourself." I put my earbuds back in and tried to figure out how to get my channel back.

"Fuckin' rude ass bitch." He said probably thinking I wouldn't hear, before walking away.

"Fuck you too Vontae! Catch an STD and sit down from all that Gang Bangin'!" I yelled after him, making sure he heard. The two other men looked up at me with confused looks on their faces. Vontae just flipped me off and slammed the gym door.

He comes in here to apologize and then ends up being an asshole all over again. What the hell was the point of that? I just hate the fact he's still so incredibly sexy, but he's so- this isn't fair. At all.

I was finally done with my workout and headed back to my locker to grab my towel. I wiped all the sweat that clung to my face and neck, off before putting the towel back in the bag.

I hopped into my car and saw the parking lot start to fill up with more and more cars. I didn't think very many people still used the gym anymore, I use it only for times like this, otherwise my locker just stays there collecting dust.

Since Loso is back in the picture, I've started to develop the habit of looking at every single car, just to see if I could find him. It shouldn't be hard since he's the only one with a Maybach but I couldn't find his car anywhere.

I got home without a Loso encounter and raced inside, pretty much stripping all the way to the bathroom. I was running a little bit later than I expected.
