Shadows

Chapter 6- Kai

I knew that I wouldn't be able to head home until I spent some time in the gym tonight. Enike has unintentionally been a pain in my ass. She has been coming to work in either dressed or Jumpsuits that leave nothing to the imagination when it comes to her curves. I have had a few offers from women that come to the bar regularly, but I know that if there was a spark my job would be affected. With me being only 23 I should want to go out and live the dream, party and hookup. Growing up I have never had the chance to live my age, supporting yourself was key in my household. From the age of 10 jobs have been apart of my life, from sweeping my Uncles store, to bussing tables at the local diner for tips. Life has not been easy and knowing that I have made it makes up for never partying or dating much. On instinct I pull into the Gym that looks deserted, minus the Jeep parked a few spaces down. Looking into the window I see a brunette walking past the windows in black spandex and purple sports bra. I wait for her to get settled on the machine before I walk in, but when she turns towards the window, I decide to stay in the car a few minutes longer. Enike looks incredible, and not just because she has minimal clothing on. She is toned, more so than most women are. Her legs are long and muscular from running, and fit her body perfectly. On instinct I step out of the car and head inside. The locker room is hot and humid, and gets my mind of the bombshell that is working out just outside. When I head to the treadmill she looks lost in thought and does not acknowledge that I am even in her presence. I plug in my phone and select the loudest music that I have so I can forget Enike standing a few feet away. I only plan to run for a few minutes before starting on weights. Why did I have to choose today of all to come to the gym? The one place that I can let loose is being hindered by the reason I am here in the first place. After I run for a few minutes I realize I forgot my water bottle in the locker room. Stepping off the machine I run smack into a body, almost knocking Enike to the ground.

"I am so sorry I didn't realize that anyone was... Enike?" Genuine surprise is in my voice due to having to communicate with her. I know she is startled because she starts rambling, and her multi colored eyes that I love to look at, aren't making direct contact with me. She storms past me and heads straight to the door. Forgetting the reason I got off the machine in the first place I step back on the treadmill while tugging off my shirt due to the heat that has now engulfed my body. Glancing towards the door Enike and I locked eyes, my desire written all over my face. I watch her run out the door and jump into her vehicle, turning it on and throwing it into gear in record time.

I can't focus on anything but Enike for the rest of my workout, can't get the image of her in a sports bra and spandex. I feel hot and not just from the workout alone, knowing that I won't be getting any more fitness in I head home, a cold shower being first on the agenda.
