Today was going to be a productive day.
Holly had quit the gym a while ago. She hadn't had a proper work out since first moving to New York. She needed to find a release, and get fit again. Browsing through some of the local ads, she found an opening for a lady's only boxing taster session. It was worth a shot, she though, it seemed interesting, and it was lady's only- even though the instructor was a guy. But she would feel more at ease without the added pressure of a room potentially filled with men who were likely to ogle. Holly called the number to see when the next class was and to book a place. The next available class, to her delight, was late this afternoon, and there was one spot left. Holly took the opportunity and signed herself up. The rest of the afternoon consisted of a weekly chat on the phone to Carrie. Holly updated her on her new found friends, and told her that she finally felt settled in New York. She didn't tell her about her ongoing writing project just yet, she wanted to keep this to herself for a little while. Carrie was happy for her.
Holly had finished the painting for the gallery. Carrying it across town was a feat in itself. The picture was wrapped in bubble wrap and paper but it wasn't exactly small in size. Finally Holly arrived at her destination and delivered it to the front desk, slightly out of breathe. After filling out some paperwork and bidding Gerald, the curator a good afternoon, Holly waved her art piece goodbye and headed back home.
There was no point in showering if Holly was to get hot and sweaty at the boxing session, so she pulled on some tight joggers, and a grey tight fitting tank top. She took a picture and sends it to Seb as she poses in front of her floor length mirror.'Taking a boxing class.'
It piques his interest as soon as it arrives, he's in the lunch hall having a quick break from set. Holly sends another picture his way of her standing outside the studio. 'I can't wait for you to show me some moves.' He replied. Holly smirked to herself.
Wow! That was... Interesting. Holly had learnt so much. Self defense was a big part of boxing and she had enjoyed the session very much. The instructor was offering five free sessions so Holly decided to take the opportunity. There were a handful of girls there that Holly had got talking too, she had been paired up with a woman named Anna. Anna was a little younger than her, and to Holly's amazement she worked for a well known publishing company. After talking about what each other did for a living, and exchanging numbers, Anna had offered to go over Holly's story. Holly was reluctant but said she would think it over.
Sebastian would be home in a matter of days. After hopping out of her morning shower, drying off and continuing on with her morning routine, Holly fetched her camera. She downloaded some of the pictures to her phone. She wanted to share some of them with Seb, she had yet to send him the pictures from their first day exploring the national park together. Holly made sure to set the picture of the two of them by the waterfall, Sebastian kissing her cheek, as her screen saver. It made her smile. With no phones allowed on set, Sebastian didn't receive the pictures until late in the day. They were the highlight of his evening as he sat with Anthony, his co-star, eating dinner on the lot. Anthony had peared over his shoulder as the pictures came through.
"Who's that?" He pointed out.
"That is Holly. And it's none of your business." He tried to throw his friend off, but it wasn't that easy. Anthony hounded Sebastian everyday as he asked question after question.
"Is that your girlfriend?"
Seb wasn't going to give in that easily. He enjoyed tormenting Anthony.
Anna had invited Holly out to coffee. Coffee was becoming a regular occurance for Holly now. Anna wanted to know more about the story she had been working on. Holly wasn't sure she wanted to share it, she was her own worst critic.
