Gym Class
I got up early this morning but not early enough because Mamoru was still gone when I awoke. I went about my normal morning routine except today I was wearing gym clothes, I has a yoga class at nine and I didn't want to be late. By eight thirty I was on the road and really glad that I knew the street way because there was sure to be traffic on the highway. When I got to the gym I went straight to my class, glad to see that it hadn't started without t me.
The class was long, but I know my body needed that work out. As I was walking out of the room I passed the boxing area and noticed someone was practicing alone. I saw the familiar short blonde hair and when she landed a good hit I was sure it was Haruka. I walked into the room and dropped by bad by the door gaining her attention. She looked and gave me a surprised smile, "Hey Usagi, what are you doing here?"
"Oh I take a yoga class here and we just finished up. I didn't know you came here too."
"Yea I usually try to come early in the morning so I can have the rooms mostly to myself." she smiled, "So how did your class go?"
"It was fine, a good work out."
"Oh you want a work out?" she laughed, "Let me show you a thing or two; grab those gloves."
I went to the right side of the room and put on the gloves. I didn't want her to think I couldn't handle whatever it was she was about to show me. She started off
by showing me some simple moves and we gradually progressed into harder ones. I learned both offensive and defensive moves that I knew would come in handy if I could remember them. The highlight of the lesson was flipping Haruka onto her back!
Who would've thought I could do that? I looked at her lying on the floor laughing and…here it goes again. Every time I'm alone with her and we're like this I get this feeling I can't explain. It's like being in high school all over again except this time I don't have to follow her after class. She got up and we headed for the locker room going straight to the lockers so we could take showers. As I walked to the bathroom I realized just how sore I was, the shower was looking better and better by the minute. I got under the water and sighed in relief as the water slid down my back relieving my aches.
I closed my eyes as I took in the feeling but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw when I opened them. She walked by in nothing and went to the shower on my left. I watched as she hung up her towel and turned on the water. It was as if every move she made hypnotized me; I realized I was staring and quickly looked the other way. I tried not to look but my curiosity wouldn't let me, I kept stealing glances whenever I thought she wasn't looking.
I looked up and met her eyes; I immediately looked away; knowing I would be blushing hard if I looked at her again. I hurriedly washed by body trying my best to avoid her eyes.
I felt her walk up behind me and touch my shoulder, "Its ok to look you know."
She smiled and I felt myself turning redder than before. She put her arm around my shoulder and I put my hand on her waist as out lips. I pulled her closer to me and under the water deepening our kiss. I was so wrapped up in her that I didn't hear anyone else in the room until the sound of another shower running made me back up.
I looked at her with mixed emotions, grabbed my towel and left the bathroom. I put my clothes on in record time and was out the door on my way home. The car ride home was silent because I didn't need music when I knew it wouldn't drown out my thoughts. What did I just do?
