Late evening at the gym
It was late in the evening when Timo entered the almost empty gym. The last rays of sunshine illuminated the wall bars as he removed his gym bag. He had a long day at work behind him and training was harder than usual for him today. But the empty machines and the quiet atmosphere made him relax quickly.
As he warmed up, he noticed her: a woman in a tight sports bra and leggings, who was just getting ready for the next cardio machine. Her long, dark hair fell over her shoulders and the concentrated way she moved magically attracted him.
He couldn't help but look over at her again and again. When she finally looked up and smiled at him, his heart felt a small leap. She approached him, and as he returned with a smile, a game of glances began.
“Hey, I'm Julia,” she said as she moved almost timidly from one machine to the next. He introduced himself and they quickly found a common topic of conversation about fitness. As the minutes passed, the training was long forgotten, and the chemistry between them grew stronger.
She suddenly asked: “Are you up for a little challenge? Which of us is the first to hold a plank for two minutes? “Timo grinned. “Of course! ” he answered. “But if I win, you must offer me a drink!”
Julia laughed. “Deal! But what happens if I win?”
“Then we'll take it into our own four walls later!” Timo's voice had become deeper and he felt the tension between them skyrocket. Her challenge became much more than just a game for him, and he could no longer suppress the urge. They went to the planks, the competition atmosphere floating in the air like a steaming, electrifying tent.
They held their position while their eyes stuck together. Julia suddenly broke the silence: “This already feels like winning...” With a seductive smile on her face, Timo felt his heartbeat racing and wondered what could follow if one of them gave in.
