“Hey Gia, how are things? I thought I would stop and say hi before I start some weight training with Marco.”
“Have a great workout, Susan.”
“You bet, have a great day, Gia, talk with you soon,” she states and then saunters, and I mean saunters, to meet Marco for her training.
Something about her has changed, and it’s nagging at me. But I don’t have time to dwell on that as some potential new members walk in and I am giving them the 411 on the gym, and handing them the literature about the membership rules, costs, etc. One of the things included before they join is a tour, so I call Mario, who is one of the nicest guys I have met. He whisks the potential new members off for a tour, and then I am back to my thoughts.
Maddie strolls through the front doors about 2:30 p.m. just when I am getting ready to grab a smoothie from the kitchen. “Hey Gia, I’m glad I caught you. Do you have time to talk about Sunday?”
“I’m off desk duty in about thirty minutes. D you want to meet down at the coffee shop?”
“That will work. I’ll see you in a bit.”
After Kenzie shows up for desk duty, I grab my purse and head to the coffee shop. Maddie is sitting outside at a table with her coffee. I head in and order a salted caramel latte and join her at the table.
“Logan and Butch really haven’t told me much about your experience in the club, and what you are looking to get out of it. Maybe we should start there?”
“I’ve done some research online, which helped me understand what is going on each time Logan has taken me to the club. I thoroughly enjoyed your demonstration, and I am hopeful that one day I can please Logan the way you seem to please Butch.”
“Believe it or not, it is the Dom’s job to keep the Sub happy and satisfied. Have you given Logan a safe word?”
I nod in hopes that she will continue.
“I have been watching Logan with you, discreetly of course, and you are the perfect Sub for him. He hadn’t really been coming to the club, and I think you have turned that around. So basically, what will happen on Sunday is I will meet you in the locker room. We can change into whatever outfits our Doms choose for us, and then we will walk through the club. An email has gone out to all the Doms letting them know that I am starting a training program, and you are my first student. No one will think twice about two Subs strolling around by themselves. Cosimo and Butch have received nothing but great comments on this new program we are rolling out. If things work out, and we need more help in this area, I am hoping you might want to help me, eventually.”
Wow, I never thought of doing that, but given that Maddie has such great expectations of me, I hope I don’t let her down.
After we discuss Sunday, we start talking about her restaurant, about my classes, and about how I like it at the gym. It is nice to talk to someone who is a member of the gym and a Sub. I really don’t have anyone else to talk to, and I certainly wouldn’t talk to Susan. I am learning she is a nut job, but a great yoga instructor, so I am stuck with her for a while.
We finish our coffees and walk back to the gym. We hug, and she gets into her cute red Audi A3, and drives off to start her verylong day. Being a chef at a very popular restaurant must be tiring at times.
I walk into the gym, and I see Kenzie talking with someone who might be a new member. She is always a ray of sunshine, no matter her mood.
“Hey Kenzie, how are things?”
“Everything is fine. Trina is sick; the school just called, so I am waiting for Andy to cover my front desk duties so I can go get her.”
“You go; I’ll cover it. I don’t have anything really to do for the rest of the day, and I don’t mind helping. Just let me know how she is when you get home.”
“Gia, that would be amazing, thank you so much. I will grab my things from the office and let Andy know he’s off the hook. Thank you again. I will text you to let you know how she is doing,” she says, and with that, she is gone.
The afternoon starts to get busy as people get off work. Putting in the locker room and showers was the best thing Andy could do for this place. I was a member of a gym once, and they didn’t have showers, which meant I really had to schedule my time, so I was going straight home after my workout. It has brought a lot more women to the gym, and most of the men here don’t mind that at all.
I check the schedule to determine who is going to be coming up to the front desk at 5:00 p.m. and I see it is Mario. That is great because I wanted to see how the tour did with the group that came in this morning.
As usual, Mario arrives at 4:50 p.m., always early for everything, which really is a good trait to have.
“Hey Gia, I thought Kenzie was covering the shift before me. Everything okay?”
“Yes, Trina’s school called. She wasn’t feeling well, so Kenzie went to pick her up. I am just waiting to hear how she is doing. I am glad you’re here; how did the tour go with the group this morning?”
“Two of the four signed after the tour; the other two wanted a day to think about it. They were thrilled with the locker room and showers. The two on the fence just weren’t sure if the classes they were interested in would fit their schedules. Two are better than none, right?”
“That’s great. Did you give them the flyer to take to their places of employment?”
“Yup, the one guy that joined said his buddies might be interested, so he is going to put it on the community board in their breakroom.”
Mario and I say our goodbyes, and I head upstairs; I will be alone tonight since Logan has a meeting at the club. I know Ihad a disappointed look on my face when he told me, but I really need to connect with Sara to talk about Mason. When I walk into my apartment, I change into some street clothes and then call Sara to see if we can get together at her place. She agrees, and I tell her I will be there in about an hour. She said she would order Thai for dinner, and it should be there when I arrive. Since we have lived together and have been friends forever, she knows what I like, so I don’t even have to give her my order.
