“Logan, listen, I normally wouldn’t say anything, but I think I know who did this.”
“Don’t keep me in suspense; who?”
“Last night, I had to come back to get something out of my locker, and I saw Marco and Susan both leaving the gym at the same time. They were deep in conversation and didn’t see that I had pulled into the parking lot. I watched Marco give Susan a kiss, and then she got into her car and left. I thought it was a bit odd because I know that neither of them was on the schedule for the evening shift.”
“That bitch, if she has anything to do with it, I swear to God,” I say but I trail off before finishing my thought.
“Hold on, dude, we don’t know if they had anything to do with it or not, but I think it is worth mentioning to Andy.”
“Well, between you and me, no one else knows that Andy is going to have extra cameras installed after hours in places that won’t be obvious. We have too many blind spots in this place, and this kind of shit could happen again. He said he was going to call Brian Porter to come back and do the job. But let’s keep this quiet for now. I will talk to Andy about what you saw last night, and we can go from there. I'd better get going; my first class starts in about thirty minutes.”
I head to Andy’s office to talk about the new cameras and keeping them quiet for now. I also want to report what Blake witnessed last night. If Andy were only a member of The VelvetPlayroom, I could tell him about what a problem Susan has been. However, that can’t be discussed.
I knock on Andy’s door, and he asks me to come on in and take a seat.
“Andy, you haven’t shared the information about the extra cameras being installed with all of the staff, have you?”
“No, not yet. I think maybe keeping it between a chosen few for now would be a good idea, do you agree?”
“Actually, I was going to ask you to do that. I was just talking with Blake, and he knows about the cameras, but he will keep that information to himself. However, he told me he had to come back to the gym to grab something he left in his locker, and while sitting in the parking lot, he saw Marco and Susan coming out of the gym into the back parking lot. They were deep in conversation and didn’t see him.”
“Interesting, what beef would they have with Gia? She is a very fair boss, and they seem to get along.”
“Unfortunately, there is something I didn’t tell you about Susan. I saw her a few times outside of the gym before she was hired. She was a bit too clingy for me, and of course that was during my man-whore days. And I know that Marco has a boner for Gia and was shocked when he found out that Gia and I are an official couple. I think we should just keep an eye on both of them. Maybe the detective will come up with something concrete that we can use.”
“Man-whore days huh, I knew that shit would bite you in the ass someday. Okay, I’ll talk with Margot after she conducts all of her interviews. I will keep you and Gia posted. In the meantime, keep an eye on Gia. I’m sure she isn’t going to be herself for a few days. The shit that was written on the walls wasn’t very nice, and she doesn’t deserve it. I am also going to have Brian install more cameras in the back parking lot, hidden of course, to monitor activity there as well.”
“Great, keep me posted. I have a class, so I need to get moving. Talk to you later,” I say and then get ready for my first class.
As my last class was finishing, I look up to see Gia standing in the doorway. As the guys file out, of course they were all checking out her ass. But I am not a jealous guy; Momma didn’t raise me that way. I know she is mine, and I will not be sharing.
Gia slowly walked over to me, and I planted one hell of a kiss on her. If there was any doubt that we were a couple, all doubt faded quickly. I saw a few of the members’ mouths drop open, and I smiled that Cheshire grin, and they nodded and then left the area.
“Hey big boy, since I don’t have any classes, I really need to do some type of workout, so I don’t get stiff.”
I interrupt her, “Oh Beautiful, I just know what kind of workout you need.”
“No, big boy, not that type of workout. Can you help me with weights and the machines for about an hour? I need to keep my mind busy, and that will really help.”
“Sure, Beautiful, give me about thirty minutes, and I will meet you over by one of the weight benches.”
She gives me that smile that brings me to my knees, and then winks and walks away, swaying those hips side to side. How in the hell am I going to concentrate on a workout when she does that shit?
Thirty minutes later, I walk into the weight room to find Gia talking with Mason. He isn’t much of a talker, but she seems to bring conversations out with anyone she meets.
Mason looks up as I approach. “Hey man, make sure you work her good. She has a lot of stress to relieve.”
Since Mason is another member of the club, I get the underlying statement. “Just weights tonight, my friend. Thanks for keeping her company until I got here.”
“Sure thing, I’ll see you both around.”
For the next hour, we go through several different types of strength training, and I am shocked at the amount of weight she can handle. After she goes through her cool down, I tell her to head upstairs to shower, and I will take care of cleaning the bench and weights. Also, since my fridge is full of mealscompliments of Kenzie, I tell her to come over when she is ready, and we will find something to eat.
After Gia leaves, Mario walks in.
“Hey dude, how did classes go for you today?”
“Pretty good, Marco said he wants to tag team a few classes. Do you think Andy would be receptive to that?”
