“We love having them here, and I’m sure you’ll fit right in,” Sarah smiled. “Come into my office and I’ll get your details. Then you can get right to it if you wish.”
Mel bid us both a farewell as I followed Sarah into her office and took one of the two chairs in-front of her desk. Instead of taking her chair behind the desk, she took the one beside me and placed a few sheets of papers down before me.
“Here is our contract for membership,” Sarah pointed out. “It just states the cost of membership per month, trial periods and joining fee, which we’ll waive for you since you’re a family member of a few of our members.”
I glanced over the paperwork without really reading it. The contracts for gym memberships were usually quite universal, with only slight variations in costs, opening hours and minimum trial periods.
“This all looks satisfactory,” I said.
Sarah gave me a warm smile, and I thought I saw her admiring me from the corner of my eye. It was probably my imagination from being around Erica so much lately. Sarah would see all sorts of hulked out body builders all day. I wasn’t anything special in this crowd.
“Next is the payment form. We only accept payments in form of direct debit on the first of every month,” she explained. “Mel mentioned you came from England. Do you have an Australian bank account set up yet?”
I hadn’t bothered setting up an account since I wasn’t sure if I was going to stay in country or not. Since both my mother and father were Australian citizens, I had a dual citizenship which would make things easier. But I just wasn’t sure until I met my siblings if I was going to stay. Now I had no intention of leaving.
“I do not. But I can easily set one up tomorrow,” I replied.
“That’s fine. Since your sisters have been coming here for a couple of years now, I’d be happy to give you the first month for free. Just make sure you have that account set-up and get the details to me before the trial is over,” Sarah said.
“You got it,” I replied with a nod.
I signed and initialled the required papers. Then Sarah handed me a towel, water bottle and keyring fob. All items had the gym’s logo on them.
“These are complimentary to all members. The fob will grant you access to the gym anytime you want to work out. Just make sure you use it every time you enter and don’t let anyone in. Even if you know someone is a member,” she explained.
Now it made sense why Erica and Mel entered separately. Each of them using their own key fobs. It was a little strange, but I understood the security issues of letting random people in at all hours of the night. They couldn’t keep staff on call twenty-four-seven.
“Thank you. You’ve been extremely helpful,” I gave the cute blonde a smile.
“It’s my pleasure,” she smiled back. “I probably don’t have to ask this since you look to be in great shape, but if you need any help from personal trainers or anything, just ask. We have a bunch on site that are happy to help.”
“Are you one of the trainers?” I asked, testing the waters.
“I could be,” she winked.
I gave me one last smile before leaving her office. There was nothing quite like being flirted with by a gorgeous woman to make a man’s day. I may have to take Sarah up on her offer for personal training. Hopefully, her plans for getting the heart racing were as interesting as my own.
Since I was done with my membership process, I decided to get a quick workout in. I dumped my phone and wallet in one of the cubbies beside the one Erica had picked, filled my water bottle, and headed over to the cardio section to warm up. The pleasant sight of Erica’s ass flexing greeted me as I rounded the corner to where the treadmills were lined up in two rows against the wall. Erica was moving at a slow run, and the loping gait of her stride made her juicy ass bounce with each step she took. So naturally I took one of the treadmills in the row behind her.
It had been a few weeks since I’d done any exercising. I started my cardio off light, building up to a fast run after ten minutes, then only maintaining it for a few minutes before cooling off with a fast walk. My eyes were fixed to Erica’s ass for most of it, making time fly.
The rest of my time at the gym was spent in close proximity to one of my sisters. Mel had caught me more than a few times checking Erica out, but said nothing. Nor did she indicate that it bothered her. She even caught me checking her out when she was stretching on a yoga mat. I was sure Erica loved every minute of it too.
I kept most of my workout light so as to not hurt myself by jumping back in too fast, but after an hour I had still worked up quite a sweat and desperately wanted a shower and change of clothes.
“Hey stranger,” Erica nudged me playfully as she brushed by to fill her water bottle at the fountain.
“You all done?” I asked, letting my eyes roam her glistening body.
“Yeah. Just going to shower and change,” she said, taking a sip from her bottle.
“You mind directing me to the showers?” I asked, not thrilled about showering in public, but I didn’t want to smell on the car ride home.
“Sure. This way.”
I followed Erica towards the back of the gym-passed the free-weights section-and down a narrow corridor. There were a series of doors lining the corridor, each with a unisex bathroom symbol on them. A few were locked, but most were open slightly, signalling they were unoccupied.
“Just pick an empty shower and clean up. Just be sure to turn the lights off when you’re done and leave the door open, so others know it’s free,” Erica explained.
“Thanks,” I replied. “Better than the communal showers I had to deal with in the gyms back home.”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Communal can be fun,” Erica winked.
Then my lovely sister spun on her heels and sauntered back down the corridor, glancing over her shoulder to give me a wicked smile before rounding the corner.
“Might make that a cold shower,” I chuckled to myself.
