Meanwhile, as I am about to get my day started, I walk towards Jeromy.
He pauses, and then says to me, “Hey man, what’s up?”
I say, “Just ready to get the day started.”
He then says coolly, “There you go.”
Jeromy Henson is a 23 year old, 6-3, tall dude. He’s got wavy dark brown hair, is the second strongest person here next to me, and has long,
gangly, but muscular arms. He was my roommate last year before he moved out, and he roomed with me in college. I’d like to say we’re
pretty close. Or at least were.
I spot my client doing some leg stretches, as she’s a pretty 5-3 tall, blonde with is wearing a white tank top with black sweatpants, and is
wearing a headband. Her name is Jennifer Schwartz, is 21, and goes to the local community college.
I wave to her, and she smiles at me, and waves back, as she continues stretching. I’m somehow not feeling right, so I go to the bathroom.
(Jeromy’s P.O.V.)
So I walk to the counter to greet people.
They greet me, as Earl says to me, “What’s up, man?”
I say, “Just chillin’. What’s new with you?”
He says, “Got a new celebrity. An Internet celebrity. Goes by the name of Jay Heaps.”
I say to Earl, “I don’t know any guy named Jay Heaps.”
The ladies exit, as they go to their work stations.
Waiting for them to clear, Jimmy, the manager, said, “I heard he was rumored to be transgender, or something like that.”
I say, “Well, that’d be interesting. First of that type there would be.”
Jess’ face reddens, but he doesn’t say anything.
I say to Jess, “What’re thoughts on Jay Heaps? Got any information I should know about?”
Jess says shyly as he looks at the floor, “It might be cool to meet him.”
Ah, Jess, man of a few words.
Jimmy asks me, “So, what’s it like to room with David?”
I say to him, “It’s alright at first, but honestly, it kind of was overrated. He’s kinda full of himself.”
He says to me, “Really? We’re talking about your best friend.”
I say to him, “Was.”
I then say, “Alright, it’s been great chatting with you guys. Gotta get back to work. Don’t tell him I said anything.”
Jimmy said to me as he zipped his lips, “You got it.”
(David’s P.O.V.)
I was in the bathroom for quite a bit. I wasn’t feeling good. I reached inside of my bag, looking for the last bit of steroids after crapping on
the toilet…and it was gone. My stomach was cramping, I was sweating, and feeling a slight panic attack, before I continued on with my
business as I flushed. I looked in a safe, and there it was. Only I have the combination, and…I found it.
Time to wash my hands. Time to get my day started as my first client is Jennifer Schwartz.
I open the door, and Jess was waiting for me. I see him right after I open the door as I’m about to go on my way out.
I say to him, “’Sup, bro.”
He smiles nervously, as he says to me in a nasal voice, “Oh my god, you startled me...bro. I seriously thought I was going to have a panic
attack.”
But I say to him reassuringly, “But you’re all good now, right?”
He picks up his breath, as he looks me in the eye, and says, “Yep.”
And he walks right into the bathroom.
That was an interesting encounter. Sometimes, I do wonder if he’s gay or just a really shy, nervous guy, but I do enjoy talking to him. He’s
sort of like the shy, awkward little brother I’ve never had. I should invite him to one of my parties.
Anyways, I see Jennifer Schwartz.
She says, “Hey.”
I say, “Hey babe. Let’s get our workout started. First, let’s do some ab crunches.”
