I really fucking hated going downtown. I absolutely avoided it at all costs normally. There are too many people, too many rookies out and about on a Saturday night doing shots, screaming and yelling and not pacing themselves. I always preferred the bars and restaurants on the outskirts of downtown that had a more relaxed vibe compared to the overwhelming noise of the downtown bars and nightclubs.

That all being said, if little Miss Sexy Sassy Pants Vivian was going downtown on a Saturday night, I was going too. Besides the fact that I frankly didn’t want some other douchebag hitting on her, which he absolutely would, I wanted to see her. Something in her sweet face calmed me every time I was in her presence. I had brought her into my arms twice now, just to hold her, and it was quickly becoming my favorite thing. I towered over her, and bringing her to my chest and resting my head on top of hers felt comforting. I could smell the scent of her shampoo and her perfume mixed together lingering in my nose.

I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I had a raging hard-on every time she was in the vicinity as well. I anxiously ran my hands through my hair knowing that she’d be wearing something sexy for a night downtown, and I was going to have to control myself. In an effort to give myself a pep talk, I reminded myself the sexual hiatus wasn’t forever, and eventually I’d bring her to my bed and claim her over and over. Those thoughts ended up making it worse, so when I pulled up to the gym, I had to try to think of something else before I could go in. The only way to calm that shit down was to think of sad puppies or some shit, but fuck all if it wasn’t near impossible to get the thought of my hands on her out of my mind.

When I went inside, there were a handful of people working out, but it was dead for the most part. I found Matt and Isabel across the gym floor pointing at something on the wall.

“What’s happening over here, kids?” I asked, announcing my presence.

“Hey, dude, we were just discussing taking all of these mirrors down and re-sheetrocking the walls,” Matt replied.

“Well, that sounds like a pain in the balls, but these mirrors are old and shitty and unnecessary for the type of gym you’re trying to build,” I said knowing full well, I’d be helping sheetrock that wall.

“That’s what I said,” Isabel replied. “What if we took all that shit down and put up some whiteboards or chalkboards people could use to put their work out on, or something like that?”

“Well, why don’t you just paint that entire wall in chalkboard paint? Then you’d have nice smooth walls all the time. They’d be black, which is cool looking, but also you could put your own messages and stuff up, and it would be easy to clean up with water or erasers or whatever.
