“Oh god no, I will stick with ice water.” The thought of alcohol made my stomach churn. This was one of those days where I made the common pledge that I will never drink again knowing full well that it wouldn’t last. “You want to go to the gym after lunch?
“Yes, ma’am.” Of course she did. Her dedication sickened me. We finished our salads and cleared the table. I placed my dishes in the sink
“Just leave them there, I will take care of them when we get back,” Angelique said. We both grabbed a bottle of water and our gym bags and made
our way to the gym.
I
At least I had something to look forward to when I went to the gym now. There was always the possibility that I would run into Kyle. That would make the trip much more bearable.
I climbed onto the elliptical and plugged my headphones into the jack and found a channel on the television that had something interesting on Watching a television show made the workout go faster. I moved my legs at a fairly brisk pace all the while scanning the room looking for the one thing that could put a smile on my face, or at least give me an excuse to climb off this unpleasant machine. I didn’t see him anywhere. Blah, Thirty minutes passed and I was done. I wiped off the machine, stepped down and took a huge chug of water.
“Want to go sit in the sauna for a few minutes?” I heard Angelique ask
“Yeah, actually that sounds great.” We made our way to the very back of the gym where the locker rooms and the sauna room were located. We headed to the locker room first and stripped off our sweaty clothes and wrapped up in the large white cotton towels that they had folded neatly right inside the door. We threw our belongings in a locker and went straight to the sauna.
As we opened the door, it was nearly empty. That was great because I never liked being in there with a bunch of people. When it was crowded, we would just sit in silence. I did not like other people overhearing my conversations with Angelique. She has no filter and you never know what she will talk
about.
Fortunately, there was only one guy sitting in the corner with his head down and a towel over it. You couldn’t see much of him, but he had a towel
wrapped around his waist sitting with his legs slightly apart like men do. His chest was bare and you could see the beads of sweat clinging to his masculine chest. Angelique looked at me and raised her eyebrows and smiled with approval. We sat on the bench facing him and let the steam begin to
relax us.
“So you really had a good time with Beefcake last night?” Angelique asked me quietly with a smirk on her face.
“Yes I did. I really like him. There is just something about him. I mean besides the fact that he is sexy as hell and that I have known him since I was sixteen, so it is easy to talk to him” When I said this, I saw the strange man in the corner stir, yet he still kept his head down.
1 would agree that he is quite handsome. When do you think you will go out with him?”
1 don’t know. If I did not have so many complications, I would say right away, but if I did it now, what would people say? I am still married.”
“Yes, you are, but you just caught that bastard in bed with another woman”
I saw the gentleman raise his head. A pair of familiar green eyes looked at me. With a look of amusement on his face he said, wouldn’t worry about what other people would say. What I would do, is make sure I knew who was sitting in a sauna with me before I discussed such things.”
My cheeks flushed even more red than they already were from the heat. “Hi, Kyle,” I said with complete embarrassment. “Shouldn’t you be at work?”
“Yeah, I probably should, but then I would have missed out on hearing Angelique call me Beefcake and that would have been tragic,” he teased. I really wanted to crawl under something, but the small wooden slats that made up the benches would not provide much coverage. I was going to kill Angelique for picking this topic of conversation. She was just sitting there with a huge grin on her face leaving me to fend for myself.
“Well ladies, I was just getting ready to leave. It got much hotter in here than usual.” He stood up to show the full effect of all his time spent here at the gym. His olive skin rippled in all the right places. I wanted to reach out and feel the six pack abs that were staring me in the face. He turned from me to head for the door and I saw a large black tribal cross tattoo in the center of his upper back. As he opened the door he turned to say “Sexy as hell huh?” He smiled and walked out without waiting for a reply from me.
Once the door was closed, Angelique just looked at me and bust out laughing I could not help but see the humor in it and joined her. We sat for a few more minutes giving Kyle plenty of time to get dressed and leave the gym. I did not want to have to face him again just yet. When I felt the coast was clear, we walked to the locker room to shower and get dressed.

Once in the car, I asked, “Ang, think we could go by my house so that I can pick some things up? I don’t think I will be returning there anytime soo
“Sure. Do you think Carter will be home?”
“No, he should be at the clinic.
“Okay”
We drove to my house and pulled into the circle driveway. No cars were there, so I hoped that I would have plenty of time to grab what I needed. I was not ready to face Carter While I should thank him for making my decision easier, I cannot help but feel betrayed
I walked to my room and grabbed a couple sulicases out of the closet and placed them on the bed. I began packing as many clothes as I could fit into both. They were busting at the seams by time I was done. I would definitely have to come back with boxes to pack the rest of my things, but at least

now I had suitable clothes for job interviews. I could not help but feel sadness as 1 zipped both suitcases closed. I grabbed one handle in each hand and made my way to Angelique’s car. I squeezed one into her small trunk the other would have to fit in the back seat. As I was closing the trunk, I heard a car pull up behind us Great
