But You Lost It Somehow

[dotinthesky]

Yesterday, I arrived earlier than usual at my gym in the hopes of finding the place empty. Although the weight room was as busy as usual, there was nobody in the locker room apart from one guy entering the communal showers.

I put down my bag and started getting changed. I noticed something fly past me: he'd strolled out naked and chucked his underwear on his pile of clothes. When he went back to the shower, he moved to a shower that stood directly in my line of vision.

I noticed he was staring intently at me as he soaped himself. He was probably in his early 30s, asian, muscular but not lean. I looked a second time, to be sure I wasn't imagining things (I thought until yesterday my gym was the straightest one in London). Turned out he REALLY was staring at me.

What disturbed me about the whole thing was that he had his mobile phone propped up on a bench beside the shower, blasting a R'n'B version of Roxette's "It Must Have Been Love" as sung by chipmunks.

i almost expected this to have a "noddie land" tag on it. but no.
we would be such a good duo. checking them out, exchanging locker room stories, other.

I'd dress you up as a drag king and sneak you in there. maybe we'd visit gay saunas together, for the first time. so you can be initiated into the secrets...

i don't know. i might be able to do that, but i think i look fairly girly. we'll work on it. dust me up a bit. i would like to be initiated into secret gay culture, saunas, etc. the gossip would be neverENDING.
