Carl tightened his grip around Ken's hand and knew that everything was going to work out just like they had wanted it to. Carl was finally going to find a man who didn't have to meet him in secret and who wasn't ashamed of being seen with him out in public.
The End.

Chapter 1
Lucy was starting her first day at a new job as she looked at herself in the locker room mirror. She had already put her clothes away and she thought she looked good in the uniform that she was wearing. She had red spandex shorts on and a matching short sleeve shirt that showed off her large tits.
She smiled at herself in the mirror and loved how hair looked pulled back into a ponytail. Usually her bushy hair was too wild to tame. She looked at the freckles under her hazel eyes and the small speckles on her cheeks. The only way that anyone could see them was if they were up close to her they were so small.
“We are going to have a great first day.” She told her reflection, giving herself a small pep talk before she clocked in for her first day working at the gym just down the street from where she lived.
Lucy had been excited about getting the job, since she had lost her other job due to not being able to show up because of lack of transportation she didn't have to worry about that anymore and the new boss completely understood where she was coming from when she explained during the interview because the boss didn't have her own car either.
Lucy turned and walked away from the mirror and walked towards the locker room door. Opening it up she turned and saw the time clock on her right. Closing the locker room door behind her she took her card and ran it through the scanner. Showing that she had clocked in on time she put her card back and walked to the room where she was going to have her first class.
Lucy wasn't nervous about her first day, she had worked at a gym before and she knew what she was doing when it came to the equipment and how to use it right. Something that she would be showing her class that morning.
There were a lot of people who signed up for a gym and thought they were using the equipment to the fullest and they didn't realize all the different moves they could use that would better their body. That's what she was there for. She wanted to make sure that they were getting the best workout that they could so that they could be proud of themselves come the end of the year. Those who went to the gym spent fifty dollars for a membership that lasted the year. If they liked the gym and what the workouts could do for them they were bound to sign up the next year and years after that.
“We are going to make sure that your class is very happy with their workout this morning.” Lucy told herself under her breath. The last thing she needed was for someone to think she was crazy because she was talking to herself.
When she reached her class at the other end of the hallway she noticed that there was another instructor already in there. She hadn't realize that she was going to have a partner on this, she thought she was going to be doing it on her own.
Lucy couldn't get mad, when she took a second look at the woman she couldn't believe how attractive she was. When she turned around and saw Lucy looking at her and smile she waved to the girl. Hopefully it would be the first co-worker she would be introduced to.
“My name is Brenda.” The girl told her, reaching out her arm and extending her hand.
“Lucy. This is my first day here.” Lucy stated, looking into her beautiful brown eyes. She loved how tanned Brenda was, wondering if there was a tanning booth connected to the gym. She loved Brenda's long, black hair. It was nice and shiny and she just wanted to reach out and touch it, to feel the softness of it.
“I know, I was told that I could sit in today to see how you do on your first day.” Brenda told her excitedly.
“I didn't know that I wasn't working by myself today. I thought that was what I was going to be doing.” Lucy told her gently, glad that she did have someone watching her while she worked. Maybe if she messed up even just a little Brenda would be able to give her tips on how to do differently the next time around.
“I asked if I could.” Brenda told her softly, looking Lucy over a little better. She could see that Lucy had freckles on her face that was how close she was.
Lucy felt her heart melting for a woman she hardly even knew. For her it was love at first sight and she felt her heart pounding so hard in chest that she was surprised that Brenda couldn't hear it that's how close she was standing.
“We have an hour before the first class comes in. I can help you set out the mats and everything else.” Brenda volunteered, walking over to the closet across the room by the door.
Lucy followed her knowing that she needed some help figuring out where everything was and knowing how to set up the room before she started her classes. She couldn't look like an idiot and not have things set up as her class arrived.
Lucy watched as she dragged out blue mats onto the floor. Without hesitating Lucy went over and began rolling them out. They were thick and a little heavy but she managed to get the first mat laid out starting from the back of the room and working her way up to the front by the doors.
It had only taken about fifteen minutes to get the mats out, it had seemed like it had taken forever. She wiped the sweat from her forehead not having to do this before. The gym she had worked at before had carpeted floors and she didn't have to worry about it.
“Already out of breath?” Brenda asked, joking around with her.
“I'm just not use to taking out mats and putting them back. We didn't have a hard, gym flooring where I use to work.” She said with a grin on her face, seeing Brenda nod her head understanding now.
“We do it every morning and put them away every night. Sometimes we have help from the janitors if they are nice enough. We use to have this one janitor that use to put the mats away before he started cleaning and buffing the floors but he went on to work for someone else. The others just do it once in a great while so don't get use to it. I got use to it until I had to do it every night on my own, he had spoiled me before he left.” Brenda laughed, shaking her head. Feeling herself sweat as she took out the rowing machines and slid them up against the walls.
Each wall had a mirror so that whoever was working out could see themselves if they wanted to.
“The mirrors help out a lot when we are trying to teach the class something new. They can watch us and than what to see how they do it for themselves.” She stated, shrugging her shoulders as she looked at the clock.
It was only eight-thirty, they had enough time to grab a bottle of water and something from the snack drawer in the break room.
“Come with me.” Brenda told her, walking towards the door to head out of the room. She wanted to make sure that Lucy knew where everything was. If she needed a drink where the cooler was for the bottled water and if she was hungry between classes and didn't have time to grab something from what she brought from lunch she could just take a package of crackers or whatever was in the snack drawer.
Lucy followed her out of the room and down a long hallway. They went inside a door that had the word break room on it. She looked around at the table tops and counter tops seeing how clean it was in there.
“Wow they really do a good job around here. We only had this small room that had a coffee pot and a fridge.” Lucy was impressed with the break room alone.
“Here we have a snack drawer, we have a cooler just for bottled water and cupboards are filled with coffee so we never run out. I don't know if you like a lot of coffee but I know that I do.” Brenda nodded her head, looking over her shoulder as she opened up the cupboards, seeing the look on Lucy's face she knew she was impressed.
“I don't think that we are going to run out of coffee any time soon.” Lucy laughed, shaking her head back and forth.
“No, if we do than there's something wrong.” Brenda laughed with her. She had a feeling she was going to like Lucy. They were getting along so well and she realized she wasn't like all the other new girls who thought that they were better than everyone else.
“I'm going to grab a bottle of water, you can do what you want. We have another half hour before we have to be in the room.” Brenda told her, letting her have her own time if that's what she wanted to do.
“Thank you.” Lucy nodded her head, watching as Brenda left the break room and heard the door click behind her.
Lucy looked around the break room, she looked through the drawers and found a piece of paper and pen. Then a thought came to mind when looked at them. The only way she was going to find out if Brenda was interested in her the way she was interested in Brenda was to write a note.
Quickly Lucy grabbed the piece of paper and pen knowing that she didn't have much time to write something long she scrawled out a small note.
I've been watching you, I think that you are really good looking. I love your smile and the way you laugh. If you are interested please leave a note for me in the snack drawer.
It wasn't a very long note and she knew that she couldn't tell her to leave her note in the coffee cupboard because she would know that it was her who had written the note, it wouldn't have been that hard to know it was her because that's what she had shown her the inside of. Everyone working there had been there before her and the snack drawer was something that everyone knew about.
Lucy put the pen and the pad of paper back. Walking out of the break room like it was nothing she went to the locker room and looked for Brenda's locker. Glad to see that it wasn't locked she opened it up quickly and put the piece of paper where it would be seen. Closing it back up she walked out of the room with a smile on her face. She had fifteen minutes left to stretch before her first class came in for the morning.
Lucy had a schedule of four classes that day. If there were more classes she could pick up that would be good for her. She needed the hours. Each class ran for about an hour, it would mean she would only be there for four hours unless she found something to do.
Walking back into the room she sat down on one of the mats and began stretching out her legs. Brenda walked over to her and began stretching to.
“I figured in case you needed my help demonstrating anything than I'll be ready.” She said when Lucy gave her a surprised look.
Chapter 2
Lucy was glad that Brenda was stretching with her, she was glad that she had someone who wanted to help her if she needed it. Just knowing that Brenda had volunteered made her feel as if Brenda had cared about her without even meeting her first, not knowing if she was going to be a nice person, not knowing if she was ugly or not. She could see that Brenda would be nice to anyone until they gave her a reason not to be.
“We are going to rock this class.” Lucy told her softly, leaning over and stretching out her other arm, extending it and feeling her legs feel the burning sensation that she loved.
“Yeah we are.” Brenda nodded her head, getting up to her feet when she saw that the class was waiting to be let in with their gym bags.
Brenda reached down her hand and helped Lucy onto her feet and they went to the door together to great the class.
They watched the ten girls file into the room with their gym bags, they were all talking with one another as they took their spots on the mats. When the room was finally quiet Brenda took center stage for just a minute.
“This is our new girl Lucy. She's been a workout instructor at her last job so she knows what she's doing. Be nice to her.” Brenda told them, giving them all a smile when the girls nodded their heads and laughed at her.
Brenda took a step back and let Lucy take over the class. She stood in the back of the room, whatever Lucy did for the first hour she did the same, she kept her eye on Lucy, letting her know that she was there if she needed her.
Lucy wasn't use to have someone staring at her, staring at her and looking at her were two different things. She had done the stretches the right way seeing that Brenda wasn't coming up to the front of the room to help her out she knew she was doing it right. It made Lucy feel good though that Brenda kept her eyes on her for the first forty-five minutes.
When Lucy looked around for her at the end of the class though she didn't see her. She always ended her classes with a little pep talk about how good they were all doing.
“So we have fifteen minutes left of class and I just wanted to say what a great job you are all doing here. You are getting the workout that your body needs, you are working your bodies to the fullest.” Lucy stated, watching all the girls drinking from their own bottled water and seeing that they were looking at her.
The room was quiet as she talked to them, she felt as if she had all of their attention when she talked to the class. Unlike the other gym where her class would talk in whispered voices and it felt as if she didn't have anyone paying attention to what she was saying.
“I would like to thank all of you for listening to me this morning and I hope to see all of you back here tomorrow.” Lucy told them with a smile on her face.
She could see that the girls were ready to take showers as she looked at the clock behind her and saw there was only five minutes left of class.
The women all got up from the floor and went for their gym bags. They slung them over their shoulder and each one of them said they would see her the next day as they left the room. Lucy was nodding her head and standing by the door as they all left.
Lucy was even sweating up a storm after the first class. She felt good about herself as she put her hands on her hips. She was feeling great after the workout and proud of herself that she had done such a great job.
“You did very well this morning.” Brenda clapped her hands and Lucy turned around to see she was standing in the doorway.
“Thank you, thank you.” Lucy bowed, making them both laugh.
“I thought you would be in more shape. Look at the sweat coming off of you.” Brenda ran her hand down her arm and saw the wetness of Lucy's sweat on her hand.
“It's so hot in here. I think that's the reason, on top of that I didn't do well with my classes at the other gym. I mean I knew what I was doing but the girls didn't want to do it the same way I did and I ended up caving in. I had a pep talk with myself before I even came here. I was going to stay positive and in control of the workout session.” Lucy explained to her.
“That's a good thing. The women respect you, they like you. You should see the other work out instructor they had. None of them wanted to listen to the other instructor and she would show her impatience making it worse of course.” Brenda stated, thinking about how well Lucy had set her attitude for the class and she carried it through after the class was over.
“Just three more classes unless I can do something else after. I need all the hours I can get and I like working here.” Lucy told her, grabbing a hand towel and wiping the sweat off her neck and shoulders.
“I'm going to go to the locker room and freshen up a little. I would like to stay with you if you don't mind?” Brenda asked, she knew that Lucy could handle the classes and she couldn't wait to report back to their boss that Lucy was a good one to keep around.
“I don't mind at all. You can stay all day if you want to.” Lucy grinned, nodding her head at her as Brenda left the room.
“Great. See you in a bit.” Brenda threw over her shoulder and gave her another smile before she disappeared down the hallway.
Lucy knew it was going to be a matter of minutes before she found the note in her locker. She was excited and nervous at the same time. If she didn't like her in that manner than she was afraid that Brenda wouldn't talk to her anymore, that she wouldn't want to hang out like they were already. Talking without having a hard time coming up with things to talk about. If Brenda did like her she knew that she was going to be nervous because she never approached another woman, every time someone was interested in her they went to her first. She didn't have to worry about rejection or what was going to happen next.
“Well, there's a first time for everything.” Lucy murmured, looking around the room and seeing some empty water bottles. She went over to them and picked them up. Looking around and making sure that the room was neat for the next class that was showing up in another fifteen-twenty minutes.
Lucy liked the fact that she had breaks in between her classes, she liked the fact that she didn't have to rush right into the next routine without time for a breather. Lucy could already tell that she was going to stick around as a workout instructor for as long as she could. There was no way she was going to leave this job for any reason.
Lucy walked away from the back of the room and noticed her next class was ready for her, standing outside the closed door just like her fast class had done. She didn't see Brenda anywhere and she opened the door to get her next class started on her own.
“I would like to introduce myself to the class. My name is Lucy I'm going to be your new instructor.” She stated, watching all the women getting things out that they needed.
“Another new one?” A short, mousy, looking girl asked as she flipped her head forward. Her black hair hanging down over her face as she put it up into a ponytail quickly.
“I don't know how many new ones you've had but so far I like my job and even though there are going to be hard times ahead of us I'm willing to stick through it as long as you are.” Lucy stated, giving the girl a smile.
The girl smiled back at her and nodded her head, it wasn't the answer she was looking for. She was surprised that Lucy didn't come down on her about being mouthy like the other one had called her over and over again.
“I'm willing to stick around to see how long you are going to be around.” She laughed, getting into her spot where she had been for the past six months.
“Good. Now lets give our bodies the work out it needs!” Lucy cried out with excitement as the girls smiled at her and got up on their feet.
Half way through the workout was when Brenda came into the room. Lucy hadn't even noticed her until they were doing floor stretches and crunches to finish off their morning workout. As Lucy lay flat on her back with her hands behind her head was when she saw Brenda smiling at her from the corner of the room.
