The gym was nearly empty when Shalina arrived. Leg day today. Never skip leg day the poster on the wall said, and she hadn’t done that even once. She sat down on a bench and looked around the room. Wednesdays were never very popular days to train - one of the reasons she picked them - and there were only three people beside her in the gym. She didn’t know any of them, though she recognized one - the rhino that had nearly sat on her earlier.
She found herself staring at him. The guy was huge! He was casually lifting dumbbells that possibly outweighed her, and during breaks drank straight from the kind of bottle normally sat atop water coolers. He’d already finished one and was halfway through another. The guy must have a bladder the size of… uh… she couldn’t think of anything, but damn those arms of his were huge. It was a miracle his shirt didn’t -
And just as she thought the thought, it happened. One final bicep curl and the seam of his tshirt split all the way up along the sleeve, and he gave it such a sheepish look she couldn’t help but let out a little giggle, to which he turned around, looking even more sheepishly at her.
“Oh, uh… I wasn’t doing that intentionally… it just keeps happening.”
He was actually blushing!
“I wonder why!” Shalina blurted out, giggling even more.
