ONE WEEK TO CUBA
Lori
That guy is staring at me, I’m sure of it. He follows my movements as I
squat, the heavy bar resting on my shoulders. We’re the only ones in this
section of the gym, where the long barbells and squat racks are, and he’s
directly behind me. I can see him in the mirrors that cover the walls, not
even trying to hide the fact that he’s a creep.
Stop it! I want to yell, but my voice is caught in my throat.
His gaze roams freely over my legs and butt as I stand to set the bar back
on the rack. His eyes meet mine in the mirror and hold them.
You’re being a perv! is what I want to shout. My best friend Faye would,
if she were here, but she hates the gym. Faye wouldn’t stand rooted to the
spot in horror, too timid to tell him off.
I take a sip of water, breaking eye contact first, and inwardly curse
myself. Thankfully, he reracks his weights, and I exhale in relief. But as he
passes me, his hand grazes my butt, so fast it’s like it barely happened. I
jerk my head to glare at him, but he smirks at me and continues walking to
the free weights. As he lifts a dumbbell with the same hand that touched
me, the large lion tattoo on his bicep flexes, taunting me.
I should say something to him. I should say something, I should say
something, just say something , Lori!
Clutching my metal water bottle so tightly my knuckles turn white, I
march over to him, my pulse beating louder and louder in my ears with
every step I take.
“Hey!” I exclaim in a voice that doesn’t sound like mine.
“Quit staring at me!”
The guy faces me, his eyes dropping to check me out before a corner of
his mouth lifts. “Not staring, just enjoying the view you’re so generously
providing.”
My face burns and I sputter as I try to think of something to say. Faye
would think of the comeback to end all comebacks, but I only stand there,
my pulse racing with anger and embarrassment.
“If you’re gonna stand there, at least make yourself useful and hand me
that fifty-pounder over there.” The guy gestures to the dumbbell rack, that
smirk still in place. “Bend over while you do it though, you’re so good at
that.”
My mouth opens and closes once before I spin on my heel and speed
walk as far away from him as I can possibly get. His chuckle follows me
like a taunt, burning in my brain even when I can’t hear him anymore.
This is why I never say anything. I’ve just made it ten times worse than if
I’d ignored him. What if he thinks it’s okay to come up to me now that I
spectacularly failed to stand up for myself? I wish I knew exactly what to
say to put him in his place.
I scrub the spot he touched with my own hand as if that can erase the
memory.
