The next morning I felt much, much better. I decided to get up early and take a well needed trip to the gym. I had
only recently gotten into this whole work out thing, before I wouldn't even run
a mile but now I’d been setting myself personal goals and I felt really good
having something to focus on which also improved my health. I still ate a lot though;
nothing was ever going to stop that but now I was feeling much more confident
with my body and waay sexier. I sent Billie a quick text asking if she was free
this afternoon and wanted to meet for lunch and then I hit the treadmill.
I was taking a quick break and
taking a gulp of water when I heard a familiar voice from the other side of the
gym. I glanced over and it was exactly who I thought it was, Gary.
“Dude, I've been waiting to go on that thing ages now!” I heard someone moan, “It would be nice if you actually took notice of others!”
“Five mins,” Gary panted in response.
“Fuck off!” the guy suddenly bust, coming at the Gary.
“You fuck off!” he shouted back, stopping the machine, “can’t I work out in peace without twats like you watching me, what the hell’s wrong with you?!”
“Is everything okay sir?” I saw a member of staff walk over to them.
“No, everything’s not o-fucking-kay! I pay a fortune to be able to use this equipment but when I try to do a serious work out I get people like this guy on my back, I’m cancelling my subscription here, you can all go to hell!” he shouted. I felt myself get embarrassed for him; he always knew how to make an idiot of himself. Gary was my ex-boyfriend, and he was an ex for a reason. Suddenly I heard him shout out my name.
“Oh god…” I muttered under my breath.
“What you doing here!” he exclaimed grabbing me and pulling me in for an awkward hug.
“Isn't that obvious?” I laughed.
“God, you look great now!” My mouth dropped open and he got the hint, “not that you didn't look great before of course!” I rolled my eyes.
“Listen I've been wanting to call you, I wanted to ask you out, you know, on a date,” he was grinning and his eyes were drifting all over my body.
“No Gary,” I sighed, “I’m busy,” I said turning away.
“Busy?! I haven’t even set a date yet…”
“And you’re not going to, I’m not interested.”
“Your so stuck up you know that? All I wanted was a date, jeez, you think you’re so special don’t you?” I shook my head and raised my eye brow, was he being serious?
“Good bye Gary,” I sighed reaching for my stuff and heading for the changing rooms. I was so glad I was no longer with that obnoxious idiot.

I met Billie in a little Italian
restaurant in town. When I walked in she stood up and gave me a hug.
We ordered drinks as she told me all about her day.
“It was a nightmare! Everything was a mess, never again am I taking on a work experience girl!”
“I’m sure she wasn't that bad,” I laughed.
“Bad? No, no, she was awful; she always comes in late, wears completely inappropriate clothing and has that I’m-waay-better-than-this attitude.” We both laughed.
“Well you never guess who I bumped into today,” I signed, tucking into my carbonara.
“Who?” she asked stopping and looking up at me.
“Gary.”
“Oh my god, where?” she exclaimed.
“In the gym, he was hogging the equipment and he turned completely incredible hulk when someone confronted him.” She laughed.
“Did he talk to you?” She asked.
“Unfortunately, just the usual “I was gonna call you but it took seeing you in your gym clothes to jog my memory” type thing.” I replied rolling my eyes.
“He’s such a dick!” She exclaimed. We both laughed, knowing how right she was. When we were dating he cheated on me. I wasn't completely devastating; I was going to dump him anyway but it did hurt thinking I wasn't good enough for him.

After we finished of our food we
decided to hit the shops for some Christmas shopping. We both got James a
present. I got him the Sex in the City box set and a CD he’s been going
on about for weeks. Billie got him some hot cuff links and a box of his favorite chocolates. I also treated myself to some cute new boots which I’d
needed for a while now.
