The Exposure Within

By T.L. Taylor

Zoey is not the stereotypical emo skateboard type but a cute, busty woman who rocks inline skates. She’s trying to further her journalism apprenticeship but has hit a bit of a lull. This, combined with a mundane routine and struggling to find any women her type, forces her decision to try something new and hire a personal trainer.

Alexa is outrageously proud and gay. A tomboy who loves breaking a sweat on the punch bag at the gym where she works, she isn’t afraid to speak her mind and will go for whatever she wants. Her interests include women, flirting with women, seducing women, sleeping with women ... and then she meets Zoey.

When two fit, attractive women meet in an environment that encourages closeness, sweat, and groans, it doesn’t leave much to the imagination. Their relationship begins to heat up on the gym floor as they both realise they’re going to get more than what they signed up for.

Then Zoey uncovers a deviant blackmail scenario involving the boss of the gym and her hot new crush. Just what her writing needs -- a scandalous story to expose! But at what cost? Will it ruin their potential closeness? And is the story too risky?

Chapter 1: Zoey

Another day, another creepy DM from a guy in Zoey’s rollerblading group chat. You’d think he’d get the hint after never replying to him, but, no, he was annoyingly persistent. Although there were plenty of girls in the same group, none of them were really her type. That said, did she even have a type after the disastrous relationship during her stint at university? And even if there was a girl who ticked all her boxes, she could never guarantee they would return her interest. After all, not all gay girls resembled your stereotypical Ellen, or Big Boo. She huffed and rolled over in her cheap IKEA bed. She’d dreamed, no pun intended, of a plush, super king, Silentnight setup, but sadly, a journalism apprenticeship just didn’t allow for such luxuries. She re-read the message:

Hey gorgeous. About time you ‘roll’ into my arms, isn’t it?

Zoey huffed again, with an even more frustrated exhalation this time.

Enough is enough, she thought. It’s about time I got my ass up and into something new!

* * * *

It was a sunny Saturday morning during the Easter bank holiday weekend, which meant one thing: rollerblading session after breakfast! Right around the corner from Zoey’s humble abode, next to the trickling river, was a perfectly smooth, freshly laid chunk of tarmac. Whilst most people would see this as an eye sore ahead of the new supermarket that was due to be built, she saw it as her own private track. What more could she want! Apart from pancakes, with streaky bacon, and maple syrup, who wouldn’t want to start their day that way? She opened the fridge and had a stare off with the bacon. Just as she was about to reach in and take the mouth-watering, salty treat, she clocked the blueberries on the shelf below. A sensible little voice popped up in her head, and she knew which option she should choose, but it was the polar opposite to what she wanted.

Damn you, blueberries.

Before getting her skates on, Zoey decided to kick start her something new by jumping on to a new Google search and typing in: L-o-c-a-l G-y-m. The page immediately became flooded with results. That was the easy part. The hard part was to try and find a gym that wouldn’t be intimidating or full of meatheads hogging all the racks. Though she was of slight build, she enjoyed using the squat rack to help keep her booty strong for blading competitions. Plus, wearing tight jeans with her peachy derriere sitting pretty on top of her long legs filled her with inner confidence; a rare feeling these days.

She took interest in a gym which looked to have a wide range of equipment, as well as nice, clean changing rooms, even if they were of a communal style rather than individual cubicles. The thought of changing in front of other girls made Zoey feel a little uncomfortable, but the mention of a sauna and hot tub excited her. What better way to soothe aches and pains after a hard workout than a soak in warm, toasty bubbles, with jets hitting all your good spots!

CLICK!

Whoop, congratulations on taking the first step to a healthier lifestyle! We will see you tomorrow, at eleven a.m. You’re booked in with Alex, The confirmation email read.

Alex. I wonder what he’ll be like, Zoey pondered. Who would have thought it? A personal trainer, on a Sunday, and a Bank Holiday!

If that wasn’t something new, she didn’t know what was.

Feeling accomplished with taking action to make a positive change in her somewhat mundane life, on top of opting for the healthier breakfast
