Quiting the gym

Shifting from one foot to the other Jerry felt a little unease as he waited for one of the front desk attendants at SpaFreu to go get Reina. He wanted to stay at the gym, he felt like he was safe here, but he couldn’t do it under false pretenses. Looking around the place now he didn’t see a single man around, all but confirming his suspicions. When he saw the pretty blonde he smiled at her, and when she returned it his heart added an extra beat. “How is my newest and favorite client? Geraldine the spear ruler!”

“Umm no, Jerry and can we talk in private?” The look on her face told him she knew his name, so she was probably just bringing up part of their conversation from the previous day to connect with him. He was just so bad with people and he trusted her, of course she knew his name.

“Yeah, we can head to my office.” She turned to walk away and Jerry followed. “Does it bother you that I called you Geraline?”

It did, he admitted to it being a pretty name, but he did not want to be referred to by a girls name, pretty or not. “Well that isn’t who I am, I don’t look much like a girl called Geraldine and umm definitely not any type of ruler.” Except maybe in some of my video games where I have control and power, unlike in real life.

Reina motioned for Jerri to have a seat while she walked around her desk and eyed her up. The girl needed so much help and she wondered if she was coming to see about the plan to help her get to where she wanted to be. “Well Jerri, tell me what can I do for you today?”

“I think there might be a misunderstanding, I umm.” Jerry looked out the glass window between stripings of frosted glass that was there from privacy to look out on the gym floor. “I really don’t see any men out there and I’m not gay if that is what you were thinking.”

Reina tilted her head and squinted at the shy unkempt girl in front of her. “Jerry I don’t think you are gay, I asked your orentation yesterday remember? Are you saying you would feel more comfortable here if there were men for you to look at?” Poor thing was so hard up for male attention that she wanted some beefcake to look at as she worked out.

“You don’t!? And well maybe? I don’t know.” He would rather look at women, it made the atmosphere so much better and maybe that is hy he felt safe here. No other guys around for him to compare himself against and not get those creeping thoughts that they were judging him.

“Jerri, do you feel like you need to quit? Or do you trust me enough that I can build you up to be the Spear Ruler?” She meant it as a reference to her full name, but if she could make her into a hot enough girl she might rule a few men’s spears that she was interested in.

“I trust you Reina and I want to stay here. It is funny, I felt more confident yesterday and Travis my roommate even noticed me. Of course he teased me about wearing a pink dress.”

“I’m guessing you don’t wear dresses a lot around the house.” She didn’t shave her legs, it was no wonder she didn’t wear any dresses. Poor thing was such a tomboy that she had just fully given up on being feminine and here she was trying to get back what she gave up so she could attract someone and maybe that someone was this roommate Travis.

Jerry shook his head to the ridiculous question. What kind of man wore women’s clothes? He would never wear something so girly and feminine. Though he could do it as a lark, it was okay to show your feminine side and he bet the joke would get Trav’s attention. “It would probably get his attention if I did it as a joke.” Jerry laughed nervously while Reina looked on with pity that his girl wanted this man’s attention and approval, but brushed off getting dressed up like a joke.

“Jerri, what if we got you all dressed up. I mean to the nines, do you think Travis would pay attention to that?” A plan started to form in her head about helping her. Maybe if she saw how pretty she could be she would be happier with who she was.

“His attention?” Jerry laughed at the thought of it, like how the football players would put on cheerleaders gear for the powderpuff game back in school with how ridiculous they looked. “I bet he wouldn’t be able to take his eyes off me.”

“Lets do it then.”

“Pardon?”

“At the end of the month I am going to help bring that inner Geraldine to the surface and we are going to see just how confident you can be and get plenty of attention from this Travis.” Reina leaned forward on her desk, resting her head on her clasped hands as she looked at the obviously nervous girl.

“No, I don’t know about that I was just talking, joking you know.” It sounded like a good laugh, but he wasn’t going to go and do that. What if Travis thought he was gay or something with how she was talking about getting all dressed up like it was going to be a show at a drag club or something.

“Jerri, do you trust me?”

“I do, I just don’t know…”

“If you trust me you have to follow my advice. For now you don’t have to think about it, we can focus on your training. Now run along and get changed and I will setup a few things here for you.”

Sending Jerri off to go get changed Reina pulled up the mental training files for her adding a few more lines. “Not only is it okay to be femenine, you want to be more feminine.” She inserted another line “Geraldine is a beautiful and feminine name, it is okay be called that name. It is the name of the Spear Ruler, someone confident and feminine. You are Geraldine.“ Then the last line for now. “You want to take better care of yourself, body hair is for men, not someone as feminine as you Geraldine.” With that she added a spa package to her account for after the training today and some goodies for her to take home in hopes she would continue to take care of herself.

Hitting save on her computer Reina stood up and looked down at the gym floor, she had more than a few clients out there, but none of them were as profitable as this girl. That was a big motivator to push her, but another part was because after talking with her. She really wanted to help Jerri, the girl had trapped herself in a corner that she didn’t know how to get out of alone. “I wonder if she has any friends like herself that I could help too?” She asked herself, thinking how great it would be if she could combine some of the loves in her life. Helping others and being healthy and if doing that allowed her to buy a car that was from the current century that would be a big plus.
