Part Three | |
|
Giovanni looked genuinely astonished when I walked into the crowded boxing gym and gave him a smile and a big hug. He looked at me as though I were a complete stranger but when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirrored wall and gasped in embarrassment. Both our faces were red when our eyes finally met and he looked seriously angry. "Who are you?" he shouted at me and unable to answer him truthfully, I burst into tears and ran into the ladies room. 
I felt like such a wimp for doing that, but I realized too late that of course Giovanni didn't recognize my scrawny body. He only knew the ripped beast I became after I had drank my special potion. I pulled the thermos from my handbag and swallowed the sweet red elixir until I felt it warming me from my toes and spreading throughout my skinny frame. My eyes fluttered and I didn't feel anything for a few seconds. I thought, to my horror that maybe the formula didn't work anymore! That my body had developed a tolerance to it! "Oh-no," I moaned, as just then, the bathroom door slammed open and a deep male voice shouted, echoing off the tiles: "Hey, you! Come out here right now!" I was terrified and crouched down behind the locked stall door, hoping the person would just go away if I didn't answer. "You hear me?" the gruff voice bellowed. He must have heard me whimpering because he started towards the stall where I was hiding. I cringed and could feel my blood running cold, but just as suddenly, my terror turned into something else; courage as I felt my skinny arms and legs growing rapidly, my pecs expanding and nearly tearing the tight T-shirt clean off my back! My lats widened and my gluts hardened into two huge rounded massive muscles! My quads flexed by themselves, the cuts so deep and the muscles so hard and firm that the small bathroom stall couldn't contain my size any longer! My biceps bulged massively and my abs rippled with a deep cut six pack. I stood up from the floor and flung the stall door open, gazing upon the muscleman who I now had to look down to see. His mouth hung open mute with fear and his skin turned a few shades whiter, his bulging eyes straining out of their sockets. "Aaaaaaaaaaggghhh!" he screamed like a baby and bolted as fast as he could from the ladies room. I came out and there in front of me was the entire gym looking at me. "Sherri?" Giovanni squinted as if seeing me for the first time. "Where's that little wimpy girl that just came in here?" I looked around as if I hadn't a clue. "Um, I don't know," I said. The big guy that had gone in the bathroom came behind Giovanni and whispered something to him. Giovanni's eyes lit up and he shot me a gaze that was both knowing and secretive. | |
