Chinese after the Gym I was drenched in sweat and exhausted as I walked through the door after my workout My gym bag slid off my shoulder onto the floor and the smell hit me immediately savory garlicky and downright irresistible I rounded the corner to find him standing there smiling with a spread of Asian takeout neatly arranged on the kitchen counter Figured you d be hungry he said gesturing to the containers There was broccoli beef General chicken and pork fried rice basically everything I d been craving but trying to avoid for the sake of my so-called fitness goals My stomach growled louder than I d like to admit and he chuckled handing me a plate We sat down together and I didn t even try to pretend I was going to eat slowly The first bite of that sweet tangy chicken was pure bliss He watched me with a teasing grin probably noting how I went back for seconds before he even finished his first plate So he started leaning back in his chair how s the gym going Feeling stronger I let out a half-laugh half-sigh Stronger maybe But definitely heavier I patted my belly for emphasis and he gave me a soft smile I don t know if these workouts are working or if I m just canceling them out with all the food Hey he said nudging my leg under the table You re working hard and you re still you I like you extra pounds and all I rolled my eyes at the clich but inside it felt good to hear We finished the meal together him insisting I try more of the broccoli beef while I savored every grain of that pork fried rice Maybe I wasn t crushing my fitness goals but sitting there with him laughing and sharing a meal I couldn t say I wasn t winning in some other way
