Each year a new resolution is made, but how long will it last!


New Year Resolution

Jeff took his last drink, he savoured the moment and how it tasted. The
tantalising taste of that drink as it slowly ran down his throat, but that
would be his last for a while to come.

The next morning and it was the start of a new year, a chance to make a fresh
start, a chance to change! The man was not one for making New Year resolutions
and sticking to them, in fact he wasn't much good at sticking to anything as
his long list of failed relationships and jobs proved. Not that he was bad at
either getting a girlfriend or working, just that when either of these got a
bit too involved, and bit too much 'commitment' required, he tended to run
away and find something a bit simpler, and bit easier to handle. Jeff didn't
like too much commitment either at work or in a relationship!

But even he knew he couldn't keep running for work, promotion, responsibility
or from a girlfriend that wanted to move onto the 'next stage' and move in! Up
to now it had been the simple, easy life but that had to change, after all he
was getting on a bit now. OK this wasn't some mid-life crises, after all he
was only 32, but still he was staring to push on in years and needed to
'settle' down in work and in love! Now that was a bit scary, but he made his
resolution to stick at both, his New Year's resolution.

His current girlfriend, Carrie, was alright, she was pretty, good in bed and
could even cook, so all the signs where there that maybe he should indeed,
actually, work on this relationship thing. 'If' the question got asked, by her
about moving in, the pair of them living together, the 'next stage', then he
would, think about it. No, he would in fact say yes, well she wasn't a bad
girl and he was sure she was working up to all that. As for work, his current
job was OK, in fact he liked it, so if he was offered that promotion, this
time he would take it. This was a big commitment from Jeff, well that was what
New Year resolutions where all about, and as he was doing the work and
relations resolutions he might as well start taking care of himself as well.
That meant a new start to the year, cut out the drinking, eat more healthily
and even go back to the gym!

So, New Year's Eve had been his last drink, and the new heathier diet was
already being served up, lentil soup and boiled fish. But somehow even his
girlfriends, cooking skills couldn't make it that appetising, never mind he
was sure he would get use to it?

A week had gone by and he'd been good, no alcohol, but he'd been very tempted
to have that one quick short before bed, 'would that really count?' Plus, he'd
been eating more fish as well as rice, pasta and some brown looking stuff that
he wasn't too sure about, so surely, he deserved a drink? But he held steady.

As the weekend came up he was craving for a beer and a curry, but he had to
stay strong, after all he had made his New Year's resolution! So, with no
chance of a beer and curry he chose to do the next best thing and go to the
gym! It had been a while since he'd been to his 'local' gym but it all still
looked the same and he even recognised a few faces there. Carrie, his
girlfriend even went with him, for moral support, mind you, she'd been coming
here for a while now and the couple had even met here. But after they'd
started seeing each other Jeff seemed to fade away from the gym as football
with his local Sunday league side and going to the pub after took over.

But now he was back and anyway all that football kept him fit so going back to
the gym wouldn't be too much of a shock to his system! After Jeff and Carrie
changed they headed over to the machines and a gentle warm up. Carrie led the
way as Jeff was watching her arse in those pair of tight blue leggings 'Hmmm
she still had all her appeal as when they first met here!' First it was a
short session on the running machine for the both of them. This would be no
problem, even if Jeff hadn't been for a proper run in ages, he'd played all
that football so it would be OK, he'd be fine!

So, he and Carrie stepped onto the machines and stared. It was a gentle pace
to begin with, just enough to get the blood flowing, and to start with Jeff
was quite OK with this. A few minutes later and Carrie upped the pace on her
machine while Jeff was staring to 'feel the effects!' Maybe it was the fact
that his visits to the gym had fallen away, and stopped, and now he just did
football once a week followed by the pub. But for 'some reason' he was
defiantly feeling the effects of doing some real exercise now!

Carrie upped her pace again, she liked to start all her sessions off with a
good run on the machines, as for Jeff he was ... ... ? Well he decided enough
was enough and stepped off his machine and grabbed his towel and water from
the floor at the rear. He could feel himself breathing a bit hard and thought
that there must be something wrong with the machine 'surly he wasn't that
unfit?' As he contemplated what could be wrong the sight of his girlfriend's
arse caught his eye, again. As it bounced up and down in time with her running
motions, now that was certainly a sight to get the blood flowing.

But Jeff did have to admit to himself that this New Years resolution about
going back to the gym more often was properly overdue, maybe well overdue! A
few minutes later and Carrie had finished her run, as she stepped off her
machine she looked hot. Hot and with a couple of beads of sweat showing on her
forehead, and with one or two also appearing above and below that tight bright
yellow crop top she had on, Jeff noticed those as well. Yes, Carrie defiantly
looked hot!

As Jeff handed his girlfriend her towel and she wiped herself down the man
thought to himself just how lucky he was to have her, even if she had just out
done him on the running machine. But as they now headed off towards the
weights he was feeling more confident, after all he was much stronger than
her, so this was more his thing.

As the couple moved across the gym, Jeff could see a woman in the distance,
nearby to the main weights area, she was a small woman, compact might be the
word, but she looked stunning even for this distance. An Asian looking woman,
the man guessed at maybe Thia, Vietnamese maybe Malaysian, he wasn't sure. She
was dressed in some old looking training shoes, then a pair of small, tight
cut down denim shorts and a camouflage crop top. Her 'outfit' was revelling
and her body was quite stunning, she looked strong, muscular, with her defined
legs, arms, abs and shoulders. All glistening with a light layer of sweat
under the lights.

She had long, very long, jet black hair that came down her back almost
touching her denim shorts, she was good looking with a very serious looking
face, her obvious 'other' features where her firm round breasts, nestling in
that crop top of hers. The top might have been camouflage but there was no
hiding what it was wrapped around, she was a fit looking woman, in more ways
than one!

The other thing that Jeff noticed was that she was stood in front of a line of
large mirrors with her phone out and she was taking selfies of herself. The
woman moved around taking photos of herself from different angles 'Oh God,
what a poser!' Yes, she had an amazing body, and to get it looking like that
she must have put in many hours of hard work, but even so 'posing in front of
the mirror, really!'

As they got closer Jeff just shook his head, he had not time for 'women like
her', too much vanity, too full of herself and probably a right ... ... "Hi
Tina." Jeff was surprised that Carrie said hello and obviously knew this
woman, Tina! The two women had a quick chat and Tina even took, yet another,
selfie of her and Carrie together. As the women chatted Jeff had an
opportunity to have an even closer look at this Tina, and boy was he
impressed. His first impression about how great her body looked were all
wrong. Now that he was stood this closer to her he could see that she was in
fact even more amazing. Her arms, her legs, her body looked as if it had been
sculptured, her muscles where so defined it made him stare in awe. He did have
to control himself and make it seem as if he wasn't 'too interested', but he
was, boy was he interested. So, he didn't straight at her, nothing too
obvious, and thanks to the mirrors he got a good look at all of her, and he
very much liked what he saw.

He'd not seen such a body on a woman before and although her muscles weren't
bulging hugh, there were defiantly large but proportioned, just right, from
her small frame, to make her look like a very firm, strong woman. She looked
like she'd just stepped out of some muscle show, a bit of a muscle goddess!
Jeff wasn't that into muscle women, but on this woman! Well she has certainly
made an impression, and right now the only thing that was going around his
head at the moment was 'how absolutely fantastic she looked.'

The only down side, if there was one, was her face, not that she wasn't good
looking, she was defiantly that, but she wasn't gorgeous or beautiful, she was
just good looking. Jeff wasn't complaining, but after his eyes moved over her
stunning body he'd hopped for something just as breath-taking at the top. But
it then occurred to him that maybe this might be due to the 'look' on her face
rather than how her face looked.

As the two women chatted Jeff noticed that when Tina was looking straight at
Carrie her face was different, smiling, happy, when the smaller woman's head
moved about and she was looking at him, there was a stare on that face, a hard
stare! When Carrie got around to finally introducing Jeff to Tina the pair of
them looked at each other closely. Yes, there was defiantly 'that stare' and
it seemed as if it was aimed just at him.

The look, the stare from the muscular small woman made the tall, broad Jeff
feel a little uneasy, now that was strange, He couldn't remember anyone, let
alone a woman, making him feel like that before! But soon he was saved from
all that, as the chat between the two women came to an end and Carrie led Jeff
away towards their next workout. As the pair of them headed towards the
weights Jeff caught sight of Tina in the mirror's, she was just stood there
watching as he walked away. Her hands were rubbing together and she stood
there staring at him, it was quite freaky, a bit unnerving and, if Jeff was
being totally honest, it did unsettle him, just a bit, but only a bit!

As the couple started to mess around with the weight's Jeff couldn't get that
uneasy feeling out of him, he turned around to see if 'she' was still stood
there staring, but Tina had gone. At least that was something but he still
didn't feel good about all this. He tried to forget about it all as he picked
up a pair of dumbbells and started to get back into the rhythm of a good
workout but found himself talking to Carrie and asking her about Tina. 'How
did she know Tina?' 'Were they friends?' 'Why had she been staring at him?'
'Did Tina have any 'issues' he should know about?'

Carrie just laughed, a bit confused by her boyfriend's question and obvious
unease with her friend Tina. Carrie explained that Tina had been coming to the
gym for about 6 months now, yes, they were friends but she'd only seen Tina
here at the gym, and if Jeff had been coming to the gym more often, instead of
going to the pub he would have met Tina as well! 'Good point!' Jeff consoled
himself that 'maybe' he'd gotten the wrong end of the stick and had imagined
it all and was now focused on getting back into the swing of being in the gym
again, and keeping his New Year's resolution.

After a while and Jeff thought he'd forgotten all about Tina and that stare of
hers, he was enjoying being back in the gym but was very aware that he'd been
away too long. Carrie had finished her weights set and had gone off to do some
aerobic stuff and the man was pleased that he could slow down a bit now
without his girlfriend around and catch his breath. Yes, he's been away far
too long and was starting to feel it now.

So, with Carrie out the way he could ease off, he didn't want to stop, just
wanted to calm it down a bit, get his second wind! Jeff spent another five
minutes or so, maybe less, slowly, carrying on until it was time to take a
well-earned break. With Carrie, away and out of sight he could relax a bit
now, Jeff stretched and rolled his shoulders, that last session had been a
slight struggle for him. But with his girlfriend there he'd had to carry on,
can't stop and let her see him struggling, especially as he'd gone straight in
with the high weights and not expected to suffer so much!

With the weights put to one side Jeff moved around relaxing his now slightly
tired muscles after their first real work out in a long time. As he moved
around a side room came in sight, Jeff remembered it had been a bit of
specialist weights room in the past, an area put aside for the more dedicated
people to train out of the way of the normal gym goer. He strolled over to see
if it was still the same and looking inside.

It was a good size room, not too small but not large enough to have too many
people in there all at the same time. It was well equipped, and obviously
stocked with the serious, more dedicated person in mind. One wall was lined
with mirrors so the user could watch how there where performing and not to be
used to take selfies as was currently going on with Tina stood there! 'Isn't
that typical' Jeff thought as he looked into the 'training room' and watched
as the small, well developed woman posed, again, in front of the mirror,
taking more photos of herself on her phone.

'OK, so she looked good, she looked really good but surely you don't have to
take that many photo's, do you?' Jeff was beginning to think that this woman,
Tina, was just a bit too full of herself and needed to be ... ... ! At that
moment, she looked up from her phone and could see Jeff looking at her from
the doorway in the mirror. The look she gave him, the look on her face told
its own story she wasn't pleased to see him 'spying on her!'

She twisted, half turned around so now she was looking at him properly and the
look on her face hadn't changed. In fact, her stare, her almost pouting lips
and the frown on her forehead were more noticeable, more defined, she really
didn't like him looking at her. But for some reason this kind of pleased Jeff,
he even found it a little 'amusing!' Enough for him to chuckled to himself
which quickly overflowed into a slight giggle and then a laugh, 'with a body
like that, dressed that way and posing in front of a mirror taking photos and
she didn't like him looking, weird! "Ha Ha Ha" Jeff turned around, he didn't
know why but he was pleased, even happy with the knowledge that he'd annoyed
her in some way.

'Really some people!' He didn't know why people did that, take photos of
themselves, he wasn't one for posers, he didn't get on with people who had
high opinions of themselves, like her, even if she did look great, even
stunning. She obviously has a bit of self-gratification going on there, so he
was pleased with the fact that ... ... THUD! OOOHHHHH!

As Jeff, had turned around, chuckling out aloud, he'd gone to take a step away
and go and find Carrie when suddenly something hard, sharp had come down on
his shoulder and he'd been spun around. Now as he went spinning around and
stopped he saw nothing, he looked down, and there was Tina, the small woman
was there right in front of him with her arm up and her, strong, hand on his
shoulder. It took a second or two before this had all sunk in and he'd
realised that she must have grabbed hold of him from behind and then
'somehow', twisted him around. He was now back to looking into the weights
room, back to looking at her and her staring back at him. "Have you got
something you want to say to me?"

The woman's tone was harsh, firm, authorities, her eyes fixed on his as she
looked up at him, and that look on her face, the look of an upset, irritated
woman, an annoyed Tina! For him to make fun, laugh at her could not go
unchallenged, and she was defiantly the type of a woman that would not let
something like that go. As she reached out and grabbed onto the mocking man
and twirled him around back to face her she felt her heart beat just that
little bit faster. The anticipation of what might happen next excited her, but
there was also her sensible side that told her 'she'd made a promise and needs
to keep to it!'

Jeff was a bit shocked by all this, quite taken aback by this poser, this
stuck-up prima donna, who had the nerve to turn him around and now look at
him, questioning 'him' in this way. 'Who did she think she was?' Their eyes
met, they each looked deep into the other person, the tall broad man and the
smaller, fit, woman. They both knew they shouldn't, they both knew it was
wrong, even childish, but they both couldn't help themselves THUD! SMACK!
OOOHHHH! OOOWWWW!

In a piece of perfect timing, both Jeff and Tina had made their move, both had
acted on impulse and both had had a go at the other in front of them, all at
the same time! Jeff had gone for a straight forward shovel, something he'd got
from his time playing football. Both his hands had come up and he'd pushed
hard into the 'person' in front of him and shoving Tina backwards. He hadn't
been looking where his open hands had made contact, but at the moment of
'impact' he knew he had 'possibly' made a mistake as he felt his hands land on
her large, round, firm breasts! Sending the woman backwards.

But Tina had other things on her mind, not that she hadn't noticed his hands
'position', and she hadn't made a mistake like that. She'd also gone for a
simple move, an open hand slap across his smirking face. Her arm had swung
around and that straight, hard, hand had come crashing down across his cheek,
and she knew, from experience one of her slaps would leave a bright red mark
and a stinging sensation that would last for ages. And indeed, the blow was
sharp and strong, taking the unprepared man by surprise and sending his
staggering off to the side and away from her.

With Tina going backwards and Jeff to the side now there was some distance
between the two of them, as the pair steadied themselves and took in what had
just happened. Jeff rubbed the side of his stinging, sore face and Tina's
hands came up and cupped her breasts, not quite believing that the man had
just thrusted his hands into them like that. Another second went by and then
their eyes once more fell onto each other, stares were made, teeth were
gritted, eyebrows were raised and ... ...

There was now a loud and very heated exchange between the two of them, or
another description might be that they just shouted at each other. But neither
was in the mood to let the other one go first so it was now a competition as
to who could out shout the other! As they stare, shouted and shrieked at each
other they slowly got closer and closer, step by step the two now very angry
people where almost on top of each other. He looked down at her, she looked up
at him, their faces now so close together that they could feel the spit fly
off the others tongue, as well as the insults!

They faces were almost touching when THUD! OOOHHHWWW! Then there was a moments
silence as, after getting so close, and so angry with each other there had
only been one outcome for this 'predicament', and Tina had taken it! The
smaller woman had taken the only option open to her, she'd struck first, she'd
been clenching her fist for a while and knew now was the right moment to use
it. So, Tina had drawn her arm back and sent that strong, clenched fist
forwards, straight into Jeff's gut, hard and fast it went in. Knocking the
wind out of him, stopping him in an instant and hurting him all at the same
time.

The man was again taken by surprise, he'd been so focused on the woman, on her
face, and that angry look she had, plus how she'd slapped him. At that moment,
all he was doing was trying desperately to control his anger, and not do
anything, else, as silly as shoving her again. But now he was bent over in
pain from her harsh strike, 'boy did that hurt' and he took a moment to take
the pain, to overcome it and to steady himself. All this time Tina was still
stood there, pleased with herself, that would teach him to even think about
putting his hands on her again, 'how dare he!'

The woman, pleased with herself relaxed for a second she used her arm to flick
her extremely long hair back over her shoulder and out of the way. As she
tossed her head back, pushed her hair back and her eyes came back towards the
man, and with her sense of satisfaction brimming inside her 'Oh Shit!' SMACK!
Jeff's control of his temper had been lost and as the doubled over man dealt
with his pain and then raised himself up he saw his opportunity and brought
his arm up and whacked the woman with the back of his hand across her now
grinning face.

Although he knew he shouldn't have, he also knew he wanted to hit her and 'boy
did it feel good' to do that. Tina was now the one shocked and taken by
surprise as it was her who staggered backwards under the harsh blow the tall
man had dished out. As the woman fell, she turned and grabbed onto a rack of
weights that where nearby, so preventing her from the total embarrassment of
dropping to the floor. But she was not happy, not happy in the least!

With 'honours even' or so he thought, Jeff turned around and went to leave
'that will teach her that she can't ... ... ' WHACK! OOOOHHHHH!

But Tina was now playing a 'tit for tat' game, and it was her turn to hit out,
which she did. All Jeff felt was a sharp blow to the back of his leg, followed
by a wobbling sensation and then falling down onto his knees. This was just as
quickly followed up by a, CRACK! He didn't know what happened just felt it, if
he'd just turned towards the mirror and watched he would have seen Tina throw
herself into a spin. As she went around her leg went up and straight and that
old trainer of her found its marks on the side of the knelt man's head.

His head burst into a thousand sharp splinters of hurt and pain, and as the
room around him began to spin he wondered what the hell had just happened? It
was now that he felt something else, 'something' was now on the back of his
legs as he knelt there on the ground, trying to recover. Jeff ignored this, he
had other things to deal with, the pain in his head. But he should have paid
more attention to this, much more.

Tina had enjoyed seeing the man on his knee and in pain, but she wanted more,
much more. The woman moved over to where the weights were picked up one of the
long metal bars, there were not weights on the end, but that didn't matter she
had 'other' plans for how she was going to use this. With the bar in her hands
she'd gone over to the man on his knees, stepped up onto the backs of his legs
as he knelt there, dealing with his pain. Then she'd put that bar over his
head, under the confused man's chin and pulled up HHHUUUUUUU!

Standing on the backs of his legs and pulling up under his chin suddenly
cleared the man's head and now he was totally focused on his current
predicament! Jeff panicked as his head was being harshly pulled up, he was now
looking straight into Tina's focused face. She looked down at the man and the
look of panic in his eyes pleased her. The man grabbed onto the bar, he tried
to pull it down and break it free of her grip, but this woman was indeed
strong! Her grip was firm, her arms flexed as she pulled up and was that a
little smile on her face now?

In another part of the gym Carrie had just finished off a set of aerobic
exercises, the sweat was now starting to run down her trim, fit body and she
went over towards the set of shelves that held a selection of towels for the
gym members to use. As she approached there was a youth there restocking the
supply of towels, a young lad, one of the part time members of staff here at
the gym.

In fact, there were a number of youthful lads working here at the gym and
Carrie knew that with all these big young cocks around here she was spoilt for
choice. She smiled at the nervous looking lad as she took a towel from the
pile he was holding and started to rub it across her chest. She'd be silly not
to take advantage of 'all that was on offer' here at the gym, so much for her
New Year's resolution to keep her hands off of virial young lads. Carrie was
trying to keep herself committed to her relationship with Jeff, but she lacked
the will power to resist a pleasing lad. She blamed the gym for hiring such
sweet lads as she leads this one off towards the sauna. Only two weeks or so
into the new year and she'd broken her New Year's resolution, in fact this
would be the second or third times so far, but who's counting.

Back in the training room and Jeff was coughing and spluttering on the floor,
Tina and brought him close to the point of passing out when she'd released her
grip, the bar had dropped to the floor and so had the man. The big man had
been brought down by the small powerhouse of a woman, but she wasn't finished
with him yet! Tina reached down and grabbed a handful of Jeff's hair and
yanked the bewildered man back up onto his knees. Still gasping for air and
with his head spinning continually with confusions WHACK! She gave him a
strong backhand across his muddled looking face, just to focus his attention
back on her.

Tina was a bit disappointed, not with Jeff she expected nothing special from
him, she was disappointed in herself. Two weeks into the new year and already
she'd broken her resolution 'stop picking on the men!' Maybe she just couldn't
help herself, WHACK! Another sharp blow to keep Jeff focused, Tina could see
the look deep in the man's eyes as he knelt before her, a look she knew. The
look of a scared, strong man coming to terms with the knowledge that this
woman, this small woman was stronger than him and in control. Yes, Tina was
smiling now, but there was also something else going through her mind.

If she'd broken this New Year's resolution about beating up on a man she might
as well forget about her other resolution, the one about 'not stealing a man's
girlfriend, again!' As she pulled Jeff upwards by his hair SMACK! Her fist
slammed into his face, the blood that ran from his nose pleased her, now she
had really begun! When this man was finished with she'd go after his
girlfriend and have her, after all Carrie did have the most cuties arse here
in the gym, CRACK! Another blow that sent the man tumbling backwards, once she
had him fully in her power, the phone would come out and she'd take some
photo's 'posing with her beaten man, see how he likes those?' But for now,
SMACK! UUUHHH!

If Tina knew Carrie she'd been either in the sauna or in the locker room and
there would be one of those gym staff boys with her. Tina didn't mind, the
lads here were cute, even she liked them, it was the men she had issues with,
THUD! OOOWWWHHH!

For Tina, it was another broken New Year's resolution and another broken man,
but there was an upside, the next resolution she broke would mean she would be
having Carrie, so it wasn't all bad ... ... !
