He was on the mat first. I’d met him before, he’s a huge African man, maybe 6’4″ but very light on his (size 14) feet… and inordinately co-coordinated. I mean, this guy can really move. AIRY.

“Hey,” he said as I approached. “Elsa, right?”

“Yeah. Hi, Gil.”

“Hi. You have a secret admirer” he said.

“Really? Just one?” I snorted.

He laughed. “Yeah, you probably have more than one.”

“I better have more than one or I’m going home,” I said. “And say. Are you a Gemini? I’ve been meaning to ask you this.”

“Aquarius,” he said.

“Oh. I thought you were a Gemini for sure.”

“Why is that?”

“Well that day we met, you got on the crosstrainer next to me?”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. And you were flirting with me.”

“Yeah.”

“And I was on one side of you and you were flirting with the gal on the other side of you too. See? Dual flirting! But on top of that you were speaking English to me and Spanish to her,” I smiled. “I was impressed with this. I thought you were something else. A sight to see. And all this, while you’re doing what I do on the cross trainer, with your huge feet, which really should have handicapped you in that situation.”

He just nodded. I don’t think he knew what to say.

“So anyway,” I said, moving my head from side to side. Flirting over here. Flirting over there. English over here. Spanish over there. You had two complete conversations going and you know… Gemini is dual-minded like that. And innately good with languages. I can hardly believe you’re not a Gemini. You may be Aquarius, but I guarantee you, you’ve got Gemini somewhere. Gemini. It’s Mercury ruled and look at your winged feet.”

He looked down at his feet and I laughed.

“Because how the hell you could copy my moves like that, first time out and with giant feet? I don’t know. I am still marveling. But anyway, about my crush, don’t tell me. I don’t think I want to know.”

“Well he’s there talking about you….”

“Don’t tell me, I said. Don’t tell me who and don’t tell me what.”

“Well he’s in the locker room and he says, do you know that woman out there…”

Oh brother. They really do gossip in the locker room.

So do you think this guy has Gemini or what?
