I look at Allison, my eyes full of tears. “I know. It’s… it’s amazing. It’s a real baby.”
Allison laughs, “Yes Charlie, it’s a real baby.”
“I mean, wow, look.” I show her the picture.
“Is it a little more real now?”
I sigh, “Yeah,” as I stare at the photo.
“So, what is it?”
I take a deep breath, flipping to the next piece of paper. “It’s a boy…”
Allison’s face lights up. “It is?”
“Just like in my dreams. Allison, it’s all coming true. I’m,” I pause, “we’re going to have a boy. I think we should name him Lyric.”
Allison looks at Sonia who is sitting next to us watching. “Well Charlie, I’ve never told you this but as long as I can remember I have wanted to name my son Lyric.”
Sonia pipes in, “It’s true Charlie. When she told me about your dream and the baby’s name I about had a heart attack. It was just another sign that you two are meant to be.”
“Really?” I look at Allison, surprised.
“Really Charlie… You know my love of music and how I pay attention to the lyrics of songs. I saw a little boy named Lyric years ago and just fell in love with the name. I wanted to make sure it was a boy before I said anything to you.”
“So it is true. All my dreams are coming true.”
I wrap my arms around Allison as the vision of my last dream where Jacquelyn came to pick our son up pops in my head but I quickly dismiss it, trying not to ruin the excitement for my son, our son.
A
t 10 am we all meet at our CrossFit box ready for the group New Years WOD.
“Seriously? Only crazy people would meet this early on New Years day to workout. I swear, this place is a cult.” Nichole says holding her head with dark sunglasses trying to hide her hangover.
We all laugh, knowing what Nichole is saying is totally true but we don’t care.
“I know. It’s crazy. I tell everyone yes, I drank the Kool-Aid and now I’m addicted but you just wait. You’ll be happy you came with us this morning,” Allison tries to comfort her sister. “I’m not going to lie, this is going to kick your ass but you’ll have fun doing it. I promise.”
“Ok everyone. Gather around, let’s get this thing going.” Andy yells out to all the other CrossFitters. “Ok, I want you to break into two equal teams. While one team runs 400 meters, the other team will be doing 20 squats, one burpee and six mountain climbers. Hence, 2016…” he smiles. “Everyone gets a stack of cards to count on their own. Only once the entire team is back from running can the next team begin their run. As you run out place the cards you turned in the bucket either labeled team one or team two. We will do three rounds. The team with the most cards in the bucket, wins. Everyone got it?”
Nichole looks at me, “Ok, help. Show me what these moves are again?”
I drop to the ground, doing a pushup before bringing my knees back into my chest and jumping straight up, high into the air, “That’s a burpee.” Then I go to a plank position to show her mountain climbers by bringing my leg up one at a time to my elbow. “And those are mountain climbers. Each leg together counts as one so only count when you bring your right leg up.” I pull her in close into me, “Don’t worry doll. You got this. And everyone does it together so I’ll be right by your side. Even on the run.” I kiss her sweetly trying to encourage her more.
Nichole shakes her head, “Why did I agree to this?”
“Because you love me…” I reply.
Both Charlie and Allison look at Nichole to see her reaction before stepping away, giving us space.
Nichole sits still, not responding but not running either, which makes me smile. I don’t need to hear her words though; her face says it all.
I smirk, leaning in, kissing her before I whisper, “I love you, too. And guess what? I got a text from my mom this morning saying she’s in rehab. Hopefully just like you, she’s coming around to the idea of change in her life, for the better.” I grab her ass. “Did I thank you enough for going with me to see her?”
Nichole laughs, “Uh, yes, I was sore for a couple of days after that.”
“Hmm… maybe we can do it again,” I raise my eyebrows before ducking my head into her neck, kissing it before licking up to her ear.
Andy breaks our moment yelling out, “Ok, everyone ready?” He counts out the teams to make sure they’re equal. “Ok. Three, two, one – Go!”
A big group piles out the door heading for their run. I hit Nichole’s arm as we run next to each other, winking at her before giving her a sexy grin. “You got this baby. Don’t over think it. Just roll with it.”
She smiles back, “You know I’d rather be rolling around with you.”
“That’s my girl,” I slap her ass as we finish the run.
As we enter the gym
Bad Girlfriend
by Theory of a Deadman plays over the speakers talking about her being naughty to the end and I can’t help but smirk as I look at Nichole.
“Ok, team two – go! Team one start your squats,” Andy yells out.
Nichole squats down and I can’t help but reach out and grab her small round ass as she stands back up. “Oh Nic, that ass. I’m not sure I can make it through watching you dip down that low.”
Nichole turns around, giving me a sexy grin, “Hands off, lover boy. Play your cards right and I see a hot shower in our near future.”
“Ok you guys. Focus on the WOD,” Allison laughs.
“I am. I can’t wait to blow my wod,” I can’t help but respond in my cocky way.
After two rounds are complete we head out for the final run. I run up beside Nichole, sweat dripping down my bare chest. “How you doing doll?”
She gives me a don’t-ask look making me laugh. “You got this. I’ve worked you out harder than this in my bed.”
“True. I guess you’ll owe me a long slow fuck after this, I’m not sure if I will be able to handle anything more.”
I stop instantly, pulling her in close, both of us sweaty and breathing hard. “I can’t wait to fuck you slowly. My dick got hard just hearing you say it.” I push myself against her so she can feel me. “God, I will never get enough of you.” I admit as I let her go and we head back in through the door to begin our squats.
This time Nichole turns around to face me as we both squat up and down. Staring at each other with nothing but hunger, trying hard to finish the WOD and not each other.
“Ok hurry up. The first group is coming back. Come on, push it. Finish strong,” Andy yells out waiting for the last of the runners to return before yelling, “Time! Ok everyone. Put your cards in the bin.”
I grab Nichole, holding her close, “You did it doll. See it wasn’t that bad.”
“Yay, Nichole. You did it,” Allison yells out still trying to catch her breath.
“Good job Nic,” Charlie holds up his hand to give her a high five.
“So, what did you think?” Allison asks.
Nichole smiles, “Ok, I’ll admit it, that was fun. I don’t know about drinking the Kool-aid or anything but yeah, I would come back.”
“That’s my girl. I love watching you sweat,” I whisper in her ear.
“Gather around everyone, the cards have been tallied. Ok, group one had 167 cards and group two had 148… Group one wins. Good job everyone. Happy New Year.”
Everyone cheers as Charlie celebrates with Allison before slapping high five to me. “Good job you guys. Happy New Year. I have a feeling it’s going to be a great year,” Charlie says.
C
harlie and I spend the rest of the day being lazy, curled up on the couch both reading while wrapped up in each other’s arms. Charlie looks from his book down to me lying on his chest. Looking back to his book, then me again, he puts the book down and reaches down to caress my breast.
I smile, moving my arm to allow his advance but continue my reading. Charlie takes full advantage and starts to caress me more, teasing me through my shirt before he unbuttons my top reaching in to feel my thin lace bra.
I’m trying to focus on my book but am having a hard time as Charlie pulls down my bra and rubs his fingers softly around my areola before pulling on my nipple. He teases it, pulling it hard then letting go and rubbing it again.
My breath picks up as I’m finally forced to put my book down, positioning my body for better access to Charlie’s little game. I’ve never been so turned on by someone just playing with my breast and before long I’m panting, feeling just as aroused as I would be if he were licking my clit.
I wrap my leg around his, turning to my side, rubbing up against him, panting hard, feeling the need to cum growing deep inside. Charlie knows exactly what he’s doing as he keeps up his game, pulling harder before letting go quickly and flicking my nipple back and forth.
My breath becomes deeper and harsher, the hunger inside me growing out of control.
Charlie moves quickly, pushing me to my back and wrapping his mouth around my nipple, licking slowly at first then quicker until he feels my body tense, ready to release.
Wrapping one hand in between my legs, he applies pressure on my mound as he bites my nipple softly, pushing me over the edge, letting go as he feels my body start to release in a beautiful orgasm while he sucks softly on my nipple.
I start to come down and am shocked that he just made me cum by just playing with my nipple.
“Wow. How did you do that? You never cease to amaze me. How do you know ways to make me cum that I didn’t even know were possible?”
Charlie takes a short breath in, hiding his face in my stomach, ignoring my question and unbuttoning my pants.
I smile from my sexual bliss and knowing it’s going to happen again shortly until the thought comes into my mind.
Shit, of course. That’s why. This is what he did for a living. Ugh. Ok, don’t go there.
I push the idea out of my mind, and instead form a plan. His birthday is coming up and I finally have an idea of something special I can do for him.
Thinking positively again, I reach down, pulling Charlie up to my face to kiss him while I reach down to unbuckle his pants. Climbing on top of him, I slide down his hard body, kissing my way down to return the favor for my surprisingly phenomenal orgasm.
