"Yo, Mike," I said, as he walked by my station.
"Yes, Richard By-the-Way?" he replied, teasing me again about my habit of saying "I'm Richard, by the way," when introducing myself to new folks at the gym.
"Would you do me a favor and spot me on this set? I haven't bench this much before..."
"Why certainly," he nodded.
I was doing 225 lbs., which isn't that much but it's still more than I had ever done previously.
"Are you sure about this?" he asked. Mike had been paying attention to me since I joined the gym in July. I was pleased that he knew it was more than I had ever done before.
I looked up at him and smiled.
And smiled. And smiled.
I mean, Christamighty damn! Is there anything nicer than looking up at a 6'3, 195 lb. hunk, all muscle, salt and pepper crew cut and an absolutely gorgeous mustche? With your head six inches from his crotch? Ummmm....
"Uh, Richard, are you ready?"
"Oh, yeah, here we go."
He lifted off and I took it slow. One, two, three, four, breathing in and out, pausing slightly after four, five, six, seven.
My arms were beginning to tremble and he moved closer, ready to grab it. I could feel his crotch leaning against my head!
Eight, nine.
"I didn't think you could do this much," I heard him murmur.
TEN!
"Wait!" I grunted as he reached for the bar.
Eleven, twelve.
I was groaning by that point.
I dropped the weight back and he caught it, lowering it to the
stand.
I sat up, feeling dizzy, feeling pumped.
"Richard!" he said. "I don't believe you did that. How much more
than you usually do...?"
"Oh, I don't know," I gasped. "Maybe 40 lbs....?"
"You're really getting into this, aren't you?" he asked.
I grinned.
"All it takes is the proper motivation..." I answered.
"Such as...?"
I grinned wider. "Well, having your crotch against my head, for
one thing..."
He tweaked my tit.
"See you in the shower...?"
"Always prepared," I nodded. -- Richard P. Jasper, Head Acquisitions Department Emory University General Libraries librpj@emoryu1.cc.emory.edu (or) LIBRPJ@emuvm1.BITNET
