Chapter 16

That night, I decided to wait for Lexie to make the first call. Perhaps I was being stubborn but to be truthful my trust in Lexie was gone. I went through my normal routine and then trained Chrissy Haynes every night. In the first month she made remarkable gains. She had made huge gains in her legs and was pushing fifty percent more weight in the presses. Her stomach had flattened out completely and she lost an inch in her waist. She was on an extreme diet and with the supplements she was using the results were incredible.

I found it ironic that I was training one of the people who was a witness to my mother’s death. But it did seem like Chrissy had separated herself from the crew and admitted she had not talked to Mark in over a month. She was very much different than I had portrayed her to be. I assumed she was conceited and considered herself to be better than everyone else. But in all honesty, she was far from that. I also enjoyed working out with her because she pushed herself hard, as I did in my training. We had just started on the bench press station when my phone rang, it was Lexie. This was the first time since we had dinner that she had called. I answered the phone quickly, it had been a while.

“Hey Chris, what are you up to?” she asked.

“I’m at the gym working out.” I replied.

“Oh, sorry. How about you call me when you get home?” she responded.

“Sure, no problem.” I promised.

I put the phone back down on the bench and got in position to spot Chrissy on the bench press. She quickly knocked out her first set and jumped up from the bench.

“Was that Lexie on the phone?” Chrissy asked.

With all the time Chrissy and I had been spending together she knew the entire story of Lexie, including what had happened just recently. She did not make any comments about it other than being in a relationship was not easy. In return she had told me about the relationship she had with Mark going back to high school. So, we were comfortable talking about just about anything.

“Yes, that is the first time she has called since the dinner about a month ago. I told her I would call her back when I get home.” I answered.

“Maybe she is ready to talk.” Chrissy stated.

“I don’t know ... I’m not sure if I want to go back there.” I replied.

“Can’t help you with that big boy ... I’m fucked up myself.” Chrissy giggled.

We finished our workout and went our separate ways. I got home and took a shower then ate turkey sandwiches. I went and got into bed then decided to return Lexie’s call. She answered right away.

“Hey Lexie, what’s up?” I asked.

“Nothing much ... how about you?” she answered.

“Just working and coming home.” I answered.

“Uh huh ... is there maybe something I should know?” she asked.

“Nothing, I can think of ... why?” I replied confused.

“I heard you have a new girlfriend.” Lexie asked, softly.

“If I do, I know nothing about it.” I answered.

“Well, rumor is you’re with her every night.” she stated.

“If you’re talking about Chrissy Haynes, she is a client. I am training her on a regular basis. We have never been together outside the gym. If someone told you otherwise, they are a fucking liar.” I answered.

“No, someone said they saw you two in the gym several times ... That’s it.” she giggled.

“I’ve trained several women in martial arts, but she is the only one that I help with weights.” I admitted.

“That’s fine, I was just messing with you. Look, the reason I called is to say ... uh, well this is hard. But I think for now, I would just rather stay friends. Not that I don’t care for you, but my head is really spinning. I don’t want to jump into anything again.” she stated.

“Jump into anything, I am not anything.” I answered.

“No, no please don’t take it the wrong way. I just need more time. Can you please understand that?’, Lexie asked.

“I guess there is not much of a choice...” I replied.

We talked for a minute or two more and then ended the call. I was sure that Lexie was going to want to get back together but once again, I was wrong. It was almost like she was brushing off our relationship as a fling of some sorts ... that it was never serious. Maybe for her it wasn’t but I was damn sure serious about her. As I laid down in the bed that night, I was sure Lexie and I were over.

Several weeks later, I was working out with Chrissy on a Thursday night when she seemed to be acting a little strange. Several minutes later, I found out why.

“Hey Chris, would like to go out sometime?” Chrissy asked.

“Oh ... I guess. You mean like a date ... date?” I answered.

“Yea, like a date. You don’t find me attractive?” Chrissy asked, with a sad face.

“Of course, I do, you were the hottest girl in school.” I laughed.

“Then take me out.’, she giggled.

“Ok, it’s date.” I said, not wanting to disappoint her.

“Good, what time are you picking me up tomorrow?” she asked.

“Oh ... tomorrow. I don’t know whenever.” I stuttered.

“Seven o’clock, I’ll text you my address.” she promised.

“What about your dad ... after all I know I’m not his favorite person. After what went down in court and all.” I stated.

“Both of my parents already know you are training me. They haven’t said much about it. So, you just be good and everything will be fine.” Chrissy giggled.

We took off the following night since we had an official date at seven o’clock. I worked during the day and sparred with Master Garcia that evening. He landed a great kick to the side of my face which caused my cheek to bruise immediately. I left the gym and went home and cleaned up getting dressed to go with Chrissy. I put on a pair of jeans and brown slip-on shoes with a tight knit short sleeve shirt. I left my house a few minutes before seven and arrived at Chrissy fifteen minutes later. As I was walking up the entrance to the home, I knew this was going to be awkward. I took a deep breath and rang the bell. Several seconds later an older woman with gray hair answered the door.

“There is no doubt who you are. Please come in Chris.” she asked, stepping aside.

“I’m Maggie Haynes, it’s very nice to meet you.” she said, asking me to follow her.

I walked down a long entry hall and stepped into a huge family room with a massive tv on the right wall. Mr. Haynes was sitting with his back to me watching a golf match. I followed Chrissy’s mom around the sofa and faced Mr. Haynes.

“Bill, I believe you have met this young man.” she sternly told her husband.

“Chris, very nice to meet you under different circumstances.” he said, extending his hand.

“Yes sir, it is. I want to apologize for my words in the courtroom, I was angry at what happened. It had been going on for a long time and I was just tired of it.” I said.

“Son, it was your mother. No apologies needed. Had I known what I know today about that group I never would have taken the case.” he admitted.

“Chris, I want to thank you for getting Chrissy away from those jerks she has been with for all of these years. I can sleep a whole lot better at night knowing she’s here in her room.” Maggie said.

“Well thank you, but Chrissy decided on her own to get away. I just agreed to train her.” I replied.

Just about that time, Chrissy came down the stairs and into the large room. She was wearing a tight pair of black pants with a white lace top. She had on black heels with full makeup and her hair pulled back in a ponytail. I had never seen Chrissy dressed or look like this before, she was stunning.

“Who is talking about me?” Chrissy giggled.

“Put a sock in it, brat. Come kiss your father goodbye.” Bill Haynes scowled.

Chrissy walked around the sofa and bent over hugging her father and kissing him. Then she hugged her mother and kissed her as well. Maggie walked us to the door and opened it for us.

“For once, I’m not worried about you going out on a date.” she stated, softly rubbing her daughter’s back.

I opened the passenger door for Chrissy which seemed to surprise her. She slid into the seat easily and reached for her seat belt. I walked around the car noticing that her mother was looking out of the window. I got in the driver’s seat and started up the car. We pulled away slowly as I now began to think how strange this really was.

We decided to go eat first and she chose a seafood restaurant that was very nice. I had eaten there several times before and it was always very good. We walked in together and the hostess found us a table near the left wall. I couldn’t help but notice all the guys staring at Chrissy as she walked by their table.

We sat down and ordered drinks then started to check out the menu. We had only been there for several minutes when I saw Chrissy look nervously towards the door.

“Shit, what are the odds.” she sighed.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Haley Mills just walked in with some guy.” she said softly.

“Forget it ... you’re done with those guys.” I reminded her.

“Yes, I am. Thanks for the reminder.” she giggled.

We had already received our drinks and placed our order for two seafood platters before Haley Mills arrived at our table. I guess she just couldn’t help herself.

“Hey Chrissy, what are you doing here?” she asked, looking directly at me.

“I’m on a date with Chris.” she replied.

“Oh really?” she asked.

Yes, really. Chris and I have been training together for months but this is our first date.” Chrissy affirmed.

“So, you and Mark are really through?” Haley asked.

“I haven’t seen or spoken to Mark in over a month, as far as I am concerned Mark doesn’t exist anymore.” Chrissy stated.

“Oh ok ... Uh well, see you later.” Haley replied, walking back to her table.

“Nothing like putting it out there on the first date.” Chrissy laughed.

“Fuck’em...” I replied, which caused Chrissy to laugh hysterically.

We had a nice dinner and took our time enjoying the meal. We talked about everything and anything we could speak of. I had to bring up the story about the time Cassie and I picked up Chrissy at the restaurant. How she wanted to fuck us and was playing with herself. Chrissy was shocked but did admit she drank way too much in her younger years.

We left after about ninety minutes and decided to drive downtown to a nice coffee house. We ordered two large coffee’s and took a table in a secluded corner. We talked for another hour or so before we decided to leave. The night had gone well, and it was a little after ten o’clock. We got back into the car, and I started to buckle my seat belt when Chrissy leaned over and pressed her lips to mine. She parted her lips slightly and softly pushed the tip of her tongue between my lips. Just about at the same time her right hand softly touched my upper thigh causing my cock to come to life. I gently followed her lead and softly rested my left hand on the outside of her right thigh. When she felt my fingers on her thigh she exhaled softly into my mouth.

She pulled her lips from mine and opened her eyes staring deep into mine. She slowly moved her hand up my thigh until she was softly touching my cock. She began to move her fingers up and down the crotch of my pants. She leaned in once again and kissed me only this time with a lot more passion. I moved my hand from the outside of her thigh to inside. Slowly I moved up her thigh until my hand was against her crotch. I softly moved my hand against her using my fingers to stroke the entire area. She pulled away from me and laid her head on my shoulder.

“God, that feels so good...” she moaned.

I continued to rub her pussy through her pants as she held on to me tightly. She began to push against my hand enjoying the sensation between her legs.

“Chris, can we go back to your place?’, she asked in a low whisper.

“Are you sure, Chrissy?” I asked.

“Yes, I’m very sure.” she replied.

She sat back in her seat, and I started the car and pulled out of the lot. It was a short drive to my house, but it was an uncomfortable one. We were a few blocks away when I finally spoke up.

“Chrissy, we don’t have to do this. I don’t want you to think that this is what I am after.” I said, touching her hand.

“No Chris, I don’t think that. It’s just ... uh, are you seeing anyone right now or even remotely involved? I don’t want to possibly start a relationship before knowing everything I should know.” she replied, squeezing my hand.

“Tell you what. Let’s go back to my house and just talk.” I advised.

“Sounds good.” she answered, smiling.

We arrived at my place, and she followed me into the side door. We went to the kitchen where I poured two glasses of iced tea. We then went to the sofa and sat down, side by side.

“Ok, let me go first.” Chrissy stated.

“Ok, go first.” I laughed.

“Mark and I have dated since the eighth grade on and off. The summer between my sophomore and junior year was the first time I slept with him. It lasted maybe three minutes, tops. Not very memorable to say the least. My mom sensed it right away and after a few months put me on birth control. I’m not sure if my father knew but he never said anything.” she started.

“My parents did not care much for Mark, and he hated them. I did some stupid things when I was out with Mark, but I was as much to blame as he was. I drank way too much back then partly to escape it, I think. Mark is the only guy I ever slept with, so my sex life is less than stellar. Mark only cares about Mark, if you know what I mean.” she continued.

“Most times after he would cum it was over and he would bring me home. I would then have to get myself off in my bed after. As I grew older, Mark’s stupid bullshit just got old. They basically ran the school until you came along. You were the only one who ever stood up to them. So, here I am sitting on your sofa with you. Your turn.” she ended, giggling.

“Ok, wow ... let’s see. I dated a girl who lives next door for a while. I really liked her a lot, her name was Cassie. We did sleep together several times during our relationship. She went back to college and met a guy who she is still with, I think.” I stated.

“Then after the fight in Moe’s I started seeing a cop, Lexie Thomas.” I started.

“Lexie Thomas, holy shit ... she is dating my cousin.” Lexie stated, shocked.
