Chapter 7: Dudleys Return

Monday evening Lewis arrived at the shop early. He helped Mike for the last half hour. At five minutes to five, Dudley came in, saw they were busy and waved as he went through to the back room.

When the shop was shut, Mike and Lewis went through to find three coffees waiting. Mike hadn’t seen Dudley for a month, so he went straight to him and gave him a hug and a kiss. ‘I didn’t know whether to hug you or salute you,’ Mike said, ‘I’m not used to meeting heroes.’

Dudley blushed. ‘I love your hugs.’ he told him giving him another one. ‘And yours too, of course.’ he said going over to Lewis and doing the same.

They sat at the table with their coffees. Dudley asked Mike how the pregnancy was going. Mike asked how it had felt when he discovered the final amount he had raised.

Mike told him all was going well, then Dudley said he had been absolutely gobsmacked. ‘I couldn’t stop crying,’ he said, ‘I was so overwhelmed.’ ‘I can appreciate how moving it must have been,’ Mike said, ‘It’s something you’ll always remember with pride.’

‘I’ll always remember who is really responsible,’ Dudley said looking at Lewis. ‘I’ll always be grateful for the support you gave me too,’ he said to Mike.

Mike finished his coffee and said, ‘Right, I’m off home. Lovely to see you, Dudley.’ They had another hug and Lewis saw him out.

Returning Lewis went and sat at the end of the settee. ‘Come and lie down,’ he told him, ‘Then I’ll tell you what I have in mind for our monthly check-ups.’

‘On your past visits you’ve had increasing targets to keep,’ Lewis told him once he was settled. ‘You kept them all exceptionally well and succeeded in what you were aiming for. In doing so, you have developed your body and your mind along the way. You have in fact grown up a lot. You’ve learned to control your eating and to take exercise. You’ve learned how to save and not waste your money.’

‘When you strip off later, I will weigh you. I expect to see you have remained at or near your target weight. If you control your weight to as near to it as you can, your remaining fat will eventually burn away.’

‘You achieved sixty-four of each of the three exercises I set you. For someone who struggled to do four at the start, that’s amazing. Today and on future visits all I want you to do is prove to me you can still do fifty of each.’

‘Your finances are now entirely in your hands. I don’t need to know anything about them unless you have a problem you want to discuss.’

‘Likewise, your dreams are your own. I no longer expect you to tell me what they were. Having said that, I will always be interested in hearing any you want to share.’

‘When we’ve done all that, each time you will choose what we do to finish off.’

‘So, if you’re ready to start, strip off and let’s weigh you.’ Lewis got the scales out as Dudley stripped off. As he stood there naked, Lewis looked him up and down. ‘You’re looking better each time I see you.’ he said.

‘Do your sit ups first,’ Lewis told him. Dudley lay on the floor and Lewis knelt down and held his feet. Dudley did his fifty with no problem. ‘Excellent,’ Lewis told him.

Next, Dudley stepped on the scales and waited anxiously. ‘Eleven stone,’ Lewis said, Then after a pause, ‘Five and a half pounds. Another excellent and well done.’

‘Press ups next.’ Dudley dropped to the floor and did fifty without any change in speed. ‘That swimming has certainly given you powerful shoulders.’ Lewis said as he watched him stand up.

Lewis sat back on the settee. ‘Come and tell me how things are between you and Alison before you do your feet ups.’ he said. Dudley settled down in his favourite position. Lewis put one hand on his head and one between his legs. With being apart for a month, Dudley’s cock shot to rock hard almost instantly. ‘It’s missed you.’ Dudley said with a grin.

‘Things are great,’ Dudley said. ‘We manage to make love at least once a week, usually more. Alison’s mum went with her to the Doctors, and he said she was ok to go on the pill, so it’s even easier now.’

‘I’ve got a job at the swimming pool two evenings a week, teaching adults to swim. I’m saving up so Alison and I can have a holiday together. Not just for the pleasure of spending the whole night together. We hope it will break mum and dad into the idea that we are sleeping together.’

‘Oh, and another thing, you remember I told you Alison and I made love in my bed when mum and dad were at a dinner dance?’ Lewis nodded. ‘Well, my dad being slim always looks smart in his dinner suit and I’d always thought I’d never have one. After the final figure was announced mum and dad thought it was wonderful and asked me what I’d like as a present. I asked for a dinner suit.’

He got up and went over to his clothes. After rooting in his pocket, he returned and showed Lewis a photo. ‘Wow,’ Lewis said, ‘You do look smart.’ Dudley was wearing his new dinner suit with a bow tie. Alison was on his arm in a lovely evening dress. ‘After I’d got it, mum and dad took us along to one of their dinner dances.’
