I wake up with the worst cramps I've ever had. I feel like all I want to do is die. I get out of bed and take something for the pain. Walking slowing to the bathroom I start getting ready for work. Nice long, hot shower. It may work for the pain. I turn the water on and let it warm up. I then undress and step under the water. I wash up and relax.

I climb out of the tub and dry off. Getting dressed I look in the mirror and I look pail. Man I hate being like this. I hope no ones thinks I'm that sick.

I'm all ready for work so I get in my car and drive. I stop at the coffee house and get two cups of coffee and two donuts. Paying I then grab what I just bought and head to work.

Arriving there I park my car and head to the office. I walk through the door and I see John sitting there.

"Morning." I say and walk over and hand him the coffee and donut.

"Morning." He says to me.

I sit down at my desk and start up my computer. As I wait I eat my donut. I pull out the folders and start up the reports on them.

A few hours later my cramps come back and I lean forward to try and put some pressure on them to help.

Man I wish they'd go away and stay away. I reach over and take some more pills. I need a drink so I slowly get up and head out of the office and to the bathroom with a cup in my hand. Filling it with water I then take the pills and head back to the office.

John's looking at me when I walk in. "You ok Mon?"he asks me.

"Nothing some pills wont help." I say and sit down but still somewhat leaned over. "I'm ok John."

"You don't look ok." He gets up and walks over to me and knells down in front of me.

"Gee thanks." I joke with him

"No, really, Monica, what's wrong?" He asks me yet again.

"Cramps. Unless you can take them away from me then your no good to help me."

"I may know something that'd help."

I look at him. "I already took aspirin John."

"Yeah I know I was talking about something else."

"What?"

"Ever have your belly rubbed when you have cramps?"

I look at him. "No, my stomach hurts to much for it to be touched."

"Mon, just try it, ok?" He pushes me back so I'm straight in the chair. He then reaches out his hands and puts them on my belly and rubs it.

I look at him and then at his hands. It hurts but yet it feels like it's working. I close my eyes some and relax. I try not to moan because of this. "John, you don't have to do this ya know." I tell him. I can still feel his hands working on my stomach.

"I know but I want to." I hear him say. He's on his knees now in front of me. He moves his hands back and forth and up and down.

Why can't I find a man that treats me like this?" How do you know what to do?" I ask.

"I used to do this for Barbara." He whispers to me. Probably in hopes that I wont hear him.

"Oh... well it's working." I tell him. I've never had a man this close to me.

"Feeling better Mon?"

"Yeah... thanks alot John."

He smiles and looks at me. "You're welcome ... and if you need another helping hand later you know my number!" he smiles and jokes with me.

My cramps have went away with him doing that and I still can't believe it worked.

I'm sitting at home relaxing and reading a book when I feel more cramps. Man, the first few days suck. I look over at the phone and debate on calling John over for more help. I shurg my shoulders and pick up the phone and call him.

"Hi." He says answering it.

"John." Is all I say I don't know what or how to ask.

"Monica, I'll be right there." I smile at that and hang up the phone.

A few minutes later there's a knock at the door and then I hear a key enter the lock. Soon he's walking in and shutting the door. I'm covered up on the couch and looking at him. He comes over to me and picks me up. "John."

"Bed room. You'll be more relaxed." He says and heads for my bedroom. I'm not sure if I should be happy he knows' where it is or not. He lays me on the bed on my side and climbs into bed behind me. I glance at him.

"don't worry I wont bite." he jokes and rests his hand on my stomach and starts to message it again. "Lean back."

He pulls me back towards him so I'm leaning on him. His hands work long and hard, enough to ease the cramps.

"I should have you over more often." I tell him.

"Alright." He laughs and keeps working. I soon fall asleep cramp free and in the arms of the man I love.

The End
