Ranger handed the pizza box and the beer over to Stephanie to hold as he got out his credit card to pay for their food. He wasn't going to let them sit there and eat and be out in the open so he was going back to RangeMan so they would be safe and alone. As he turned around Stephanie had sat the stuff on the table and was bent over with her hands on the table in front of her.
"Steph you ok? He asked
"yea, I'm ok I just couldn't hold the beer and pizza it was really starting to bother my back" she told him
Ranger picked up the drink and food and guided Stephanie out to his black truck. He slid into the truck without any problems. Stephanie on the other hand had to try several times to jump up into the passenger's side of the truck.
"Babe you have lost a lot of you back strength from laying all them weeks and the wound too" He told her
"This sucks, I cant hold a pizza and get into the truck" she said
"I wasn't thinking or I would have the BMW or Porsche taken out instead of the truck" he told her
"Its ok, I was hurting till now she explained
"We gotta get your strength in your back built back up, your body and muscles are weak" Ranger told her smirking
"Gee suck a way to turn on a woman by telling her her body is weak" Steph huffed
"You know I love you" he told her pulling in the underground parking lot at RangeMan.
Stephanie and Ranger ate and drank a couple of beers. Stephanie squirmed in her seat and was so uncomfortable. Ranger placed his hand on the small of her back and gently but firmly rubbed her as she was knelt over her knees. He heard her let out a content sigh and knew he had made her feel better.
"How do you do it?" she asked
"what?" he asked her looking confused
"everything, you're like magic" she said looking at him
"its a gift" he smiled a little
The next morning Ranger threw a set of workout clothes onto Stephanie as she slept. She opened her eyes and looked at him.
"A wake up kiss would have been better" she told him thru slanted eyes
"Get up we are going to my gym" he told her going to change himself
When Ranger came out he was dressed in black sweats and cross trainers he looked over and saw Steph hadn't moved.
"Babe" he said
"Leave me alone I'm dead" she told him
Ranger went over and ripped the covers off her and began to take her feet into his hands to pull her out of bed.
"You wouldn't dare" she said
"As me that again" he said
"OK OK IM UP JEEZE"She said slowing getting up grunting in pain
"10 minutes" Ranger said as he left the room
"what no changing supervision" she asked
"well since you asked" he said walking back in
"NO, get out I'm coming" she said pushing him back out the door
