Sunday, Fitness Center, Morning
Another day, another morning spent at the gym. It wasn't easy forcing himself out of bed this morning, especially considering that he had only spoken with Nikki a few hours beforehand. So with a jaded huff, Michael forced himself to meet Haric at the usual place for their morning workout.
Other than the typical burning in his chest as a result of the bench-press, Michael was gazing upward with an almost glazed look in his eyes as he re-racked the weight.
"Okay dude, sit up for me." Haric was quick to notice the sluggishness in his friend's movements. Pushing Michael up so that he was seated upright, Haric walked around and looked into his friend's confused expression with a scrutinizing glare.
"What is it..? There something on my face..?" Michael asked as Haric kept analyzing his features. Haric had known Michael long enough to know that something was wrong with him, and it didn't take him long to figure out what that problem was.
Instead of an immediate answer, Haric instead responded with a sigh. After all of these years it hasn't surprised him one bit that Michael could go on doing this, especially with waking up so early to take on the day. "Mikey...Bro...you need to start going to bed earlier." His voice was softer than normal than the typical sarcasm that's expertly stitched into his words; this was a more straightforward tone.
Michael knew he's been had and shook his head. "I know...I've just been busy the past few days." He replied as he stretched his arms above his head. "And you know how I get-OOOOH..! COLD..!" His reasoning was cut short as Haric pressed his water bottle against his friend's neck, making him yelp out at the sudden brisk container pushing against his flesh. The action was a blessing in disguise for Michael as he felt the tiredness in his face slip away.
"Sure beats any cup of coffee, right?" Haric chuckled as he watched his friend poke the cold spot on his neck.
"Yeah; way better." Michael thanked him with a nod as he laid back down onto the bench and took hold of the bar. He however wasn't expecting Haric to firmly grip the center of the bar and keep it racked. "What's up..?" He asked.
"Since you've gotten into the habit of talking to chicks into the night, we're going to keep things easy today." Haric instructed jokingly, a smile returning to his face.
"Gee, thanks buddy." Michael sarcastically cheered. "I appreciate that you're acknowledging my accomplishments." He added. Haric chuckled as he then began helping Michael lift up the bar to begin the exercise. As Michael continued lifting the bar, a familiar and cheerful voice called to the men from across the gym. Upon re-racking the weight and sitting up, Michael was greeted by a wave from Kyanna as she approached the two in her typical blue tank top and shorts.
"Morning you two! Glad to see you both already hard at work!" She was more filled with energy than the last time Michael saw her in the gym.
"Morning, Kyanna..!" Michael waved as he laid back down in preparation for the next set of presses. Before Haric lifted the bar for Michael, the woman in question stopped the tattooed man with a light tap to his shoulder.
"Don't go too hard on him today, okay?" She asked him. Haric arched an eyebrow to the woman; usually she'd want him to push Michael to his limits.
"How come?" He was going to be lighter on Michael in terms of the training today, but he was still curious why the fitness-fanatic Kyanna would ask him to not go too hard on him. "You two have a date or something?" He pointed a thumb to his friend.
"If you wanna call it that..!" Michael forced out as he continued exercising, only to be quickly silenced by his friend.
"Don't talk; focus on lifting." Haric quickly reprimanded the man before turning his attention back to Kyanna for confirmation. "That true? This man's taking you out?" Haric asked.
Kyanna nodded, excited for what the day had planned. "Yep! We're going to the water park this afternoon!" She explained. She saw that smile stay on Haric's face as he looked back at his friend.
"Nice..!" He nodded his head. "You sure he's taking you out and not the other way around?" He joked.
"Screw you..!" Michael wheezed out as he re-racked the weight once again. Haric ran a hand through the man's golden locks as Kyanna responded.
"He asked me, don't worry." She told him, making Haric's smile even brighter. The man that he had known for years is already taking his second woman out on a date! He'll be in the same league as him in no time!
Their conversation would be short-lived as they each had to return to their own exercising regiments before the rest of the day could begin.
"See you later Michael!" Kyanna waved to Michael before turning and hurrying off to continue her own workout.
"Bye..!" Michael waved back. As she walked away, the English man couldn't help but take some glances at Kyanna's well-trained body; each curve of her's was forged by hard work and dedication and it really showed. She wasn't purely muscle either; the bounce in her step revealed the still soft and jiggly consistency one could equate to one's ass.
"Enjoying the show, bud?" Haric asked, putting his cold water bottle right on Michael's neck once again.
"AIII!" He stiffened up and moved his hands to cover his neck, looking back at his friend with a look of irritation. Haric didn't care for how Michael glared at him, he knew he was messing around.
"Come on, let's get to work. You can fantasize about her later." Haric said as he lightly smacked the bar, making his friend grasp the iron rod once again.
Sunday, Locker Room, Morning
Michael was drying himself off after a job well done in the iron temple. Haric was slipping on his pants, giving his friend cheeky grins that caused him to arch an eyebrow at the man's staring.
"Please tell me you aren't looking at my ass." Michael sighed as he pulled the towel off his head, gazing through a damp golden curtain towards the man.
"Nope, although now that you mention it…" Haric leaned back to get a look at his friend's behind. "I have been doing some amazing work back there, haven't I?" He commented.
"God damnit-why does everyone have a fixation on my ass?" Michael whined as he pulled up a pair of cerulean swimming trunks as a preparation for the water park.
"Because it's a nice ass? Why else would anyone be looking back there?" Pulling on a black and white shirt, Michael could tell just by his choice in attire what Haric was going to be doing for the day.
"Got a shoot?" Michael asked, wanting to move the situation from his ass to something more topical as he pulled on his own t-shirt. The shirt Haric donned represented his career in modeling and his body was a result of the dedication he had to his employers as well as his coworkers.
"Yep! How could you tell?" Haric pulled his hair out from the inside of his shirt, allowing his locks to cascade down to his waist.
"You always wear your brand's shirts when you have a shoot." Michael pointed to the cloth.
"Well...you aren't wrong. But these shirts are comfortable too! You should get one." Haric urged while running his hands up and down the front of the shirt, reveling in the soft fabric.
"Ugh the only way I'll get a shirt from you guys is if you hand one to me. There's now way I'm spending that much for some shirts." Michael shook his head. It was a well known brand, so of course their clothes were going to be expensive.
"Psh, only if you do some shooting for us." Haric countered.
"Mmmmh...I dunno. Your boss is always so...explosive from what I hear." Michael sounded cautionary; the rumors he had heard from Haric made him a bit wary of entering their studio.
"Oh please. He'd love you! He loves-" Haric stopped and looked at his phone that was suddenly going insane with notifications. "Haaaah...and speak of the devil." Haric sighed as he looked up from his phone. "Boss is gonna start getting on me if I'm late; I'll catch you later Mikey!" Haric waved as he hurried out of the locker room.
Michael waved back as Haric walked out of the room. Once he was gone he fished out his phone with the intention of checking on his current funds now that money was mentioned with the shirts. As he inputted his information, Michael wasn't ready for the sudden influx of money that he had suddenly accrued.
"What the..? How did I even..?" His confusion was further increased when he looked up how he had gotten such a large amount of money. The one sending him this money was from somewhere that he had only heard of once before; Huniecorp.
"This...is weird." And as he finished his statement Kyu popped in just in time for Michael to ask his question. "Hey, Kyu?" He called to the fairy, looking back to see the fairy floating over to him.
"What's good homie?" She addressed him as if she's known him for years, which could be any further from the truth. Now at his side, she looked down at his screen and saw the increased money that Michael had received. "Oooooh you're wracking up some cash man; good for you!" She lightly punched his shoulder.
"So you know where I suddenly got all of this..? Because I don't." Michael was still confused, and Kyu's jovial reaction to seeing his screen didn't help his case. That was when Kyu suddenly snapped her fingers, remembering a detail that she had forgotten to explain.
"Oh right! I didn't tell you about munie, did I?" Kyu asked.
"Clearly since I don't remember selling myself to get this kind of money." Michael replied, staring down at the large number that was now under his ownership.
"Okay then I'll explain it to you as simply as I can; Munie is what you get when you complete a date! Once you've finished a date, Huniecorp will send you some cash as a payment. Pretty cool huh?" Kyu's explanation left Michael more confused than before, but he could guess that the love-fairies answer to his question would be immediately countered with 'Fairy magic' being the answer.
"So...I'm practically getting paid to date women?" He repeated.
"Or men if you know, if that's your thing." Kyu shrugged. "Regardless of which way you like to swing that baseball bat of yours, you're gonna be living like a king the more times you take a girl out." Kyu further explained.
This revelation was a bit of an eye opener for Michael; he could make money doing something like dating, and with as much money as he had made already he could make this his primary source of income! "Well...I'll keep the money-thing in mind then...But I don't want to just up and drop what I've been doing for the past years." Michael told her.
"Well we aren't forcing you to just drop your job and start dating chicks, although that's what most of my clients have been doing." She mumbled the last half of her statement but kept it loud enough for it to be slightly audible to Michael.
"Good." Michael nodded his head as he fished up his bag from his locker and slung it over his shoulder.
"So you're gonna hit the water park now?" Kyu assumed by the cerulean shorts that hung on Michael's legs.
"Yep. I'm gonna meet Kyanna in the parking lot and we'll head there." Michael explained to Kyu as he marched out of the locker room. Once out of the locker room he could see Kyanna standing outside through the glass in the front doors with a grin on her face as she spotted the man through the glass. She was still wearing her workout clothes but he could see some traces of a swimsuit underneath. Pushing the doors open, Michael was greeted by the fitness nut as soon as he stepped out.
"Sup! Haric didn't go too hard on you did he?" She jokingly asked as he approached her.
"Nope; He'll have to do alot more to wear me out." He jokingly lifted an arm, flexing it. He hoped Haric didn't hear him say that unless he wanted the man to utterly demolish him the next time he saw him.
"I'm sure he'd be happy to hear that." Kyanna giggled as they started walking.
They continued to talk and joke with one another as they kept walking. The water park was only a twenty-minute walk from the gym, so it wouldn't take long for the couple to reach the watery paradise.
Sunday, Water Park, Afternoon
Not to anybody's surprise, the water park was bustling with people of all ages as they fulfilled their plans of beating the Sun's burning rays. Michael and Kyanna's plan wasn't to beat the heat, but the water was definitely going to help in that aspect.
Stepping out of the men's locker room, Michael had shed his shirt and was waiting outside of the women's locker room. Now shirtless, the afternoon heat permeated through his flesh and helped him relax as he thought about what the day had in store for him.
Before he could delve too deep into his mind, Kyanna stepped around the corner of the locker room with her bright smile decorating her swimsuit that was hidden under her workout clothes was finally in full view; a blue bikini with white polka-dots adorning the fabric clung to her tan skin.
Michael noticed the color was similar to the shorts that he was wearing and smiled at the coincidence. "Look at that, we're matching!" He said as she stepped away from the locker room, looking at her attire and then to Michael's once more.
"Nice..! That wasn't even intended." She chuckled. Looking over towards where all the slides and various other attractions were, she noticed that some of the attractions were starting to gain more attention the longer they stood around.
"Alright, let's get going!" Kyanna grabbed his hand. "I don't wanna get stuck in the lines all day." Being pulled along, Michael and his date hurried along to one of the many slides that occupied the park.
The first slide was a simple body slide; the stairs leading up to the entrance of the slide had a small line already formed. Stepping into the line, Kyanna looked at Michael whilst he was looking up the stairs to see how far they needed to go. Turning his eyes for a moment, he caught Kyanna's eyes with his and quickly grinned.
"See something?" Michael asked, crossing his arms as Kyanna shook her head.
"Nah, this is the first time I've seen you without a shirt." Her comment would encourage Michael to uncross his arms, exposing his torso to the woman.
"Surprised?" He pressed, putting his hands on his hips as they moved up the steps with the cheers of other park-goers echoing from the slide above them.
Kyanna nodded her head as she placed her own hands on her hips. "Yeah..! Haric showed me a picture of you when you were younger and now look at you..! You were so skinny..!" She didn't hide the fact that she was enjoying the sight of how far Michael had come. She was making this sound like he had just gotten a gold medal at the Olympics. He couldn't help but grow a bit flustered as Kyanna complimented him on his progress.
"Aww, you're too kind. But look at you, Kyanna..! You look great with and without exercising clothes..!" He motioned up and down the woman's frame.
Kyanna held a hand to her mouth as she giggled at Michael's animated gestures. "Thanks..! The gym's been pretty good for the past while..!" She responded, followed by her jokingly flexing her body.
Michael raised his eyebrows as he turned to look away. "I'm sure I'm not the only one that agrees with thaaaat…" He sang. The way that he spoke made Kyanna arch an eyebrow as they stepped up closer towards the slide.
"Be honest with me now man, have you taken any sneak-peaks at me while I was working out?" She asked.
Michael blinked at Kyanna's question before looking away. "Man this sky sure is blue, huh?" He asked, ignoring the question.
Kyanna giggled and crossed her arms under her generous bust as they walked up the stairs, their turn almost up. "You have haven't you?" All she got for an answer was some out of tune whistling as Michael slowly locked his eyes with her. He did peak.
Satisfied with her assumption, she nudged his shoulder with a fist before they were called up.
"Oh! It's our turn!" Kyanna hurried up the rest of the way so that she was standing at the entrance to the slide as water jetted out to keep the slide wet.
"Ladies first." Michael allowed Kyanna to go ahead of him. Not because he was afraid of heights if his date at the carnival said anything, but so he could take another little peak at her frame as she climbed the stairs ahead of him.
Turning back to check if Michael was still following her, Kyanna spotted the man quickly turning his eyes away. Smiling to herself, she added a little hop in her step as she made her way up to the top. Taking her seat at the entrance to the slide, the ride-operator looked to Kyanna and gave her a thumbs up, to which the woman pulled herself forward and went down the soaking tube.
"WOOOOHOOO!" She could be heard hollering amongst a menagerie of giggles as Michael saw her silhouette whiz down the slide. Upon hearing her splash into the pool at the bottom, the ride-operator waved Michael over so that he can go through that same experience.
Sitting in front of the constant jet of water, the ride-operator waited a moment before looking at Michael and sticking a thumbs up with a smile that revealed a mild enjoyment for this job. Acknowledging the man's signal, Michael pulled himself forward and laid back as he felt the flow of water carry him through the tube.
As Kyanna waited at the bottom for Michael, she couldn't help but hear the high-pitched squeal that the man emitted as he was pushed by the water. The mixture of luke-warm to slightly cold water surely jolted him awake as he shot out from the slide, gliding forward through the water for a moment before getting himself to wade through the water to the edge.
"How'd that feel? Great right?" Kyanna asked as Michael brushed his soaking wet locks of gold from his face.
"I can tell you that I'm more awake than before, that's for sure." Michael said as they immediately began their walk towards another one of the slides.
Towering on one side of the park was a slide that had multiple lanes each relegated to a specific color of the rainbow. Park goers were racing down the wet slide whilst perched on foam mats. Upon seeing it, Michael and Kyanna looked at each other with a grin. They knew what they were going to do.
"Think you can beat me?" Michael asked as they walked towards the slide.
Kyanna playfully scoffed at his question, "I'm so gonna win this. I'm smaller than you so I have less wind resistance." She proudly crossed her arms, unintentionally emphasizing the size of her chest to the man.
Michael blinked for a moment and let out a sound of hesitance. "Ehhhh I dunno...Some parts of you might get caught in the wind." He joked.
Kyanna looked down at her two ladies and smirked. "What, you think these girls are gonna get in the way? If anything they'll add more weight to the front." Her words would make Michael chuckle at her inability to get flustered when her chest was mentioned.
"Can't argue with that logic." He shrugged as they reached the top of the slide. Being handed a foam pad to kneel on, Michael and Kyanna took their spots in lanes right next to each other. The pair looked at each other with a competitive fire in their eyes as they waited for everybody else to get ready at the starting line.
"See you at the bottom." Kyanna said as she held out a hand to shake.
"May the best man or woman win." Michael gladly took her hand and shook it. Right as they released each other's hands the ride-operator shouted for them to go.
Pushing themselves down the hill, the wind immediately began to race through the couple's hair like banners in the air. Looking towards Kyanna, he saw that she was ahead of him and he did what anyone else in that situation would do; hunker down and lean forward slightly. Shifting his weight did the trick as he was starting to gain on her and eventually pass her with a wave of his hand. Kyanna hunkered down just like he did, laughing at the fun they were having.
As they reached the bottom, Kyanna had a front row seat to what was going to happen to Michael. At the bottom was a pool that was used to stop the racers, but since Michael was going as fast as he was, Kyanna saw Michael surf over the water until he was almost at the edge until he fell into the water. Laughing, she fell into the water herself and climbed out alongside Michael.
"You saw that right?" Michael laughed as they put the foam mats into a container.
"How couldn't I? You were flying over that water!" Kyanna laughed.
The exhilaration of both of those rides from back to back took a little bit out of both of them, so they elected to take a small break at the lazy river. After grabbing some pool tubes, the pair would head to the starting point of the river and hop into the current, taking some time to relax under the Sun.
Michael looked over to Kyanna who was relishing the warm light as her hands floated along the surface of the water. "Pretty fun time, huh?" Michael would speak, ushering Kyanna to hum out in agreement.
"Yep. It's been a bit since I've had this much fun here." She said as she locked her eyes with Michael. "Think we'll be able to go out again some time?" She asked.
"Of course..! Weird that I'm admitting this, but after today it won't feel as fun coming here without hearing you laughing." He saw a faint blush rise out of Kyanna's cheeks as she smiled. She would suddenly send a small splash of water into his near-dry chest, making him yelp defenselessly as the cool water soaked him.
"And after all the heartfelt things I just said to you..!" He jokingly whined as the coolness of the water slowly disappeared.
"You only said one thing..!" Kyanna giggled at Michael's reaction, but what he said really got her thinking a bit about their friendship and where it might go in the future. "So, I've got a question for you." She started.
Michael splashed himself with water to try and get himself used to the temperature in case Kyanna decided to splash him once again. "What's up?" He replied.
"What're you looking for in a relationship?" She asked.
Michael blew some air between his lips as he splashed some water. That question surely came out of nowhere, but he already knew the answer to it. It felt weird to be aware of that answer, but it's either she was going to ask the question, or he was going to have to; sooner rather than later.
"I just want to keep things casual with people right now," he started. "With that being said, when we are hanging out you're damn sure I'm going to be giving you all my attention." Michael pointed at her as he finished that sentence.
"Oh? And casual how exactly?" Kyanna pressed with a carefree grin on her face.
"You know...casual. Hangout every once in a while...casual…" Michael began thinking of what else to add onto that before she abruptly added something.
"Sex?" She immediately giggled as the words came out of her mouth. Michael nearly fell out of his tube when Kyanna spoke, looking at the giggling woman with an arched eyebrow.
"I mean...if you want." Michael shrugged. "I'll take that instead of going out."
"Really? You seem like the kind of guy that's good with his money." Kyanna tilted her head.
"No..! I'm fine with my money. But if you put doing that or going out beside each other and told me to choose, I'd stay home. After that we can cuddle." Michael smiled as he reminisced on the night and morning with Aiko.
"Ohhhh...yeah I think I agree with you. Doing that tires you out anyway so it can help burn calories." Kyanna added in.
"If you're confident to go that long then sure." Michael said as he kicked his feet in the water, pushing himself back a bit so he was beside her. Their conversation about nightly activities slowly faded, in which Kyanna reset everything with another question.
"Here's another question for you Michael. What advice would you give to someone who asked?" She asked.
"Huh...that one's different from what we were talking about before." Michael commented, Kyanna nodding in agreement. "Buuuut if someone made the mistake of asking me for advice I'd say...don't be afraid to take risks, and be confident in what you do."
"Ohhh..! That's pretty sound advice..!" Kyanna said. She was expecting him to say something jokingly, but that response was easily welcomed.
Michael grinned at the admiration he was getting once he spoke his piece. "That's just how it is. What's life without risks?" He asked.
"Pretty boring if you ask me." She said as she pushed herself around in a slow circle.
"And what about, Kyanna?" Michael spoke back with curiosity. "What would your advice be if you were asked?"
Kyanna rested her arms on her belly as she looked up at the clouds that meandered over the park. "If you have your eyes set on something don't stop until you've reached it." Her advice was rather straightforward, literally.
"That's some decent advice." Michael stated with some splashes to fill the empty air.
"Yep! I've been following that all of my life!" Kyanna said proudly with a small puff of her chest.
"Psssh, you make it sound so easy to keep doing that." He grunted as their tubes bounced against each other from the current.
"But it is..! I mean, your advice is to take risks and be confident; I think you managing to get some girls numbers and even going out with some of them is a risk..!" She turned her head to see Michael with his head leaned back, blond hair branching out into the water.
"I guess...I think I just lose track of what advice I want to follow." Michael responded.
"It's easy to get distracted, believe me. But you've been following your advice without even realizing it." Her responses were always so spot on; it was like she was an archer constantly hitting bullseyes when the two spoke.
"I suppose that's the case." Michael leaned his head back up as they were reaching the beginning of the lazy river.
"C'mon! Let's go on one more slide!" Kyanna said as she hopped off her tube and climbed out of the river. Michael quickly followed, not wanting to be carried by the current.
"Right behind you..!" He heaved himself up and out of the water, following Kyanna to return their tubes. Back on the search for their final attraction for the day, the two were having a bit of difficulty figuring out what slide they should take.
"How about that one?" Kyanna pointed to one of the largest slides in the park, and miraculously there wasn't that big of a line!
Michael wasn't one to say no to a slide as big as this one since it could either be relaxing or exhilarating. "Pretty sure that one's a two-person ride, right?"
Kyanna nodded as she and him had settled on their decision. "Yep! The perfect way to finish off the date, right?" She said as they grabbed a two-person tube and carried it up the stairs. They took each step with mild caution as they awaited their chance for more water-soaked fun.
This slide was surely one of the tallest ones at the park. Staring down from the launching area, all Michael could make out were the heads of people waiting in line.
"Come on Michael! You sit in front!" Kyanna pulled him away from the edge and had him sit down.
"Heyyy, I was just taking in the sights..!" Michael jokingly whined as Kyanna sat down behind him.
"Sure you were..!" Was all she was able to say before the ride-operators pushed the tube down the slide. Kyanna wrapped her arms around Michael's torso as she felt the tube start the couple could do was laugh and scream as they raced through the tubes, turning and swaying from side to side as the water carried their descent until they exited the slide. The exit from the slide was more than intense as their release was accompanied by a strong splash of water crashing into the both of them.
"Oh GOD..!" Michael said as he was sure the both of them were taken by surprise by that wave at the end of their ride. The small current made by the water exiting the slide was able to push them to the edge of the pool, however Kyanna didn't want to let Michael step out of the tube as her arms seemed to tighten around him.
"Uhhh Kyanna? The ride's over." Michael said as he tried to undo her grip on his torso only to be squeezed harder. "What's gotten into you all of a-" He didn't have to finish as he looked to the side, he spotted what seemed to be a blue and white polka dot bikini top floating by in the water. Upon further inspection, Michael could feel what seemed to be two slightly stiff points pressing under his shoulder blades.
"Hey...Kyanna..?" Michael asked as the silence spoke volumes.
"Yeah..?" The woman asked, attempting to be as casual as she usually was to no avail.
"I'll just…" Extending his arm, he managed to fish her bikini top from the water and hand it back to her. She quickly tied it back on and adjusted her attire accordingly. The silence didn't last long as they needed to get out of the pool to make room for the next pair of people to come down. As they walked back to the locker rooms Michael could notice a red flush covering the woman's cheeks.
"You aren't changing?" Michael asked as Kyanna threw her blue tank-top over her bikini.
"Nah...I'm covered by this anyway." She sounded a bit more flustered and slightly reserved, but she couldn't help but giggle to herself as they left the water park. "I can't believe my top came off…" Michael could hear her murmur and chuckled in agreement.
"Luckily nobody saw you...Unlucky for me, I didn't see you." He would comment,
getting a playful smack by Kyanna.
"Oh yeah, I'm sure you'd like that huh?" She jokingly taunted as she walked ahead of him and turned around, smiling at him as they made their way back to her home.
Standing outside of Kyanna's home, they stood in front of her door and she couldn't help but smile after the afternoon they spent together.
"That was really fun Michael." Kyanna told him.
"Good to hear that at least I wasn't the only one enjoying myself." He hinted with a playful wink.
Kyanna would respond with a lighthearted huff. "We should really go out again sometime soon; today was so fun..!" She couldn't express herself enough, and if she smiled too hard then it would be stuck like that for who knows how long.
"I'd be more than happy to go out with you again." Michael said as he could hear some noises going on inside of her humble abode.
"Sounds like you need to get going." He chimed in once again, looking at the door and whatever that could possibly be behind it.
"Yeah, but I love him so it's all good." Kyanna beamed. Stepping forward, she wrapped her arms around Michael one last time and hugged him, her damp swimsuit providing a quick jolt of coolness to the man's skin.
"Hooo..! Refreshing..!" Michael cooed, returning the gesture and wrapping his arms around her smaller frame. The hug was short-lived as the sounds of a woman laughing were also heard from behind the door. "Okay, now I know you need to get going." Michael said as they broke the hug.
"I'll talk to you later dude..!" Kyanna waved at Michael for a final time before opening the door and hurrying inside.
Date successful.
Sunday, Apartment, Evening
Upon reaching his home, Michael was surprised to find that Kyu wasn't sitting in his bed watching porn or scouring through his closet to find his magazines. One look at his phone would reveal that the fairy was at the Gym.
"Huh guess she won't be providing her 'fantastic' commentary tonight." He sarcastically spoke as he discarded his now chlorine-scented swim shorts into his hamper and moved to the bathroom for a much deserved shower. Setting his phone on the counter, he stepped into the quickly warming water and began to wash himself off.
The cleansing combination of soap and water was always a welcome sensation as he scrubbed off the chlorine, chemicals and sweat that had hugged his body. His hair was treated with similar respect as he bombarded his golden locks with shampoo and conditioner. Looking back on the past few days as he washed himself, he couldn't but be impressed with everything that's happened. He got the names and numbers of multiple women that had taken a liking to him, he went out with a sexy teacher a few days ago and he managed to get that same woman in bed with him as well!
"Jeez...and when I thought things were getting a bit boring, she shows up…" He says as he thinks back to the night that he met Kyu; standing in front of him with that confident grin, looking down at a man whom she thought was going to be a nervous wreck once she spoke. That expectation was met with sarcasm, snarkiness and just enough charm to catch her interest. And of all the people in the city she could've met that night, she chose him.
Shaking his head, Michael cleared his face of any suds that had flowed from his hair and proceeded to rinse off whatever risidual soap that had covered him before shutting off the water. Drying off his hair was just as uneventful as ever as Michael rubbed his towel over his head over and over until it was sufficiently dry.
Taking his attention from drying his hair however was the sound of his phone notifying him of a message being received. Curiosity getting the better of him, he grabbed the device and opened up the message.
[Just got out of the shower so I figured I'd give you a closer look since you liked staring at my butt when we were in line~]
"Oh...OH…" The image that followed that message was nothing short of fantastic.
Kyanna stood in front of a mirror holding her phone high enough so that her fit yet supple frame was perfectly in frame. Although he couldn't see her face due to the angle, the main focus of the picture was her round, tan and bare ass. She was bent over slightly, giving off the hint of something more that was just barely visible between her legs. Her ass cheeks had a sheen to them, indicating that she was truthful in that she had just gotten out of the shower.
Regaining his focus after seeing her nude brilliance, Michael noticed that his partner downstairs had woken up and was slowly growing more and more that image was open. That's when he had an idea to fire back at the tomboy.
Grabbing his towel, he held it with one hand and held it just low enough so that it could cover his manhood. Despite being covered, his tool still produced a sizeable tent; exactly what he was going for. Snapping the picture, Michael sent it to Kyanna.
[I saw you eyeing me up and down too you know? You aren't innocent either~] Once the message was sent, strolled to his bedroom to where he could try and change into a more comfortable set of clothes. However just as he slipped on a pair of boxers Kyanna would send him another message.
[The towel makes it look like a loincloth lol] Kyanna joked. Looking at the picture and how the towel hung just in front of his privates, Michael could see how she could make that connection.
[Well what can I say? I can be an animal when I wanna be~] He would chuckle as he put his phone down so he can put on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt before returning to his messages.
[Ooooo wild in the sheets eh?] She sent it back. Before Michael could conjure up a response, Kyanna would quickly send him a text back.
[Gotta get going! Still have to make myself some dinner and feed Philip]
Michael let out a small sigh, hoping to talk to her a little longer but priorities are priorities.
[Alright. I'll see you at the gym tomorrow then] Once sent, Kyanna replied with a simple heart emoji before carrying on with the rest of her evening, leaving Michael to do the same. The next order of business would be making dinner!
Sunday, Kitchen, Evening
The blissful scent of pan-fried vegetables filled the air as he stirred the colorful peppers and onions around in the pan. Sitting in the pan with them was a slice of salmon sizzling as the veggies were prepared. As Michael was cooking he could see a bright flash brighten his walls, indicating Kyu had returned from her time at the Gym.
"Had a fun time watching people sweat all day?" Michael spoke without taking his eyes off of the vegetables.
"As well as I could have. The only good-looking guy there was your friend from this morning." She mentioned. "Doesn't that guy do anything other than workout with you?" She asked.
"He works as a model, so keeping himself in top shape is basically his thing." He lazily responded, pouring soy sauce over the fish and vegetables. "And trust me, when he's not around me, chances are he's around some of the women at the studio."
"Oooooo he's a player too huh?" His response piqued Kyu's interest as she walked over to his side and watched as the food was being cooked to perfection. "And how do you know that?" Her response was answered with a hand pointing over to the counter where his phone sat.
Arching her eyebrow, Kyu took his phone and scrolled to Haric's messages and began scrolling up through past logs. It wouldn't take her long before she found pictures of the man with different women, whether they were at pools or at the studio, he knew what he was doing.
"Yep. Definitely a player." Kyu nodded as she kept scrolling to see if Haric had sent him anything juicy. "I'm honestly surprised that you aren't a copy of him with how much you two hang out." She would comment.
"Well he's not around me twenty-four seven, unlike someone that I know." Michael quickly glanced over his shoulder at the fairy to give her an idea on who he was talking about before looking back to the food that was nearly done. Kyu had stopped scrolling through Haric's messages and now moved to Kyanna's. All it took was one movement of her thumb to see the results of the day's date, and a cheeky grin formed as a result.
"And you're doing well for it. I mean, look at you..! First date and you're already getting nudes!" She said as she turned the phone to show the picture of Kyanna that was sent earlier. Michael was busy putting the food onto his plate, but the mentioning of nudes already foretold what she found.
"You just ignore the boundaries that I set for you, don't you?" Michael sighed as he placed the pan in his sink and reached over to take his phone from her hands.
"Hey don't blame me. You let me peek into your phone and you don't expect me to go snooping if you had gotten any more nudes?" She asked. She had a point there; at this point it was completely Michael's fault if he didn't want Kyu to go snooping through his phone.
"Ehh, fair point I suppose. But it's still a bit rude to go crawling through other people's phones like that." He said as he poked the fairy's forehead.
"Aaaanyway, how'd your date go this time? Got an eyeful I assume?" Pushing his hand away, she floated over to the table and waited for him to arrive with his plate as she wanted to hear all that had happened today. It was a typical date; they went to the water park and went on a couple of rides before having a conversation or two in the lazy river. From what Michael could see, Kyu listened for the most part but perked up once he mentioned Kyanna losing her top.
"You got to see her tits? Lucky! I should've been there too!" She whined as she remembered the size of Kyanna's chest. In comparison to her own it was as if she were comparing moons to planets; massive!
"No I didn't see them...But I did feel them. On my back." His comments were picked up by the love-fairy as well.
Whistling out, she clapped her hands as if this was a big accomplishment for him regardless of the fact that he had gotten laid a couple of days ago. "I bet her nips were hard as rocks too. The water was cold right?" She asked.
"Does that really matter? You already have my magazines so I don't think you need any more material to get off to for a while." As he ate he opened up his bank-app and found that more money was placed into his account; likely a result of the date he had just completed.
"Soooo how does munie work exactly?" Michael asked, as he took a bite of his meal.
Kyu groaned as she rested her head on her arm. "Didn't I already explain this to you this morning? Huniecorp is practically paying you to go out with people. That's basically it." She explained.
"But how do they even send the money to my account without my bank needing to call me-"
"Do I look like an IT or bank expert to you? My job is to help you get your dick wet, not manage your money." She quickly hissed, clearly making it a point of what she was here to do. "It's just fairy BS if anything and I don't feel like asking the fairies in the IT department. So just take that knowledge and run with it."
"Yeesh, fine..!" He went back to eating. Their conversations about the day ranged from what he and Kyanna talked about to Kyu going around the city and scoping out some new tail in the case that any of the girls Michael had in his phone decided to go wrong in any way. Soon enough however, his meal was finished and once his dishes were cleaned it was time to go back to his room.
Sunday, Bedroom, Night
A couple of hours had passed Michael and before he knew it, he was practically done with yet another one of his landscape commissions. Once fully rendered, Michael turned off his computer and laid back in his chair with a satisfied hum.
"And that's the last one…" He sighed happily. With that commission done, his list of works that he needed to be done had been finally cleared out, leaving him free from art for the time being.
Kyu, who was in her typical spot on his bed, looked over at the man with a questioning gaze. "Last one? What if someone pops out and asks you tomorrow for a drawing?" She asked as Michael shut off his computer and stood up, stretching his body.
"That won't happen…" He said as he turned around, letting his arms rest on top of his head as he walked over and sat down on his bed. "I'm gonna take a break from commissions for a bit."
"So you can put more focus on the girls?" Kyu asked, scooching back far enough to allow the man to get onto the mattress.
"You aren't wrong, but I don't wanna hurt my wrist with all my drawing." He explained as he rolled onto his belly so he could face the fairy.
"Drawing's what hurts your wrist?" She smirked, arching an eyebrow as she rested her elbows on her crossed legs.
Michael rolled his eyes. "You wish I jacked off that much." He jokingly hissed.
"Nope! You gotta save some of that stuff for the ladies, bro!" Kyu responded as she poked the top of his head as if she was reminding him to 'save up'. Right as Michael was going to fire back at her, the phone that was now sitting in his pocket vibrated and rang out a notification. "Speaking of which; looks like you got some work to do, playa."
"What can I say? I'm getting more popular by the second." He sarcastically remarked as he pulled out his phone and found that it was a message from Nikki.
[you there?] was all that was asked.
"Okay I meant that to be sarcastic." Michael pointed at Kyu.
"And yet here we are." Kyu got down onto her stomach beside the man as he was typing his response to the woman.
[yep. Finished working too so I'm free.] was his response back.
"A real charmer aren't ya?" Kyu giggled as she read his message out loud to him.
"Don't judge me. I'm just letting her know I'm available..!" He explained as he pushed her shoulder in an attempt to prevent the fairy from sticking her nose into his business.
"But you gotta let the girl start the conversations too!" She reasoned as she forced his hand into the bed and flopped her body onto it to cease its movements.
"She's the one that messaged me first you-mmmh..!" He stopped himself before he went any further, shaking his head. "Bah forget it." He said right as his phone lit up.
[that's good...] Michael tilted his head as he read out those two words. There was something more to them, and he intended to find out. Moving his trapped arm from side to side, he pushed his wrist up and into the fairy's stomach, forcing her off of his arm.
"Hoooh..! My air..!" She wheezed as she rolled off of him.
"S'what you get." He stuck his tongue at her before typing.
[Want me to call you?] He suggested.
[if you aren't busy with anything else] As Michael read her text, Kyu was getting up from her spot on the bed and floated over the floor, looking down at the man.
"Okay, so do you need my help with any of this stuff?" She asked. The man flipped onto his back so he was giving the fairy some attention.
"Uhm...I don't think so. At least, not for now." He answered. "Why? Planning on leaving me alone without my master?" He jokingly asked.
"Oh you have my number in your phone. Besides, I'll just be at the nightclub; night's still young!" She sounded excited and who could blame her? With a social butterfly like her, the nightclub is about as tempting to go to as a moth to a lamp.
Michael nodded his head, waving one of his hands above him. "I'll be here." He stated.
"I know." Kyu giggled. "I'll be back later to check on you so don't get too crazy without me!"
"Can't guarantee anything." He shrugged. "Enjoy your night, Kyu." Michael said. He could see her smile soften when he said that, but he didn't mention it to her as she nodded.
"Catch ya later!" Was the last thing she said before poofing out of his room, leaving him alone.
Alone in his room once again, Michael sighed as he got himself comfortable on his bed with his back resting against one of his pillows. Taking off his glasses, he looked to his phone and stared at the camera-shaped icon next to Nikki's picture before pressing it. The ringing noise wouldn't even chime twice before she picked it up. There wasn't the sound of buttons being mashed in the background, nor even the sound of a computer or TV; just her as she spoke.
"Hey…" She greeted in her normally monotonous voice. Through the camera she was bathed in the pale light of the moon. Along with being dressed in the blue light that pierced her window, she wore a pink pajama top from what he could see, her glasses nowhere to be seen.
"Hey there..!" Michael replied with his usual smile, adjusting himself against his pillows once again before continuing. "So what's up?" He asked.
"Not much...Just figured I'd ask if you wanted to talk since I couldn't sleep." Michael let out a small gasp as he placed a hand on his chest.
"You wanted to talk to me because you couldn't sleep..?" He was clearly joking, especially with how Nikki answered back.
"Pfft, I beat Warriors from the Abyss today and I don't have anything else to really do now." Her response quickly dashed Michael's theoretical hopes, but that didn't stop the man from lightheartedly messing around with the girl.
"Awwww and I thought you were starting to like me…" He chuckled, lifting a hand up to brush some hair from his face. Right as he did that he could've sworn he saw her cheeks light up, if even slightly.
"I think it's a little too early to say anything about that." She said.
"Fair enough." He shrugged his shoulders before continuing. "So what do you wanna talk about?" He asked.
Nikki and Michael laid in silence for a moment, attempting to find something that could maintain their interest. That was when a fantastic idea popped into that little yellow head of Michael's.
"You think we're alone in the universe?" He randomly blurted out, catching Nikki's attention as she quickly looked back at her phone screen.
"You serious?" She asked. It was if she wanted to make sure that he wasn't joking about what he just asked.
Michael hummed, confirming her hopes. "Yep. I wanna hear what you have to say about this." He said, smiling as he saw Nikki's eyes almost light up once he responded.
"Okay...Believe it or not, I've been seeing some pretty strange shit at night." Nikki sounded confident in what she said, but also unsure at the same time. It was interesting to Michael as he arched an eyebrow.
"Really? Where at?" His curiosity was piqued, but was also a little skeptical; her mind was probably playing tricks on her at night but he didn't rule out the possibility.
"When I go down to the beach sometimes I see someone quickly running by some of the trees before disappearing." Nikki explained.
"You sure it wasn't just some skinny-dipper booking it to the changing rooms?" Michael asked with a slight chuckle.
"No way man. I've never seen somebody with blue skin and white hair before." Michael's eyes slightly widened once she mentioned the individual's characteristics.
"That's…Paranormal to say the least…" He looked out of his window to the nearly cloudless sky. With that information presented to him he stared out with curiosity, wanting to know more.
"I know right? I've read some pretty interesting theories online about aliens and the paranormal." She started.
"Like how your looks are out of this world..?" Michael mumbled. His words were heard by Nikki right as she was going to continue on her rant about the possible aliens she's encountered, making her stop talking.
"Hm..? Nikki..?" Turning his eyes from the window, he checked to see if the call had disconnected but what he saw was a pair of wide blue eyes staring at him with bright cheeks that not even the blue light of the moon could mask. It took Michael a second to realize what he had said and his eyes widened slightly as well. "I said that out loud, didn't I..?" It was more of a question to himself since her reaction was more proof that he spoke his mind.
Nikki blinked her eyes for a second before pulling her eyes away from his, the blush on her cheeks still prevalent. "You must be pretty tired...you're saying random shit…" She said. "Might be best for you to go to sleep…" She recommended.
Michael shook his head, "I'm not tired...besides, I just have a tendency of being honest." He reasoned. Nikki took some momentary glances back at Michael, only to accidentally lock their eyes everytime she looked. She was obviously not used to getting compliments like that, and so all she could do was request a bit of time to process that.
"You should sleep...have more work to do tomorrow right..?" She asked, reaching up to play with some strands of blue that hung on her face.
"Nope. I'm done with my commissions for now. I can stay up." He answered as he rolled onto his side, propping himself up on one of his arms.
Nikki sighed, rolling onto her side as well. "You don't have to do all that for me. Judging from last night, you know I stay up late…" Michael didn't care about that as he shook his head, making his choice known to her.
His upbeat tone from before became softer as he spoke. "It won't sit right with me if I go to sleep and you don't. So I'll stay up with you until you finally go to sleep." Hearing his voice was somehow calming to the woman, each word that came from slipped from his lips ushered her to breathe and relax. Maybe he wasn't like all of the other guys that were hitting on her just for her looks or to get with her other friends…
The coming hours were relaxing for the both of them as they laid in their beds, talking to each other about whatever came to mind; normally video games or the paranormal. Some laughs were had, but it was an overall calming time; Nikki could feel the stresses and annoyances of the day seep away with every passing moment. It felt nice.
Soon enough however, Nikki was finding it difficult to keep her eyes open, especially with how she was resting on her side with her pillow cradling her head just right. Not having much strength in her, she simply allowed her eyes to close without even hanging up the call. The last thing that she saw was Michael resting on his side as well, smiling into the camera as he spoke and obviously saw her drifting away.
"Good night…" Was the last thing she heard. Playing his voice in her head, she felt her lips curl into a smile. His voice was still soft as his own voice trailed off as he fell asleep as well.
After another hour had passed, Kyu would pop back into Michael's room with a goofy grin on her face as she played her night back in her head. She held her tongue as soon as she saw Michael sleeping soundly, the lamp still on and his phone not plugged in.
"How're you gonna talk to the ladies if you aren't charged..?" She quietly spoke, knowing that he would be able to hear her if she wasn't careful. Being the curious soul she was, she peeked at Michael's phone screen and saw the sleeping Nikki on the screen. Her grin softened as she looked back and forth between Michael and Nikki.
"You're doing great, Mikey." She would whisper as she plugged the charging cable into Michael's phone, making sure to not knock the phone over. Giving the sleeping man one last look, she flicked off the lamp and disappeared with a pink flash.
