A well deserved massage

Mike had gotten permission from John to use the private massage room. It was a small room with one massage table, a chair, a cupboard with towels, a sink, a small table and two windows with blinding foil on the windows, so n one could look in. Mike had put some candles in the windowsill and on the table and on the shelves. After he had lit the candles and turned of the light, leaving the room in the soft glow of the flickering candles. "Wow Mike, it looks beautiful." Tina said.

"I'm hoping it will prove calming as well." Mike said as he helped Tina on the table. "Now lay down and let me give you a nice long massage." Tina laid down, lowering her bathrobe first. Mike rubbed the oil on her back with soothing circles, not applying too much pressure feeling the muscles under his hands, they were very stiff. The warmth coming from Mike's hands and the faint scents from the candles made Tina relax just letting Mike rub her back. Slowly he started to apply more pressure feeling the muscles loosen. He heard and felt Tina sigh. "That's it Tina, just relax." He whispered. "This feels good Mike. You give really great massages."

"I can say the exact same of you Tina. After your massages I always feel like I can take on the world. Your shoulders are really stiff, it's like rubbing stones."

"They feel like stones every time I move." Tina said.

"I think this is going to hurt Tina. I really need to put some pressure on them." Mike said as het stroked her shoulder.

"I know, but in the end I'll feel better right?"

"Yes."

"Then go on." As Mike started on her shoulders he first felt Tina tense up, but after a while she relaxed her shoulders more, he could feel them get more supple and as Tina started talking again he knew the worst was over. "You played a great game, Mike. The second half was really good.

"It finally felt like we were a team, a real team. It was amazing. I mean, because we were a team everybody wat that much better. All the plays went great." Mike couldn't see it, but Tina smiled to herself, hearing him talk so passionately made her feel so thankful. She wanted the best for Mike, wanted him to enjoy everything he loved so much. She knew he felt the same for her, supporting and helping her whenever he could. She felt like they were growing together, discovering themselves and each other and it was amazing. "So, do you want to got the party?" Tina asked.

"Well, I don't have a curfew, but if you are still tired we could go somewhere else, or just go home." Mike said, continuing his massage. "If you don't have to worry about me, would you go to the party?" Tina asked, already knowing the answer. "Yes, I would like to celebrate this win. But if…" Tina interrupted Mike: "Then we'll go to the party." Before Mike could interject, Tina went on: "and don't worry about me. I'll survive, especially after this massage. Besides, you deserve to celebrate and the girls worked hard on that party. I still don't really know how they managed. I mean nothing had been planned. Everybody expected a forfeit or less."

"How did they manage? What have you heard?" Mike asked as his hands worked on Tina's back. "Oh, that feels good. Ehm, let's see. Lauren and Artie got the AV club for the lights and music. Quite a few members were in the stands. Quinn talked to Figgins for approval. Mercedes and Rachel got the old banners and posters, that were hung in the school when you won a game previously. And Santana had already planned a party with the Cheerios in her house, so she already had a lot of snacks. Coach Beiste said she'd pay the rest of the snacks, so Santana and Brittany went out to get extra drinks and snacks. And voila you have a party."

"You girls are really amazing you know." Mike said.

"And don't you forget."

"I won't. I'm almost done, I'll wash your back and then we can get going." Silence settled over the couple as Mike finished the massage and washed Tina's back, getting most of the oil off. After drying off the residual water he kissed her shoulder, their signal the massage was done. Tina pushed herself up, rolling her shoulders and stretching her back. "That was amazing Mike. I feel so much better thank you.: Mike handed Tina her clothes. "You're welcome, but you will feel it tomorrow."

"All the more reason to go to you and spent the day with you." Tina leaned forward and kissed Mike, who promptly kissed her back. He couldn't help it…kissing Tina was one of his favorite pastimes. After breaking the kiss, Tina continued getting dressed she had picked one of her vintage Victorian age inspired dresses, with fishnet fingerless gloves and a beautiful neckless. Mike got her shoes and helped getting them on, as he was tying them he asked Tina what she wanted to do on Saturday. Tina just shrugged her shoulders saying she didn't know or really care, as long as she was with Mike. Mike quickly blew out the candles, putting the used things asway and closed both bags. He would leave theme here and get them later, nobody would come here. Tina waited for Mike to finish and then hugged him hard, taking in the smell that was Mike. Mike just took her in his arms enjoying her warmth. "I love you, Mike." Tina said, with her head buried in his neck. Mike smiled and told her he loved her too.
