Six weeks later both C.J. and Chris stood in front of that stupid punching bag. Matt was teasing them getting them to punch harder, work out harder, hit him harder when they practiced those moves. The other women at Houston Industries had a class of elite trainers working with them on Friday mornings, but Chris and C.J. had Matt, every freaking day.
"Now come on, I always hear you two talking about women being the stronger sex and I just want to see you two prove it to me. How about a little wager? If either of you can knock me back, we'll call it a day and I'll buy lunch, whatever you want. If neither of you can then we get to keep this workout going maybe with some jump rope, and I will order something nice and healthy for the two of you." He said with smile on his face.
C.J. and Chris just looked at each other and nodded and before Matt knew it he was on the floor when both hit that bag with everything they had left.
C.J. walked over first and said, "I think that ends our little work out today. I'll take a pizza with extra black olives."
Chris walked over next and said, "And I'll take a calzone with extra pepperoni."
Matt sat up smiling and C.J. helped him to his feet and took him upstairs. Chris would be showering and changing and they always made sure she knew they were just upstairs watching out so she wouldn't worry about using the shower herself. Once they got up to the couch Matt pulled her into his embrace and said, "You know, we should probably hit the hot tub to loosen up the muscles."
C.J. smiled and reached up to kiss him, "Maybe later. Right now I want some juice and the arms of my husband firmly around me. I love you so much Matt."
Matt kissed her back and told her, "I love you, C.J." He brushed the hair off her face and told her, "After lunch I want us to go back out sailing. There's something that's been on my mind lately as I was hoping we could go out and talk about it."
C.J. looked in his eyes, and asked, "What is it? Why can't we talk about it here?"
Matt kissed her again and answered, "It's about our future C.J., I just want to talk about the beautiful future I have planned for us."
C.J. smiled at those words that warmed her heart. So she agreed and went to sit down on the couch with some juice while Matt called in the lunch order. She sat there and wondered what Matt had up his sleeve. She loved him so much and knew that anything he had planned would be perfect.
