New Beginning

CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN

Christopher

"Shit, I'm getting too old for this," I sighed rotating my neck counter clockwise. August, Tremaine, and Sinko wanted to have a session at the gym today, so I told them I would get one in with them after I finished up my work. We were now ending the evening in the sauna. My back was killing me though. I couldn't wait to get home and lay down.

"For what? Working out," Trey asked.

"Hell naw," I answered quickly. "Trying to throw Raya's back out last night and I done fucked around and threw mine out in the process. A nigga can't move these hips like he use to." The guys started laughing immediately from the way I explained.

"Aye man, I can't even cap I'm starting to feel the same way," Sinko added. "I got a mean ass charlie horse with this shorty I was fucking with about a week ago. I toppled over like I was about to have a seizure."

"Naw brutha say it ain't so," August laughed.

"Man what," Sinko just gave him a look. "She in her mid 20s, so she was like 'baby what's wrong'," he said in a mimicked woman voice. "Whole time, I'm still leaning over her right? I was just like listen baby I don't mean no harm, but unc body just gave out on him."

We all hooped and hollered for about a good 5 minutes with that one.

"I'm telling y'all bro. I'm about to be a on my back type nigga at this point," Sinko shook his head chuckling.

"At least be a on the side type nigga," I said trying to make it better.

"Or something. I can't be fucking like I use to! Suck on it and sit. That's all I got."

"Man, go take some potassium and handle yo bidness," August told him. "I don't give a damn how many times these bones pop, I'm falling up in Naomi ass any chance I get."

"Faaaaacts," Tremaine nodded. "I need that from Asia every time."

"It's different for y'all though. Y'all got girls. I'm in my 30s still fucking with hoes. Hell naw, unc ain't got it."

"You need to settle down nigga. It's time," I told him.

"Been time hell," August added.

"Find me a girl then. Where Raya other friends at? Seems like the first set already got accounted for."

"Hey Chris, sorry to interrupt but Lorraine is here. She wanted to see you," Josh came in with a soft knock.  I sighed.

"Damn. Ok. Tell her I'll be right out," I said. Josh nodded and closed the door back behind him.

"Who is Lorraine again," Tremaine asked. I stood up and put a towel around my neck.

"My general manager at the other gym."

"The one with that fat ass," Sinko added his input. "Put me on cuz."

"Man hell naw. Lo is a nice girl, I wouldn't dare let you hurt that woman. You know you be having too much going on."

"So you about to do me like that?"

"Yes," I answered precisely patting him on his shoulder. "Aite y'all boys I'll catch up with you later."

I dapped them up and headed on out. I made sure to be fully clothed before I had Josh send her in. I didn't want to give off any other impressions than what it was. She wanted to go over some reports with me. I told Lorraine to always keep me updated, discuss changes, ideas, and be transparent as much as possible with me and let me just say she didn't take that lightly at all. She was over any time she could be or emailing me the other times. I'm grateful to know I have such a detailed manager, but damn. She's cool at least, so I guess it's not necessarily an issue. It doesn't make it too overbearing either. I also loved her creative brain. She had so many great plans on how to take Fit Life to another level and I appreciated having a team member with just as much as enthusiasm as me.
