Joey

"Wake up baby"

My eyes fluttered and met a pair of vibrant emeralds that gazed at me with twinkles in them. A small smile appeared on Derek's soft face and he kissed my lips.

D: Morning Joey, did you sleep well? 

J: Yeah I slept like a rock. I was in heavennn

Derek smiled and got up from bed, wearing green sweats and sporting a shirtless look. He took a tray that was sitting the nightstand.

D: I made you breakfast

On his tray held a plate of sunny side up eggs, toast, a tall glass of orange juice, and a homemade yoghurt parfait with blueberries topped around it.

J: Aww thanks, that's sweet

I sat up and he placed the tray on my lap. I took a long sip of the orange juice and felt special.
I've never had another guy make me breakfast, especially in bed. I ate the eggs while Derek did push ups on the floor.

D: 70, 71, 72

He counted and then stopped at 80.

D: I can usually go up to 150 but I haven't worked out in a while

J: It's okay, you still look great 

Derek grinned and picked up some heavy dumbbells. He easily lifted them up and down. His biceps were so big and strong, hardening each time he brought a weight upwards.

I was digging into my parfait when he was now doing sit ups. He went up 30 before he was getting tired. Grunting, he continued going until he reached 60.

Sweaty and panting, Derek took a swig of water out of a plastic
bottle.

J: Geez don't push yourself too hard

D: A body like mine needs to be maintained honey

I raised my eyebrows in amusement as Derek jokingly licked his lips and modelled for me, sticking his chest out and flexing his arms.

D: Yeah yeahhh check out these guns

J: Settle down old man

D: Looks like someone's jealous

J: Oh please

Derek stuck his tongue out and headed to the bathroom. I got out of bed and stretched before working out. It's been a while since I did any psychical activity. I was in the middle of doing jumping jacks when the door knocked and I opened it to see Preston.

P: God Joey would it kill you to put some clothes on

I looked down at my shirtless body and white boxer briefs and shrugged.

J: You see me shirtless all the time

P: I'm guessing you've sealed the deal with Derek

I couldn't stop myself from grinning.

J: Yeah. Last night? Amazing

P: Spare me the details

Preston walked in the room, his hands tucked in the pocket of his jeans.

P: So where's lover boy

J: He's taking a shower. Hungry?

P: Whatchu got

I walked to the kitchen and found a bowl of fruit sitting in the centre of Derek's counter. I picked a red apple and tossed it to Preston, who caught it and took a bite.
