Chapter 16 I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked - Ida Maria

Sarah came into the locker room getting the stats round up from the trainers and all the info she needed. She could feel Kris’ eyes on her but not in a good way. She had been pissy with her for the last three days since she wouldn’t release him to skate. “You my office.” she said pointing at him. She strode out of the room not giving the guys a chance to make cat calls about her calling him into her office and assuming something exciting was about to happen.
She stood behind her desk waiting for him. He was just a few beats behind her. “Close the door.” she said as calm as she could. He opened his mouth to speak but she put her hand up stopping him. “You listen and you listen good. When it comes to being here and your health we aren’t dating. It’s my job to make sure you stay as well as possible. I know you’re three weeks into the healing process and it sucks but guess what you’re still yellow and that’s good but it’s taking it time to heal up. You need to stop shooting daggers at me with your eyes.” she sat down in her chair looking at him. “Might as well stop that pouting too because it doesn’t work here.” she crossed her arms over her chest staring him down.
He had been rude, glaring and pouty and he knew it. She had been annoying though constantly reminding him to do this not that or how to move so it didn’t bother him. The first week it had been great to have her around since it really did hurt then but now it was just annoying since it felt better he wanted to get skating again. “I will stop. I know you are doing what you can.” he leaned back in the chair sighing. “I just want to skate. It is like if you are hurt you want to run.” he said trying to garner some support with her.
“You forget I like to run but I don’t love it.” she ran her hand though her hair. “I’m going to release you to skate next practice. No contact, just skating. I’m tempted to say no stick but I know that won’t fly.”
He went to open his mouth but closed it again a tiny closed lip smile spreading across his face. He was so excited he wanted to bounce up and down in his chair. He felt like he could explode he was so happy.
Sarah rolled her eyes. “You can be happy.” she said leaning back in her chair relaxing. “Ok quick switch to girlfriend mode.” she spun her chair around goofing off like that would actually change something. “I’m going running with Mal when we’re done here. We’re doing nine miles to her place from here but she’s just two from you so I’m going to just do 12 and end at your place ok?” she knew it would be ok but she wanted to let him know. Since she had gotten the mystery key to his place from Max he told her to just keep it saying he felt better knowing she had it than Max did. He still wasn’t exactly sure how Max got the key but he was pretending that didn’t happen.
“Yes it no problem.” he shrugged without wincing. “I will order dinner you’ll be there around seven?” he asked relaxing intot heir usual comfortable relationship flow.
“Yeah but order it for eight so I won’t get sick when I eat it right after.” that had been a lesson she had to always remember. Wanting to eat right after she ran was something she always wanted to do but landed her hugging a toilet every time for some reason. “I’ll try not to be hyper or exhausted when I get there. I know I’m a pain in the ass when I’m either way.”
“Don’t worry I am no longer mad at you.” he cheesed a big stupid grin at her getting up from the seat in the office. “See you tonight.” he added stretching across her desk to plant a quick kiss on the corner of her mouth.
“Yep tonight. All sweaty and gross I’ll trun up at your door.” she laughed. “And in layers lots of layers.”
It was the week before Thanksgiving and the city was somewhere between full an empty as the students started to head home and everyone from far away returned to their families. The constant construction was indeed constant as Sarah and Mal went for their run. It was one of the typical cold but sunny days that made it hard to run your body was cold but you got hot in the sun and in your layers.
“So you guys have been dating for….” Mal said as they went at a relatively gentle pace around the city proper.
“We’ve been dating for about two months.” Sarah clarified. “Weird dating though since we seen one another just about everyday.”
You’re spending two nights a week at his and he spends one or two nights at yours?” Mal knew these details but she liked to rehash Sarah’s love life more than anyone.
“Yeah though less at mine because he has to do his rituals at his apartment.” she took a few strides in silence. “That makes him sound crazy but they all have their routines. Kris’ is pretty mild compared to some of the other guys.” She explained. “Trust me if I could get away with it I’d send half the team to out patient psych for OCD tendencies and a few of them would for sure be western psych bound for the crazy dedication to their ritual and routines.” she was for sure worried about what was going to happen to a few of them next year when they moved across the street. They had some time before they had to deal with that though.
“So any of them single?” Mal asked their breathing deep but regular as they sucked in cold air and breathed out hot clouds.
“Yeah you interested?” Sarah asked raising an eyebrow. “I thought you were still hooking up with Mike from radiology?”
“Uh no. He was married. Can you believe it? I knew his city apartment was to good to be true.”
“Mal you have the worst taste in men. I thought mine was bad but you take the cake this time.”
“Well you lucked out with Kris.” Mal said as they paused for traffic before heading out into the bridge two miles left before Mal completed her run. Sarah could tell her friend was starting to get winded and no doubt had sore feet.
“I am lucky.” Sarah repeated thinking of her boyfriend who was waiting for her. By the time she reached his place the sun would be setting. “I have some in mind for you. Crazy and fun loving. He’s a good friend to everyone. He’s got pretty blue eyes too.”
“Oh you know I’m a sucker for blue eyes.” Mal’s were blue as well. She always liked blue eyed guys saying if she was going to have kids some day she wanted them to have blue eyes too.
“I’ll have to set something up. A kind of chill double date. Oh I know you can come to late Thanksgiving at my place. He’ll be there. G-Dad will be happy to see you too.” Sarah explained how she would be hosting most of the single and Canadian guys for Thanksgiving since they didn’t really have anywhere else to go… and it wasn’t really their traditional Thanksgiving holiday day anyways.
“Yeah. I’ll be there after I visit my family. It’ll give me an excuse to split before Uncle Ron gets drunk and starts with the ethnic slurs.” Mal joked.
Sarah shook her head as she spotted the first snow flakes start to fall. “It’s getting to be that time of year.” she said with a kind of sigh… well the best sigh one could have while running. “I need to start thinking about what to get Kris fro Christmas.” she had a few ideas but she wasn’t sure how much to spend. “At Thanksgiving see if you can get out of him what he’s going to spend on me so I can kind of budget the same.” she had a bad habit of over spending for all of her friends and family. She had extra money though with all the working she did and the little free time she had nowhere to spend it.
They arrived at Mal’s and Sarah coached her in stretching while she jogged in place. Mal didn’t approve of Sarah running even just the two more miles along in the growing dark. “I’ll be fine. Kris is expecting me and I’ll text you when I get there. He’s got my phone.” she was obviously still full of energy as she jogged in place. “Seriously no big deal I used to run by myself all the time.”
“I know but I didn’t like it then either.” Mal sighed as she stretched. “Just text me as soon as you’re safe ok?”
“Promise. Now go shower you smell. Or I smell. Well we both smell.” She paused her jogging in place for just a second to give her friend a quick hug.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The run to Kris’ left Sarah to her own thoughts. It was nice to be able to just think and breath. Her mind kept drifting to her relationship with Kris. It felt healthy and good. Sure they had their ups and downs. He was moody sometimes and she signed up for extra shifts when she had problems but they made it work despite seeing more of one another than normal couples. She really cared about him and for the first time in a long time it felt like someone really cared about her.
She arrived at his place stretching outside before fishing the key out of her sweaty inside pocket of her fleece. She let herself in calling out to him. “Hey, I’m here where’s my phone so Mal knows I didn’t die.” she found her bag in it’s usual place in the chair of his bedroom. She pulled hit out sending a quick message for Mal before starting to look for him. She left her phone going to find Kris. She checked the kitchen a common place to find him and the living room but came up empty finally she found him in the bathroom door closed shower running. She left him alone crashing on the couch still in her running gear so she could warm up.
Finally the shower stopped and she turned her attention to the hall seeing him come out of the bathroom in a towel his body and hair still dripping wet. She smirked as he finally saw her on the sofa.
“Quand êtes-vous arrives?” he asked his face giving away it was a question.
“You just talked to your Mom didn’t you?” she asked following him to the bedroom. He always had a bit of trouble transitioning back
“Yes. Sorry. When did you get here?” he asked as he picked up a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.
“Just a bit ago.” she pulled the fleece over her head stepping up behind him wrapping her arms around his wet body. “You’re so clean and shiny to bad I’m gonna get my sweaty nastiness all over you.” she rubbed her face between his shoulder blades her hands wondering over his chest.
“Oh I think it will be ok.” he turned in her arm immediately going for the hem of her sweaty fitted under armor tank pulling it over her head followed by her sports bra. Her body was red from the run and from being inside direct from the cold. “Mmm… best way to cool down from a work out ever.” she said bringing her mouth to his as her arms moved over his wet body finding their way to his hair. It was already starting to grow out.
She was sweaty and he was wet so his hands moved over her quickly and efficiently. Till he laid her back in an effort to remove her tights. He pulled from the ankles which only made her laugh. “You can’t take them from there silly.” she guided his hands to her waist where he hooked his fingers into the waist band pulling the pants along with her underwear down. “See much easier she cooed beckoning for him to join her on the bed. She unhooked the towel from around his waist as his hand moved up her inner thigh cupping her sex. She took his length in her hand working him slowly till he was at full attention.
It was when he moved to be on top their heads bumped. “No. Something different.” She said guiding him back till his back was against the head board and he was sitting up. It was a bit shocking how traditional he was or at least to Sarah it was shocking. She liked missionary as much as the next girl with a skilled boyfriend but every now and then she liked to be the one in charge as well. She straddled his lap taking him in her hand as she slowly sank down over his length.
“Does this mean you medically release me for more stressful physical activity?” he said gruffly in her ear as his hands found her hip. The pads o his fingers dug into her lower back holding her in place in his lap.
“Something like that.” she said back nipping at his ear lobe before starting a tedious and slow rhythm that had them both melting. He slid slower down the bed till he was nearly on her back with her over top of him taking her turn to have her hands on either side of his shoulders. His thrusts met her backward rocking driving him deep inside her.
Sarah was already a sweaty mess when they started but it was clear by the time they were done he was going to need another shower as well. His hands came up to her breasts. Kris pinched and rolled her nipples getting and added sound effect of extra moans which made him smile. He loved being the reason for her to make any noise. It wasn’t long till they were both red with anticipation teetering on the edge. Instinctively he brought his fingers to her clit knowing she had to be a few paces behind him. He rubbed the swollen nub with the pad of his thumb sending Sarah’s usual steady trained breathing to erratic. “Kris… I’m going to…”
She didn’t have time to finish before the waves of pleasure washed over her as she gently rocked her inner walls holding him squeezing tight inside her. He was only moments behind the tightening of her walls milking him as he jerked and let go inside of her.
Sarah collapsed down onto his chest not caring how sweaty and wet they were. She laid there listening to her own heart beat thundering in her ears slowly dissipate till she could hear his beneath her. He was content with her laying on his chest. Slowly he brought his fingers to her back lightly brushing up and down her spine. Finally with her senses in tact she moved off of him but only to his side so she wasn’t putting any pressure on his shoulder. “Sometimes different is good right?”
“If you wanted different you could have just asked.” he said now playing with the ends of her ponytail. Most of her hair had fallen out around her face while on the run and was now stuck there in her sweat but he played with what he could.
“Why ask when I could just do?” she said simply. It was then the doorbell rang making Sarah jump out of her skin.
“Dinner. Italian ok?” he asked slowly shifting out from under her and pulling sweats on. Before searching out a t-shirt and finding his wallet in it’s usual place on the dresser.
“Yeah sounds good.” she said from the bed where she still laid. “I need to shower though so I’ll be a minuet.”
She didn’t take long in the shower just getting clean and washing her hair so she wouldn’t smell. She was sure to use ‘her bathroom’ and her shampoo (a favor to him since he wasn’t a fan of when she smelled like his things). She dressed in her own pajamas which she had packed in the bag she sent with him.
Smells good.” she said joining him in the kitchen wrapping her arms around his waist ducking under his shoulder so she could see. Two plates of pasta one with a much smaller portion size that she knew to be hers as well as two lovely grilled chicken breasts. “Looks good too.” she added tilting her head up to him.
“Yep does look good.” he said looking down at her. Kris pressed a quick kiss to her lips before taking the plates to his small table.
It was just a normal night from there out. Dinner and watching a movie on the sofa together and then sleeping. Every once and awhile they both loved to just be normal for a change.
