Arturo and Rohan's Holiday Series
Chapter 5
Amor A La Mexicana
It was a hot day in May as I sat on the metal bleachers at Rohan's college; we were at his track meet. A yellow hat and black rim sunglasses shielded me from the heat. Many people who sat with me in the bleachers either had umbrellas or some sort of item to shield them from the sun. Despite being Mexican, I wasn't too fond of the heat.
It had been 5 months into our relationship and every week it felt like the relationship had grown stronger. He even teased about introducing me to his parents, which would also come with the reveal of his sexuality. I advised him to come out first, then reveal me. It could be overwhelming to them. And it was different coming out to your parents than your friends.
Rohan walked up to the starting line. I smiled as I watched him stretch. He wore burgundy colored 3-inch inseam shorts and a yellow tank top, representing the colors of his school. Rohan was one of the very few on the track team to wear the short and tank top combination. The rest of the team wore compression long shorts and tops.
Rohan got into position, he quickly turned and flashed a smile at the crowd, but I knew it was meant for me; then the race began. He darted past a few of the people in the race. I watched as my boyfriend ran around the track; moving past his opponents. The entire time I cheered him on.
The race ended and Rohan finished in first place.
Rohan stepped away after the round of cheers from the hometown crowd. He walked away to the side of the bleachers. I got up and down to meet him. He had one more race so I wanted to see him before it.
Rohan paced back and forth in the hallway. We were alone. He held a bottle of Gatorade in his hands. A smile grew on his face when he noticed me, "Hey, you enjoying the meet?"
I bit my lower lip. I wanted to wrap my arms around his waist, but I knew we couldn't do that here. The locker room was not too far. "Yeah, you run really fast. Faster than me, even."
He snickered, "I'm sure you can keep up.
"You need to stop flirting with me, you're making it hard not to kiss you."
Rohan looked around and saw no one, "One little kiss won't hurt; for good luck."
He pulled me to him and wrapped his arms around my waist and we kissed.
I wanted the moment to last forever, but I knew it couldn't. Rohan released me and I stepped away. "You ready for the next race?" I said.
"Yeah, but my feet are killing me. The heat isn't helping."
I looked around and made sure no one was round. I kissed him on the lips, "Come in first, and I'll give you a good foot rub later. It's my forte."
Rohan grinned, "Call me the Flash, because I'm winning that shit!"
Rohan turned around and I slapped him on the butt, "Now go win that race!" He then jogged back to the track to prepare for the next race.
Rohan came in first place and his school won the track meet.
After he showered, Rohan was offered to go out to eat with his track teammates to celebrate. I encouraged him to go, but instead he chose to celebrate with me. I loved how he was willing to spend so much time with me. We ate and then went back to my apartment.
Rohan moaned.
My thumb moved along the smooth surface. I stared up at him as he tilted his head back with closed eyes. Another moan came from his mouth as my thumb pressed on the center of his foot.
"Fuck, you're so good at this, baby," Rohan said.
I smiled at the fact that he loved my foot massages, "Thank you, I've had plenty of practice growing up. I used to massage the feet of my grandma and aunts."
I finished massaging his right foot and placed it back into the damp towel, then I went to his other foot. I poured some cream onto the surface of the foot and gently spread it around. Rohan's feet were in a bucket of warm water with some epsom salt prior to the massage. He had run a lot today and the man needed some TLC for his feet.
When I finished with his feet I moved up his legs where I began to give them a massage. I stared at his calves, then moved up to his thighs. Rohan wore lime green shorts that ended mid-thigh. Rohan watched me as I massaged his lower body.
"I don't want to get up," Rohan said as I finished the massage.
I sat on his lap and brought my lips to his, "We don't have to, we can just sit here."
I felt his hand on my lower back, gently moving it back and forth. It felt good to be with such a caring man like Rohan. 5 months into the relationship and everything was going dandy between us. Aside from the sex, I loved being with him and it genuinely felt like he felt the same. In no time we would be meeting each other's parents.
The hardest part of the relationship that we faced was Easter weekend. Rohan had gone out with his family to celebrate the holiday. I ended up being alone that weekend because I refused to be at my parent's home. But that short 3-day separation ended and I was once again reunited with my boyfriend.
"You know, I wore my Nike briefs at the race," Rohan said.
"Oh yeah? Did they help you?" I teased.
"They actually did. There's a few guys on the team who also wear briefs."
"I bet none of them look as good as you do in them. Especially with that cute runner's outfit you were wearing. You looked so hot in it."
He grinned, "Yeah, I bet. You'd probably look good in them too. You thought about running?"
I smirked, "Maybe. Or perhaps," my hand slid down his chest. I could feel the heat emanating from his body, "Another sport, like..." I thought for a second, "Wrestling."
"Oh yeah? Wrestling? You? I'd love to see you in a wrestling singlet."
"Only if you wear one for me."
He grinned, "Maybe that can happen."
Rohan yawned. It was late after noon already, the man must've been tired from his track run. "Would you like to get some sleep?" I said.
"A bit early, don't you think?" he said.
"We can nap, then have some dinner."
He smiled, "Alright, but I don't know how I will get up. Despite the lovely massage, my legs are like jelly."
I stood up and leaned down, "I'll carry you."
He laughed, "You're not going to carry me."
"And why not?"
Rohan wrapped his arm around my neck and as I put myself into the position to lift him. We were similar in weight, he was heavier due to the muscles. But I could carry him. I bent my knees and began to lift him.
"Arturo, be careful," he warned.
"Relax, baby, I can carry you," I could. Slowly, I lifted him off the recliner and walked slowly to the bedroom.
