-Rather short one this time, no sex, but awkward situation for our hero. More to come-
While my store manager Rachel motivated me to lose weight and get into shape (see first chapter), I can't really claim that I did it all on my own. If it wasn't for mom noticing my sudden zealot like fanaticism getting into shape, I wouldn't have reached the goals Rachel set for me.
Mom is thirty nine, once the captain of the University volleyball team, and former semi-pro beach volleyball champion, with lots of trophies and awards to show for it. Her shoulder length silky black hair, and startling emerald green eyes made her stand out from the other bleach blonde vixens she competed with. The videos I'd seen of her in her prime were truly something to behold, all sinewy muscle and six pack abs, barely concealed by her almost there bikini.
She didn't have much in the way of ass or breasts when she competed professionally, but all that changed when dad knocked her up with their first child, my older sister Lily. Pregnancy softened mom somewhat, the breast fairy finally catching up with her and blessed her thirty four 'A' cup to a sizable 'C' cup. And from how grandpa described it, Mom's ass fleshed out in equal measure, turning the once wiry twig into a stunning statuesque figure.
Since getting pregnant pretty much crushed her chances at competing in the Olympics, mom retired from competitive sports to become a stay at home mom, a trophy wife, maintaining a strict diet and exercise regime to keep herself in shape, should the Olympic committee ever change their mind.
Then I came along two years later and fucked everything up.
Mom had a lot of complications carrying me to term, necessitating her to reduce her demanding exercise regime to almost zero.
Eight months into her pregnancy, while driving home from a doctors appointment, she was t-boned by some drunk driver. Mom nearly died and they took me by emergency C-section.
To add to her woes, dad filed for divorce. He didn't want to deal with having to care for a severely injured wife that would never regain her trophy wife status, and decided that his younger secretary was the better option.
Devastated, Mom moved back in with her parents and they nursed her back to health. Despite the doctors saying she would be confined to a wheelchair, Mom was determined, and learned not only to walk again, but run as well. The doctors were amazed by her recovery. She added yoga to her routine, regaining her youthful flexibility as well and became a fitness instructor and in many ways, even more beautiful and athletic then she had before the accident.
So it was weird that her son, who never showed interest in diet and exercise suddenly tried to kill himself getting into shape. Seeing that I was serious, mom took it upon herself to become my personal trainer.
After the whole Rachel incident, we continued to work out together. And we ran. Oh god did we run. If the weather was bad, treadmills at the gym were our instruments of endurance, otherwise we would routinely run to the park and back, a good five miles or so. We entered marathons and fun runs, becoming a common sight in the running community. The mother and son team that was hard to beat. We always paced ourselves to each other, and crossed the finish line at the same time nearly every race.
After a particularly hard afternoon run I saw mom wince and limp as we climbed the stairs to the apartment, and no sooner were we inside when she made a bee line for the couch, and sat down heavily, nursing her foot.
"You okay?" I asked taking off my shoes at the door.
"Foot hurts." Mom said with a grimace. "That curb at Elm Street."
I remember. The bane of many runners. It's a curb that is nearly two inches higher than it had any right to be, and she caught the edge of it while crossing traffic, nearly sending her sprawling onto the sidewalk. At the time she cursed something distinctly not mom like, and after checking she was okay, we pressed on.
"What the fuck?" I exclaimed. "That was two miles ago! And you didn't say anything?"
"It didn't hurt then." Mom said defensively, removing her running shoe and sock to get a better look. "Thought I stubbed my toe. Looks okay. Doesn't look swollen. Can you bring me an icepack?"
I quickly fished one of the flat compresses out of the freezer, and went to mom's side.
I knelt before her, and without asking, took her foot in my hand.
Immediately I was assailed with her sweaty foot odor, and I froze.
I absolutely loathed foot odor, and when I worked at the shoe store it was all I could do to suppress the gag reflex at times.
I know that sounds strange for someone that has a fetish like mine, but hey, we all have our likes and dislikes.
