It had been a long day, and i couldn't wait to get home and get my feet off the ground!
Ever since my early teenage years, I've developed some type of back problem that always cause me a lot of pain by the end of the day, it is awful.
Thankfully, dad is a renowned chiropractor and message therapist in my area and he's been a blessing in my life. Sometimes when I get home after a long day, he'd offer to massage my back and it is truly something I look forward to when I'm on my way home every night from school. Mom is not a fan of it however, she thinks he spoils me too much and that "my back problems would go away if I was more active and played more sports". She is clueless. My back problems go beyond simple active tendencies. That's not to say i am a slob, i go to the gym every night after school with my friends. It is a routine I've been doing ever since my freshman year, but it hasn't helped with my back issues as mom preaches. I'm 18 years old now and In fact, i think it has become worse with time. But thankfully I've got dad. My sister is also more understanding of my predicament.
As I was heading home, i received a text from mom telling me the family were having a movie night and that if I wanted them to wait for me. Now I'm not much of a movie guy but what the heck, it sounded relaxing so I told her to wait for me.
As I got home, my back was absolutely aching me, and a headache was starting to crawl into my skull.
"Yeah, time for a massage from dad" I thought.
I felt butterflies in my stomach just to think of the relief i will feel, that's how talented dad was.
As i walked in the house, the smell of popcorn was almost overwhelming and everyone was already comfy in the living room with the lights dimmed.
"Hurry up gosh!" My sister yelled as I ran upstairs to leave my backpack in my room and change into something more comfy.
"Be right there, you guys can start the movie now if you want!" I replied from upstairs not wanting them to wait any longer for me.
I could care less about a movie. All I was really looking forward to was that massage from dad. I quickly changed into my comfy boxers and a breezy tank top, grabbed the moisturizing cream my dad always puts on my back for his massages and ran downstairs.
The movie had already begun and it seemed like an action flick from what I could tell. They paused the movie as I arrived in the living room.
"Where are you sitting?" Mom asked.
She was sitting next to dad cuddling him up for dear life on the big sofa, my sister was on the floor, she had put several covers to make a cushioned surface. It looked comfy but I was really looking to be with dad so he could work his magic.
"Well dad, i was wondering if you could massage my back tonight for a little bit, it has been killing me all day!" I asked him from across the living room.
"Can't it wait till after the movie?" Asked mom, i could tell she was annoyed.
"Mom it's hurting like hell, i won't make through the movie comfortably." I replied.
"Please!"
"Its okay honey, I'll just do it for a little bit until he feels better." Replied dad assuring mom.
"Fine!" Replied mom in an even more annoyed tone. "you really need to start working out, playing video games with your friends doesn't help your problem!" She said as she moved onto the floor with my sister. She is oblivious as a mother sometimes.
"Mom leave him alone" said my sister as they got comfortable on the floor.
"Thank you mom." I said to her as I got onto the couch next to dad. "Here, i brought the cream you use." I told him as I got comfortable.
Finally they unpaused the movie and it was quite loud.
"I don't want you to miss the movie dad, how will we do this so you can enjoy it while you fix me?" I got closer to dad's ear so he could hear me.
My dad shifted around the couch until finally he got on his knees to make more room on the couch while still facing the television.
"Here, get in front of me." He told me.
I shifted around the couch until he was directly behind me, i crossed my legs and sat up straight facing the television as well.
Thankfully, mom and sister were laying in front of the couch where all the commotion didn't bother them. I took off my tank top and put it on my lap.
"So what's going on in the movie?" I asked completely confused with the movie's plot but in all truthfulness, i could care less.
"Well watch you twat!" Said my sister.
"Fine." I said under my breath.
"Don't worry I don't know what's going on either." said dad with a slight chuckle.
"Dad please do it harder this time, it really hurts." I told him going back to the subject of the massage. He started to pour massaging cream all over my back.
