Spots

Eric pressed the Stop button. He was severely out of breath. He had been on the treadmill for over an hour now. A glance at the mirror showed him his fat body and he was determined to go for another hour. He concluded that he had not been exercising enough since he had yet to lose but a single pound after nearly two months of being a gym bunny.

However, as soon as he stood straight, he started seeing spots and felt a bit woozy. He carefully stepped off the machine and slowly wobbled to a nearby chair. He felt slightly better as soon as he sat down.

“Hey, are you okay?”

Eric looked around to find the source of the rich, deep, sexy and velvety voice. The guy was asking from a nearby machine while working his torso.

“Yeah, I’m okay. Just a little sore.”

The guy got up from his machine and went to Eric.

“You were working your body pretty hard,” he said, putting a hand on Eric’s shoulder. “If you’re not careful, you could really hurt yourself.”

Eric smiled and said his thanks. It was then when he got a pretty good look at the guy. He was very hot and sexy with a killer body and dazzling smile. Eric had gotten nervous now because the guy’s hand was still on his shoulder and he was beginning to sport major wood.

“I can spot you.”

“Excuse me?” Eric asked, very surprised and embarrassed.

“You know, during the workout,” the guy explained. “We can spot each other.”

“Oh,” Eric breathed with a sigh of relief. “Okay.”

“Great,” the guy exclaimed, extending his arm. “My name is Barry.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Eric.”

After that evening, Barry and Eric began working out together. They even arranged their schedules so that they could meet almost everyday at the gym. After about a month or so, Barry invited Eric for dinner at his favorite diner. Eric loved the food there so much that he agreed to have dinner there again with Barry. Although Eric would gladly eat any garbage thrown his way just to spend time with Barry.

“Hey, pass me the sugar.”

Eric passed Barry the sugar in between bites of his Swiss Mushroom burger.

“Take it easy, E,” Barry cautioned. “There’s more where that came from.”

“I can’t help it,” Eric admitted. “I get so hungry after our workout. I guess that is why I haven’t been losing weight.”

“Why do you need to lose weight?”

Barry had asked a very sensitive question. Eric had never been comfortable with his huge body and had tried everything to get rid of the extra flabbiness. He explained it all to Barry, who was listening very attentively.

“Listen, are you healthy?” Barry asked, matter-of-factly.

“Yes I am.”

“Are you sure?”

“I do a medical check-up every month,” Eric answered. “I am healthy as a fat horse.”

“Then why do you need to lose weight?”

Eric hesitated. He wanted to tell Barry everything but he was not sure whether Barry would understand. He decided to give it a shot.

“Because I am a fat ugly man.”

Barry banged the table and stunned the snot out of Eric.

“Don’t you ever say that, you hear?” Eric said, barely containing his anger. “You are not fat nor ugly.”

“Then what am I?”

“You’re a very gorgeous man, who happens to be a little overweight.”

Eric melted right there and then. He wished that Barry would love him as well but he knew that it could never happen.

“Thanks, Barry. That means a lot.”

“No problem.”

He flashed his dazzling smile again and Eric’s heart melted again.

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

Barry looked surprised when Eric asked that question. They were in the locker room, getting ready to shower.

“I don’t,” Barry answered, taking off his workout clothes. “You?”

Eric had to turn away because the man of his dreams was getting naked and he was beginning to pop a woody again.

“No. Who would want me?” Eric answered, again letting his inferiority complex run rampant.
Barry moved, quick as lightning, to Eric’s side and properly shushed Eric by putting a hand over Eric’s mouth.

“I told you before not to say that,” Barry breathed in Eric’s ear before letting his hand off of Eric’s mouth.

Eric was so turned on. It barely registered that a hot man was sitting next to him naked. He tried to adjust his legs so that his stiff penis would not show through his shorts. He fidgeted a bit and then he felt it. Barry’s warmth on the side his thigh. He turned and faced Barry, whose face was only inches away from Eric’s. Barry flashed that dazzling smile of his and melted Eric’s brain. The horny meter in Eric’s mind was going off the scales. However, Eric still manages to utter, “Do you want me?”

Barry responded by kissing Eric, full on the lips. Eric was too shocked to reciprocate the kiss but as soon as Barry put his arms on the sides of his face, Eric shook out of his stupor and began kissing Barry back passionately. Barry broke off the kiss and said, “I do.”

Barry got up and grabbed his towel, motioning that he was gonna shower. Eric just nodded breathlessly. He still had trouble comprehending what had just occurred. It might just be a dream. A wonderful wet dream but a dream nonetheless. However, just before Barry left for the shower, he bent down and gave Eric another deep kiss. That was how Eric realized that it was not a dream.

“I love you, E, just the way you are. You don’t have to change anything,” Barry said.

Eric was left there, sitting alone, smiling.
