Addressing issues

Molly & Paul get up the next day ready without much event or fanfare. He makes a quick breakfast for her and she flirts a bit with her. He pushes a few buttons to get her riled up but then sends her on her way to work with a swat of her ass. She smirks back at him over shoulder with an extra wriggle in her step as she moans, “yes, Sir” on the way out the door blowing a kiss at him.

Paul then gets to work, replies to a few clients, sets up the software and drivers in prep for the camera, and knocks out a few tasks for some jobs.

As he’s finishing up some demo video, he is reminded of the discussion with Bill yesterday and a recording from Molly, when he’s struck with the realization, he already has a recording from her being very expressive. Searching his archives, he finds the recording from over a decade ago he recorded of Molly and had her learn as a mantra of devotion.

It was a little racy, but it always did get him in the mood to hear her so it should probably work to understand how a woman talks. Copying it over to his phone, he found some workout buds, made sure it all worked, and then set it aside to put together some lunch.

As lunch finishes up, a package is left in the breezeway, so Paul retrieves and goes to set it up on his laptop and get things ready.

Noticing the time and realizing he’s still in ‘work’ clothes, he rushes to getting ready with a pair track shorts, top, and sandals; tying a knot in his top on his way back as he hears the Skype ring before seeing contact as he slides in the door.

He quickly scrambles into position tossing his knees apart, smiles up at the laptop, and replies with a pant “Hello, Trainer Bill.”

At this point, Bill can easily tell he’s barely ready and just rushing around. “Well, at least the camera is ready. Alright, lets get you through the positions. Show me the first.”

Paul quickly responds and goes through each position as Bill calls them out. Bill continues to make fine tuning adjustments trying to Paul in just the right angle, showing him how he should place his body. Bill is a little frustrated and not sure if it's just that he’s been practicing wrong & couldn’t see it before, if he’s just lazy today, or just needs some physical guidance.

Regardless, as it gets to the end of the stretching portion, Bill consoles him, “well, the video quality on this camera is indeed excellent and it's been illuminating some flaws that we’ve been able to identify.”

“Yes, Trainer Bill,” Paul says trying to ease his breathes from just holding positions.

“But there are clearly some more efforts that need to be made. I’m order a workout brace to help you with your posture and aid you in your alignment efforts. For now, get on the treadmill.”

“Thank you, Trainer Bill,” Paul responds as he gets on the treadmill.

Bill continues to critique and instruct as he tries to get a firm handle on what is still off about his gait. When he thinks Paul is close, he instructs him to keep it up for 15 minutes while he records it for deeper review as he has some things to take care of there.

Paul feels awkward walking in the silence, so he grabs his head phones to start listening to Molly’s recording in preparation for the vocals.

He focuses on her inflection and phrasing, but he keeps getting distracted by the cord. One minute its bouncing around his right elbow, the next it’s pulling on his left ear. He’ll have to see about getting some wireless ones for later.

As he’s flailing a bit with the cords, Bill comes back and frustratedly barks out, “alright, that’s enough for today.”

Startled, Paul quickly reaches for the treadmill stop and calls out, “Yes, Trainer Bill,” and turns to get in his sign off position for his trainer.

“Alright, we got some more things tomorrow, we’ll really have to focus on this gait. I really don’t need to see you distracted again; make sure you’re focused.”

Sensing his annoyance and glaring at the cheap earbud cords, Paul responds, “yes, Trainer Bill.”

“Anything else? I have a session I need to address.”

Paul thought of trying to explain, but bit back, “No, bye, Trainer Bill.”

“Later, Paulie,” Bill replied as he disconnected.

Paul hated being called ‘Paulie’, but got up & put things away before changing.

Paul calmed himself by geeky out looking for high quality, well performing wireless ear buds he could get delivered tomorrow. Satisfied with his geekery, he put together a light supper being just available as Molly came home from a tiring day.

After telling him all about her annoying day, they called it an early night and went to cuddle into bed.
