Ever since Chris and his wife got that deal to work from home, their lives have been so much easier. Chris was a 6’ 2” coffee addict that somehow managed to stay under 170 lbs. He had to leave his house at 6am just so that he could be in the office by 7am and pour at least three cups of coffee into his system just so that he could function in the morning. Grabbing two more after lunch, he would stay on the run until 5pm, where he could fight traffic to be home at 7pm, where his lovely wife Monique was waiting for him with dinner. Her life wasn’t much easier.
Monique was the shortest of her family at 5’ 5”, but that didn’t stop her from being the smartest, strongest, and somehow laziest me ever if her family. Chris managed to get on good graces with her family, but Monique was very defensive of her man. Her type managed to end up being a manager at a local retail store. Despite her stature and job, she manages to stay under 120 lbs, even through stressful moments. The two were in need of a vacation. So the opportunity to work from home seemed to be miraculous. Neither one of them hesitated to leave everything behind and finally get a chance to take things easy.
Now that they are situated…
Chris wakes up first, his body conditioned to being up early. He picked up morning workouts for the first few weeks where he needed to be on camera, trying to make a good impressions with his coworkers and boss. He was one of the only ones on camera, so he quickly dropped that habit. He started to wonder whether he needed to try so hard when most of his life he’d been working or with his wife. He thought about taking things easy this week, just letting himself go, and letting his wife do the same. They weren’t trying to impress anyone, all their friends thought they were too stuck up to hang out, and all the neighbors and store clerks barely converted with them. Not to mention, they’ve been pretty stagnant with sex lately, them being too tired or just not feeling up to it. Chris was ready to dive in to a lazier lifestyle.
Monique had already started, unbeknownst to her hubby. From slipping some chocolate with every meal to faking illness to get out of a workout, she had already started a path to laziness. Though her body couldn’t tell, she already had in mind what she wanted to do. The only thing keeping her from truly letting loose was her hubby, who was doing his best to stay fit and healthy. Her heart skipped a beat when he broke the news to her over dinner.
“Honey, I’m tired of trying so hard. Who cares whether we are in the best shape of our lives if there’s no one to enjoy it with? Are you ok with being a little round and chubby babe?” Monique just kissed him as a response, the silence and stare making the hairs of their neck bristle up. They weren’t sure if they were comfortable being total slobs, but they were ok with just letting go for now. How should they begin?
