    "What time is your massage today?", asked Leslie over Saturday morning breakfast.

"10:00, but I'm not sure if I'm going to go."

Leslie lifted her cup of coffee to take another sip and, without taking her eyes off of her book, said, "You should go."

I looked out the sunroom window and took another sip of my coffee. "Maybe."

Leslie put down her cup and looked at me to engage more directly. "How does your back feel?"

"A bit stiff."

"And your shoulders?"

"Same."

"So you'd benefit from the massage that you've already arranged?"

"Yeah."

"But you're hesitating because you know what's on offer."

"Yeah."

"You need to go, Chris. While you could reschedule, that's not fair to Scott. He's running a business and gets paid for his time. If you don't go, he doesn't get paid."

"You also need to go and deal with this. You can decide while you're there. I told you it's okay either way."

I nodded.

"Be polite and ask nicely", Leslie chuckled.

Sandi greeted me at the front desk of the studio. "Hey, Chris! Good to see you again! It's been a long time."

"Hi, Sandi. Yeah, it's been too long. Leslie finally bugged me enough."

"Room three on the right. Let me know if you need anything. Scott should be in in a few minutes."

I went to the room, undressed, and got situated on the table face down. It was a while before Scott came in, adding to my nervousness.

I wondered if Scott was stalling because ...
    ... he didn't want this, or if Leslie was sincere about the offer. My nervousness was reaching a crescendo when Scott walked in.

"Hey, Chris - good to see you. Sorry for making you wait. The last appointment ran a little long because they got here a bit late. But she's a good customer and I wanted to be sure she got her full session. Sorry again."

"That's okay, I was just getting relaxed. All good."

"Great. Anything I'm working on in particular today? Or, should I just go over everything and work on things as I feel it?"

"Well, my back and shoulders are a bit stiff, but nothing too bad, so I guess you should work on things you think need attention."

"Got it."

Scott started on my shoulders, working the deltoids, triceps, and upper back through the shoulder blades.

"I can feel tension pretty much everywhere. Good thing you came in so I can get the knots out."

Scott worked hard kneading the muscles in my back and I eventually started to relax under his skilled ministrations.

After ten minutes or so, Scott moved to my hamstrings, calves, and feet. After working that area for a bit, Scott asked me to turn over onto my back.

I hesitated but decided there wasn't much I could do about it, and turned over. The towel couldn't conceal my erection.

"Sorry about that."

"No worries. I've seen it before and will see it again. A massage sometimes has that effect."

I didn't initially speak as Scott began his work on my scalp and neck.

Scott continued, ...
