Since starting with Katie things have been so much better. I had a rough go there for a while but now my mother says that I\u2019m just glowing with confidence. She says, \u201cI can\u2019t wait to meet the woman behind such a positive change.\u201d I really do want to introduce her to Katie, but first she must promise to be kinder this time because we don\u2019t want a repeat of the 2009 Jackie situation. No one wants that.<\/p>\n
Since being with Katie the office guys think I\u2019m the shit. Now they invite me for drinks and say things like, \u201cYou better also bring that hot ass girlfriend of yours,\u201d and \u201cBro, when you\u2019re done with her, can I have a go?\u201d They slap their thighs and knees and laugh out loud after they say it, all teeth, like hyenas. But the jokes on them because they can\u2019t have Katie cause Katie is mine and I already regret showing them the few cherished pictures I have of her. She didn\u2019t want me to share them in the first place. But I guess what Katie doesn\u2019t know can\u2019t hurt her. The office guys can be so damn convincing.<\/p>\n
Katie thinks I need to be my best self, that\u2019s what she\u2019s about. She wants me to practice better routines, to have better strength throughout my day-to-day activities, if I\u2019m to reach my new goals. These are keys to success Katie says. That is how I\u2019ll find my center Katie says. That is how I\u2019ll reclaim the power I lost. People don\u2019t understand. I wasn\u2019t so good-looking or smart. But she saw the potential in me, like no one else did, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m hers for now. I\u2019d like to think maybe even forever. I love her for seeing in me what I couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Katie even got me doing one of those cleanses. We did it together. It was tough as hell, but as always, Katie was there for me. Reminding me of the bigger picture. Of the delayed gratification. That the reward is sweeter when you wait for it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I love to come home to Katie. I think about her the whole way. She\u2019s usually waiting, ready to be turned on and so eager to play. Katie knows how much power she has over me because she knows how much I love to watch.<\/p>\n
Sometimes I can\u2019t even stand to look at the people around Katie. They can\u2019t have what we have. It is special and sacred. The way Katie looks at me in the aftermath, when we\u2019re both sweaty and spent\u2014no one can truly understand that. No one else has that.<\/p>\n
I get as close to Katie as I can so that our eyes are locking. Hers are an ocean green. I want to thank Katie for everything that she\u2019s done for me. For making me a better coworker, a better man, and a better son.<\/p>\n
I whisper, \u201cThank you Katie.\u201d And she responds in that beautiful way she always does.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat job today guys! Way to show up and sweat it out! Don\u2019t forget to \u2018like\u2019 and hit subscribe!\u201d<\/p>\n
I close my eyes, pucker my lips and lean in. The way Katie likes it. I wait for her there to meet me halfway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
