Twenty-Eight

“This is Nick. I won’t be able to do any more workout sessions because I’m getting out of the personal training business. I’ll be happy to refer you to any of my colleagues, and I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.” Nick left a message with a client, an investment banker, and checked her off the list.

He punched in the number to the next one, a proctologist, and got her voice mail. “Hey, it’s Nick. I’m not going to be able to schedule any more workout sessions. If you’d like a referral …”

And so it went. He could have sent a bulk email, but that felt so impersonal. Better to remind the women how good he’d made them feel working out and sweating. If anyone picked up the phone, he could chat a little, massage her ego, and then refer her to a half a dozen friends eager to go after his gold clientele.

His student loans were halfway paid, and he was cutting off his income. But there was no way he could look Carol in the face and tell her he loved her when he was basically a male hooker hiding behind personal training and fitness coach.

As for the Bad Boys gig, it was far too easy for a client to claim he’d gone further than simple escort service or fake date. No self-respecting girlfriend would put up with it, and truth to tell, he was no longer interested in even giving the appearance of having had sex with his clients.

He called one after another, leaving voicemails and occasionally a short conversation. Most let it go easily. A few tried to say that they could still date or hook up sometime, but he politely declined.

He saved Brianna for last.

Just as he was about to call Brianna, his cell phone chimed with an incoming text message. It was Carol.

Hey, sorry I missed you. The girls and I are downtown. Are we still getting a tree this evening?

Darn sure we are, he texted back. Call me when you’re ready. Hope you’re having a great time.

I am. It’s good going out with my friends.

I miss you, Nick texted. Can’t wait to get the perfect tree.

Same here. How’s Heather doing?

She’s resting. Sam’s putting in a shower seat for her and renting a wheelchair for her to get around.

Let me know if she needs any tips on using the chair. I can’t wait to meet her. We can go out for a walk together, or should I say, a roll?

Nick grinned, picturing Heather and Carol making friends. They would get along great.

Rock and roll, he texted. See you this evening.

He wanted to type “love you,” but that would be too freaky. He’d never felt all gooey and icky about anyone before. Was he turning into a good guy like Sam?

After exiting his messaging app, Nick took a drink of ice water and several deep breaths. Lying to Brianna about the sexually transmitted disease had backfired. She was now a mess, and if she found out he had lied, she could sue him for emotional distress.
