Meanwhile back at the Gibson home, everyone had finished their meal. Jon had just finished loading the dishwasher and returned to the table. Laura glanced over at Simon and nodded.
“Ok guys,” he said standing up, “who’s ready for a tour of our new rec-room?” He beamed. Everyone made an excited noise and got to their feet. Simon lead them downstairs to the refurbished basement. Jon found himself very impressed with the set up, there was a large tv with a couch, coffee table and beanbag chairs. A surround sound system around the rooms. Simon had also acquired a second hand pool table and he’d even moved his and Laura’s dumbbell rack down their for when they did their home work-outs together. He also sectioned a corner of the room off for a small shower. Finally along the far wall was a set of tall cupboards for storage.
“The room looks so big!” Jon gasped, surprised at how much Simon had managed to do.
“Thanks Jon, I’ve got extra cables into the tv so you guys could bring your consoles down here if you wanted, and it also connects to any of our phones and tablets. All the furniture can be moved easily to make more room” his dad said with pride.
“It’s amazing Si” Laura beamed.
“Yeah it’s brilliant!” Karyn gasped, and Zoe nodded in agreement.
“Yeah, whatever” Mikey grumbled, folding his arms. Simon ignored this and clapped his hands together and looked around at everyone.
“So, who’s ready to try the tub!” He grinned. Karyn’s eyes widened with excitement.
“Me!” She squeaked.
“Yeah I’d be up for that” Zoe smiled, and Mikey shrugged noncommittaly.
“Go get changed and we’ll hop in then!” Simon replied excitedly. The three of them hurried back up the stairs. Laura looked slightly crestfallen as Simon moved to follow them.
“Simon, I though we were going to work out first and let the kids have the first go?” She said, sounding a little disappointed.
“Oh…yeah” he stammered, glancing back up the stairs, “I just…”
“I’ll work out with you mom” Jon smiled. Laura looked over at him.
“Are you sure Jon?”
“Yeah, Ive been meaning to start getting in shape” he replied, “this way Simon can have a go in the tub, and you won’t be working out alone” he added. Laura thought for a moment then nodded.
“Ok, go on then sweetie, get changed and have fun” she said to her husband. Simon beamed at her
“Yay, thank you guys!” He giggled as he almost ran upstairs.
“Ok, I guess I need to borrow some work-out clothes” Jon said turning to his mother.
“I think he put all our gear in one of the cupboards there” Laura said, “we can get changed down here, and shower afterwards” she added nodding toward the shower in the corner of the room.
“You mean, get changed together?” Jon asked hesitantly. Laura shrugged.
“Why not, you’ve seen me a few times already now, and I mean, you haven’t got anything I’ve not seen already” she replied. Jon thought for a moment, then nodded.
“Yeah, I guess that true.” He replied.
“Great!” Laura smiled as she opened one of the cupboard and pulled a set of workout clothes. She tossed Jon a pair of white yoga pants and began to remover her trousers. Jon watched, and found himself staring at the bulge in her boxers as she pulled on a pair of grey shorts. She removed her blouse and pulled on one her own vest tops, before tying her hair back in a pony tail. She removed her wedding ring and set it to one side so it wouldn’t get caught on the weights when she used them.
“You get changed babe, and I’ll set the tv up” she said as she grabbed her phone and started connecting it to the tv. Jon removed his shoes and jeans, and deftly pulled the yoga pants up his rounder legs. Once they were on he felt the snugness on his legs, and for a second didn’t even realise he had a slight camel-toe issue before he readjusted himself, unknowingly watched by Laura who was just about ready to start.
“Right, we’re ready to go!” Laura called from the tv, which now showed the start of an online workout video. Jon took a deep breath and smiled.
“Let’s do this!” He smiled.
