Buttons were quickly being pressed and joysticks were furiously clicking. "Oh c'mon ooooh oh I'm gonna beat you!" Shelby said with playful intensity.
Will smirked, heavily focused on the small 46" flatscreen as he leaned over towards his equally focused wife. "Not if I can help it!" The loud pressing of the buttons on his Xbox One controller sped up.
"What... are you afraid to lose your crown to a GIRL Mr. Professional Gamer?" Shelby jabbed not taking her eyes off of the screen even for a moment.
"Oh hardy har har! You're just as competitive as me!" Will commented playfully.
A sudden victorious sound echoed from the tv's speakers as one of the competitors fell.
"Damnit!!!" Shelby said in mock anger.
Will softly threw his controller down on the couch and stuck his hands up claiming victory.
"Oooh I am still the king! You gotta play better than that if you want the crown for yourself!" Will stated triumphantly.
"I'll beat you one of these days!" Shelby said tickling her husband.
Will returned the favor finding her secret ticklish spot on the inside of her soft thighs. "Oh yeah... if I only had one arm... even then, it'd be a challenge for you."
"Oh hoh is that right?!?" Shelby tackled him and pinned him down on the couch coming within inches of his face. She straddled him. Her long brunette hair danced across her lovers face and he had a nice view of her healthy C cup bust as it pressed into his chest. "Just you wait... I will get the better of you one of these days!" She said sexily.
"In your dreams babe." He winked.
Will smirked and raised his head up to kiss her. She met him the rest of the way kissing him softly then pulling away after a few seconds.
"To the victor go the spoils." She said as she pulled her shirt off and looked at him with a knowing glance.
Will knew what that look meant. Especially after being married to her for over three years.
Will struggled to overpower her due to her size and due to his lack of strength...
Shelby was by no means fat, but she had put on a decent bit of weight since they had gotten married. Part of it was due to her insane work schedule as a registered nurse, having to eat late and her lack of sleep at night. She was 5'6 and weighed a soft 167 pounds. This gave her a very healthy hourglass figure which Will absolutely loved. However, she still felt self conscious about herself and typically wore quite concealing clothes.
In all honesty neither one of them had ever been the type to enjoy sports or being active and it kind of showed...
Will was slightly above average in height, standing at 5'10" but was quite skinny weighing only 135 pounds. He worked as an IT guy at a law firm in the city. He liked the job well enough, but it didn't exactly pay well...
Will and Shelby were high school sweethearts. They had first met at their High School's homecoming dance.
***eight years ago***
Due to neither one being the most popular of their Junior class, they were taking up space at the tables placed out next to the dance floor. They were seated a few tables apart, both curious as to why they even wasted their time at functions like this...
They were both fairly attractive, but painfully socially awkward which is why they were in this situation in the first place.
But that is when their eyes met... They couldn't help but completely and fully stare at one another.
Will felt as if he was in autopilot raising from his chair with wobbly knees. He took the first step nearly tripping over the legs of the table that he had been seated at. He was shaking from nervous wonder as he began approaching the beautiful brunette. Hundreds, if not thousands of questions ran through his mind. "What would he say? What if he made a fool of himself?"
With as much bravery as he could muster, he swallowed his nervousness and stood in front of this beautiful girl.
"C-care to dance?" He clumsily trembled over his own words.
Shelby smirked, noticing that he was just as nervous as she was. She blushed slightly before replying with a simple but steady "No."
"Oh..." Will muttered defeated as he hung his head low. He was starting to turn around so he could leave the school and sulk in the darkness.
"B-but I wouldn't mind having someone to talk with..." Will heard as his back was turned.
It took him a few moments to process what she had just asked. He turned back around in undeniable shock. "Ummm what??"
"...W-would you care to sit and talk with me? My friends are here, but they all have dates... so here I am all by myself..."
Will felt his heart nearly become weightless but at the same time it felt as if it was going to explode. A smile formed on his face. "Ummm yeah... sure! My friends are here too but they all have dates as well..."
Shelby returned his feelings with a beautifully bright warm smile of her own. Her brown eyes seemed to sparkle as she looked up at him.
Will was immediately in love... but he tried to remain calm and collected.
"Is this seat taken?" Will asked motioning to the seat nearest to her.
Shelby smiled. "It is now..."
They sat and talked for the rest of the night. They found out that they actually had alot in common. They both shared an affinity for video games, movies, comic books and certain tv shows.
They had also learned that while they moved in completely different social circles, their friends also shared many similarities.
After that, due to their budding friendship, their two separate groups of friends slowly became one large group.
Due to their teenage awkwardness and cautious nature, Will and Shelby didn't immediately start going out. However, their friendship was strong and true. They started finding that they were spending nearly every day together whether it was during classes they had together, school lunch, after school, or even on weekends. They would even come up with excuses to hang out with each other. Whether it was to exchange video games, movies or just hang out together due to boredom.
Their group of friends even made a point to poke fun at their friendship whenever the two would flirt with each other. Often times saying to stop being so damn shy and to just make it official already.
After one spirited game of Mario Kart, they were playfully pushing and shoving each other. Shelby ended up falling on top of Will and had him pinned down. They looked into each others eyes for what felt like an eternity. Before long they shared their first kiss.
That was only the beginning of their love story...
***Back to the present***
Here they were 8 years later. They were both 26 and more in love than ever.
They both had one major issue that seemed to rear it's ugly head nearly every day...
Shelby still had Will pinned between her thick thighs. She looked down at him thoughtfully. Will could tell she had something on her mind and decided to ask her about it.
"What's on your mind baby?" Will asked her while caressing the side of her face. He had a feeling he knew what it was...
Her eyes began getting wattery. "I... I want to have children... but I don't know if I can..."
Will and Shelby have had this conversation many times over. They had been trying for nearly a year and had had no such luck.
"Well... we just have to keep trying hun... we have to keep our heads up..."
Shelby looked at him with a smile showing through her tearful eyes. "Always my rock... always the positive part of my life... now I know why I married you..."
She kissed him lovingly as she moved her underwear to one side and let him slide in.
Their session of love making was amazing and electric. She bent down towards his ear and whispered something in between thrusts. "Let's try to make a baby."
If one thing was for sure, their sex life was as healthy as anyone they knew. They had sex at least a couple times a day and couldn't keep their hands off of each other.
An hour later they laid in a sweaty embrace. Shelby was still focusing on the elephant in the room. She rolled onto her side to look at her husband. "Now I know you think it's possible for us to have kids without any help but if we still haven't had any luck in another couple of months, you have to promise me that we will get help okay?"
Will looked at her giving her his full focus and attention. He could tell that she wanted kids more than anything else in their life.
He paused for a few moments and smiled. "Okay, you have a deal my love."
They had already purchased a respectable house that they could call home. It did need a bit of work but they'd fix it up as they could afford it.
Now they just wanted to start a family so they could fill their home.
***Four months later***
They had still not had any luck conceiving a child so here they were sitting in their doctors office. This was their third visit. They had found that the both of them were to blame for the issues...
They were looking into doing in-vitro fertilization.
"I know it can be rather off putting once you see the price tag..." Dr. King apprehensively mentioned.
"Yeah... twenty thousand dollars?!? That's more than a little off putting..." Will said trying to mask his disappointment...
Shelby was trying to stay positive. "I'm sure there's a way for us to make it work... Just send us with the paperwork, let me talk with my husband and I'm sure we will be able to figure it out."
In all honesty, they were barely making ends meet as it was. Their furnace had gone out, they needed a new roof... Also between house payments, bills, car payments... everything... it was all too much...
The ride back from the doctor's office was a quiet one... But once they walked in through the front door of their home it all came pouring out.
"Baby... I don't know how we're going to be able to do it..." Will said starting to cry.
"Shhh... shhh It'll be okay hun. We will figure something out..."
"Yeah... yeah... maybe we can sell one of the cars..." he said frustrated at the whole situation.
Shelby let a warm smile creep across her face. "Well how about for tonight we head out to our favorite bar that we haven't been to in ages and do a bit of drinking and maybe play some pool? We haven't done that in awhile! Maybe it'll help us calm down and clear our heads..."
"Besides... who knows? If this in-vitro deal works, this may be the last time I get to drink..."
Will smiled as best as he could trying to sound positive. "That sounds like a great idea babe..."
"Great! Well let's get changed and we can be on our way!"
Will dressed in a long sleeved black dress shirt and jeans while Shelby dressed in a floral pattern flowing dress that went down to her ankles and finished her look with black flats.
Will looked at her choice of attire and tried to remain positive. Sometimes he wished she was more comfortable with her body so she'd show it off more...
They made their way out to "The Double Deuce." It was their favorite bar... and the best thing about it... it only took about twenty minutes to walk to.
They arrived and the bar was in full tilt. Will walked up to the counter and put an order in for the drinks while Shelby made a bee line for the restroom.
As Will was waiting for his drinks, an odd stranger wearing a black wide brimmed fedora hat with red stitching and black suit with red pocket square sat next to him.
Time stopped moving forward...
"So... going to drink your sorrows away tonight?" A smooth as silk, but deep voice asked.
Will smirked and looked straight ahead not paying attention to the random patron who was speaking to him. "You have no idea pal..." he replied flatly.
The mysterious man chuckled. "Well... what if I told you I could help you with your current predicament?"
It was Will's turn to chuckle. "What... help me get drunk? I think I can do that easily enough on my own..."
The strange man kept a straight face. "No Will... help you start a family... help with your financial issues...."
Will was taken aback. "Wait... how do you know my name Mr... umm...??"
"If it's all the same to you... I go by Winston... and I guess you could say I'm a warlock of sorts... a genie for the more light-hearted. I grant wishes to those who are down on their luck."
Will couldn't believe what he was hearing... "A genie?? A warlock?? What are you gonna do next? Pull a rabbit out of your hat?"
Winston was becoming slightly annoyed at Will's doubting of his powers. "To show a slight example of my powers... you wished that your wife dressed a bit more... let's say provocatively..."
Will couldn't believe what he was hearing... "How did you know?!?"
"I told you my dear Will... I have powers. As a show of good faith, I'll make your wish come true. Shelby will come out of that bathroom wearing something a bit more "showy". It'll seem completely normal to her... like she's always dressed that way. That she's always been a bit more comfortable in her own skin. If you like what you see, all you have to do is go into any bathroom and mention my name three times. I look forward to our future conversations my boy."
And with that he was gone...
Time sped back up and as if on cue, Shelby walked out of the restroom and towards the bar.
Shelby sounded happy as ever as she greeted him. "Hey baby. Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long..." Will looked back towards her and his jaw dropped...
