A continuation of the first chapter... Obviously everyone is over 18 and thankfully, STDs were stamped out...

The day hadn't officially begun for me, but my phone was ringing incessantly. My brain fuzzily went through the motion of booting up, checking it's memory and available space before turning on the cameras which were my eyes.
I clumsily reached for the phone, not even daring to look at the glare which the screen was giving to see who it was.
"Hello", I croaked.
"Hi. Is that you George?" came a voice which I did not immediately recognize.
"Yep. All of me. Who is it please?"
"It's me, Mel... Melanie, we met at the principal's office, and, uh... later on at the locker room."
I smiled to myself. Well well... I decided to play dumb.
"Oh, hi Mel. Yeah, apologies, I'm not much of a morning person."
"Listen," she said, "I just want to thank you for yesterday."
"Oh, that's cool. No problem. You needed the massage. Your back was in an awful shape."
"I know. But also the extra bit made it even more awesome. I didn't get to pay you back."
Again, a smile crept to my lips.
"Think nothing of it." I told her. "It's a sort of specialty of mine. No charge."
We laughed, the ice breaking very rapidly.
"Well, I needed it. I've rarely felt so... fulfilled, for want of a better word."
"Seems like it. You zonked out immediately after your... uh... fulfilment!"
Another laugh.
"My god that was intense. To be honest, I didn't expect it to end the way it did, but I'm glad it did. I slept like a baby last night as well!"
"You slept like a baby immediately" I replied.
"Jesus how embarrassing." Melanie said.
I smiled again, replying that it would have been most upsetting to me if she hadn't. That was the whole point of the massage and happy ending, at least for most of the people I did my work on.
"I can't imagine what the team will make of you. Our previous masseuse was very short and to the point."
"I'll see how to manage the foot traffic then won't I? I answered.
"Listen, the team has a game today, around five. It's at the nearby university, Rutlidge, a few miles away. Why don't I pick you up, say around noon? We'll make a day out of it. Have time to talk about the team.
Perhaps we can set up a plan, training, formations, and such. We're already qualified for the state finals, so we can afford some changing and chopping to test strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps introduce new blood to the team."
It wasn't a problem for me, and the dean had hinted in no uncertain terms that with his time closing in, he would like to go out on a high. Ot more accurately, with a trophy win.
"I have no other appointments today, so yeah, that sounds good to me."
"Great, pick you up at noon alright?" she asked.
I looked at my watch, noting there were nearly three hours to spare.
"Sure. How are we getting there?" I asked.
"We can get the school team bus.." she said.
I replied that I had a better idea. I offered my motorbike and that I would pick her up at noon if she sent me her address.
Melanie called the captain that she would be having her usual pep talk in the dressing rooms about ninety minutes before the match. There was already a festive air around the squad. Following the defeat of their close rivals the night before, it was now a certainty that state finals were centered and the match was nothing but a formality to go through.
The coach advised the gang that our newest physical trainer and masseur was a guy.
"What's the big deal?" answered Williams.
"Well, I know that in the dressing rooms most of you only dress at the last moment and I want you to advise the players. If they are okay with being in the buff then it's ok by me and George. Just a heads up, that's all." said Mel.
"OK coach. I'll tell the girls. But none of us really care much. We've had male coaches and physios. And none of us are under eighteen either. Thanks though."
Mel hung up and we left the college campus to drive the sixty odd miles to Rutlidge. It was a beautifully cool day. A bit of high clouds which were perhaps the portent of some rain later on, but for the moment it was just us and the open road. I loved the old Harley, bequeathed to me by my father, and I had racked up an impressive mileage on it.
I parked in one of the many carparks, opting for the ground level close to the guardroom. It seemed he was a bike fan too, owning a similar, but older machine. He punched our ticket as a way of appreciation. There are still good people around.
Melanie and I enjoyed the early afternoon just walking around town. She became quite 'chummy' and 'clingy', although I must say that at no time did it bother me. It was rather the contrary.
We window shopped, knowing that I couldn't even hope of carrying something on the old bike. Eventually we stopped by the Sports Center and spent far more time than necessary admiring equipment we could use for the team. Mel asked for assistance and we were assured by a most obliging sales rep that we could order on invoice as long as we had an officially recognized tax number. They could also offer delivery if required.
Mel took to her phone again and the dean approved any purchase of up to five grand as long as proper invoicing was involved. We took our time and eventually settled for a couple of massage beds, UV lamps, ice-bags and light ankle weights. The beds were the most expensive by far and we overran our budget by a hundred dollars. A paltry sum we had no trouble in believing would be approved. A quick phone call by the sales rep to the college confirmed our order and we signed for the goods.
From then on it was a quick step to the Food Court, where we indulged ourselves in a good meal and a beer. The hours had sped by without my even noticing them, and we strolled towards the stadium, Melanie insisting on holding my hand. No sweat though. I didn't mind. It was quite comfortable really. Strange.
Approaching the small stadium, we presented our passes and made our way into the visitors dressing room. Mel knocked on the door, making our presence known. She could have dropped a bomb for all the good it did. The girls acknowledged our presence with a 'hi' and a wave, but barely flinched from their various state of undress. A few of the girls were still in street clothes, but the greater majority were either totally nude, or close to it as much as possible.
To a man, this would seem like a slice of heaven. I was a man, and it was. The lack of inhibitions and shyness astounded me. I expected it from the guys in the football team, but not from women, and with such lack of discretion.
I smiled goofily at this show of flesh. Although I half expected it, I was totally taken back by how much the players were lacking up top. It was only natural, but some of these girls could go topless on a beach, gather their hair under a hat, and nobody would be any wiser that they weren't men.
They weren't what you would call totally flat, but the larger number were incredibly close to having nothing. This would be attributable to the amount of running, and breast tissue was just fat. Another good amount of the players were simply totally nude and it did not faze anyone a bit.
I tried to take in the players surnames as Mel introduced me to the eighteen players, but in reality, they all whizzed over my head except for the leader of the team. Williams came forward and shook my hand, wearing only her socks.
A quick hug, sporting style, and I was soon sporting a heavy one. Quite unavoidable really. Fuck that was hot.
"Can we talk to you for a moment?" I asked Williams.
"Sure. Let's head to the coach's room."
As we followed her naked form to the tiny room meant for one-to-one talks, it amazed me that she had not bothered to wear at least even a shirt and I think she noticed me looking at her rather shyly.
"What?" she inquired.
"Well, I've handled many a physio session in men's locker rooms. And to be fair I didn't expect you to be all so nonchalant about nudity." I replied.
"Doesn't bother us none at all."
"Ok then. I'm cool with it as well."
"So, fire away..." she said.
"This is the last match of the season. We're through to the state finals commencing in two weeks. Coach Mel will agree with me that we need a full strength squad for the matches. Do you get my drift?"
"Totally."
"I want to lead the warming up session with one gentle warning. I do NOT want injuries today. I want the squad to lay off the heavy tackling. This is one match I do not have any interest at all in the final result.
