My Wives Are Too Overpowered-Chapter 7 Samuel
Getting spanked so suddenly and for the first time in his life by someone, Alex couldn't help but say, "wifey… I don't think you're supposed to hold my butt like that. It's supposed to be the other way round."
Melissa giggled hearing that. Instead of letting go, she squeezed Alex's butt even harder. "I am your wife, I am allowed to touch you wherever I like. Do you know how long I waited to feel these firm and muscular things?"
Alex had an awkward smile on his face. On one hand his wife was right, she was allowed to do whatever she liked with him, but on the other hand, he was wondering if stuff like this actually happens between married couples or was it just him and Melissa?
Shaking his head and trying to ignore Melissa's hands on his butt, Alex looked at her and said, "honey, I have to go to the bank, they'll close in two hours so I better hurry up."
Melissa nodded. "Alright. I'll be at home, waiting for you."
Alex nodded as well. "See you later then."
"Yes, see you." Melissa said with a smile.
"…"
"…"
"Umm… can you take your hands off my butt now?" Alex asked after a moment of silence.
Melissa smirked. "I was wondering when you'd ask this. And yes, I will, but only when you give me a kiss."
'Marriage is weird…' Alex thought, but still complied with Melissa's request and kissed her soft lips.
Just lip to lip touch wasn't enough for Melissa, she hugged Alex tighter and pushed her tongue into his mouth, starting a tongue battle with his.
Alex wasn't fazed by this anymore and reciprocated the feeling.
A minute later, Melissa broke the kiss and fixed Alex's appearance.
"Okay, you're good to go. Come back quick, we'll have a movie night."
Alex nodded. He kissed Melissa's forehead and left for the bank.
He walked his way there as the bank wasn't far from his home.
While on his way, Alex saw all the houses on the streets, the people, the shops… everything gave him a good amount of nostalgia as he had moved out of Austin and been in New York for almost a decade.
New York wasn't bad per se, but the city was too busy and chaotic, unlike here where he found it calm and quiet.
It took Alex twenty minutes of walking to reach the bank and once he was there, he had to wait a bit and finally got himself an account opened solely for stocks and trading.
Since he was a med student in an Ivy League university, things were pretty easy and the bank staff was helpful as well.
Those guys told Alex that he could start trading and investing in two days time and thanking them, Alex left the bank.
Instead of going home from there, Alex took a detour and went to a basketball court a few blocks down the lane.
It was 4 pm and as Alex had expected, there were people playing in the court at this time of the day.
Alex sat on the steps near the court and watched the people who were playing.
There were a mix of 16-24 year olds playing and the ones who stood out the most were mostly the tall people.
However… There was one exception.
"PASS THE BALL, DAMN IT!" A short five-foot-four Mexican guy yelled at his teammates. "DON'T LOOK AT MY SIZE, I CAN STILL DUNK HARD!"
Despite yelling so hard, he wasn't heard as there were others yelling for a pass as well.
Watching this guy get crushed between the tall people was fun and made Alex smile.
Fifteen minutes later when the game ended, the short guy kicked the ground and cursed.
"Hey, Samuel!" Alex yelled at the short guy, trying to grab his attention.
The short guy, Samuel, was in a pretty bad mood to punch anyone who annoyed him right now. But right at this time he heard someone shout his name and cursed, "SON OF A BITCH! WHO—"
Samuel lost all words once he saw a black-haired, blue-eyed dude at the bench stare and wave at him with a stupid smile on his face.
Not knowing if it was real or he was just imagining things, Samuel rubbed his eyes and looked at the guy once again.
There he was… still smiling and waving at him.
Samuel couldn't help but walk closer to him and ask in a confused tone, "Alex?"
Alex got up and started walking towards Samuel. Smiling, he answered. "It's me."
"ALEX!" As realization dawned upon Samuel, he started running towards Alex.
"ALEXXXXXXX!" Samuel jumped on Alex and attached himself to him like a koala. "YOU FUCKERRR, YOU'RE ALIVEEEEEE!"
Samuel hit Alex's back with his fist as his eyes turned moist in joy.
"There, there, buddy." Alex smiled and patted Samuel's back. He knew what this dude was feeling.
Sharing a hug and having reunited, both Alex and Samuel felt happy to see each other again.
Instead of going into where they were, what they were doing, and talking about their past, these two joked together and started walking towards the nearest grocery store to grab a can of pop.
Coming out of the store and standing under a tree, Samuel put on a big smile and said, "you fucker, do you know how sad I was to know you shifted to New York? Why would you go to such an expensive dumpster rather than being here and enjoying life?"
Samuel was Alex's childhood friend. They had been together since grade one and knew each other well.
Alex smiled and shaking his head, said, "I have my uni there. It's the best I could get with the scholarship."
Samuel shook his head and sighed. "Man it's been what, four or six something years since I last saw you. I didn't expect you'd remember this court and come see me."
Alex smiled. "How would I not? This is the only place I can see you fuck yourself up."
Samuel excelled in everything he took part in. He was an all-rounder, but people still underestimated him because of his short stature.
This thing was the most evident in basketball. He played well and could dunk and do some great passes, but people didn't believe it as he was too short.
Samuel clicked his tongue in response. "If only those perros passed me the damn ball, I would've shown them who I am."
"It's alright, bud." Alex patted his shoulder. "Anyway, I've got business with you. Are you free now?"
"Free, eh?" Samuel thumped his chest. "Baby, I am always there for you."
"Thanks, mate." Alex thumped his chest as well and matched Samuel's energy.
Alex began explaining a few things to Samuel and the two sat under the tree and had the discussion going.
"So Sam, first tell me when are you finishing college?" Alex asked.
"I am almost done. I am from the winter semester batch so I should get my degree in December, I think." Samuel said, smiling.
"Sweet. Four more months to go then." Alex smiled as well and said. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Samuel nodded. "When are you finishing?"
"I just started with med school, it's gonna take quite some time."
Samuel sighed. "Amigo, why take medicine? It's so long. I left it for that reason and went into finance. Look at me now, free from all academics in a few weeks."
Part of the reason why Alex met Samuel was this. He was good with finances and Alex needed him for that.
"Good for you, my guy. Anyway, the business I was actually talking to you about… will you work with me?" Alex went straight to the main topic.
Samuel was confused. "Work? We both are from different fields. You're in medicine, I'm in finance, how can we work together?"
Alex shook his head and elaborated, "it's nothing related to medicine. It's a different thing altogether. We'll start a business in a different field altogether and make money off it. Don't worry, you'll do just fine in it. I'll fund everything, you just manage. What do you say?"
Samuel got to thinking, hearing that. Alex wanted to have a startup and was going to fund everything… Samuel didn't doubt the money Alex would put in, but he doubted the growth of the startup.
A startup wasn't easy no matter which one it was. There were many difficulties in them.
In the college Samuel was, he would get great job opportunities in just a few days. Corporates would be lining up in his campus, recruiting freshers. Samuel was sure to land a high paying job but with Alex suddenly coming into the equation…
Samuel would need to take a risk. He would have to risk the high paying jobs he was getting now and in future if the startup failed, it would be even more difficult to land a job.
Samuel sighed thinking about it. "Amigo… you put me in a tough spot right after meeting me. I come from a poor immigrant family, you know? Shit is damn tough."
Alex knew about it. He patted Samuel's shoulder and said, "I can understand, buddy. I won't force you for anything, it's all your choice. We'll stay friends regardless of your decision."
Samuel nodded. "Give me two minutes to answer you."
Alex did a thumbs up and focused on drinking the pop.
Samuel closed his eyes and lay down on the grass. He thought things for a bit and getting up, took his phone out and dialed a number.
Once the call got connected, Samuel immediately asked in Spanish, "Ayy mama, ?me seguirás amando si fallé en la vida?"
Alex didn't understand Spanish and had no idea what Samuel was talking about.
But right after Samuel said that, his mother started yelling at him from the other side. It was loud enough for Alex to hear.
Soon, Samuel started laughing and said, "baahahahaha! Thanks, mama. I needed that. Okay, bye."
Samuel cut the call shortly afterwards.
He then looked at Alex and smiling, said, "the startup can fail. We can have heavy financial losses. The risk is very high. But… I trust you. You can't do big things without taking big risks."
Alex nodded. "So, your answer is…"
Samuel got close to Alex and hitting his back, said with a cheerful smile, "let's go get that bag, babbyyy. I am all in."
Alex smiled happily hearing that. He high-fived Samuel and said, "I am so happy you're in, man."
Samuel winked. "You're my buddy, if I am not there for you, who else will, right?"
"Right." Alex chuckled.
"Okay, let's get down to business now. Here's the plan…"
