Cool, Quiet Winter, A Forced "Decision", And, Hardened Naomi, In More Ways Than One
The Good Guys spent a quiet winter following their latest championship. There were banquets, appearances, relaxation, and just plain rejoicing, and fun. It should have been a wonderful time. Yet, for Mitch, it would turn into a time of difficulty, and resentment.
Despite the good fortune on the field, Naomi had made it perfectly clear that she intended to return to the Good Guys, and to play baseball for just as long as she wished, with her friends, regardless of Mitch's feelings. So, without even talking to Mitch about it, when the team called in December to discuss new contracts for the following year, Naomi dragged him to the team offices, sat him down, and said:" You will sign that contract, or else" The contract was in fact, a generous one, raising Mitch's salary to 1.5 million from 1 milion, and Naomi's to $750,000 from $500, 000. Mitch didnt appreciate being pressured into signing, but, he wasn't sure he wanted to leave either, so, he did as Naomi asked, and signed the contract.
A worse problem for Mitch was how Naomi kept her body. Usually, during the winter, she made herself up to be beautiful, when she knew she wasnt going to be playing baseball, and went for pedicures, to soften her soles, and make them more ticklish, for Mitch to play with. That winter, Naomi walked around looking very plain much of the time, without makeup, and although her soles had been hardened from the wear and tear of playing baseball, when Mitch asked her to go for a pedicure to make her feet look pretty for him, she refused. "I dont feel like it. My soles are my soles. If you dont like them, or they are too hard, dont be so fucking focused on them then" Naomi said sharply. Clearly, Naomi was taking a hard and dominant, and almost cruel, attitude, one Mitch didnt like at all. For the first time in his life, his wife was undesirable, and not attractive to him, even though she was one of the most beautiful women in the world. Mitch didnt understand why Naomi was being so hard boiled, especially since he had given her way, and not pushed her into retirement. He couldnt help but feel that maybe she was retaliating, for all the face down and cruel tickling he had subjected her to during the previous season. They were going for counesling, but it was almost an effort in vain, and their sex life was almost robotic. They would do it, but they were only going through the motions. Naomi kept saying how she wasnt going to give Mitch a "free pass", as she used to, and how he was going to have to "earn" her love. Mitch became so enraged with Naomi, that he began having forbidden fantasies about her that he had never had before, about her being dominated by a cruel tickling bandit, and of being tickle raped, to get rid of her attitude. At one point, he asked Naomi if she still loved him, and she said "Yes, but it doesnt mean Iam your slave. From now on, things are going to change around here. No more little ticklish I'm going to do everything for you, submissive Naomi. I want what I want, and if you cant give it to me, we have a real problem then" Naomi said.
With all this trouble hanging over their marriage, Mitch was lethargic in spring training. The season opened on a cool, but sunny, day in Paradise, with temperatures in the low 70's. After the championship flag was raised, the Good Guys got to work. Kate Hudson was the starter, but things did not go well. It was a windy day, and Kate had control problems, walking six. She ended up giving up five runs to the Mets, whose pitcher, Pedro Martinez, shut the Good Guys down, as the Mets took a 5-1 decision. The mood in the clubhouse was somber, as it was not the way the champions wanted to start the season. Things were better when they returned to the park the next day. Gil Bellows was the starter, and he pitched very well, allowing but one run in seven innings, and leaving in a 1-1 tie. The Good Guys got baserunners in the ninth, and finally pushed the winning run across, in a 2-1 win. Charlize Theron took the mound on Wednesday afternoon, the team's third straight day game. She gave a "quality start", allowing only three runs in six innings, but the team scored absolutely none, as they fell, 3-0, for their second loss in the three game series.
Thursday was an off day. After a light workout with the team in the morning, Mitch and Naomi were relaxing at home. At one point, she was in the kitchen, just doing household chores. Mitch caught her reaching up for something, standing on her toes, and trying to get something from the closet. When she was on better balance, he came up behind her, and put his arms around her waist, trying to be loving, and play with her. Naomi was having none of it, she tried to slither away, and said:" Stop it, dont mess with me, that tickles" She said, very sharply. Mitch was enraged. "Excuse me? Dont "mess" with you? You are my wife, goddamnit! Have been for 23 years last I checked! I am supposed to "mess" with you! If not you, then who the fuck else am I supposed to "mess" with, Naomi, huh, tell me!?" Mitch ranted. "Mitch, I'm sorry, I.." Naomi began. "No! Shut up and just listen! You have been a total bitch to me for months. I dont know what the hell has gotten into you! I would have been content to have been retired, and living in peace with you somewhere, but no, you wanted to come back to baseball, so, I did , for you, because that is what you do for people you love. I love you, Naomi. I always have, and I always will. You are supposed to do things for people you love, just like you gave up your acting career for me. I dont resent being here, or doing that for you, and I will never, and would never, throw that in your face. I do, however, resent your cold and bitchy attitude to me, for no reason. I dont know what has gotten into you. We arent fighting, but you are just this block of ice. You are cold, uncommuncative, and you tell me not to "mess" with you? You know where we would normally be right now with the kids not home? In bed, with me fucking your brains out, and you moaning about how good we are. Are we there? No! we are in our kitchen, fighting, with me being told by my wife, not to mess with her! Something is clearly wrong here, and it isnt me" Mitch said. Naomi tried to speak,but Mitch continued ranting. "Go get a makeover, goddamnit, and go get those ugly feet of yours a pedicure, you look like shit! You're not my wife anymore, you just look like you've taken this Plain Jane, I dont give a fuck attitude toward me, your husband, and you know what, I dont appreciate it!" Mitch ranted. "Mitch, you are overreacting. If I am being cold,and you want sex, and to tickle me, then okay, we'll have sex, and you can tickle me, but you know I dont get pedicures during the season, no reason to, with playing ball" Naomi said, trying to defend herself. "You havent had a pedicure in over a year that I can recall. You dont want to paint your toenails, fine,but at least go get your soles worked on, and get your hair done, you look like someone who came out of a war zone" Mitch said.
With things between Mitch and Naomi very tense, the Good Guys faced Atlanta on Friday night. Neve Campbell had her first start of the season, and she pitched very well, allowing but three runs in six innings, a quality start. The Good Guys scored five runs, and came away with a 5-3 win. On Saturday morning, Naomi rose early, and went to the salon. She had her hair done, and did have a pedicure, having the callouses, and rough spots, removed from her soles, having the pedicurist put a clear polish on her toenails, that would not rub off through her baseball socks. When she came home that afternoon, she looked like... Naomi. Mitch had a smile:" Now my wife looks like my wife. Look at how beautiful that is" He praised. Naomi took off her shoes, and showed Mitch her bare soles and toes. "See, I had them done, no color polish, but you know I dont do that during the season. The soles are very soft now, and I'll probably go crazy if you tickle my feet tonight" She said. "Well then, after the game, I'll just have to take you up on that" Mitch said, kissing her. That night, the team played Atlanta again, and Rachel Leigh Cook started. She pitched well, allowing only three runs in seven innings, but, the Good Guys scored only two, and fell, 3-2. That night, when the couple got home, Naomi realized how hard assed she had been to Mitch in recent days, and decided she had better tone it down. They got into bed, and made passionate love, as Mitch tickled Naomi, worshipped her feet, gave her several orgasms, fondled her breasts, and had intercouse with her. After they were finished, Mitch said to Naomi. "Turn over on your belly" Naomi tried to protest:" Please, honey, I did as you asked, we had sex, I got the pedcure, you did my feet, please dont make me do the face down tickling tonight" She appealed. "Okay, no tied face down tickling. I just want to tickle your back a little, is that okay?" Mitch asked. Naomi nodded, and lied on her belly, face down. Mitch proceeded to spider tickle her back all over with all ten of his fingers, and also rubbed ice on her back, causing her to squeal, and protest, and giggle hysterically:HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! MY BACK IS TICKLISH! NOOOOOOO! EHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! After they had intercourse a second time, Mitch was honest. "I realize that we are partners, and you are my equal. However, I dont deny that I did not like the hard assed Naomi of the last several months, and I also dont deny that I like to dominate you from time to time, and to get my way, and when you do things for me, such as the ladder, foot worship, and other stuff" He said. "It's okay, I am supposed to do those things for you. I told you that. I have for nearly quarter of a century, and I will continue to. I dont mind. It is fine" She said.
The next day, the Good Guys finished their series with Atlanta. Kate Hudson opposed John Smoltz. After a rough outing her first time out, Kate rounded into form, striking out ten, and pitching nine shutout innings. The Good Guys, however, could do nothing against Smoltz for eight innings. In the last of the ninth, against the Braves bullpen, Mitch came up, and hit a solo home run, just over the wall in right, to send the sellout crowd home happy, with a 1-0 win, to even their season's record at three and three.
Houston came to town on Monday night, in the last series for the team, before heading away on their first road trip of the year. Gil Bellows started, and pitched well, allowing only two runs. The Good Guys, however, could get only one, as they dropped the game, 2-1. Sniderman held a team meeting on Tuesday before the game, stressing to his team that although it was early, psychologically, he wanted the team to win the next two games, so as not to take to the road for the first time, with a losing record. Charlize Theron answered that call that night, firing a three hit shutout, as the Good Guys got only three runs, but won, 3-0. Neve Campbell took the mound, on a breezy, sunny Wednesday, in front of a sellout. Neve allowed two runs in seven innings, but came away with a no decision, as she left, tied, 2-2 after seven. In the eighth, Mitch came up with two men on, and blasted a homer into the bullpen in left, to give the Good Guys a three run lead. It was a lead they didnt relinquish, as Amanda Bynes got the win, and Hilary Duff credit for a save, in a
5-2 Paradise Island win, that finished off a somewhat rough, opening five win, four loss opening homestand. The team was far from being at their top form, but they had taken their manager's prodding, and won the last two games, to finish with a winning homestand.
The team held it's first Saturday night tickle party of the year, following the loss to Atlanta. The featured lee, would be a very sweet, young, 21 year old brunette girl, from the tickling chatroom that the team went into at times during their spare time. The brunette, who couldnt wait to be tickled by the professional tickling team, stripped to a bra and panties, and was tied hands and feet to the table in the middle of the fetish club. Catcher Barney began the tickle on the brunette's neck with fingers, as her head moved from side to side, and the shrieks began:HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! NOOOOOO! Moving down, second baseman Russell was next, tickling the brunette on her underarms, sides, belly, and ribs, counting her ribs up and down, as her laughter varied in octaves, as he explored her mega ticklish ribs:HEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! OMG RIBS ESPECIALLY TICKLISH! NO PLEASE NO! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! Third baseman Michael was the next ler, tickling the brunette on her hips, inner thighs, and behind her knees with fingers, as her legs jerked and bucked, and she howled and squealed. HAHEHEHAHEHAHEHAHEHAHEHEAHEAHEHEEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! EEEEEK! Finally, Mitch was the last ler, positioning himself at the brunette's beautiful feet. He attacked the brunette's feet with his fingers, a feather, an an electric toothbrush, and ice, over her mega ticklish soles and toes. The brunette went ballistic! She wiggled her toes every which way, squealing with hysteria, begging for mercy: HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHE! OMG PLEASE NO MORE! I CANT STAND IT! IAM SO TICKLISH! NO PLEASE! I GIVE UP! NO MORE NO! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! Finally, the tickle ended, and the exhausted brunette was untied.
On Thursday night, Naomi, as she always did, drove Mitch to Nassau International, so that he could catch the team's flight to New York, for the first road trip of the season. "I am sorry that we had such a rocky homestand. Now I lose you for ten days. I'm going to miss you, and I hope next time we have a better time when you're at home" Naomi said. "Nothing would make me happier" Mitch replied
So, it had been a bit of a rough homestand both on field and off. Now came the first road trip of the year. What would happen next? Would things improve on the next homestand? Those answers to come in the next segment of the Tickle Team From Paradise Island.
