Marilania smiled slightly. Swimming was one of the things that made her happy, where she felt at home no matter where she was and whichever country she always found a swimming pool. Life was always better when you had a hour to exercise and relax. 

[color=6ecff6][i]"aye. He was a flight engineer, we became friends on long night flights. Lost touch" [/i][/color]

Then the awkward meter started beeping, was he hitting on her, great a guy seems friendly first thing he I after getting her skirt up and the sports jacket zip down. Or was he? Deciding that sarcasm might be a defense, maybe it might put Don Solarte back on the fridge. 

Maybe other woman left there clothes on a bedroom floor without much of a fight, he would be sorely mistaken if he thought it would be that easy to pull off, or pull any clothes off that he did not own. 

Eyes flashing a slightly cooler grey to make it clear she was not that easily seduced. 

[i][color=6ecff6]"well you swim faster than the others, its pretty simple. I'm not exactly the best teacher... Trust me." [/color][/i]

Oh, so a student, stocks. Well that was abit more diffrent than scraping by on Raman and working in a shop, bar or one of sols many dive bars. 

[color=6ecff6][i]"Stocks, successful. Well then, no Raman dinners nightly then. Still not trade it for a office at 10,000 feet and some 54L supercharged radials." [/i][/color]

Then the award came... So much awkward, by what god had cursed this late afternoon, a random guy who had a few too many, another wanting to lift her skirt and now one brought over who had a hand bag... A hand bag that was more expensive than hers.. Jealous... It was a nice bag. 

Was the guy... Into guys,... Or what. This was a very strange afternoon. 
Maybe that was why he was so awkward and ran off to bathroom?

[i]"hey, so you made a friend then? I did not manage to walk into a date did I...?,"[/i][/color]

Cringing slightly embarrassed, things where getting strange, no alarm bells but certainly cringe bells. Maybe a drink order might delay them.

[color=6ecff6][i]
"oh, Im on soft tonight. I'm alright for now. Work tomorrow." [/i][/color]
