She has a hard time getting use to this...a very hard time getting use to this. She may have moved around a bit through her childhood to various places because of where he father was being transferred and stationed, especially in Japan as well but...regardless, the cold was not her favorite when it came to the different seasons. What's worse, Xia had to agree with letting her cousin move in with her thanks to her mother and aunt ganging up on her about family and love and all the other mushy bullshit in their special guilt trip conversation. 

Yes...she allowed him to move in but she gave him a serious talking to that if he was to do some shady shit and don't respect her home, she would purposely kick his ass while he's sleep and pour hot grease down his ear. She's an island girl and island bitches were crazy. After getting set up this morning, she headed to the sports facility after having a few text convos with Marin. Pretty nice girl for the most part. Still needed to deal with the negativity but besides all of that, cool to talk to. Xia wondered just how good she really was a swimming and if she'd be a real challenge. 

After telling her cousin that she would be back later and not to do anything stupid, she left him there. She grabbed only a few things since hearing about the storm but she asked Carlo to get some more stuff but being the lazy bastard he was, sleeping on her couch, he just mumbled and moaned feeling he shouldn't do a damn thing but just lay there and let her take care of him. 

.........

After getting to the facility, spoke to Marin about how many laps she usually did for training and reminded her that she was not going to take it easy. Confidence every present and ready to back up the what was said. 

Afterwards, Xia was in the cubicle after getting her shower, wearing her red one piece swimsuit, taking her black swim cap off and looked over while Marin spoke about Xia owing her a smoothie, [color=f7976a]Well I can't get mad at ya. You're a great swimmer. You pushed me and I basically pushed you. That's all that mattered...challenging each other.[/color] She said not really upset with losing even though, in the middle of the last lap, Xia slightly slowed herself down before the finish and made it seem like she lost her breath. 

Not that she was taking pity of Marin but it was more of a confidence booster. She pushed hard herself and had to make Marin work for that and of course, Xia could've powered through. All in all, Marin deserved some good for her. After the kiss to the cheek and the hug between the two, Xia got herself dressed. She dried herself, put on her sports bra, under shirt and then long sleeve thermal shirt and after getting her jeans on, she grabbed her beanie along with her scarf and red trench coat. she helped up Marin and noticed the ring and smiled at her comment. [color=f7976a]Well that is a pretty ring. Be careful, I might just snatch it off you...[/color] She winked letting Marin know it was just a joke. She agreed to go to snag more mango. Of course, Xia would pay.

............

On the way out and looking outside, Xia was very hesitant on coming out there. With her gym bag in tow, she turned with Marin asking her out to drink. [color=f7976a]Hm? Um...sure...we can go one of these nights. I think there's a place that have internationally imported drinks that we can try from all around the world. And...I don't know if I'm going back to that club. We are staying away from crazy shit...unless we have no choice. heh.[/color] She mentioned. The next offer sort of surprised Xia. This was the first time marin or anyone here in Sol actually inviting her to stay over...well...except for Aoki but she didn't remember the next morning that she allowed Xia to stay the night. 

[color=f7976a]Alright...I'll keep your place in mind and you stay safe to, Marin...[/color] She smirked and picked up her phone to call her cousin Carlo to possibly pick her up. Carlo answered and told Xia that the house already lost power and that he was not leaving to go pick her up. it was too cold. Apparently he never went to get the groceries that she asked him to get and now, he was stuck home with not that much food and in the cold. Okay...well..Xia had an answer for that. [color=f7976a]Yeah...see what happens when you don't listen to me mother fucka! Now you're stuck with not a lot of food and in the dark and the cold! I'm not coming home. I'm staying with someone else tonight...so...enjoy your stay and if you're hungry, eat the soap you black bastard, Ha![/color] hanging up on him and went to call to Marin. 

Her reaction may have made her sound like a total bitch. Was she a total bitch? Tch...she shrugged it off and felt hey, he had it coming since he didn't listen. Males...always have to learn the hard way when they don't listen to her. That's how she felt. She wanted to take Marin up on her offer. She rushed to Marin. [color=f7976a]Hey Marin...your offer is still up right? hey..um...my dumbass cousin just told me that we lost power already. Mind if I did go with you to your place?[/color] She asked her.
