[indent][indent][color=darkgray]While the majority of the student population was just getting started with their days, a dark-haired young woman had already laid claim to the gym of San Agustin Academy. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHiMPCiI17M]Trap music[/url] blasted through her wireless earbuds, drowning out the sounds of metal against metal and the loud huffs of effort as her chest rose and fell. Beads of sweat covered the girl’s forehead as she lay on the leg press workbench, her calves muscles flexing each time her feet lifted the weights. Although Soleil Jameson was far from being a morning person, sacrifices had to be made if she wanted to keep herself in peak shape. Discipline, she had learned early on, was [i]everything[/i].

But things are not always what they seem, and there was another reason as to why Sol was going so hard this early in the morning. Yesterday had been just another lazy Sunday- the only day out of the week in which Sol allowed herself the freedom to rest. Eating, watching football and horsing around with the guys was part of the routine. And yet [i]another[/i] part of her day, and a secret she guarded fiercely, were her late nights spent in the company of one Theodore Wallstrom.

It had been a particularly hot Sunday in New Mexico, giving way to an equally sweltering evening. Sol and Theo’s first few moments together were spent bitching and complaining about the heat, both too annoyed at the weather to be their regular cheerful selves. A brief moment of awkward silence had fallen upon them before the young man had made his statement: it was hot, he said, and he was going to take a swim. [color=firebrick][i]‘But you’re not wearing any swimming clothes’[/i][/color] Sol had innocently pointed out, frowning at her friend as if he’d lost his mind. Yet Theo had merely smiled at her, shaking his head in mock disappointment of her words before standing up, stripping down to a dark pair of boxer briefs and gracefully diving headfirst into the crystalline waters. 

Soleil’s breath had caught up in her throat as she watched Theo swim his way around the pool in all of his chiseled glory. The dark-haired girl’s stare was fixated on her friend, staring at him in a reverent sort of silence, her green eyes wide with surprise and amazement. Eventually, the man turned his attention back to his friend, and signaled for her to join him. And there was Sol: stripping down to her own sports bra and boyfriend undies and diving right in after him.

The sounds of water splashing and their amused laughter filled the air and echoed around the room. They’d been catching their breath after a friendly race and a round of splash wars when Theo had wrapped his muscled arms around Soleil and pulled her close, with that breathtaking smile of his still on his face.

For a moment, the world stood still as their eyes met, and everything else seemed to fade into nothingness.Then he was kissing her hard, passionately, with the urgency of a suffocating man who’d just found his first breath of oxygen. And Shady was kissing him back even harder, putting into action the whirlwind of feelings she’d been holding back on since the day they’d first laid eyes on each other back on the first day of school. Caution was thrown to the wind the longer they held onto each other, letting their hands explore the other’s bodies and doing off with the pesky fabrics getting in their way. Soon enough their bodies were on fire and melting into one, and her nails digging into his back as he made her his-

And that’s when her alarm had so cruelly signaled the arrival of a new day.

[indent][color=firebrick][i]Fuck.[/i][/color][/indent]
The loud clang of the bar and weights falling and crashing across the floor after a particularly violent lift brought Soleil back to her senses. Cursing under her breath, the young woman angrily rose from the bench and busied herself with picking up the gear and carefully placing it back where it belonged. It was pointless to dwell in the thoughts of what could have happened had they not been interrupted by campus security when she dove in after him, and a damn shame that she was letting her impulses get in the way of her training. There was no time for boys in sports, and most definitely no time for drama in Shady’s life.[/color][/indent][/indent]
