The Fated Match

It looks like I’ve made quite the impression on Jenny since she hasn’t left my side ever since we finished our first session.

I thought it was going to be annoying but she really helped me get to know the place and meet a bunch of cool people.

The rest of the team were slow in warming up to me but when I told them a bit more about myself they were onboard with me as their coach which I am thankful for.

Jenny ended up inviting me to her favourite pub which she said serve the best grilled steak you’ll ever find in Manchester so who was I to deny.

Jacob tagged along with us for obvious reasons. Him and Jenny are actually together and even though that sounds fine Jenny told me she had originally broken up with him.

The idiot cheated on her but after months of him begging for her back he finally was allowed back into the zone of Jenny.

Cheating is never okay but it was only a kiss with another girl at a party. It’s not like he cheated on her by fucking another girl or anything.

But I’m glad she’s giving him a hard time.

” so you always wanted to be a coach never wanted to do the olynpics route” jacob asked me as he drive us to the pub.

I ended up telling them about my life. Jacob was strong with his questions.

” yeah training took over my life and I enjoyed supporting my team mates than actually competing” which is true.

I was always captain and spent most of my time coaching everyone.

” I get that sometimes” Jenny says leaning back into the seat.

Oh yeah Jenny is the captain of the team.

I’m more glad than anything because that means I’ll be speaking to her about a lot of things rather than the others.

Bryony, the princess of the team was an interesting character.

She was quiet for the rest of today’s session.

“And we’ve arrived” Jacob comment pulling into a parking space.

The pub looked average I mean it’s. It about the outside really it’s al about the foods and drinks.

Jacob grabbed Jenny’s Hand and led us inside to which he proceeded to greet other people inside.

Jenny did the same leaving me to just wander around.

I decided to go find us a booth to sit at when I accidentally collided with someone meaning that they spilled their drinks all down my shirt.

Brilliant

My mind was dogged until I looked at the guy I had bumped into.

“Elle?” I recognised that voice.

“Oh hey Ryan sorry about your drunk” I laughed looking down at my drenched shirt.

Not the most appealing look.

A deep voice was calling him probably wondering what’s taking him so long.

” no I’m sorry, look take my blazer you can wear this ” he already started to remove it but I stopped him.

“I’ve got it it’s alright” I tell

Him unbuttoning my checkered shirt that was just another layer to my outfit.

When I removed it i was left in my band top and high wasted jeans.

It was getting warm in here anyway.

Jenny and her boyfriend sat there in shock as I came back. Clearly they couldn’t believe that I did that but it wasn’t that much of a deal.

“what” I exclaimed before sitting down in an empty seat. Jacob shook his head at me. I grabbed a menu wanting to get some food before I have too go hme and finish unpacking.

If my mom decided to unexpectectedly pop in I would be screwed with the mess that my house is in.

“you’re something else did you know that” Jenny tells me also picking up a menu and scanning it. When we all know she knows exactly what she is having tonight.

Why worry over something like a spilled drink, it was nothing really.

I dropped the menu already deciding on the surf turf combo with a side of spicy wings. I waited patiently for them to choose their orders.

” youre practically my students so its on me” I sat Jacob back down when he said he was paying for me. I dodnt know what rules the school has but I think it will be better if I buy for them for now.

I make my way over to the bar with a menu. I waited patiently in line behind a man who was ordering his order. Well trying to anyway. The women behind the bar practically had her breasts out as she flirted with the guy.

I began to get really fucking annoyed.

Lucky for them another girl offered to take my order, she had just returned from taking dirty plates to the kitchen when she saw me waiting.

“sorry about your wait what can I get you?” she said nicely tapping on a interactive screen a few times.

Technology these days.

” I wouldn’t have been waiting if your employees didn’t flirt shamlessly at fucking 4 oclock” I said agitated as I opened up the menu.

I hadn’t realised I had said it so loud. The guy next to me scoffed turning his head to look at me. Well more like give me a sly glance.

” uh yeah sorry about that, what can I get you” the girl repeated getting my attention again.

I decided to ignore the guy and tell her my order making sure to get jenny’s order right since she was very picky.

” Jealousy doesn’t suit you” I felt the same guy from before move closer to me his elbow resting on the bar as he stared at me.

I breathed in and out deeply. ” You think I’m jealous very funny ” I shake my head hovering my phone over the machine and letting my money transfer.

” I’m not laughing princess” he said taking a beer bottle from the woman. I almost puked in my mouth at the name he called me. Princess, what are we high school.

Take me away please.

I wasted no time in leaving the bar with the drinks and walking over to the table where the couple were busy laghing at Jacobs phone.

It wasn’t long until our food was being brought over.

“see, how amazing is the food here” jenny says after we had finished all our food. I have to admit the food was pretty good, not bad for my first proper meal.

Jacob dropped me back to the centre so I could take my car home.

I just checked on the pool making sure I locked up everything and cleared my things when I heard someone in the pool.

I saw a dark figure swim through the pool. I squatted and watched as the person nearly kicked off the wall on the other side.

I could tell that they were clean and were not splashing.

A blue cap submerged from the water and I was shocked to find beyond come to surface.

” that was really good bryony ” I told her as she floated around. I know she was cocky and confident but I actually hadn’t seen any of the students swim that effortlessly.

Not even Jenny.

“Thanks coach” she said loving her arms on the side of the pool and lifting herself out of the pool.

I said goodbye to her and left in my car to head home.

As soon as I got inside I connected my phone to the speakers and started to clean my house.

I first stared with the bed because I needed that to be clean for later unless I just sleep on the couch.

I placed my swimming awards on my display table and made sure they weren’t dusty.

I noticed the picture I had with my father. It was the first day he took me swimming.

The moment this picture was taken was before my dad through a 5 year old me in a pool and forced me to swim.

I knew there was a reason why he told mum he’d take me.

Fucking sly shit.

I learnt pretty quickly though.

Memories of my past seem to transfer me into a sleepy state I was exhausted from today.

I woke up the next morning with plenty of time to get ready. After hitting the gym in my home I showered and began my breakfast.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I decided on an egg and salmon bagel with a coffee.

If I was going to make it through a long day of training I would need this.

I listened to music as I was driving to the centre. I was in a happy mood for once today.

I walked into the changing rooms and noticed the girls huddled around.

” I had no idea Jenny had a brother, he’s old but fucking sexy” one of them saying fanning herself with her hand.

“Girls ” I made myself known. They all split apart and stood straight.

Leila slowly placed her phone back in her bag.

” is there a reason why you’re gossiping about Jenny’s family” I asked them placing a hand on my hip.

I won’t take anything close to gossiping in my sessions. Not when I’m around.

“Sorry coach it’s just Jenny’s brother is in the pool” Bryony was the one to speak up.

I didn’t have time to ask her any questions I was already out to the pool.

Bryony was right there was someone in the pool and had people surrounding them.

I have to respect that this guy is her brother but seriously if he’s going to distract my students at least do it after practice. I’ve lived my life with boys like this thinking they have all the rights.

I will not let…

” what the fuck” I suddenly exclaim staring at his back as he rips off his t-shirt. Surprisingly I wasn’t mad about him literally about to jump in the pool.

All I could stare at was the tattoo that was on the back of his neck.

Why you may ask.

Well because I have the exact same one.

” I’m sorry miss Elle I told him, no but you know he never listens to me” she continues to ramble on following close behind me as a stalk my way over to him.

His eyes show a playful glint as he swims around in my pool his muscles flexing with every single movement.

Why the fuck do we have the same matching tattoos in the same place as well.
