DPOV
Rose was running late for her training session… again. I was sitting on the mats in my swimming trunks and a t-shirt. I had told her to bring a swimsuit. We were training in the pool today. She needed to learn how to defend herself in the water. If they ever went to a pool or the beach she needed to learn how to fight in the water.
She ran in with a big gym bag with L|A Fitness printed on the side. She was panting. Rose fell onto the mats with me, and I gave her a reproachful look. "I know I know I'm late." She said, "I had trouble finding the perfect swimsuit for training." Then she ran off to change. The perfect training swimsuit? I hoped it wasn't a two piece, I wouldn't be able to concentrate. We had just gotten past the denial stage of our relationship. We had had sex and it was great. The thing is it was new, and I found she was trying to impress me more, and more. Whether it be mentally like acting more mature of physically, like wearing more revealing clothing or working harder. I thought those efforts were stupid. I loved her just the way she is. She came out and I swear my jaw dropped. She was wearing a blood red bikini. I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
"See something you like?" Hell Yes, I thought, and decided to voice my opinion.
"Yeah," I was very dazed. She walked away from me swinging her hips. When she was halfway through the door to the poolroom, she turned and winked at me. I stood there for at least a minute after she left, trying to regain my control.
When I was composed I walked slowly into the poolroom. She was lounging on one of the chairs. "Hey!" I yelled, "Your warm-up is to do 32 laps across the pool and then 20 around it." She nodded and jumped into one of the lanes. "Rose," I called, "I will be timing you." Her eyes widened and she dove into the laps.
When she was finished running she looked at me expectantly. "What do I do now?" That was the most impressive time she's had. I smiled.
" Get in the shallow end of the pool. 4 ½ feet." As she did so I pulled off my
t-shirt and dove into the deep end. The water was cold. I should have expected that It was November… I swam over to her and told her what we were going to be doing today. She had a lot of questions.
"Why would Lissa and I go to the beach? Why would I be in the pool? Do you like my swimsuit? Won't you be with us?" I didn't miss the slip-up.
"Because. You want to. Yes. Yes." I answered all of the questions. Her eyes lit up when I told her I liked her suit. I loved her suit.
"What kind of answer is 'because'?" She asked with attitude. That bothered me. Why couldn't she take this training seriously?
"My answer," I told her and ducked under water. I reached for her legs and she swam about two feet back, almost kicking me in the face. When I came up she had a horrified expression on her face.
"Why. Why. Why did you do that?" This lesson is about defending yourself and Lissa. She dove for my feet and pulled me under. I gripped her face and pushed myself off the ground springing away from her. "Why are we even doing this anyway? It's not like the other novices have to." She was still complaining.
"The other novices don't know what god it would do." I replied. "That's how Ivan died." I whispered that last part. Ivan was a big part of my doing this lesson. "The guardian on call didn't do water training and he lost because he panicked." She looked at me sympathetically.
"Ok lets train." She said wanting to cheer me up.
