All mistakes are mine!

Thanks for the follows/favorites. Remember I´m not native English speaker, so sorry! I have no idea about the armystuff in America so it won´t be right I guess!

I´ve got vacation at the moment and a bit of time on my hands. So I´ll update probably every two days.

Practice is finally over! It was a good one! Paige really wanted to see what the girls could do! She called them all out of the water!

"First of all I want to talk about team Captain! I know you already have a captain right?"

All the girls nodded.

"My question is do you want to vote someone new or just keep your old captain? If all of you are ok with keeping the old one than we will keep her but if anyone is against it that, she doesn´t have to say it right now! Just throw a note in my office or something until tomorrow before Practice! Practice is tomorrow morning at 7 am sharp! I except everyone to be here on time! Understood?"

All the girls nodded their heads in understanding! With that everyone cleared out and went to the showers! Paige went to her office to get her things ready so she could leave! When she had all her things packed and ready, she went thru the locker room, to make sure all the girls were out before locking up. Paige went to her motorcycle to get home as fast as she could! When she arrived at home, Paige made sure like always, that no one was inside her house and checked all the videocameras to see if someone tried to get in or something. But nothing like that was the case so Paige could finally relax and reflect her day! Swim practice was actually fun! The swimteam was in a better shape then she expected when she took on the job! The board told her that the team needed discipline and that's why they chose her! She was quite happy with what she had seen today! The only thing leaving her a bit restless is the in counter with the blond girl and the text that came after it! She would have to worry about that later! Right now she just wanted to have a shower and after that maybe watch some trashy TV and drink a glass of wine!


The next morning came way too fast for Paige´s liking! She was tired and didn't want to get up! But of cause had no other choice than to get up and ready for practice. So she got dressed. She threw her red COACH t-shirt and a pair of black shorts into her duffle. She walked down stairs and made herself some fruit salad and again checked the videocameras. That was her morning routine. When she was done, she put her bowl and spoon in the dishwasher. She got her duffle and went outside to her bike. She put her helmet on and drove off to the natatorium.


Emily pov

Emily got up like every morning to get to practice on time! She hated to be late and she wouldn´t start now! Hanna was still asleep, when she left. Emily made her way over the campus, and put in a stop at the café to get some coffee. With the coffee in hand she headed to the pool! She was actually excited for this practice. Yesterday was the first practice of the season and Emily was feeling quite good about it. And on top of that the new coach seems qualified to give them a good training. Something about her manners and posture reminded her of her dad. Maybe coach McCullers was in the army. That would at least explain the scare across her face. It looks like a cut. But it doesn't look scary. It makes her seem kinda badass and sexy. Because scars can be SEXY! When Emily arrived at the pool, a few girls were already in the lockerroom changing into their suits. So she went to her locker, and did the same. When she was done changing, she went inside to the pool. She chatted with a few of her fellow swimmers until the coach came.

"Good morning everybody. I´m happy to see, that everyone is here, so we can get started soon, but first things first. I didn´t get any notes so that means you are all ok with keeping the old captain, which is Emily. So congrats to Emily for being or staying teamcaptain. Emily I would like to see you in my office after practice so we can talk about what that will mean for you. My expectations for you, as captain, as well as yours, for me as coach." Emily nodded ok.

"OK with that done, everybody off you go in the pool!"


Practice was good today! And staying teamcaptain handed her an edge she didn´t really need, but it still felt good to her, that the girls still trusted her.

She went to coach McCullers office and waited for her so they could talk! Her last coach wasn´t really interested in the swimmers life and didn´t care about anything else, but good times in the pool! That could be quite frustrating to say the least.


Paige pov

Paige went to her office, where Emily was already waiting for her. She watched Emily looking around her office and couldn´t help but realize how beautiful her strong legs were and how her cinnamon skin looked. She went inside her office and closed the door. Emily turned and looked at her. Paige sat down on her chair behind her desk and mentioned for Emily to sit down as well.

"So Emily, again congrats for keeping your captains position. I guess the girls must like and respect you. What I expect from you is that you´ll sat a good example for the rest of the team. That means being on time and no mopping around. If you or anyone else has a problem you can always come to me! It doesn´t matter if it´s about practice, school or personal things. I´m always here if somebody wants to talk." Emily smiled slightly and nodded.

"Thanks!"

"So do you have any expectations for me?" Emily took her time to think about her answer.

"Actually I do. I really hope you mean all those things you just said, because the last coach didn´t give a shit about how we felt! He just wanted to see good times."

"Oh ok I hope that I won´t be a disappointment then!" Paige really planed on holding that promise! Her first coach in High School was like that. She hated him and nearly quit swimming, but then he had a heart attack and had to quit. They got a new coach who cared about the team, and that really show on their times back then.

"Can I ask you one more thing?" Emily asked her.

"Of cause you can! Ask away." Paige smiled.

"Where you in the army before this?"

"Yes I was. German specialist. I came back from my second trip two month ago. How could you tell? I really tried to keep the commanding tone out of my voice!" Paige chuckled. Emily gave her a small smile and answered:

"It´s not because of that! It´s just that some of your manners remind me of my dad! He is in the army!"

"Oh really? What is your dad´s rang?"

"Lieutenant Coronal!"

" Oh really! I was just a rang below him!"

"Why did you quit?"

"My unit got attacked and some of them died! They gave me the choice. I wanted to start new after that. It just didn´t feel right anymore. I lost a my best friend there!"

"I´m so sorry! I didn´t know! Sorry if I overstepped anything!"

"No it´s alright. I told you to ask away so." Paige shrugged.

" Ok than, I´ll see you tomorrow morning at practice! 7am sharp!" Emily smiled. Paige laughed.

"That's right! Good attitude!" With that Emily walked out of her office.
