'Private Lessons'

Bradin walked in to the rink the next day and Hayden and Clarissa were already there along with about 3 more girls. "Hey girls, ready to go" he smiled and could tell Clarissa was about to melt. "Clarissa did you practice" she nodded, "Always if you tell me to coach" she smiled and sat down onto the ice. Clarissa was pretty, bur Hayden was gorgeous and Bradin was only paying attention to her not the attention grabbing blonde.

"Ok, while we wait …why don't we do some quick stretches before the rest of the team comes in…ok up" he clapped waiting for everyone to get up. Some of the girls got up and others practically dragged themselves. Practice went slowly, no one was cooperating and Bradin was having a hard time with getting everyone to do what he was telling them. "Alright, that's it for today, I'll see you tomorrow" he sighed and the girls picked up their stuff and left. Before they did he grabbed Hayden's shoulder and stopped her.

"Stay and talk to me please" she looked at him, "I have nothing to say to you" he sighed, "Ok, I have plenty to say to you though" she put down her stuff, crossed her arms and stood in front of him.

"Hayden I'm sorry…" she looked away and then looked back at him. "I realize that but that's something I just can't forget" he nodded, "Can I still coach you because you're amazing with a LOT of potential" she nodded and smiled. "Yeah, no problem" waving bye she took her bag and walked out. He watched as her bag jumped around when it hit her leg and her hair swayed a little side to side. He smiled and picked up his stuff and started walking away towards his car.

After about 2 hours of surfing and relaxing at home Bradin picked up his stuff and headed towards his car when Jay stopped him. "Whoa, where you going mate, I haven't seen you around a lot anymore" he threw his bag into his car. "Work" Jay nodded and then looked at him. "I thought you already came back from work" Bradin smiled trying not to make it too obvious.

"Yeah but I'm coaching someone, a beautiful figure skater with major potential" oops, and there it goes, he spilled it. "Ahhh I see, a girl…so what's her name" Bradin smiled, "Hayden, she's amazing…an amazing skater I mean" Jay laughed. "Uh huh, sure" he laughed and patted Bradin on the back before starting back towards his car but stopped. "Remember, business before pleasure, this is your job, be careful" he remembered Erika and what had happened when her job got in the way of them, she almost got fired.

"I take that into consideration, but not like she likes me anyway" he shrugged, jumped into the car, and started it up. He looked at Jay and remembered what he told him so he sighed and drove off, and still remembering the kiss in the back of his mind.

After he got to the rink, Bradin unpacked his stuff and say Hayden was already on the ice. He waved at her and she waved back, doing another lap and then coming back to him. "Hey Coach, I came a little early, figured I should warm up" he smiled, "Great, yeah, good idea…ok now let me get my skates on and I'll be out there with you" he put on his skates and in a matter of minutes was out on the ice.

"Ok well I had an idea, since the auditions for the competitions are coming up soon I thought if you'd like to do something with me because most of the best figure skaters are couples, and if you'd like to be recognized on your own we can also do that so its up to you" he sighed after the long sentence.

"No, great, I'd love to do something with you" she smiled and fixed her skates. He smiled, "Ok cool, well first of all…I figured I'd start back with the basics, ok so now bend over…there we go and here do this…" he pushed up her arm and helped her stand the way he wanted her to.

After about 4 hours of practice they sat down and laughed, taking a final break before going home. "You know this is a great idea Bradin, and you're really good…I'm very thankful" he smiled; he liked Hayden a lot and was happy he was getting to spend time with her.

She liked Bradin a lot and figured there was no other way through to his heart then working with him everyday. She packed up her stuff and looking outside saw Clarissa coming in with her car. "Damn it" she yelled to herself and walked over to the door and saw Bradin talking to her.

Bradin saw Clarissa come in and figured he'd see why she was there after practice had finished. "Hey Clarissa, how come you're here" turns out Clarissa was also a figure skater and was one of Hayden's biggest competitors.

"Hey Bradin let me show you something" she smiled and took his hand leading him to the corner of the room where she though no one saw them. She stood in front of him with his back against the wall and her blocking all sight, or so she thought, Hayden was watching.

"Clarissa I have to go, I really don't know why I'm here but I have to go home its late and I'm tired" she smiled and looked down licking her lips. He saw her upset so he took his hand and ran it across her cheek. "You're really sweet Clarissa but I can't do this…" he knew she liked him but he felt bad enough as it is because of Hayden.

"I have a question…" he nodded, "Will you….go with me….to the dance please" she smiled and he noticed she was having a hard time asking and was embarrassed. "Sure" he smiled and looked around and noticed Hayden was no where to be seen. He thought Clarissa was beautiful and sweet and Hayden didn't make the first move. The dance was a season opener, for the entire team and you could bring anyone.

"Thanks" she smiled and quickly leaned over without thinking and met his lips. Instead of pulling away he placed his hands on her cheeks, cupping her face and deepened the kiss pulling her closer. Her tongue traced his bottom lip and he opened up wider letting her in. "Wow" he said after she had pulled away. He noticed his feelings for Clarissa were pretty genuine too, and now he no longer had any idea what he wanted.

"I'm sorry…" she started to say, he put his finger against her lips. "Shh…don't be sorry, ever about something like this" he kissed her again and ran his hands down her sides and let them rest on the sides of her butt.

She sighed, "You're so amazing baby" he smiled, "So are you" he noticed her happiness and her excitement. The kiss changed something between them and he didn't want to kill what he had with Hayden but was seriously starting to fall for Clarissa.

He noticed almost everything about her gorgeous eyes, her blonde hair, her amazing figure and her grace and beauty but what he didn't notice was the tears that poured down Hayden's cheeks at the sight of the kiss.

He didn't notice the hurt in her eyes, the pain in her heart and the tears that burned in the corners begging to come out. Hayden turned around and sped off in her car before Bradin saw and for one second, a brief second Bradin turned and though he saw Hayden's car leave the lot. He shrugged it off figuring it was his imagination since Hayden had already left but he couldn't get over Clarissa's kiss and her passion.

"This is going to be an interesting season…I just pray Hayden didn't see that this would have killed her" he sighed and licked his lips, walking into the lot and getting into his car.
