a reason,” she said winking at me. “I’ll make the smoothies this morning. You go wake up sex boy. But I’m warning you, if you’re not out of there in ten minutes, I’m coming in and I don’t care what you’re doing.”
I shook my head and went to my room. I needed to change into my swimsuit, so I decided to see if Major was really awake or just pretending. I grabbed a suit out of my drawer and took off my shorts. I slid my suit on until it covered my ass. Then I took my sleep shirt off and put the suit the rest of the way on.
“Next time turn around when you do that. I’d love to see it from the front,” Major said, sitting up.
“I knew you weren’t really asleep.”
“So that’s why I got the show. A little test?”
“Yep. Now get up. We have to leave in fifteen minutes.”
He got out of bed and I watched him get dressed. Who knew I would find it so sexy watching him put on clothes.
He caught me watching and smirked. “Enjoy the show?”
“Yep,” I admitted.
“Maybe next time I’ll do a strip tease for you,” he said attempting to wiggle his hips.
I burst out laughing. “I think you’ll need to work on your moves first.”
He started laughing with me. “You’re probably right. Dancing has never been my thing.”
“Pretend you’re surfing then. Your body moves very gracefully when you’re in the water.”
“Gracefully huh? I’ll show you graceful.”
And the next thing I knew, Major had scooped me up in his arms and was carrying me to the living room.
“I think this belongs to you,” he said to Karma.
“Yep, just what I ordered. A hot, tall brunette in a swimsuit,” she said, playing along. “Just put her over there.” She pointed to the couch, grinning.
Major dumped me on the couch and went back to the kitchen area.
“You two are crazy,” I told them. “I guess I can add that to the list too.”
Karma handed me a smoothie when I walked over to them. Major gave us a disgusted look while we drank them. When we were done I threw on a pair of yoga pants and a sweatshirt. We grabbed our swim bags and headed out the door.
I’d almost forgotten about the Wes situation while Major had been there. But it came back in full force when we saw him waiting outside our door. The second he saw Major, I could see the anger in him.
Major pretended Wes wasn’t there and headed for the stairs. He made sure we were through the door first and closed it behind him. None of us had any idea what Wes might do.
We took our time going down the stairs hoping that Wes would take the elevator and be out of the building before we were. Our plan worked. We were far enough behind him that we weren’t afraid he’d do something.
Major walked us into the swim complex and right to the door of the women’s locker room.
“I’ll be right here when you get out and I’ll never be very far from you so don’t worry about anything,” Major told me.
I nodded and went into the locker room to put my bag away. By the time we came out, Wes was in the warm-up area. Karma and I made sure to start stretching on the side farthest away from him.
After a few minutes, Karma’s coach called her over and I was on my own, but true to his word Major was just a few steps away. When I was finished stretching I jumped in the pool and started swimming laps. Being in the water usually made me feel better but today I was just nervous.
Major gave me the thumbs up as I swam by him. I’m sure everyone was wondering why he was there since practices were usually only for the team members. A few of my teammates gave him a funny look, but thankfully no one said anything.
Ten minutes into laps, I saw Coach Crosswalk over to Major. My heart started beating faster because I was sure he was going to make him leave. They had a serious looking hushed conversation for several minutes and then my coach went back to his office leaving Major where he was.
Thirty minutes after practice started Wes was called out of the pool and into his coach’s office. Major, Karma and I all shared a look. We were pretty sure this was about the emails.
The office that Wes was in
