My captain

Hot and cold

Song of the chapter: So it goes - Taylor Swift

In the next days Leah's eye is getting better and better and she starts training as well. She has been set out of training and fitness for 3 days until her eye isn't that swollen anymore. I like to see her being fit again but I have also enjoyed the time when we were just spending comfortable times together.
I still can't stop thinking about everything that happened between us in the past days. It all happened so quick but yet it doesn't feel like I'm rushing into something. It feels so right and she gives me the feeling that it is right. We never really talked about our feelings with words. We just talked through our body language.

I wait outside the hydro room for the other girls. We want to go to the ice bath after training. I put my phone out of my pocket and see three missed calls from Steph. Not again. Steph is my ex girlfriend. We broke up just 6 months ago because we grew apart. It was something that really hurt me back then but I'm over it and ready for something new. Now with Leah I feel like I found the new. I don't want to be reminded of the pain that she put me through. She was the one who ended our relationship. To be fair I also didn't think that we would have matched but in the end she was the one to say it first. We have been together for 5 years and to be honest I thought that we would stay together forever so it really got me when it happened to be different. We haven't spoken much since our break up so I don't know what she can possibly want now. I don't want to talk to her. She called me a few days ago and also send me some messages. I didn't read them and now I also put the calls to the side. I'm so happy now that I don't want anything to ruin that.

I'm stopped from thinking when Ella, Beth and Leah come up to me.

"Where are the others?" I ask them since I have been told that far more people would come. While Ella explains that the other will be there soon my eyes are already frozen on Leah again. She knows that I look at her and gives me a smile. Just this little thing makes me so happy.

We go inside and straight into the ice water. It really is cold, a bit colder than I expected it to be. I don't know how someone can say that this feels nice because it definitely doesn't feel good. We aren't really talking the entire time. Some of the other girls join us as well. I keep looking at Leah. She is standing just a bit away from me. I try to stop myself from focusing on her too much since we are surrounded by people that shouldn't know about us. Based on the way Leah is looking at me I know that she is having the same problem. All the girls are distracted with their phones when Leah slowly makes her way at me through the water. I look up at her and try not to smile. She walks around me. When she is behind me I feel her hand touching my thigh under the water. No one is able to see her hand but I can still feel it. She is still behind me and I can feel her leaning closer.

"So you get a bit warmer." She whispers. She gives me goosebumps with her words. This is so hot. She is so hot. How is that possible? She pulls back a bit so no one recognises her standing that close to me. I look around. It looks like no one has seen anything. I slightly turn my head to the side and look into her eyes. Her left eye is still a bit red but not as bad as it was before. She locks her eyes in mine and I feel her hand coming closer again. Why is she teasing me like that when all the others are around? She knows that I can't do anything right now. She lays her hand at my leg once again. I breath in trying to control myself. She keeps looking at me with something special in her eyes. At this point I have completely forgotten about the cold water around me. All I can think about is her hand at my skin. She makes me want her even more. I want to do so many things to her right now because this really turns me on. I think she knows that.

"Stop." I whisper under my breath. Leah hides her smile. She really has to stop with that. She knows exactly what an effect she has on me right now and she plays with it.
