ILLEGAL LOVE

"Are you ready?" Britani asks excitedly.

I look at my appearance again, I refuse to go out there.

"Can't we wear another outfit for training?" she asked hopefully, still inside the dressing room.

"Of course, that hasn't been the uniform for years, I'm so excited to be your coach, you'll see the boys when they see you," she says with a giggle.

And it is at this moment that I realize the class is mixed.

I come out with my worst face, I do not feel comfortable with this I am going to die of shame I am not used to wearing a swimsuit.

"How exaggerated you are fine", Britani takes me by the hand and takes me outside.

We walked to the pool area and in all that process, my embarrassment grew many kids turned to see us, I was about to die.

"Good morning," Brit says throwing herself into Darian's arms.

They all come to us.

Noha approaches slowly, she looks at me in a strange way and not to open her eyes as a sign, I don't understand what she's saying.

"Nalla didn't know you would train with us," says Richard, "I'm glad," he winks.

Noha takes a towel and hands it to Richard, covering his face completely.

"What's wrong?" Richar blurts out.

Noha adjusts her position by getting straighter, and looks at them all wrong.

"Stop talking, and take your places," says Noha with authority. Britani rolls her eyes and the others complain.

"Noha is the captain, sometimes he doesn't bother anything but when he takes it seriously it's very intense," Brit tells me in my ear.

I smile because at first glance it is true, with simple words he has just formed the whole team, everyone seems to hear him. We started with a basic stretch guided by Noha, who did not stop correcting everyone.

The doors open and Dean Cullen and a woman, has brown hair and gray eyes, is slim and quite tall.

"Guys, this is Miss Bella, she just joined and from today she will be her new coach," Says Will Cullen, "Miss this is Noha, Noha Cullen, captain."

Noha approaches a little stiffly, greets Miss Bella simply nodding her head, then returns to her place.

"Another victim," comments one boy at the end.

Noha looks at him annoyed, Richard says something in his ear that little by little manages to calm him down.

"I'm glad to meet you Noha and all of you, I would like to know who Nalla is," intervenes Miss Bella.

I stand in front of the team and greet her.

"Very well, Mr. Cullen told me about you, you'll see how in no time we will strengthen those legs again," Bella says with a smile.

"Thank you, I hope, I will do my best," I say returning her smile.

I take the opportunity to change my place, I position myself between Richard and Noha, while Miss Bella starts a talk for the team, I try to somehow communicate with Noha, she is tense with the naked eye I can see it, I take her hand and caress her taking care of the eyes that They do not surround, he responds to the caress and looks at him, his eyes are sad.

"Nalla and Noha are listening," Bella says and we quickly let go.

"What did he say?" I ask with a somewhat shaky voice.

"You and Noha will team up, and without further distractions we begin," he says, clapping his hands in the air.

We spent a few long hours training, my legs get used to it well but still, I don't want to force them any more.

"Well it's been a great day, you can go to the showers, the team in charge of picking up will be the captain's," he says, he gives everyone a smile and leaves.

Everyone begins to disperse, Britani and Lory approach me.

"Will you bear it?" Brit asks.

I look at Noha, he's still upset, he takes some towels and throws them angrily to a locker.

"Yes, I think so," I answer unsure.

"Well we're going, if you need something, call us," Lory says goodbye and Brit follows her.

Once everyone leaves, I cautiously approach Noha, she looks at me from the corner of her eye but says nothing and continues ordering, I caress his back and hug him.

"You're like that because of what that boy said," I put my cheek on his back, he's noticeably bigger than me.

"I'm not there because I can't defend myself, I swear I just wanted to hit him," he says clenching his jaw.

"Why did not you do it?" I ask.

He is thoughtful for a moment.

"Richard told me there were a lot of people for a scene, but I didn't think about those people, I just didn't want you to think I'm a beast," he says turning around and looking into my eyes.

"I would never think that of you," I say kissing her cheek. He smiles and in one quick movement he picks me up and runs to the pool, my screaming is useless, he throws himself into the pool.

"You're crazy," I say laughing.

"For you," he says as he takes me by the waist and sits me on the edge of the pool.

He sits between my legs, kisses my nose, strokes my wet hair and then my lips gently bite and kisses them.

"I love you," he whispers on my lips.

"Seriously?" he asked in surprise.

"Yes Nalla, it sounds crazy and sudden but I love you so much it could be illegal," he says, burying his head on my neck.

His occurrences make me laugh, but inside a bomb of emotion has just exploded, and I have no doubt that I love him too and many will find it unlikely, but for me it doesn't take a month, a year, two To love Noha Cullen, from the first moment I met those stormy eyes I was undoubtedly in love with him.

The doors open and to our surprise it is Lory, she looks at us surprised and annoyed at the same time, she doesn't say anything, she just runs away.

"He saw us," says Noha.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter I'll tell Brit and whoever it is," I say with total confidence.

Noha kisses me and smiles.

Nalla, "we better get ready, we have more classes."

Noha nods, says goodbye with another kiss and leaves. I go into the dressing rooms and when I'm ready someone enters.

"I don't care that you're tired of this, I want you to bring me all the information on that woman," is Abel's voice.

I look from my hiding place, he's talking to the boy I ran into, he's just as scared as that time and he just nods and then runs off. I do not understand why Abel treats him like that and to give him information. Abel looks in the mirror, hits it angrily, cracking it and leaving his knuckles bloody. As soon as I lose sight of him I run out of the bathroom, I did not know that Abel had that attitude, I enter the library looking for Brit but I find the wrong person.

"Eric?" I say surprised, I had forgotten.

"I was waiting, I'm glad you came," says Eric showing a shy smile.

I don't say anything, I just take a seat next to him, maybe it's not a bad thing to end this chapter at once.

Eric, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you, a lot happened, the accident and then we were estranged for a long time, I had a very bad time."

What he says I don't like at all and I cut it.

Nalla, "and what about me, I remind you that the fall and everything else I suffered and you were not there for me but still trust you and wait for you to do well, that you fulfill your dream."

Eric, "I'm really sorry I was an idiot, let's start over."

Nalla, "Eric I forgive you, but I will not come back to you."

"Is it because of him, do you love him?" nervous question.

"Yes," I say with complete confidence.

Eric takes me by the neck and kisses me, I separate from him and slap him, I can't believe he dared, I leave him I shouldn't have seen him.
