Practice, the next day

Caleb swung by the college gym the next day to watch Rachel and her team, the Crimson Wildcats, practice.

He headed in, and found most of the bleachers empty, as expected. He found a spot near the exit, and sat down, turning to idly watch the girls do their thing.

The girls were mostly lined up on one side, with a few teammates on the other side to scrimmage against as well as to focus on specific skills. Rachel primarily played the front row. She was taller than some of the others, so she was perfect for blocking and spiking, and her skills reflected as such.

Caleb watched, impressed, as she seemed more coordinated today. Seemingly faster, more agile, with more powerful with her hits than she had been in many of her other practices. Whatever her issue was the day before, it was obviously gone.

Caleb did a quick look around of the other girls on the team to see who all was here. To Rachels right, there was Jenny, a brunette with a tinge of red in her wavy hair, decent wide C cup boobs, and a nice butt. Really, they all have nice butt's, Caleb thought to himself. Jenny’s nipples were again on display today through her tight shirt, as they very often were. They were quite spectacular, but he tried not to linger ogling. He was dating Rachel, after all.

Behind Jenny, was Alisa, an american asian mix girl with stark black hair. Smaller boobs, but quite a nice figure too, in her own right. She was one of the key rear defensive players, usually ran libero. The others, Caleb didn't know very well yet.

Caleb watched them for a good 15 minutes, enjoying their skills practices with blocking, spiking, bumping, with an ocassional break and a full on scrimmage. As well as enjoying, obviously, their various poses in spandex. Rachel caught him looking at one point and gave him a big goofy grin with her tongue sticking out.

Their positions often cycled to give them each experience and practice in the various roles, but they all had their primary positions that they moved to as soon as the ball was in the air.

About 30 minutes later, practice wrapped up and Rachel came over to see Caleb. She downed a water bottle in front of him before saying anything.

“You looked great out there Rachel, feeling better today it looks like?”

“Definitely." She smiled at him, flirtatiously. "I feel amazing. Lots of energy.”

“Thanks for swinging by and checking on me.”

“Definitely, I enjoy watching you out there.” His grin was big.

“I’ll bet you do..” Rachel snickered at him.

About that time, Jenny walked by, heading out the door. “Looking good Caleb.” She said, winking at him and ignoring Rachel.

“Seriously?” Rachel spoke up, annoyed. But it was too late, she was already out the door and gone.

“Just ignore her.” Caleb said.

“I will, but jeeze, have a little class...” Rachel replied, appalled.

“Yeah... I don't think you're going to get any from that one..." caleb chuckled. "Anyway...”

“Got any plans tonight?” Caleb asked, trying to change the subject.

“Not a movie” Rachel replied quickly and sarcastically, then continued. “You might start having unrealistic expectations...”

Caleb chuckled. “Nah, lets just grab some food and walk around. Nothing fancy.”

Rachel smiled “Sure.” “Hey, give me a minute to get freshened up.”

Rachel ducked into the dressing room, cleaned up some, and fixed her hair. She didn’t bother changing since it was a pretty casual impromptu thing, and since she hadn't gotten 'too' sweaty at practice. She did toss some athletic shorts though, to cover her spandex. She didn't want to be showing off her cameltoe to strangers all night.

Caleb smiled at her when she returned, took her hand in his, and walked her out of the gym.
