Swim Practice

Rory smiled as he stripped down to his swimsuit. The first week of classes seemed to have flown by in a flash. He felt almost over whelmed by the sheer amount of stuff he had learned already and it was only one week in. Least swim practice allowed him to take his minds off classes. He grinned as he looked over to see Amy with her nose in a book as she glanced at him over the top. They had been playing this cat and mouse game for a week now. Every time he thought he was getting close she pull back the goal post. It was like a game of whack a mole and he was the mole. He had eve pulled out all the stops last night. Getting dressed up, picking her up in a fancy car, taking her to a nice restaurant. All he had gotten was a kiss on the cheek but he wasn't giving up yet.

He smiled and flexed his chest muscles making them bounce as he looked at her and she buried her face in her book laughing. She had told Rory that he was the type of guy her mom and dad had warned about and he was sure they were right for the most part but Rory was doing his best to behave himself.

“Rory. Your up.” Nick slapped him on the back and Rory stepped forward joining the others on the varsity team. He was the only freshman up here in the top tier. After many of there defeats by Rory most of them had taken to training harder create a sort of arms race as it were to get faster. What ever made the team stronger was a good thing. Rory stepped up on the platform on the edged an shook out his arms and shoulders to loosen up before getting into place. The second the gun went off he dove and kicked off getting as much air and distance as he could before hitting the water and going all out. The thing he likes about swimming was once you hit the water everything else was null. All there was was him and his lane. No racers would cross in front of him to cut him off. No outside distraction from the crowds. Just him and the water. He swam hard for the wall turning and kicking off and going back the way he came as he heard the rush of the water in his ear as he stopped for a half second. To slow Rory thought to himself as he knew he had lost time on the turn as he had timed it to early. He would have to work on that. He kicked it into overdrive pushing himself harder to make it up. He could live with coming in third again but not forth. He didn't want to drop a place after killing it in the first practice. He saw the wall and swam for it hard till he reached the end and came up. This was the part he hated as he looked back and forth at the others who had finished or were finishing then up at Nick who held up three fingers. Rory pumped his fist.

“Well done chase. Two seconds faster then your last time.” the coach said.

“Thank you sir. I fucked up the turn though.” Rory said as he climbed out.

“Work on it. You got two weeks before the meet but you will have a spot.” The coach smiled. Rory grinned from ear to ear as he grabbed a towel. The question was was he ready to take on people from other schools at the college level. At least he could get his ranking and see where he ranked among all of the athletes across the country.

“Better luck next time Fresh meet.” The swim team captain slapped Rory on back.

“Enjoy first place while you can buddy. I am coming for you.” Rory grinned.

“Way to go Rory.” Rory heard and looked up to see Megan and Chloe had joined Amy. He smiled and strutted over.

“I can see now why our girl has taken an interest in swimming. Megan smiled looking at Rory.

“Kind of looks like one of those meat packs at the grocery store.” Chloe teased as she cocked her head and the girls laughed.

“Sorry girls the grade A tender loin is off the menu at the moment. Please fill free to browse the rest of the our selection.”

“So how did you do?” Amy asked.

“Still third but I made the meet so I can't complain.” Rory shrugged.

“Oh well I might have let you get to second base tonight if you had gotten second but afraid there is no reward for third.” Amy teased.

“I will be right back. I am going to go again.” Rory pointed with his thumb.

“I think not. We are going to my room but congrads dear.” She stood up and rubbed his wet chest as she leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheeks while standing on the bleachers to make up the height difference.

“Thank you for coming to cheer me on.” He smiled

“Dude who are your friends.” Nick said as he came up behind Rory and threw an arm around him.

“Ladies this is Nick. Nick this is Chloe and Megan.”

“Pleasure to meet you both.” Nick smiled. They talked for a few seconds before Amy lead the girls off. Rory went back and cheered on the others while talking to Nick about the other two girls. He went and hoped in the shower and then got dressed and went to the dorms carrying his bag. He went to stop by Amy's room before dropping his gym bag in his room.

“Come in.” Amy said after he knocked. He entered to find all three girls reading something from paper.

“Hey. What is this?” He smiled.

“We are reading lines for our play. We are doing parts from Shakespeare for our next class.” Megan smiled happily. She was the hopeless romantic of the group.

“Ah. The bard.” Rory smiled.

“You should totally read lines with us.” Chloe said,

“I am not much of an actor.” Rory shook his hands. He had tried and failed in that department.

“Come on babe it will be fun.” Amy smiled.

“No I am good.”

“Come on. Don't tell me you are afraid of a little acting. Megan said. “You so have that romeo vibe and your girl can be Juliet.” Megan said handing him the page.

“Where are we?” Rory groaned.

“Here.” She pointed to the paper. He looked it over trying to sound it out in his head. English was hard enough but this was fucking old English.

Rory handed the paper back to her abruptly and headed for the door. He wasn't about to look like an idiot in front of Amy and her friends and sound like a retard trying to sound it out. “I just remembered I have something I have to do. Sorry. Excuse me.”

“Rory.” Amy said loudly as he left. He made his way down the hall and entered the room as he saw Jake as usual studying.

“Hey whats up.” Jake asked as Rory threw his bag on his bed.

“Nothing.” Rory said going to his closet. He needed to go out and blow off some steam.

“Doesn't look like nothing.” Jake replied. He was the only one who knew Rory's secret.

“I just made an ass of myself. Amy and her friends were reading lines and wanted me to read with them and well...”

“Did they find out you are dyslexic.” {Jake] asked.

“No. I was an ass and blew them off and got out of there as fast as I fucking could..” Rory shook his head. He could have handled it better. Suddenly he felt something hit him in the back and turned to see Jake had thrown his photography book at him. T was not hard back thankfully but Rory had still felt it. {jake} actually looked angry at Rory.

“Ouch. What the hell dude.”

“Do you like the girl?” Jake said.

“Of course I fucking do but no reason to throw the book at me.” Rory picked up the book and flung it back at him.

“Then you have to tell her Rory. You think you can hide it forever. Eventually she will catch on and if do not tell her you will loose her. ”

“What if she thinks I am an idiot?” Rory said and walked over sitting on his bed.

“You are for lying to her and being an ass. Trust her and give her the chance to make up her own mind. If she lets you go because of that then its her lost not yours but if you lose her because you lie to her then you are an idiot.” Jake was typically the nicest person you could meet but now he was giving Rory an ass reaming. One he probably deserved.

“I just don't want her to pity me or something.” Rory said. He hated that crap. Being treated like he wasn't smart. Even his own father did it and it pissed Rory off to be treated like a child.

“And how is she suppose to fall in love with you if she doesn't know the real you Rory? You can lie to yourself Rory but if you love her you have to trust her.” Jake said. Rory got why he was mad. It was Alice. Jake would do anything to have her back in his life and here Rory was pissing on his chance at love.

“It feel good to be right for once.” Rory smirked.

“No. Now do I have to kick your ass or or you going to go apologize.” Jake smiled.

“You and what army?” Rory laughed.

“I have more books. I would have aimed for your head but that would only damage the binding.”Jake picked up a thick accounting text book he had been reading.

“Fine. Hold your fire. I make a declaration of surrender. Way to kick a man when he is down Buddy.” Rory smiled. Suddnly a knock came at the door. “I wonder who that could be.”

“I will get it.” Jake stood up grabbing his phone. He walked to the door and opened it.

“Hey Jake. Is...” Amy began to say but Jake had already held out his hand toward Rory.

“Over there. I will give you guys a minute to talk.” He smiled and let her in before dipping out and closing the door.

“Thanks.” Amy said right before the door closed then looked at Rory and crossed her arms. “You want to tell me what in the hell that was/”

“Amy.”

“I am waiting.” She huffed.

“I have trouble reading okay. I am dyslexic. Add old English into the mix and those papers may have well been in ancient Greece. Why do you think I let you order for me when we go out somewhere new or get all my books on audio.” Rory sighed as he looked down running his fingers through his hair. There went the fucking band-aid.

“Why didn't you say anything?” Amy said as her expression changed.

“And look like an idiot in front of your friends?”

“You are not an idiot. Okay maybe you were this time but Rory you should have said something.” Amy came over and sat beside him.

“Yeah I just got that lecture. Jake had me coming back to apologize. He is like my fucking Jiminy cricket.” Rory shook his head.

“You should listen to him more often. He is your one friend I like.” She teased and took his hand.

“Beginning to think so.” Rory smiled.

“Can I ask. How did you make it through high school and such if no one knew?” She smirked.

“Vivian my step mom. My first step mom before Diana. She practically raised me. Whenever I had a book report and such she would rent the movie of whatever book we were doing and we would have movie night. That was sort of how I feel in love with old films. I joined the drama club in high school but me being an actor and learning lines was to difficult. Especially if I had to read them in front of others out loud so I stuck behind the scenes.” Rory frowned.

“I thought you were going to say your dad paid someone from the way you have described him.” She shook her head.

“No but him and my mom made sizable donations to the school each year. Dad sort of **** me onto the swim team as a way to make it into college since I never make it academically. That and the school is more lenient on jocks. He cared in his own way I suppose.” Rory shook his head. He hadn't liked it at first but had grown to like swimming.

“So it is nice to finally meet the real you Mister Chase.” Amy said as she held put her other hand hand and took his and shook it. Rory took her hand to his lips and gave it a kiss. “I guess I should confess something as well.”

“Oh?” He smiled.

“I can not swim and am afraid of water. Me being on the bleachers was about as close as I will ever get to that pool. I have only ever waded through the shallow ends and am scared to **** of boats.” She smiled

“Fuck. Well that is a deal breaker. it was nice while it lasted. Don't know if I can date a land lover.” He laughed.

“Hey.” She pulled her hand away.

“So should I tell my girls you actually need glasses but are afraid you will not look good in them and can't wear contacts because of the swimming or something. Your lie is my lie babe and they would totally believe you are that shallow.” She said as she put her arms around him

“No. You can tell them the truth but I rather not the whole school know. Jake is the only other person who knows.”

“Okay.”

“Now since you were honest.” She said as she climbed on top of him and straddled his lap and kissed him.

“Hello.” He smiled putting his hands on her hips. She took them and guided them around to her ass. “I love you Rory and I want us to be together but if you have to let me in here.” She touched his chest. “I don't want the egotistical playboy. I want to know this guy who I am seeing for the first time today.”

“I love you.” Rory said as he kissed her deeply and rolled her over onto the bed. There bodies pressed against one another. He ran his hand slowly up her waist and under her shirt and she stopped him

“That is as far as your hands are going mister. Least till you make second place on the swim team then I might let you play with the girls.” She shook her head.

“I like this motivational technique.” He smiled and kissed her again then slowly kissed her along the neck.

“Okay. Slow down there.” She said pushing him off. “I should go before things get any hotter. I don't want to rush this and my girls are waiting on me.” She was still playing the good girl but fuck what a kiss. "Later we can watch romeo and Juliet together since you prefer videos and try to act it out then. " Amy smiled.

“You sure. We could go make out in Jake's bed before you go.” Rory grinned. Still a little upset the guy had thrown a book at him.

“Rory. I am not doing that to Jake. He is a sweet guy. One you could learn a lot from.” Amy shook her head.

“I am beginning to think its an act. I have talked to his ex online and boy has to have game.” Rory laughed as he sat up.

“Why is she hot?” Amy gave a playful smirk.

“I know better then to step on that land mine babe.” Rory shook his head. There was no way in hell he admit any girl was hotter then her.

“Some girls actually like nice guys. I thought I did and then I met my bad boy.” Amy teased as she ran her fingers through his hair. “I should get back to the girls.”

“Apologize to them for me.”

“I will. It is to bad you can't read lines with us. Now we will have to practice the kissing parts without you. Guess Megan will have to play Romeo.” Amy smiled as she stood up.

“That is fine, just send pictures.” Rory grinned and sat back.

“You are no fun to tease.” She shook her head.

“It will take a lot more then that to rattle me babe.”

“Oh well. I tried.” Amy shrugged. “Hey can I get Frankie's number from you.”

“Why?”

“I want to film a shower scene in the girls shower and you can't go in there so I need someone to film me in some angles that tease nudity but don't actually show anything. You know washing my hair as water and bubbles flow down my back over my waist and down my tight little ass just below camera.” She said turning her back to him. Amy she was actually being a little bad.

“As long as I get to edit it afterwards that is fine.” Rory shrugged.

“Damn. Thought for sure that would do it.” She bit her lip.

“I am just picturing the two of you getting caught and going to jail and it becoming a girls behind bars kind of film. Caged College Chicks or something.”

“Ugh Rory.” Amy said as she pushed his head and shoved him back onto the bed.

“I love you.” Rory smiled.

“I know.” She grinned not saying it back as she walked toward the door.

“Really. You are quoting star wars now?” Rory grinned.

“But can you name which one babe.” She teased stopping at the door.

“The Empire strikes back. 1980.” Rory smirked. She have to better then that to stump him.

“Very good. Here is your prize.” She smiled as she gripped the bottom of her shirt and lifted it up to show off her two lovely breasts crammed into her brassier then gave them a shake. She leaned forward so they filled her bra for full effect as they jiggled. “Think of this as your coming attractions.” She teased and quickly pulled her shirt down and opened the door. “Finally. I found something that left you speechless.” She grinned and closed the door before he could respond. Rory smiled from ear to ear and shook his head.
