SOL - Changes Part 2

You tense to go on defense, but Lara just leans against the tiles, wincing at the cold. She folds her arms to hide her breasts, but her cock is still just out there in the open. She has a nice enough body, although you have to wonder why she has so many scars.

The look on her face is grumpy, but that’s all it is. It’s not especially intense.

“Can we talk?” she asks, making eye contact.

“Yes,” you reply uneasily. After a moment, you continue washing, and you see her eyes snap down at the soap running down your body. She catches herself and focuses.

“I wanted to apologize,” she says.

“For what?”

“You know for what,” she tells you firmly. “I was…” She trails off, gazing into your eyes. “Hostile.”

You shrug. “Anyone would be. We were both wrong.” It’s true. This isn’t about what happened this weekend. Before that, Lara wasn’t sensitive to Riley’s wants and needs, and you had sex with Lara’s girlfriend. You didn’t have to make love to Riley that night when she came to you.

“You really do love her. Why?” Lara asks.

At first, it would’ve been her pretty hair and tight body, but that wasn’t about love. She’d been just another conquest in the beginning. But that feeling that you had today, fully focused on football? Riley’s always like that on the pitch. You’re so used to everyone having an agenda. Olivia wants likes. Riona wants dick. You want to feel like you’re number one. The girls that you slept with in the past all wanted something too.

Riley just wants to enjoy football and be with a partner who cares about her. There’s something refreshing about that.

“She’s not like the other girls I’ve been with,” you reply. You aren’t willing to spill your feelings to Lara. Not here, not like this. You are more than willing to accept her apology and try to be better, but you aren’t friends.

Lara sighs. “Me too. I’ve known a lot of bad people, Adella. She seems like the opposite.” She gives you a little shrug.

You don’t know why she shared that with you or what you’re supposed to say to it. It’s probably her way of signaling that while her pride made her allow this weekend to happen, she is still taking a territorial position on Riley.

She sighs again, looking you up and down. Then she smiles ruefully.

“I can see why she likes you,” she adds. “You played well today.”

With that, she leaves the shower stall and closes the curtain behind her. You were going to ask why she wanted to have this heart-to-heart naked, but she didn’t give you the chance. It’s weird. You expected her to leave it on some kind of threat. You figured that she’d be quiet and polite about it, but that she’d tell you to keep your distance.

Well, Lara doesn’t need to worry. You will keep your distance. Riley is her own person, and she should be with who she wants to be with. It’s your job to accept that.
