An Offer they Can't Refuse

[Knight Errant]

Steve nods, heading back to his apartment! "So, Hannah... is every day going to be like this?" He asks as they walk.

============================================================

Melissa smirks. "Oho... is that so? Maybe we should try an endurance race... most laps in a half hour wins? Then we can go do some water slides..."

[muffinstud]

"You're on!" Will darted off without another word in an attempt to get a head start. He continued to move like Melissa to make sure he could keep pace with her.

==================================

"Well, the schedule changes up every couple of days. I'd recommend taking your bath in the evening so you have time in the morning for exercise or more time on the beach. But the visits to the spa will continue to be in the afternoon." Hannah walked close by his side.

[Knight Errant]

Steve nods... "Sure... that sounds fine." he says, walking beside her. He pauses for a bit, thinking. "How long have you been here?" He asks.

=====================================

Melissa eeps and pushes off after him! Darting through the water... as Will finds his start a bit slow, but as he gets back into that mermaid-like pattern it seems to stick... as he propels himself through the pool!

[muffinstud]

Will tried to keep it up as much as he could. It was simple too, since the movements felt natural to him. He continued, back and forth, keeping up the pace as best he could.

====================================================

"Just over a week." She adjusted the strap on her tank top. "It feels like I've been here a lot longer though."

[Knight Errant]

Steve raises his eyebrow. "Whys that?" He asks, as they head up to his room.

===============================

Will found himself keeping pace with Melissa! She swam slower than before... seemingly more fluid and graceful. Her version of a long endurance swim...

[muffinstud]

Will figured if he did better copying her before, perhaps he could do so again. He slowed down a bit and tried to mimic her slow, graceful movements.

======================================

"Well, the schedule tries to keep you busy, but there's enough free time that the days seem to drag on sometimes." She tilted her head. "Also didn't help that I didn't quite get along with my last partner.

[Knight Errant]

Steve blinks at that. "Why not? If you don't mind me asking..."

===================

Will does so! But this one is even harder to nail down... kick the legs out... feet just so... hips swaying... but he can do it, right?

[muffinstud]

Will concentrated. Mimicking her before was key to his success, he wouldn't give up this time either. He let his hips sway as he kicked in the water, and mirrored her as best he could.

==================================================

Hannah sighed. "My last partner, my trainer, had the idea that I had to be 100% ready from day one. She ran me through a guantlet of exercises and tests. None of it made sense at the time." She shook her head. "Now I can see why she did it, but she was still wrong to do it the way she did."

[Knight Errant]

Steve frowns a bit for that. "Ready for what... maiding?"

=========================

Will eventually finds his new groove... and it just felt... right! He keeps up as they swim lap after lap! His legs and arms feeling the burn, but against the cool water it feels nice...

[muffinstud]

Will smiled in spite of himself. Who knew that wiggling your hips could make you a faster swimmer? He sure didn't. He continued on, relishing the burn and the general rightness of it all.

=============================================

Hannah nodded." She wanted me to eventually be an entertainer at the casino, and wouldn't hear anything else on the matter." She gave Steve a smile. "I won't force you into anything like that. I'm very glad you're doing so well, and I hope you continue with how you've progressed today."

[Knight Errant]

Steve smiles a bit. "Glad to hear it... I don't think I'd fit in there." He pauses as they arrive at his room! "Right! Lets have a fun evening and relax. Do you need a bath after the exercise? Your free to use mine."

============================

Ten laps... fifteen? It was hard to keep count as the water swirled around them. But it was fun... and it felt good! So who really cared.

[muffinstud]

Will easily lost count. He allowed himself to get too caught up in the feel of the motions and the fun of keeping up with Melissa.

===========================================================

Hannah answered him with a smirk. "I'd like a bath, thank you." She went into the bathroom and shut the door behind herself. The spout started running. "I'll try to be quick so you can take one too," she called through the door.

And so Steve was left in his room, a beautiful woman using his jetted tub, and nothing but a TV and a bookshelf to help him pass the time.

[Knight Errant]

Steve smiles... sitting down on the couch. Might as well see what channels the TV has. He turns it on!

=======================================================

Meanwhile, what seems like a moment later, Melissa stops as she finishes a lap! Glancing to a clock on the wall... "Well thats time!"

[muffinstud]

Will touches the wall right after her. He took a moment to catch his breath. "So, how many laps did you do?"

=============================

Flipping through the channels, Steve finds a strange assortment indeed. A cooking channel, a slew of home and garden channels, a channel just for soap operas, multiple channels with sappy made for TV romance movies, and a few movie channels as well. Even so, almost all the movies were romantic comedies, and the ones that weren't were the real romantic tearjerkers.

[Knight Errant]

Steve blinks.... "What the heck? This is all... garbage..." He turns off the TV in disgust... heading over to the book and magazine rack to see what the selection there is...

==============================

Melissa blinks... "Erm... I..." She blushes and rubs her head. "I lost count... you?"
