           𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄’𝐒 𝐍𝐎 𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐒𝐇𝐄’𝐒 beating a personal record for herself this morning. despite her not being hungover, her body still felt the repercussions of drinking last night. in two laps she’s making her way off the track and back over to benny, hands cratering either side of her hips, as she works to steady her breathing. “  still think i’m an asshole  ?  you CHALLENGED me  ,  i couldn’t back down EMPTY handed  .  who do you think i am  ? ”  she bares her teeth in a guilty grin - infectious and reminiscent of one a child would give you after fessing up to eating too many sweets. she grabs her water bottle from the bench before she’s taking a seat in the grass  .  “  how’d the STRETCHING go  ?  i’ll let you pick WHERE we go next  .  or what  we do next  .  we could stay out here and do a chill MINI workout ,  too .  i’ll even offer to hold down your feet while you do a couple sit ups .  ”  her digits move, pulling the already loose elastic from her hair and letting her long locks fall, tickling her arms. she cards her fingers through her hair  ,  “  ball is in YOUR court  ,  consider it my apology for STEALING a kiss this morning .  AND if easton  ,  reed  or seb ever find out -- i’ll make sure they go EASY on you  .  ”  her lips flare into teasing smile, brown hues dancing with mischief as she’s pulling her hair back into a ponytail  .
