By six I was ready and putting my rose gold sneakers on to go with a cut grey floral romper. I loosened my pin curls and applied lip gloss and that was it for my get ready with me session. Well, as soon as I stepped off the stairs, I hopped over to Tey telling him I'd be going. He mumbled a "mhmm", too focused on his game. I was about to go off...
Tey: *puts down headphone* Sapphire?
Sapph; *turns looking innocently* Yesss?
Teylor: Come. *pats his lap*
Sapph: What?
Teylor: You look really great as always but I'm going to ask you to change sexy baby.
*soft tone*
Sapph: Oh come on, not you too.
Teylor: That romper reveals too much baby. If I was going with you it'd be fine but...
Sapph: Its just a simple dinner with the girls. It's fine.
Teylor: Ok then why not wear one of your pretty maxi dresses then?
Sapph: I dont have them here.
Teylor: Okay pants then?
Sapph: But I want to wear this.
Teylor: Okay..
Sapph: Okay???
Teylor: No! Please just cooperate and then you can go.
Sapph: Just for you I'll bring my guards. Okay?
Teylor: *doesn't respond*
(A few tries of getting a correspondence later)
Oh alright, but if I see anything....
Sapph: Okay , okay, okay. I get it. Geez.
*Takes her grey LV bag from the couch and drags it out going into her ride. *
Soon enough I was on my way.
*************************************************
My best friends and I came back to Tey's since their boyfriends were there apparently. We came back earlier than expected because most of the dance juniors were as I said juniors and the restaurant was closing. Therefore, we only got our orders to go along with caramel macchiatos from Starbucks because we didn't want the beverages so we just gave them to a lady who was asking for money along with some cash.
We came in and the house was empty until we put our food on the kitchen counter, we picked up on the loud cackles coming from the backyard. We greeted them then sat over under the mini gazebo while eating and talking about the gymnastics meet tomorrow. I was telling them how I was feeling about doing demonstrations tomorrow because I broke my arm at the end of the season, and ever since, I hadn't gotten any chance to practice.
Sapph: Honestly, I'm nervous even though its 100% now.
Sol: You'll do great. You will have great support. You and Char both. I'll get the rest of my friends to come too.
Sapph: *nods* I'm just grateful that Char took some of my responsibilities. I dont know what I'd do without you or Sol. *sobs* I'm just scared ...
Tey: *hears from his side* Babe are you ok?
Sapph: Mhmmm. *wipes eyes quickly and eats and drinks some more*
Char: Its okay baby. You'll be back to thundering the stage.
Sol: The tennis player approves.
Char: Be quiet. * they all glare at each other then laugh*
Sapph: I can't wait until...*phone beeps*
(Text from paige1...@...)
Sol: Hey Sapph you got a message from this paige girl.
Sapph: Oh that's my ex bestfriend who also came with my ex boyfriend. You know this Sol , we told you. Anyway, she apologized.
Char: Dry much?
Sapph: As if you'd do better. You know me. Once it's done, it's done. El fin. *rolls tongue*
Char I think I want to try the 1 finger stand routine.
Char: *gasps* The beam routine that broke your hand! Are you sure buttercup?
Sapph: Shhh yeah. They want me to do one of my difficult routines tomorrow.
Char: You haven't practiced?
Sol: As much as I dont know about springing every which way, I think you should listen to Char.
Sapph: I have practiced it in my home gym ever since I healed.
Char: No. I'm getting our ice-cream. * walks away*
Sapph: *pouts* Teylor *whines*
Teylor: Yes cute bun?
Sapph: Char won't let me do the routine.
Teylor: You have to understand baby. I get why she's against it so much. But you make me do-
Char: Teylor, really?
Tey: Calm down Charlotte she really can do it again.
Char: Okay well I want to see and Sapph I'll be right there if you fall, okay.
Sapph: *nods*
Char: I'm sorry my baby. *hugs her*
Dillon: Ok I like girlxgirl but please part those two.
Char: She was my wife before any of you.
*blows a kiss to Dill who catches it and sits down quietly*
So we all gathered in Teylor's home gym at the beam. Hello, Mr. Beam my old friend... Here I go. I powered my hands and tightened my grips. Yeah, Tey bought me gymnastic training equipments so I could go at it when I'm here. P.S. he just likes me being close to him all the time. Anyway, a point and up one hand, feet straight, each finger slips up leaving the index then an air split, twirl, whole hand to move across beam. Front heel stretch into a hand stand maintaining stretch, fingers flair up leaving index again then a double twirl and a triple spin and toughdown. Thank you, thank you.
I sat dazed when Char held me in her arms and heard Teylor screaming that I'd beat my best practice time. I felt a sting in my hand but that's all it was. Soon enough we were showing everyone our demonstration programme out of fun. Lol.
