Cannot make the same mistake
Minutes later, Fuyu took the initiative to slip away from my embrace. She moved back to pick up her tennis racket. However, it took her a while to turn back around and face me again.
She used that to stabilize her heart which kept on thumping and her reddened face.
I was tempted to tease her but decided to hold back... We're not done yet with the coaching, after all. I could still get another chance.
And so, just like that, I obediently listened to her lesson and completed the tasks she gave me after her demonstration.
Impressed at my tenacity, Fuyu became generous with her praises for me. Moreover, she also ended up enjoying the feeling of being able to coach someone.
By the time we finished, both of us were pretty exhausted. I grabbed her wrist and guided her to the bench in the room to rest.
She followed me without a fuss, knowing I wouldn't do anything.
