A Wave Of Desire

When I woke up this morning it was because I had heard someone moving around. I guess it was the exact same thing that had happened to Makai yesterday. The only difference between the two of us was that Makai didn't have memories from the night before that had come flooding back into his head. Memories that had left his face burning red and his dick rock hard.

I remembered everything that had happened. I remembered the kiss and everything that was said. I remembered how aroused we both were and how Makai had pressed our groins together so that we could feel each other's erections. And I remembered how I had pushed him off of me and ran to the bathroom so I could hide away like a little bitch. It was so embarrassing.

I was barely talking to him this morning because of it. I knew that if I tried to say more than one word at a time I would stutter like crazy so I was concentrating really, really hard. My hope was that when I got to the sports complex and it was time for the tournament I would be able to forget about everything that happened. I didn't need everyone thinking that I had mentally regressed through the night and was now just a monosyllabic moron. Though, I am just there were people out there who would think that about me regardless.

I was also doing my best to stay away from Makai as much as possible. I didn't want it to be obvious. Nothing overly noticeable. I sat with Ryan on the bus, but he was part of our four man team. It wasn't that far out of the realm of possibilities so I didn't think that many people would notice or say anything. When we were waiting for our turns to compete in the group events I kept standing up and pacing and when I would sit down I would end up in between Ben and Ryan. Again, they were part of my four man team that I was competing with so I didn't think that it mattered to anyone if I was sitting on the end next to Makai or in the middle between Ryan and Ben. As long as I was with my group right?

The girls were up first in their first relay of the day. We were doing the same three relays today that we were doing yesterday. I know that our girls had the potential to do great, they were strong swimmers and there were only six teams in the finals for them. I watched tensely as the girls swam one after the other. After the four lap was done they were in third place. It was a great start.

OK, now it was time for the first event for us guys. We were swimming in the same order as we were the day before so I was swimming last. Makai and I were the strongest swimmers on the team so we were supposed to gain back any time the others had lost for us and pull ahead if we could. We were all swimming as hard as we could and thankful we finished at about the same time as we had yesterday. We finished the first relay in first place.

Alright, the second relay for the girls. They were pushing themselves at a really good pace. They were moving right and in perfect harmony. YES! They finished in second. That was awesome. If they keep this up they will finish in the top three.

Second set for the guys. This relay was going to be just the same as the first one of the day. I had confidence in that. I gave a pep talk to the others that I, thankfully, didn't stutter during. We were all energized and ready to go. Ryan swam first and got to Ben before any of the others. Ben went next and didn't pull ahead but he didn't lose the lead that Ryan had gotten us. Makai swam next and got a pretty big lead. Then it was my turn and I pulled ahead even more. I finished long before any of the other swimmers and we bagged another first place win. YES!

Final race for the girls. It was time for them to give it their all. I never really rooted for them by name since I didn't often care enough but this was a massive event for not just them but all of us. This would be something major for our whole school.

"LET'S GO KATIE! GO WHITNEY! GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT ALEXIS! COME ON CASSIE!" I wasn't the only one cheering, most of the others from our school were cheering for them as well. We were all rooting for our teammates. It worked. They didn't bag first or second but they got third. They ended up in third overall which would give them a place on the podium. That was all they could hope for with how big this competition was. They could try again next time as well.

Now I was nervous again. It was the last race for my four-man team. I could barely bring myself to watch as the others swam their laps. I could barely even hear what was going on. The words of the crowd was nothing but a giant blur to me. The only thing that I could focus on at the moment was the water, the way that it looked and the way that the light reflected off of it. The water was always calming for me. If I just focused on the water then I would be able to do this no problem. When it was my time to swim, I dove into the water as hard and fast as I could. By the time that I even started my first stroke I was almost a quarter of the way across the pool, I had projected into the water farther than I had expected. When I finished my lap everyone else was still swimming as hard as they could. We had finished first once again, that made all three races. We had gotten the top team prize. We did it.

I was still in a state of disbelief when all the sound seemed to turn back on. The noise was deafening. The thing that I noticed most of all was our coach. He was screaming, his voice hoarse. He had done the same thing when the girls finished in the top three. The sound of my teammates screaming their joy, all of them, was what hit me next.

We did it. We had taken the top spot for the team relay. I couldn't believe it.

I was still staring at the time board when Coach Dickson came over and grabbed my hand so that he could pull me out of the water. He was hugging me and jumping for joy. I seriously thought he was going to slip on the water that was all over the place but he managed to stay on his feet. He pulled me toward the rest of my four-man squad and was hugging us all at the same time. I guess he didn't care that we were getting his clothes wet, he was just excited that we won.

And I was in such a state of shock that I didn't try to pull away from Makai as the coach pressed me into his side. Right now, this win meant more than anything else. It was something that made me feel like this past month had just been a fluke. Actually these past several months had. I had gone down hill because I was with that trashy slut, Britt the bitch. She was what had caused all the bad things to happen to me recently. I had let her corrupt me and it had ended up poisoning me.

"You did it." I heard someone speaking to me in a soft voice. "I knew you could do it." When I turned I saw Makai right there standing by my left shoulder. He was smiling at me and looked happier than I had ever seen him.

"You knew I could do what?" I asked him, confused.

"You won."

"We won." I corrected him.

"Your times were better than mine." He looked like he was trying to prove something to me.

"We will see in the individual competition." I just stared at him. It was only then I realized that I was not mad at him and I was not stuttering. I guess intense shock works to fix that little issue of mine as well. 

"Yeah, we will see. May the truly best swimmer win." He nodded at me.

"No one had better throw races. I will never accept that. I swear I will punch you in that handsome face of yours if you throw a single race." I warned him.

"You think I'm handsome." He grinned at me. Of course that would be what he focused on.
