The Shield of Galar

Star Tournament: Day 3

Bea opens her eyes to see the back of Gloria's head.  With a smile, she rolls away and gets up out of bed, and stretches.  With an eye on the brightening sky, she mulls over whether or not to go for a run. 

She eventually decides against it, thinking it would create far too much of a stir if she is spotted just running through Wyndon. With no alternative, the fighting-type trainer slides into her bathing suit and starts doing laps. 

Gloria wakes up hearing some splashing and slowly looks around.  Marnie is on the edge of the bed a tiny bit away from her, but Bea is missing.  With a yawn, the Champion crawls out of bed and trudges her way towards a bathrobe.  After throwing it on, she walks into the main area and sees one of her lovers swimming laps. 

With a smile, Gloria walks over and sits down next to the pool to just watch the elegant movements of Bea through the water.  She may not be as graceful as Nessa, but her strokes are far more powerful. 

While she sits there watching, Gloria bites her lips, her eyes fixated on the glistening body that careens through the water.  Without much thought, her hand finds its way inside her bathrobe as she gently massages her privates.  Instinctively, she closes her eyes as she pictures Bea straddling her while the pool water still gives a reflective sheen to her tanned skin. 

After a few moments, she realizes what she is doing, and forces herself out of the daydream to see Bea standing in the pool with a huge smirk on her face.

"I..I...I'm sorry," Gloria stutters, her face completely flushed as the shorter girl's eyes dig into her.  "I didn't mean to distract you,"

"You have no need to apologize for masturbating to the sight of me swimming," Bea chuckles and wades her way over to the Champion.  "I'm honestly flattered,"

Gloria directs her attention toward her own ripples reflection, seeing the red that had engulfed her face. Bea then pulls herself out of the pool and sits next to Gloria. 

"So, what was going through your mind?" Bea asks with a smile, causing Gloria to bite her lip in embarrassment. 

"I...um," Before she can answer, there is a knock on the door, and both girl's heads shoot back to look. 

"I'll get it," Bea says, before standing up, and dripping her way to the door.  She then opens the door, wearing only her drenched one-piece bathing suit, much to the surprise of the man on the other side of the door.

"I...I have a delivery," he states, his voice shaking a bit as Bea takes the letter from him. 

"Thanks," she says before closing the door and turning back towards the pool. 

"What was it?" Gloria asks, holding her robe as tightly closed as possible. 

"Letter for you," the martial artist responds before handing the envelope to the mostly naked woman. 

Gloria gingerly accepts the letter and gives it a quick look over before actually opening the envelope.  As she reads the contents, a frown gradually makes its way across her face. 

"What is it?" Bea asks, noticing the change. 

"Rose wants to meet up with me in my office between the two matches today," she explains then sets the letter down beside her. 

"Does it say about what?"

"No, but no meeting with him is ever just for fun," Gloria then scrunches up her face and punches the ground beside her.  "He just really pisses me off," she half yells. 

Bea grimaces then pulls her lover toward her.  Gloria allows herself to be pulled, as her head rests on Bea's chest.  "Don't let him get to you," Bea states as she runs her fingers through Gloria's hair.  "He isn't worth it,"
