I woke up around eleven I think. I noticed I was still wearing my dress from last night. It was so bright, I guess I was a little hungover. I got dressed and went out to the living room, the door to Andrey's room was wide open. Where was he?
There was a sticky note on my door it read 'At the courts with Domi'
So I closed the door behind me and was making my way down to the courts. I could see two figures moving across the court from the distance. They were practising shirtless. Andrey's muscled chest was glittering with sweat. Damn, he was hot.
"Didn't think you'd be up before noon and yet here you are" he said. Domi was walking over to the bench to grab a water while I and Andrey were talking in this corner of the court. I raised the sunglasses from my eyes but it was still too bright so I put them back on.
"I don't even remember anything from last night, was I sloppy drunk?"
"Umm.. No, you were actually very honest, you said I was cute"
"Did I? and what else did I tell you?"I was a little scared, I hope I didn't talk to much.
"Nothing really, after that you fell asleep on the couch"
"But I woke up in my room"
"Well, I put you there"
"Oh...thank you? I'm sorry I bothered you"
"Please, it was not a problem at all"
I could feel my cheeks getting hot. "This entire conversation you've been.......staring at my pretty hands".
"Goodness Rublev, stop being sarcastic and get a shirt... or maybe not I like the view"
"You do? Maybe we can take this view inside four walls?"
OH SHIT, HE WAS FLIRTING BACK WITH ME, WHAT DO I SAY.. Domi chose that moment to walk over with a sunscreen bottle in hand. "You're so pink, you're getting sun burnt" He then started rubbing the sunscreen on my cheeks.
Andrey was trying to control his laughter knowing very well that it wasn't because I was sun burnt.
I told the boys that I was going to the poolside to read my book. They said that they would join later after practice. As I walked away from the courts I bit my lip, the memory of Andrey shirtless in my head. God, his body was like a demi gods and those silver chains around his neck definitely had some magic spell on them.
The skies were blue, there was not a single cloud. It was such a pretty day. I was re - reading one of my favourite books 'The Song of Achilles' by Madeline Miller an absolute masterpiece. A shadow hovered over me blocking the sun. I knew it was Rublev, he stood there for a few seconds without saying a word and then my brother said something.
I turned to the next page. This was my favourite part in the book I didn't want to miss it.

A goddess, that's how I would describe her. I just wanted to stand there and look at her all day but there was no way to do that without coming off as a creep.
"Stop staring at my sister" Domi called from across the pool. I jogged over to him "She has pretty hands"
Domi just looked confused obviously he didn't know about our inside joke. "Anyways.... who ever has the biggest cannonball splash wins" He didn't need to elaborate for me to know what I had to do.
"I'll win" I said and jumped in the pool causing a big splash.
"Hey! You made my book wet" Bailey shouted holding her book to the side. Before I could apologise, Domi jumped inside with a huge splash. His splash this time drenched Bailey. Domi got out of the pool.
"So It's clear I won"
"No, I made a bigger splash" I said as I soaked the water on my body with a towel.
"Bailey, who won?"
Bailey was busy looking me up and down.
"Umm...what? hold up.. let me drink some water my throat is dry all of a sudden"
"Haha, it happens when you stand next to a person as hot as me" I said.
"Oh shut up Rublev" Domi said hitting him with the towel in his hand.
"Yeah Domi won, Cause Andrey made my book a tiny bit wet but Domi drenched me in pool water"
"HA, suck on that loser"
"You two are behaving like a bunch of five year olds splashing around the pool"
Domi's phone starting ringing, he talked and then hung up. "I forgot I was going to take Lilli to Rico's pizzeria so I'm gonna go" he scratched the back of his head.
"Go on, lover boy" Bailey said.
It was just me and Bailey by the pool, she was lounging on the poolside chair reading. I like her, but I don't know how to tell her about it and even if I do, I don't know if she feels the same way.
"Andrey, the yoga mat was out did you go without me?" Bailey said interrupting my thoughts.
"Yep, I wanna get better at it".
"That's nice, but lets do it together tomorrow. You need a coach" She laughed.
"Oh really? and lets talk about your tennis"
"I'm not the professional athlete in this situation"
That was true.
I laid back on my pool chair and looked up at the clear blue skies. The sun and Bailey's gaze gracing my body.
