I stepped into the shower and began to wet my hair with the hot water.

It felt nice against my skin, soothing all the stress from my body for a moment.

A hand snaked around my neck and gripped a bit, lifting upwards a little. Hot breath ran across my ear and neck as the face closed in.

'I know you want this' he whispered into my ear. He nipped lightly at my neck and placed kisses along my neck, shoulder, and down my arm.

'I do.. I want.. this.' I tilted my head back more and rested it against his shoulder, giving him as much access as he needed, hand still around my neck.

I second hand rested on my sternum and began its decent down my abdomen, slowly making its way past my navel, and to m-

I woke up abruptly from my sleep. I rubbed my eyes and shook my head, grabbing my phone to take a look at the time.

"10:45?! Shit! I'm going to be late!" I jumped up from my bed and ran to my suitcase. I grabbed a pair of mom jeans and a tank top, just to be safe for the weather.

I brushed my teeth and did my makeup slightly, the same thing as always being my mascara. I was a simple woman, I didn't want to over complicate my routine!

I grabbed my keys, phone, and wallet and was rushing out the door and down the elevator. I pulled my phone out to look at any notifications I missed.

There was a missed phone call from Scaramouche, 6 missed texts from Itto, and 1 from Xiao.

I opened Xiao's message and scanned over it several times, smiling at the short words.

'good morning.'

It wasn't a lot, but hey! It's the effort that counts! I opened up Itto's messages to a bunch of 'WHERE ARE YOU' ..

I shot him back a quick 'heading there now,' text and put my phone into my pocket as I made my way to my car.

I started her up and was on the way to the directions I was given. It was not a long drive but I still enjoyed the scenery some more and took it as an advantage to go slower and look around.

I felt a lot more at ease being here. Xiao and I are easing the tension a bit but, there's still so much conflict between us that isn't quite visible.

Eventually a pulled into the lot to the address, noticing Itto's truck and Scaramouche's and Xiao's cars. They seemed to be down on the sand already so I made my way into a spot next to Itto's truck and got out.

I looked around for a moment and looked at the beach. The water stretched for so long it was like it went on forever. The reflection of the sun on the water was blinding but oh so pretty.

I wondered down to the sand and looked around for a second and went in the direction of a group of people, 3 cars, and a tall muscular man.

Itto turned around and smiled at me, waving his hand in the air like one of the blowup things in front of a store. He looks like an idiot, but I'll keep that to myself.

"Morning everyone!" I announced upon walking to the group, making my presence known to the people there.

"Good morning. These are the trainees; Thoma, Kamisato Ayaka, and Yoimiya. You two will be racing against them today." Xiao and I raised our eyebrows in unison and stared at Scaramouche like he 3 heads.

"That's funny! You know this is sand, right?!" I crossed my arms over my chest and eyed Scaramouche for a second while he smirked at me. This bastard..

"It's actually easier than it looks, ms. y/n." The blue haired girl reassured, smiling at me. I looked at her for a moment. She was really pretty, her hair was super mesmerizing, matching her eyes perfectly.
