To Catch A Star

Chapter Sixteen

Andi thinks she's making it up in her head, like some stupid fairy-tale romance! She reminds herself that Colby was drunk the night he called her beautiful and that he doesn't even remember it. She tells herself that she's being silly and tries to dismiss how she's feeling but her skin tingles when he touches her, she blushes if he's looking at her or smiles at her from across the room (sometimes even winking at her, for crying out loud!). She repeats to herself that she has a husband.

She starts to notice little things like how their fingers brush together as they lay in the ring at night, how he touches her waist or runs his fingers over her lower back as he passes by, how he tucks her hair behind her ear if it falls into her face, how he massages her calves after particularly hard workouts. She notices how his tongue swipes his lower lip when he pauses in his talking, how he smiles at her when he catches her eye across the room. She's doomed.

________________________________________________________________________________

Colby is berating himself internally. He realises that he's attracted to Andi after the club visit but he'd never make a move on a married woman. His brain argues though that this is different, this is an emotional attraction too. She's married he tells himself, but his brain supplies that he's never felt like this before... the longing, the jealousy, the need to be close. How easy it is with her. The internal battle continues, bouncing arguments back and forth.

He starts to notice little things like how their feet brush together at night in their makeshift bed, how she touches his shoulder when she gets off of machines. He notices how she bites her lip when she's trying not to laugh, how she blushes brightly when he catches her looking at him, how her breath stutters when he takes his top off after a workout, how she seeks him out in her sleep even with the pillow barricade and hums his name in her sleep. He's doomed.

Things really start to become a problem for both of them when things get sexual. Colby was trying to relax during a break, the trainee's were in class and he took the time to try out the hot tub. He closed his eyes, but his mind instantly started to wander to that morning. He woke up earlier than usual and found himself pinned underneath Andi's arm and leg. That wouldn't have been an issue, but life was cruel, and she was currently having a very 'happy' dream. He started to smile but it was instantly wiped of his face when his own name was whimpered. He swiftly got out of there, managing to untangle himself without waking her and getting a very cold shower.

Damn it, why did his mind have to bring up that image... now he had a certain 'problem'. He grabbed his towel and hurried through the hallways to his room, he just needed to release some tension. Yeah, that was it. He hadn't had any action for a long while, he was just frustrated. So after roughly drying himself off and making sure his door was locked, he lay on his bed to give himself some sort of release.

He thought about some of the females at work, some women he'd seen in magazines as he stroked his half-hard cock to full erection. He imagined some faceless woman doing this for him, tightening her grip and twisting her wrist slightly near the tip. Stroking her thumb lightly through the bead of precum at the tip and spreading it downward. Yes, this was exactly what he needed. He relaxed into it, letting his mind wander... lips stretched around his cock, brilliant blue eyes looking up at him as he fucked down her throat, making her eyes water.

"Andi..."
he moaned. Well, shit. There goes that plan, trying to get her off his mind was pointless. So, he carried on, faceless woman now Andi and it was so much better. His hand sped up, his unoccupied hands going down to cup his balls and lightly roll them.

He imagined her taking his cock down her throat, moaning and sending vibrations down to his balls, tongue lapping at the underside of his cock... Fuck! Well, that didn't last long. Colby panted for breath, eyes slightly blurred and body sweating. What the fuck was he doing?!

________________________________________________________________________________

Andi's time was completely different. Her mind hadn't wandered, she was just a victim of circumstance. She awoke during the night after feeling particularly warm, to find that she was being smothered by Colby. She wouldn't have minded, knowing that she had done the same to him on occasion in her sleep, but for the fact that his hand had wandered to her breast and was currently using it as a stress ball in his slumber.

She tried to gently manoeuvre herself away at first but his hand was persistent, or stubborn, and automatically sort out and found her breast again continuing the sweet torture. She felt herself getting worked up in ways that she shouldn't, so pulled completely away from the grumbling man. She tried to go back to sleep but she couldn't shake off the tingling between her thighs that had been dormant for years...

So she headed to the showers. She was about to turn on the cold water but then on a whim, decided to throw caution to the wind and explore this new awakened arousal, the shower could have woken him up anyway...

Today was the third (or fourth if you're counting the first week) weigh in. Everyone was progressing well, and the trainers were exceptionally happy with the trainee's, even if Jon kicked up a fuss at being second, yet again, to Colby. Andi had lost another eleven pounds this week so was well on the way to her target weight.

Today, all of the trainers were at the front after the initial weigh ins, Joe yet again at the table with the laptop set up and AJ at the whiteboard, pen in hand. Confusion bristled around the room when AJ cleared the trainee's names from the columns. It was soon explained that they were having a redraft and Andi found herself somewhat disappointed at that fact.

Her eyes sought out Colby's and was a little put out when he looked nonchalant and looked away quickly when their eyes did meet. Had she done something wrong...

The teams were now as follows:

Team AJ – Ashley, Keaton, Daniella, Lee, Carlos

Team Alexa – Ronan, Ryan, Isaiah, Rosa, Monica

Team Liv – Andi, Fletcher, Sienna, Tony, Tilly

Team Joe – Zakaria, Zahra, Louisa, Fergus, Nathaniel

Team Jon – Charlotte, Liam, Ellen, Vanessa, Elmer

Team Seth – Hazel, Samuel, Ebony, Elle, Victor
