Beginner and the Sinner (Andy Biersack & Noah Sebastian)

Underdressed

"I'm sorry what?" I didn't think I heard him right.

"The acrobatic, gymnastic type moves your doing. You got the basics down. I'm gonna help you, give you little tips and teach you some more." Ashley smiled sweetly at me as I stared in disbelief.

"Oh. I guess I didn't realize this would be one of the special skills Jake talked about." I really couldn't picture Ashely doing any of it.

"Of course! It can be a balance breaker in a fight or mission. Being able to get yourself out of sight quickly by using this skill is handy. Plus it looks badass." I giggled. "I'm usually not the one who helps train in this area but I'm able enough since CC's busy." We both looked over to CC as he up ended his water bottle. He seemed to be a bit moody today.

"Oh CC is the one who specializes in this?" I asked. More stuff just kept getting added to CC badass-ery.

"Yeah, or Andy." I snapped my head back to Ashley at hearing Andy's name.

What?! Really?! Why wasn't he helping me then?! My insides were doing flawless backhand springs. I was somehow able to keep myself calm on the outside.

"Andy teaches this?" I tried to keep cool. Ashely grinned.

"Yeah believe it or not. You'd think with his height it'd be difficult for him, but he makes it look easy." Well that just added a new fantasy scenario. Ashley started to laugh.

"What?" I asked. Snapping back to reality.

"Jake wasn't kidding. You got it bad for him." He laughed some more and I narrowed my eyes. Ashley held up his hands in surrender. "Easy there killer! Don't make it so obvious if you don't want everyone to know." I crossed my arms in front of my chest. I didn't stop glaring. "You're wasting your time darling, Andy's...difficult." He seemed to choose his word carefully. It made me curious but I didn't want to discuss Andy now, I wanted to learn.

"Are you here to help me or give me relationship advice?" I asked and Ashely gave me an apologetic smile.

"You're right. I'm sorry. Let's start with the basics."

Ashley helped me immensely. We started out with ground tumbling, like forward and backward rolls. Moving to hand stands next. That took me a bit to become steady at. Ashley suggested I work out my arms a bit, he thought pull ups might help. That way I'd be able to support my weight easier.

I enjoyed working with Ashley. I half expected him to be the man I met the first night but he was all business. He wasn't strict though, we did converse easily and my entire opinion of the man I thought he was changed.

So far I liked Ashley. He seemed sweet, and genuine. He's a great coach and encouraged me to exceed my expectations for myself. He's nothing like the playboy he was the night of our test. He even asked my permission before touching me, when he assisted me. Respecting my body, something no man's ever done.

After my first training session with Ashely finished I couldn't keep the smile off my face. I'd accomplished my backhand spring goal and now had a routine decided on how to grow my gymnastic skills. Ashley said he was going to set up a challenge for me for next time. I was excited to see what it was.

Tony called out to me as we were all exiting the gym. Even though we'd had a five hour training session my body was still humming. I wanted to keep going. Tony was all smiles like usual and Lotus gave me a smirk as he approached.
