Knocked out of course (Girlxgirl)

Where it all started - Sam's POV

(Warning: Cursing)

I can't forget the moment it all started for me.
It seemed like just any other of our usual hangouts in our favorite coffee shop.
With go other as often as we can to get together, talk, people watch or even make up stories for the people passing by and the ones that for some reason are in the park across the street.
It was in one of those days that I first saw her and holy shit I don't think I will ever forget how she looked on that day.
We were seating in our usual table by the window. It was me, Lewis (my best friend), Robert (Lewis' boyfriend) and Tamara (my cousin) we were waiting for the last element of our little group to arrive. So while we were waiting for Sidney we were making small talk, updating each other on what happened in the few days that we were apart.
"So! How have you been Sammie?" Robert asked bringing me back into the conversation.
I shrugged dismissevly "Same as usual."
I wasn't in the mood to talk about what they really wanted to know so I acted like I didn't know and hoped they would get the hint.
After a while I sighed starting to get impatient. "Is Sidney going to take long?"
They shared a look. "Oh you don't know?" Tamara asked with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "She's going to be late. She's in one of those self defense classes in the park." She informed me tilting her head in the direction of the park. "She won't shut up about the hot new instructor." She chuckled while giving me a look that told me there was more to that story and she was definitely going to use it against me.
I dismissed the thought deciding to look in the direction of the park instead. I could only see a bunch of ladies talking giddily. I frowned in confusion there didn't seem to be anyone giving any instructions.
I gave my cousin a questioning look. There it was that mischievous smirk she always wore when she was teasing me. "Looks like it's about to start."
I returned my attention back out to the place she had pointed out earlier. There was a tall guy approaching the head of the class. He wasn't bad looking but he wasn't Sidney's type either. He had light brown short hair, shaved at the sides, he had a light complexion, he was kind of on the skinny side even tho you could tell he worked out.
I frowned once again this seemed like a trap. I heard a giggle coming from my best friend that was sitting to my left. "Wait for it." That was all he said but I could hear the amusement in his voice. I narrowed my eyes at him not even getting a glance in return everyone was focused looking out of the window. So I did the same.
When he finally stopped walking, turning the direction of the waiting women, I saw a much shorter figure coming to stand by his side. I stared at her completely taken by surprise. Even tho she was much shorter then the guy, yet her aura seemed a lot more stronger and it seemed to capture people's attention. While the guy was taller he was also much skinnier then her if the broad shoulders and very defined arms were any indication. I licked my lips my attention never leaving the girl.
She said something to the group from what I could tell they were getting ready to do some warm up exercises. I took in her olive skin, dark brown hair that was in a long pony tail the only hair free was her bangs which were now being pinned away from her eyes.
The pair started demonstrating exercises that the group then repeated, that's where the pair separated to correct postures and give notes.
I have no idea for how long I had been staring but when I finally looked away my friends were looking at me with this goofy satisfied smiles on their faces.
I raised an eyebrow at them. "What?" I asked self consciously.
"Oh by all means don't stop on our account." Robert said wearing a smug smile.
"What?" I snapped at them feeling embarassed when I noticed they were all wearing similar expressions.
"Oh nothing! You just really seemed to be enjoying the view." Tamara teased making me blush.
I cleared my throat trying to get myself back together.
"Which one is the instructor?"
The table broke out into laughs. I looked at them in turn feeling the confusion sinking into my brow.
"What? What's so funny?" I demanded annoyed at them. They only laughed harder. "What the hell?" I thought to myself.
Lewis was the first to recover the amused sparkle remaining in his eyes. I was pretty sure I was about to get teased.
I stared at him bracing myself to what he was about to say but gave him a impatient glare. His answer was an unaffected shrug. "You were staring at the girl for over 10 minutes and you didn't figure it out?"
"I did not." I answered defensively. They shared looks between amusement and mischievousness in their faces.
"Tamara how long was it?" Robert asked while trying to take a look at her phone his signature smirk on his face.
"The timer says 13:07 but taking into consideration we didn't start right away I reckon it was around 20 minutes." She laughed again.
My brain froze for a second. "20 minutes? There's no way I was staring at her for that long."
"Oh wow I see what Sidney means." That was enough to snap me out of my thoughts. From what I know both Tamara and Sidney are straight, while Robert is pansexual and Lewis is gay.
"Yup I totally get it." "Wait that was Lewis."I thought to myself surprised. "What's happening?" I looked between my friends face but they were all focused outside.
I felt Lewis nudging on the ribs with his elbow. "Don't look now but she took of her tank top." He whispered to me.
If my head had turned any faster I would have got whiplash. When my eyes landed on the girl I'm pretty sure my brain short circuited. "Holy shit, that girl is ripped and those tattoos." My thoughts only got crazier after that. I could feel myself growing warm and the blush on my face spreading fast.
"Oh wow" I muttered under my breath taken back by just how much I reacted to seeing her shirtless. I could hear my friends talking by I couldn't make out the words. I was all too aware of the self defense instructor standing on the park.
Her skin was covered in a thin layer of sweat that along with the sun was illuminating her skin making her seem like a goddess. I could see her powerful muscles dancing underneath her skin with every movement she made.
I was bitting my lip and I could feel my blush growing deeper. "I can totally understand what Sidney said. Ugh no one should be that hot." I felt a hand on my shoulder cut through the fog in my mind.
"Earth to Samantha" the voices of my three friends said in unison. I looked away from the vision behind the window, trying to focus back on my friends. I probably looked dazed and flushed but I didn't care that was until I noticed Tamara pointing her phone in my direction.
"What the fuck are you recording me?" I asked much louder then I intended to.
"You should have seen your face." She laughed. "Oh wait you can!" She announced proudly turning the phone around so the screen was facing me.
In the video I saw myself looking out the window with an awestruck look on my face, licking my lips and blushing.
I tried to grab the phone but she pulled it away giggling like a maniac. "Oh My God! Delete that." I covered my face with my hands.
"Huh huh, not going to happen" She smirked devishly not taking her eyes away from her phone "and sent." She stated triumphantly. The phones that were resting on the table beeped with an incoming message.
Realization hit me. "You didn't!" I threw her a death glare. "Oh you bet your ass I did." I slumped back into my chair in defeat.
I saw Sidney approaching our table so I glanced outside my eyes automatically searching for the brunette but she was nowhere to be seen, she had left me behind with a need to see her again.
