Learning To Swim For Real by TaniHanes

Kelsey Carlisle is a little bit famous. And a little bit spoiled. She's a beautiful girl, a model who's acted in a few movies, but whom no one takes seriously. She now has a chance to be in a "real" movie about an Olympic swimmer. Except that Kelsey isn't a great swimmer. So she needs a coach. Enter Jack. Jack LaGuardia is a great swimmer. But he's very serious, studious, and doesn't really have time for someone as silly and superficial as Kelsey. He does agree that Kelsey is beautiful, but so what? She's also spoiled, shallow, and not very bright. He could never be interested in her. ?? "Okay," he said. "You go get ready, and point me toward the pool." "What do you mean?" Kelsey asked in confusion. She looked down at herself. She was already wearing a suit, a nice one, too. Though, come to think of it, he hadn't spared her bikini-clad body a second glance. "You can't mean you're going to swim in that?" he said. His eyes took her in, from head to toe, but instead of the admiration she was used to getting, he was looking--what--amused? "What?" she demanded. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" "Well, um, you're supposed to be a real swimmer, right?" he asked, hands on hips. "I mean, you're going to play one? At Kelsey's nod he continued. "Okay, well, there's no way a real swimmer would work out in that. And your hair needs to be up in a cap. And you need goggles." "No way." The words were out of her mouth before she could stop herself. "I've seen those work out suits, and I can't be seen in one of those, they look awful. They cut into your skin, and they mash down your--your, um, body." Kelsey looked down at her chest. "And I can't put my hair up in a cap. They're ugly! Same for the goggles. No one will be able to see my face if I'm wearing those." They faced each other in the living room. This was not going to work. She needed a new coach. Immediately, if not sooner. ?? And thanks to @xrainynights for the lovely cover!

Between the Days and Nights ✔ by ObsessedwFiction

"So I can ask you anything?" I gulp a large amount of saliva. "Yes, I'm a virgin." She doesn't even turn to see my reaction, which is a blank face, blinking in bewilderment. Not what I expected but good to know. "Why did you think I was going to ask that?" "I don't like assumptions, but if I am at a party like this hosted by a person that I've heard enough for you to be, I would think you'd look into hooking up with someone by the end of the night." She turns over, finally, with the light of the moon sparkling in her eyes. "By the way," she says with a grin, "No thanks." Tam is just trying to stay in her own lane as she lives with the constant bullying of her ex-bff, Natasha. She puts on a strong face to keep from worrying her Vietnamese-only speaking mother. When two of the most popular jocks in school fall for her, she finds herself in a tough spot. Over time, she finds it more and more difficult to choose, as she can't think straight when she's around one guy, but she's just as weak in the knees when she's with the other. Meanwhile, she has to deal with a past that she's ignored for much too long, bringing up old wounds to fix new ones.
