"It's part of the agreement you signed when you agreed to participate as an understudy in the dance. We can't have anystray hairs poking through your costume. Those suits are tight and HD catches everything."
Jimmy pulled on the wax and it felt like a layer of my skin came with it. I gritted my teeth and tried not to scream again.
"See, it's not so bad," said Tim. "The only bad part is when he does your package, but I'm sure Jimmy will be gentle. It's worth it for the results though. Alina will love it."
"Nope, I'm not doing this."
"You're really not going to do this after all I've done to help you with this tiebreaker? Not cool, Bryce. Not cool at all."
Tim was right. I had asked an awful lot from him for this tiebreaker and he hadn't even flinched. And now he was just asking me for this one thing. Even if it was a full body wax, I couldn't say no.
"Alright, fine," I said. "But after this we're even."
"Deal. Gentlemen, will you please excuse me for a minute? I need to use the restroom." Tim got up, wrapped his towel around himself, and left the room, leaving me to endure the pain of a full body wax by myself.
Going For Gold - Chapter 31
Saturday
Alina
The heat in the sauna was super relaxing. Tim really did know just what we needed after losing.Stupid Gabriela.
"You're falling for him, aren't you?" Kristen asked.
I opened my eyes and smiled. "I am."
"Did you two bang this afternoon?"
I laughed. "No. I was too busy crying hysterically."
"I figured."
"What about you and Tim?"
Kristen sighed. "It was weird. I was being super seductive. It was like he didn't understand any of my cues. God I'm so horny."
I wasn't at all surprised that Tim didn't understand a woman's cues for wanting sex. "Weird."
"I think he's doing a self-inflicted sex ban so we both perform well tomorrow or something. That's the only explanation I can think of."
Or he's gay?"That makes sense. He's super into the performance. I was thinking after we're done at the spa I might try to take things to the next level with Bryce."
"Well, good luck with that. If Tim has a sex ban, I'm sure he's put it on his understudy too."
"Geez. The only good part about having a silver medal is that it means the games are over and we can have sex again." I sighed and rested my head against the wall behind me. "I feel like I'm going to internally combust."
"So I'm not the only one."
"Having sex with Bryce is literally all I can think about right now."
"Good. I'm glad you're not thinking about the game. Besides, we still have another shot at crushing her and Brazil. So really, we should just pretend the game never happened."
"You mean you have another shot at crushing her and Brazil," I said.
"Right. But it'll be a victory for both of us."
"It is going to be fantastic seeing her face when you win."
