"You look beautiful," said Cindy. Judy nodded in agreement.
"You're going to do awesome," agreed Annie.
Kristen smiled at me. "Time to go win gold."
Going For Gold - Chapter 35

"By the way, there's a high probability that you'll be totally freaked out by Bryce's outfit," said Kristen as we approached the door to go backstage.
"Oh God. Did Tim put all the backup dancers in man thongs?" A picture of Bryce wearing a man thong flashed through my head. "Actually, maybe that wouldn't be so bad."
"Uh, not quite."
I held the door open for Kristen and then went through. I immediately saw what she was talking about. In the corner, Tim was leading a group of men in American flag morph suits doing jumping jacks.
"Please tell me that's not them," I said.
"Who else would it be?"
"Fair enough. How do I know which one's Bryce?"
"Just look for whichever one gets a boner first when they see you. Those suits don't exactly provide much coverage down there."
My eyes immediately gravitated to their crotches. Kristen was right - I could see a pretty clear outline of all their packages.So that's why Tim chose these suits.
One of them turned to look at me. "Hey, eyes up here," he said.
"I'm sure she would say the same thing to you if she could see where your eyes were looking under that creepy mask," said Kristen.
The guy shrugged. "Alina, you look stunning."
"I hope you're Bryce," I said.
He laughed. "Of course I'm Bryce. How could you not recognize me?" He gestured toward his morph suit.
"Maybe because all I can see is the outline of your penis?"
"Then after the dance we need to get you more familiar with that part of me." Bryce didn't bother to hide the fact that he was looking me up and down.
"Just because I'm dressed like a whore doesn't mean you're going to get lucky," I said and touched his arm. I would never get tired of feeling his biceps. Despite my playful banter, Bryce was 100 percent getting lucky tonight.
"How else would we celebrate you crushing Gabriela?" He put his hand on the side of my face.
I wished I could see his eyes. They always seemed to comfort me. And I was so nervous. "Good point. Did her scores come in yet?"
"No, I think she's still dancing. Let's take a peek." Bryce pulled me towards the curtain and pushed it aside the tiniest bit to give us a look out on stage.
We were on the side of the stage rather than the back, so I couldn't see the audience, but I had a perfect view of Gabriela dancing around like a slut with a bunch of shirtless, oiled up men. Shockingly, she still had her skirt and her bra on, but it took all of three seconds for her to go to center stage and rip her skirt off. Her thong was just as revealing as mine, but she made it way worse by immediately turning around and doing some samba move that made her ass jiggle all over the place. As much as I hated to admit it, she was a great dancer.
"Ew," I said.Shit, does Bryce like watching this?"You better not have a boner right now."
"If he doesn't now, he definitely will after he sees your lingerie," said Kristen.
I turned around and looked at Bryce's package. He put his hands up to prove that he wasn't getting turned on. "Don't worry, Gabriela's disgusting."
