can't stop the feeling
i got that sunshine in my pocket
For the whole silent moment, Lena contemplated leaving entirely before Natalie moved and wrapped her arms around Lena. The redhead melted into the embrace, her arms wrapping around the brunette. "Jesus Christ." Lena breathed out in relief, burying her face in Natalie's neck.
The entire time they weren't speaking, Lena had really worried that she had lost the brunette as a friend. Now, with Natalie back in her arms this way, Lena's relief was palpable.
"Likewise." Lena said after a while before she pulled apart to place a sloppy kiss on Natalie's cheek. "How are you?" She asked, moving her arms from around Natalie so she could cup the brunette's face. "How have you been?"

Lena was hyperaware of her surroundings more than usual so when Natalie greeted her, Lena was quick to turn to the trainer. Her smile was reciprocated with a slightly cautious one.
She raised a hand to the trainer before inching closer. "Hi." She responded.
"May I...?" She asked as she gestured to the space between them, indicating she wanted to close it. Whatever they were about to do had to be on Natalie's terms because the brunette knew where the redhead stood. Sort of.

As much of a bummer as it had been having to stay away from Natalie the past couple of weeks, Lena tried to keep to her normal routine as much as possible. She missed Natalie something awful but she wanted to respect her friend's wishes.
So it was an absolute surprise when Lena arrived at the yoga studio to find Natalie already stretching on her mat. Lena just stood by the door, not knowing what to do.
She briefly contemplated on leaving but the morning slot was the only time she could fit in a stretch today. She pressed the heel of her palm against her brow bone and smoothed it over before walking in. She kept quiet as she unrolled her mat a ways away from Natalie. It was unlike Lena to be so cautious but after what had happened between them, she didn't know what to do anymore.

Lena rolled her eyes at Damian. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." She responded flatly, though agreeing with his assessment one hundred percent. They only worked because they were both on the same level of fucked-upness.
"You are so crass. Can't a lady get one night of class?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, knowing the answer to the question already. Damian didn't do class. Hell, Lena didn't either. Their banter consisted of this constantly.
"You're damn right." She smirked, slapping his ass after his shoulder squeeze. "So, tell me what you're gonna do to me later and do we need a safe word tonight?"

The hours and days weren't so bad. Her weekend classes always started late anyway. If it did end up clashing, she could always ask her sub to step in.
As he continued, Lena nodded and took note of what he said and gave him a smile at the end. "Good." She responded. "I'm looking forward to working with you Luca. Any chance you'll smile at least once while the club stands?" She teased lightly.

Lena laughed loudly at his response and shrugged. "You're a horrible man, Damian. Although my being your best friend says more about me than it does about you so." She lifted her shoulders and palms upwards in a "What can you do" gesture.
"But how dare you say that? My pussy doesn't discriminate. You give me orgasms, I don't care how you look. That's the deal."
Lena leaned into his touch and wrapped her arm around his waist. Laughing, she shook her head. "You don't do chasing, Damian. And besides, am I really walking away if you know exactly where I'm going?" She raised an eyebrow, a smirk displayed on her very red lips.

"Luca's your friend? I didn't think he had any of those." Lena chuckled as she looked towards the office where Luca always disappeared to.
They didn't have the rapport that Lena was hoping to have but it was still early days and the young man was going to break sooner or later. She just had to be patient.
"How was he when you were in school? He seems so tightly wound." Lena asked with a wrinkled nose.

Lena's relief at knowing Natalie wasn't breaking off their friendship was short-lived when the brunette said she needed a little time. At least she didn't say no. It was the small wins that Lena was going to hold on to.
Natalie's smile hurt because Lena knew it was forced but she gave one in return anyway. She nodded and called her puppies to her. They begrudgingly left their friends and stood at her heel.
"I can give you time. You know where to find me."
Lena had a strong urge to close the gap even further by hugging Natalie but she knew it was way too soon. "I'm really sorry, Nat. I wish I could give you what you want. You deserve the world."

Lena wasn't going to pretend that Natalie looking away from her didn't hurt. And then her response cut Lena a little deeper than she expected. Lena had never really entertained the idea of emotion behind sex because she already had that with her ex and that didn't end well.
She understood that people were different but if Lena couldn't deal with commitment with her ex, she didn't think she could handle commitment with anybody. She had fancied herself in love with her ex but she didn't love her enough to stay.
Natalie was a great girl, Lena loved her to bits but if she started to cling, Lena wouldn't know how to break it off gently. "Okay...that makes sense." Lena responded, careful not to show too much of any emotion.
"I won't pursue you anymore. But...is it at possible that we stay friends? You're one of the best ones I've had here and I don't want to lose that."

If she were being honest, she still didn't know what Natalie was asking her. She wanted to play dumb but she knew the brunette deserved an answer.
She stepped forward to close the gap between them, though leaving space so Natalie wouldn't feel uncomfortable. "I've wanted to kiss you since the first time I saw you. I didn't want to assume anything and then after that, timing just never felt right. That night...you said you wanted people to be more truthful, to act on what they feel and I did.
"I wanted you and frankly I still want you. We had fun that night. That's what I want."
She breathed out a soft sigh. "Am I wrong in assuming that that's what you want as well?"

She chuckled at his remark, not keeling over on her resolve. Lena felt oddly protective over the girls here and wouldn't want any of them to fall victim for Damian's charms. She had an understanding with Damian which wasn't for everyone.
"My God...you are my best friend...kill me now." She patted her chest dramatically while the other hand fanned her face in mock distress.
"Is that a threat or a promise?" Lena asked when she was pulled back. She turned her head to the side so she could look at him in her peripheral vision. She chuckled and shrugged at his question and request.
"Hmm, it is the least I can do." She grabbed the hand on her hip and pushed it down. "You really need to learn not to grab people, D. You're just lucky I actually like it." She bumped back against him and twisted away from his hold, throwing a wink over her shoulder as she headed towards the exit.
"Hut hut, bunny. Time's a wastin'. This body ain't gonna rock itself tonight."

His curt response caused Lena to pull a face. For someone not keen on formalities, the young man was definitely a little too rigid. It won't matter in the long run though, thought Lena. She would wear him down eventually.
She raised an eyebrow when the brunette silently built a wall between them with the crossed arms and she mimicked him, shifting all her weight to one foot. She wasn't too good at reading body language but his discomfort was coming off him in waves so she kept her distance while making sure she didn't look intimidated.
"My day job is in the mornings and afternoons. I'm assuming this place is open at night and...on weekends?" She asked. Places like these weren't built for every day business hours after all.

Lena nodded at her answer, impressed by the younger woman's training. When the question was turned back to her, Lena couldn't help but laugh and shrug. "Same as you, although most of my dance lessons back then were freestyle and hip hop."
Talking about her past always made her feel special about herself. She had been good enough to win major competitions and picked out of the crowd for a renowned dance troupe in a span of five years. She could brag about it every once in a while.
"I was part of a troupe in the UK for about five years before I came here." She added with a smile before wincing slightly when she over stretched a limb.
"My old body is rejecting my lifestyle though lately." She joked, giving out a chuckle as she gestured for Callie to pull her body forward after doing a split.
Lena looked up at Callie. "Did you find this place by flyer too?"

When Natalie finally spoke and told her that it wasn't about seeing other people, which frankly Lena didn't think was the problem either, the redhead had to wonder what else could be. Her further explanation didn't help either. It just made her even more confused.
"What do you mean, Nat?" She asked after Natalie's response died down.

As the dogs greeted each other happily with licks and yips, Lena noted the distant tone in Natalie's voice. She didn't blame the trainer but once again, she still wasn't sure where she went wrong.
Biting her lower lip, Lena tried to find the words to make this encounter less painful than it already was. "I haven't seen you around the yoga studio...I'm guessing that's...on purpose."
Yeah, that's definitely the way to go.
"Natalie...I know this is such a cop out but I don't know what I did wrong. Could you please tell me what I can do to make things right?" She sighed and swept her hand over her forehead as she felt the pinpricks behind her eyes. "I miss you."
