Tenacious Sky novel Chapter 9

Our deal was this: as long as it didn't interrupt my fencing practices, I would be stuck like glue to Leo. Apparently, his panic attacks could be random at times outside of the pool too. I didn't dare ask what happened. I was already pushing my luck just being able to stay here. On top of Leo keeping my secret, he also promised to help me stay out of trouble. Our deal ended with me getting dressed in my uniform early to follow Leo to his morning swim practice.

I sat on a dry bench as I watched the swim team go back and forth with laps in the pool. Easton noticed me about halfway through the practice as the second group started their laps.

"Sky? What are you doing here?" He asked confused. I had no answer for him. If I said I was just looking, it would be weird, and it wouldn't explain my future visits.

"Sky is my personal manager now," Leo said as he walked over dripping in pool water. I had to admit, both boys had nice bodies. They were toned and muscular but lean with broad shoulders. Although, Leo was taller than Easton and had more definition in his legs. I cleared my throat and looked away from them when I realized that I had been staring.

"What? Is this your way of bullying the new kid?" Easton asked defensively. Leo scoffed as he rolled his eyes.

"We made a bet and he lost. Sky is my kid now, and your laps are about to start," Leo explained. I had to admit, personal manager was a great excuse. Easton looked to me for help, but all he was met with was my apologetic eyes. Easton sighed before walking away as Leo sat next to me. I grabbed the extra towel beside me and handed it to him.
