Swimming at the Crossroads

Our school was being announced over the sound system and within seconds, we were grinning and shrieking and jumping… Hell…we had won! We had beaten the WGHS, universal champions and mega stars, keepers of the most divine codes of the inner sanctum and all known precious stones, even in the hated backstroke, at which we were internationally famous as the worst in history and were life time holders of the Solid Lead Water Wings Award for long time Australian losers in any event. What a day it was, we had started it in a daze and we were ending it in another kind of daze, a very sweet daze and a big surprise for everyone.                      

I had no way of knowing that this day’s surprises had only just begun, there were two more in store for me.

The team had jumped and shrieked and hugged and kissed and squeezed each other for a long time, we had listened to a couple of boring speeches and then we each received a medal with a little ribbon attached and a scroll for our school merit board and we were soon below decks jumping about again, but this time under warm running water, I took a little longer than usual under the shower head, but I was feeling good and enjoying the win and the warmth, by the time I got out and found my bag of clothes and other useful bits and pieces, most of the girls had already flown.

I was half drying myself with the towel and half scrimmaging through my bag for panties when I heard a voice behind me, I turned around and there was Megan smiling sweetly and wrapped up in her towel, I could feel my face beginning to glow and was certain that it was turning bright crimson, but I felt so good about everything, that I didn’t care very much what I looked like. She took my arm and turned me to her and then gave me a hug, “you were great today,” she said. “Fantastic.” I quickly replied with “You were the great one, you swam better than ever today.” She smiled a great big smile that showed her beautiful straight white teeth and her full shining lips, and before I knew it, she was pulling me towards her and hugged me again, very close and very tightly, I instinctively glanced around the change rooms, and noticed that the others had all left the room, and for the first time ever, Megan and I were alone and in each others arms, I could feel my heart beating in my chest and I could hear the blood coursing inside my waterlogged ears, but my heart almost stopped dead when I felt her soft palm and her finger tips on the back of my neck and her lips sweeping down my left cheek to the side of my neck, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, was this happening?,
