Later after the class was over and Raine stood waiting for Natalia to get her gear together, Natalia could see that Raine was still mulling over what was going on. When Natalia gestured that they could go, Raine pushed off the wall, walking over to take Natalia’s gear bag out of her hand, and leaned in to kiss her softly on the lips, the same as she would any other night.

Some of the girls from Raine’s group, Cat, Jovina and Jerry were still out in the gym when they came out.

“Everything okay?” Cat asked, having noticed Natalia’s tension and the girls flirting with Raine during class and Raine’s complete oblivion when it came to them.

Raine nodded, and Natalia glanced up at her.

“Did you not notice?” Natalia asked.

“Notice what…” Raine asked, her look cautious.

“Wait, what did you notice?” Natalia asked, sensing that she and Raine were not talking about the same thing.

“Okay, let’s move this outside,” Cat said, noting that people were watching the exchange closely, and thinking that this was not something that should be said inside the gym.

Cat lead them outside, Jovina and Jerry stayed back, sensing that Cat was there to referee the argument they felt brewing.

Natalia turned to Raine, looking up at her.

“So what did you notice?” she asked, her hands on her hips.

Raine looked back at her for a long moment, her look almost amused by Natalia’s stance, which served to only further irritate Natalia. She saw Natalia’s eyes narrow and had to stifle the laugh that threatened to come out.

“What I noticed was you estar loca tonight.” Raine said, her tone completely devoid of any kind of accusation.

“Me?” Natalia said, her voice raised.

Raine rolled her eyes and nodded.

Natalia launched in a series of expletives all in Spanish, which had Raine looking at her like she was insane.

“Okay, okay,” Cat said stepping between them, before Natalia launched an all-out offensive against Raine, who very obviously had no idea what this was about.

“Raine,” Cat said, looking at the other woman, “What has Natalia sputtering over there is that those girls in the class that were paying so much attention to you tonight were flirting with you.”

“Huh?” Raine said, looking genuinely confused.

“They were flirting with you meija!” Natalia exclaimed.

“What, why?” Raine asked.

“Aye dios mio!” Natalia exclaimed, throwing up her hands.

Raine looked at Cat, “They are interested in Talia, not me, why would they flirt with me?”

Cat looked over at Natalia, “She has a point.”

“Que? De que estas hablando?” Natalia said.

“Babe, she has no idea what you just said,” Raine said.

“I got some of it,” Cat said, grinning.

“What are you talking about?” Natalia asked, trying not to grin at Raine’s input.

“They were probably flirting with her to piss you off,” Cat said.

Natalia stared back at Cat open mouthed. Then she looked over at Raine, who simply looked back at her calmly.

“And I did exactly what they wanted…” Natalia said.

“Yep, you got mad at your girl, instead of them,” Cat said.

Natalia looked flabbergasted, then looked over at Raine again and walked over to her, putting her arms around Raine’s waist and leaning her head against her chest.
