First Fight

“I’ll be out in a sec,” Lace shouted irritably the next day when one of her boys banged his fist on her door again. “It’s not as easy to wear a skintight dress as you think, assholes.” Especially for someone like her. She couldn’t remember the last time she had to wear something that didn’t have leg holes. Maybe…high school graduation?

“I dunno…” It was Vasyl speaking. “They always seem easy to take off for me.”

The words had Lace rolling her eyes while outside her door, the guys were laughing. She stepped in front of the mirror when she finally managed to zip herself up. The dress was the girliest she had ever worn, a spaghetti-strapped flowery thing with a heart-shaped neckline and a loose skirt. It was brand new, and so were the frilly ballet flats they had her wear. How they were able to get their hands on the stuff, Lace didn’t even want to think about. She just hoped they hadn’t committed a crime over it.

Her fingers drifted over her skin, and she was grateful there were only the faintest marks on the places that Silver had claimed. Damn you, Silver March. But the thought had her more depressed than furious.

He hadn’t called her back, hadn’t sent her a single message since she had asked him to come. Did that mean—

Lace determinedly shoved the thought to the back of her mind. There was no point wasting time thinking about stuff she could never answer.

When she stepped out of her room, her boys whistled. “Good job, Alexio,” Ivan said, pounding his forward on the back. “You actually made Coach look like a girl.”

“Shut up,” Lace snarled. But actually, she was pretty impressed, too. Alexio had managed to style her normally unruly blonde hair into something painfully cute, and even the light makeup he had applied on her face was perfect. She glanced at her forward, asking bluntly, “Are you gay?”

Alexio choked. “No.”

Drew grinned. “As it turns out, Coach, Alexio here is the youngest in his family, and he has four older sisters. Over the years, they’ve managed to force him to learn girly stuff so he could help them with their jobs.”

“They’re all models,” Ivan clarified.

Alexio was rubbing his jaw contemplatively. “But I gotta say, I think I’ve outdone myself with Coach. I never thought I could make her look this good, too.”

“Do you guys want to run ten extra laps for tomorrow’s practice?” she asked sweetly, but everyone just laughed.

Damian checked the time. “We should start moving. They told us each team only has ten minutes with the photographer and if we miss it, the uni’s going to kill us.”

As they ran down the stairs, she threatened, “If I ever learn that you guys tricked me into wearing a dress and they didn’t actually require it…”

They all gave her angelic looks. “How could you think we’d do something like that to you?”

She said dryly, “You so could.” She checked her watch and set the time. “Might as well use this for practice.
