The olympians forbidden young love

A little dip

Clara’s POV

Sure enough as I walked into the pub my mum was there ready to pounce.

‘Where have you been? Do you have any idea what time it is.’

‘Sorry mum I know, I was working at the yard, sorry I should have called’

‘No you should have been home, don’t you have homework?’

I tried not to roll my eyes, we were in the pub kitchen and the other staff were trying to look like they weren’t eavesdropping. ‘Your dinners upstairs but it’s cold.’ She turned back to the over ‘I’m working, I don’t have time for this today’.

‘Ok, sorry again mum.’ I headed upstairs feeling miserable. Atleast she didn’t seem to have heard I was on a motor bike I guess. I was starving, cold pasta bake! Yum. I was too hungry to heat it up so I grabbed a fork and started eating straight out the dish- life was going well haha. I reached for my phone to tell Gia- at least she’d understand, and I could tell her about the ride too. My phone wasn’t in my pocket, I patted the other… damn. Maybe it fell out on the ride back? Then I remembered- I’d put it on the side when I was mucking out so I wouldn’t drop it in a stable.

I couldn’t really leave it there… but then maybe Johannes wouldn’t want me snooping round at night? But I can’t let him know I’m going either because I only have his number on my phone… great.

I stuffed a bit more pasta bake in my mouth… better to just get this over with quick. I knocked on my sisters door. ‘Do you mind if I sneak out your window?’. Anna looked up from her book.

‘Sure’. My sister’s awesome- she always helps me sneak around when needed.

‘Thanks, I left my phone at the yard but mum’s already mad at me… if she notices I’m gone just let her know but hopefully ill be back before she does’ I explain as I swing myself over her window sill onto the garage roof.

‘Mmm’ she replies, back to reading her book. I can’t tell if she was actually listening but I’ll be quick anyway.

I jog all the way but as I get to the gate I hear a motor bike coming up the road. ‘Not him please not him’ I whisper to myself.

‘What the hell are you doing here?!’

I flinch. He sounds furious… nothing like the guy I was with all afternoon.

‘I forgot my phone, I’m so sorry, I’ll come back tomorrow’ I stammer turning to run. He grabs my arm.

‘I’m sorry, Clara’. I can’t look at him because tears are forming in my eyes… stupid school girl!

‘Clara, it’s not you. My dad just…. Well… I’m not angry at you. Something happened, its fine though, do you know where you left it?’

His voice is soft again, though he sounds tired. ‘On the shelves near Prince’s stable’.

‘Just the man I was here to see’ he smiles, ‘come on sweetheart let’s get it’ he says unlocking the gate. We walk over together in silence, and it’s on the shelf where I thought… 3 missed calls from my mum… no wonder she was annoyed. Johannes walks up to Prince and rests his forehead against the horse’s face, Prince lets out a soft nicker, gently nudging his owner.

‘Are you ok?’ I can’t help but ask. Johannes eyes are shut.

‘My father’s the worst. My mother too actually’, he sighs. ‘I’ve just had the pleasure of seeing my father with another woman… someone I thought was my friend. And my mother… she doesn’t care. I remember the first time I found out he was cheating on her I was 9. I ran and told her and she smiled, and said people with that much money always like to have a little fun but he’s a family man at heart and loves us both.’

I stood there a bit shocked. Sometimes he’s so professional and cold with me and sometimes so close and warm and now it’s getting dark and we’re alone together and he wants to tell me his life story? He’s still stood with his horse, his eyes shut.

I should probably just go, but I’m so drawn to him, I’ve never been around someone so impressive. I take a deep breath and take two steps forwards, standing closely next to him I put my hand on his shoulder and lean lightly against him. ‘That sucks’ I sum up with all the wisdom my 17 years have given me to deal with something like this.

He chuckles and turns to me pulling me gently into a hug against his body, his face resting on my hair breathing in. This feels amazing. I wrap my arms around his waist and we just stand there for a minute. I feel him sigh, I scared he’ll pull away and leave. ‘Would you like to go to my favourite place?’ I ask. He steps back looking a bit suspicious.

‘Its just… well it’s an old flooded quarry just 5 minutes up a track from here… I’ve lived here my whole life and its my favourite place, its surrounded by trees and so peaceful’. I stop talking, of course this 20 something year old full grown man does not want to go to a flooded quarry ay 9 at night.

‘Sounds perfect’ he says, ‘lead the way’ placing a hand in mine.

Johannes POV

When I saw her looking sneaky at the yard gate I kind of flew off the handle- two betrayals was more than even I could handle in one night, but I should have trusted my instincts, this girl’s cute. She’d rather sneak up here at night to search for her phone than make it anyone else’s problem.

Price was the first horse I ever won any top competitions on, and I’ve had him so long he feels like family to me, normally just standing with him for a couple of seconds calms me from whatever’s upset me, but tonight with her stood there so close I just needed more- I wasn’t going to do anything though but when she leaned against me I just had to hold her. So I broke my promise about not touching her within a couple of hours of making it. Great. It was only going to be a quick hug but she felt so comforting snuggled up in my arms, within seconds my bad mood was gone and I felt excited to have her so close. I could have stayed like that for hours ut she obviously felt awkward and suggested the quarry- well where else would I go?

She lead me up the lane from the yard and then through a small gap in the hedge between two houses. As it’s summer its still pretty light and warm, but no one was around at this time. There was a little path through some trees and suddenly it opened out to a mossy pool. It looked more like someone had carved a fancy swimming pool into the rock than a quarry, although it was too big to look like something you’d have in your garden. A small stream cascaded down the rock face like a water feature filling the pool, the water looked clear enough to drink. I smiled, how did somewhere like this exist so close yet so perfectly hidden. She smiled at me, ‘So… fancy a dip?’

‘Is it safe? I don’t want to be having to rescue you’ I nearly said again but bit my tongue, the truth is I’m not actually the best swimmer.

She laughed, though not maliciously, ‘How about a race?’

Well this wasn’t going well… ‘Hmm, how about you go first and I’ll judge how cold it is by your reaction?’

She shot me a wicked grin, she looked the most confident I’d ever seen her. ‘Chicken’ she whispered, pulling off her shoe. My breath hitched, she turned away from me and stripped down to her underwear- lacy but luckily not showing too racy! I don’t think I could have held it together! I tried not to look but her body was perfect. She had perfect curves and her butt… don’t get me started. She glanced over her shoulder and I looked away quickly, she giggled once more then dived straight in, barely making splash.

She did a cute little forward roll the swum back to the bank grinning… ‘Well?’ She c****d an eyebrow at me. The sky was beginning to turn pink and seeing her in the pool looking so inviting was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.

‘You asked for it’ I smiled, stripping down to my briefs, I then jumped over her head and splashed her with my best bomb. The water wasn’t as cold as I expected! I swam back to her, trying not to splash around and show my lack of skill. ‘Tsch, ready for the race?’ she asked, still smiling.

‘Sure’ I rolled my eyes, ‘Ok in start position… on three… one… two… three!’ As she pushed off from the bank I grabbed her leg, pulling her back and pushing myself forwards past her and heading to the opposite bank as fast as I could, about 4m out she went flying past me, swimming like a pro. She beat me to the end then turned back and tried to dunk me under, but I saw it coming and put my feet to the bottom so as she pressed down on my shoulders I just pulled her into my arms laughing.

‘Ok ok, you won’. She went still in my arms, suddenly looking shy again.

‘Well did it cheer you up, coming here?’

‘More than I thought possible’, I replied staring into her eyes. She was right in front of me, her breasts too visible swelling up to the surface of the water, if we stayed here I was going to kiss her… and more! If she’d let me. I could feel my crotch starting to twitch, she was so close in front of me I was risking her feeling it too at this rate! And I can’t do it, I can not go out with someone this young, it would be taking advantage. ‘We should get you home to your family little one, it’s a school night after all’.

She blinked, looking slightly hurt by my sudden change of tone, ‘Plus Prince told me he wanted to take you gallop training tomorrow’ I said with a smile, trying to get the tone back to friendly and take my mind off all the things I wanted to do to the beautiful semi naked girl in front of me.

We were quiet getting dressed and walking back to the bike, I handed her my spare helmet without even asking, and drove as slow as I could back to hers, enjoying the feeling of her body against my back. When we got to her house I took my helmet off as she did, and when she went to hand hers back to me I held her hand for a second, looking into her eyes ‘Thank you again Clara, that was perfect’ I quickly kissed her cheek then put my helmet on and drove off before I could see her reaction. Tomorrow I would need to work harder to get things back to a ‘just friends’ level, but just right now I was going to enjoy the happiness swelling in my chest after what started out as a terrible night. I was also going to need to take a long cold shower!
