Enrolling on that open-24-hours gym had certainly been one of the best decisions that Bluebell Madonna had taken all year, last year. With her hectic schedule, it was hard to tell when she would have time to hit the gym and she couldn’t afford the luxury of having a two-hour time slot in his day, every day, at the same hours. And that was one of the few fitness centers in New York that never closed, so she needn’t worry about punctuality anymore. Yet that was not the only reason that made her choose that specific gym. It had a huge swimming pool underground that was also open for use all night long. An avid swimmer since childhood, Bluebell couldn’t decline the opportunity of having a swimming pool all to herself, all night (for that was the time in which the gym had fewer attendees, and, usually, the time slot that he had available for exercising).
That was another one of those long nights that she spent at the gym. Swimming, or simply enjoying the calm and the silence that the lonely pool provided… It was something, she found, that helped keep her mind away from issues that she wanted to avoid, at least for the time being. And most importantly, exercising kept her away from, not just thoughts, but a habit that she had been trying to avoid, as of recent… And so, there she was, in the silent, isolated pool. After having done a few rounds, she found herself quietly contemplating… That is before her train of thought was cut off by an abrupt noise in the distance. Someone seemed to be coming by the desolated pool area… No one was supposed to be there at that hour. Well, no one except herself and herself only.
Curious, and slightly worried, she immediately asked, ❛ Who’s there? ❜

SOMETIMES, evelyn was a 5am pilates type of girl–– but most of the time, she was fighting her sleep in many ways. being at the gym at such a late hour was not out of the norm for evie considering her schedule had been royally messed up since she moved from one side of the world to the other. she never truly adjusted–– or perhaps, she never truly had a good sleep schedule stemming from her childhood. either way, being up at these hours was just another normal night for evie. she had grown up surrounded by the salty Mediterranean sea in Spain, missing the days she could run out of her house and down the sandy roads to the ocean. the water always brought her comfort from the sound of the waves, the crisp air and all of the memories she had growing up.
the closest offered to her at these hours was the 24hour gym she was enrolled at. she made do, that’s for sure. the brunette pulled her hair back into a tight bun as the music in her headphones took over any thoughts of worry. evie walked along the olympic sized pool, noticing the blonde from far away. she minded her business, placing her things down at the other end of the pool. she pulled her headphones off, placing them on the bench and approaching the edge of the deepest side of the pool. evie stared down at the clear water, looking at her reflection before she took a deep breath and jumped in, swimming to the bottom of the pool before she burst through the surface and turned around face-to-face with the now unsettled blonde. she shook her head, wiping her eyes off.
❝ forgive me–– i should’ve announced myself. i didn’t mean to frighten you ! ❞ she tells her.
