We stared at each other until Dinah grinned a little and walked closer to me. She had promised to teach me a few self-defense things. I just didn’t think I would feel so out of place and self-conscious when putting them into practice.
“What’s wrong?” She asked, noticing my hesitance.
“I’ve never done this before” I muttered, clumsily putting my fists up emulating her ready stance that I had seen many times.
Dinah laughed a little, holding my wrists to move my hands so they protected my face. Then she stood before me, settling in the same pose.
“I’ll go easy on you” She playfully swatted my hands away.
“Shut up” I scowled, slapping hers from my reach when I noticed she wanted to tease me again.
“Remember everything I told you” When I did, Dinah turned serious once more. Nonetheless, the ghost of her smile lingered on her lips.
I nodded my head, taking a deep breath and preparing for her to attack. All the pieces of advice she had previously given me floated in my mind as I tried to recall every single one.
“Watch out” Was all the warning she gave me before stricking.
At an amazing speed, her leg kicked up and I could barely hold my foremarms up to block the attack. Dinah uttered a sound of approval as she tried once again.
For several more seconds we moved back and forth, blocking and attacking each other. Mildly impressed by my accomplishments, she made a face and nodded her head. I failed to realize that was another warning.
Escalating the training, Dinah swept my feet off the floor. I lost balance and she took advantage of this by wrapping one leg around mine and completely throwing me to the ground.
“Shit!” I complained, breathing heavily from the physical exertion.
She stayed on top of me, smiling a little and panting just like I was, although not as violently. Her grin slowly faded away as she looked into my eyes. I then could feel the tension myself. I didn’t realize how close we were until that moment.
I opened my mouth to say something, but she beat me to it.
“Can I kiss you?” Dinah asked, not moving from her position locking me against the ground.
I nodded breathlessly and felt my heart racing when her lips touched mine. It was a very different feeling from all the movement, but my lungs still begged for air even as I was recovering from the physical effort. All because of our kiss.
We stayed there for a bit longer, mouths still pressed together, until Dinah gently backed away. We smiled at each other in silence before she offered her hand to me.
“You still have a lot to learn” Dinah said, pulling me up as soon as my hand fell over hers.
“I don’t mind” I smirked, finally relaxing for the first time. “I think my teacher likes me”
