karina hadn’t been in off season in over a year , & now that the time had come around again , it felt more than foreign to her . she was doing as much as she could to keep busy - volunteering as a trainer at her gym to earn some extra cash , falling victim to her high school vices , & finding herself at the bougie new york city clubs she had yet to be aquatinted with . glazed over eyes are wandering throughout the busy club as she tries her best to make it over to the bar for another shot , but she’s too focused on looking around her that she doesn’t even notice until it’s too late & she feels herself colliding with another body , her drink spilling all over their shirt , & glass landing on the floor between them . of course . karina gasps as she finally turns to look in front of her , seeing the disaster she created . “ oh .. fuck , fuck . i am so sorry , ” the brunette exclaims over the music , moving her hand to cover her mouth as her reckless self tries to hold back a chuckle at her own idiocy . she manages , & finally meets the sorry stranger’s gaze , immediately recognizing him . who wouldn’t ? she wonders now if she’s gonna have to face the wrath of his television persona or if he was different in real life . “ shit , man . i’m sorry , ” she utters once again , moving her hand from her mouth to the top corner of his now soaking wet shirt , quickly realizing her hand wasn’t gonna absorb much . “ let me help clean you up , ” she quickly offers , gesturing towards the bathrooms .
