Charly

When they all had moved into their rooms, the girls got changed and met up at the elevator to go down to the pool. It was shortly to noon and the pool was almost empty, except for some other tourists. Since it was really hot, they laid down on some chairs in the shade under some big umbrellas.
“This is nice”, Lisa mumbled a few minutes later as they all had laid down, with their sunglasses on and eyes closed, enjoying the warmth of the sun on their skin. “Mhmm”, Lou and Charly agreed in unison. That’s when Lisa’s phone started ringing. “For god’s sake”, she grunted and took it out of her bag. “Hello?”, she asked a bit angry. “Oh hey, sweetie”, her voice got high. “No, absolutely not”, and it got strict again. “No, not you and certainly not Kevin”, she spoke into her mobile phone. Lou and Charly exchanged a questioning look. “No, shut up, I’m not discussing this with you. I’ll see you three in three weeks…ALONE”, Lisa continued. “Okay, behave and say hi to Dad for me…okay…alright, love you too, sweetie”, she said and hung up. “Those boys are killing me”, she grunted towards the girls. “What’s it this time?”, Lou asked and closed her eyes again. “They wanted to bring some girls to the concert in London. They wanted to impress them by saying they know One Direction”, Lisa shook her head. “Why don’t you let them? I would have pulled that card if I had the chance at their age”, Charly shrugged her shoulders. “Oh no, once I let them, the girls will use them just to meet the boys and I will not let that happen to my little babies. If they have real girlfriends, they can bring them to the show, but not like that”, Lisa shook her head again and sounded like a strict mother. “This is not the first time they’ve tried this. And I want to meet the girls before they come. If you ever see me bringing in one of my brothers with a girl, you know it’s serious between them…so probably never”, Lisa added and lay back down.
Just a few minutes later, a big shadow appeared in front of Charly and made her open her eyes. “Niall and I are training in 20 minutes. You’re in?”, Mark asked. “Now? It’s way too hot for that”, Charly moaned. “Your call, but I can show you those back exercises we were talking about”, Mark said. “Alright, fine. I’ll meet you in the lobby then”, Charly gave in and Mark walked away again. “Does anyone of you wanna join the work-out?”, Charly asked in the round. “In your dreams, love”, Lou replied with closed eyes. “Alright, then I better get going. I need to buy a sports-bra first. I saw a store by the hotel”, Charly said, before she got up and packed up her stuff. “I’ll see you ladies later?”, she asked. “We’ll still be here”, Lisa said and Lou nodded in agreement.
Charly rushed to the store to get a sports-bra, which wasn’t easy in her size, but luckily they had one left. It was a really girly, neon-pink one. Not really her kind of style, but she learned to take what she could get and she also got cute gym shorts. Then she went up to her room to get changed into those shorts and a t-shirt over her new bra and came back down to the lobby just in time as Mark and Niall arrived. “Hey Charly, what you’re doing here?”, Niall asked surprised. “She’ll be working out with us today”, Mark explained and had a big gymnastics ball in his arms. “And what’s that for?”, Charly asked and pointed at that ball. “It’s for your back exercises”, he explained. Niall looked between the two and looked as confused as always. “Let’s get going, it’s not getting any cooler outside”, Mark said and led the way outside to the gym’s terrace, which they had all to themselves. Of course none of the local people were crazy enough to train in that heat.
“You both start with warming up and then you train individually”, Mark said and showed them some moves to warm up their muscles before they really started the work-out.
After a few minutes Mark stopped them. “Alright, that’s good. Now, Niall, you do the jumps as usual and I show Charly some exercises”, Mark said and took Charly aside. “You sit down on that ball and then you slowly move your body forward until only your neck rests on the ball. Then, you lift your pelvis up and hold that position for a few seconds”, Mark explained and helped Charly to do the exercise correctly and pushed her back up a little bit until she reached the right height where her body was in a straight position. “That, you do about 5 times”, Mark said and went over to Niall, who was following Charly’s moves closely. “No peeking, Horan, focus on your own work”, Mark patted Niall’s back.
Mark showed Charly some other moves like balancing her belly on the ball and stretching out her left arm and right leg and the other way round. The exercises didn’t seem that hard, but when you did them in the heat of Madrid, they can turn out really tough. “Now take those dumbbells and lay down on your back and just push your hands up. Do that for 30 seconds and then you put your arms together, put them up and bring them down over your head, still holding the dumbbells”, Mark told her what to do next. After she accomplished each of those 30 seconds, she had really started sweating. “Guys, would you mind if I take my shirt off? It’s getting really hot out here”, Charly complained. “No problem”, came Niall’s answer a bit too quick and Mark had to chuckle. Charly took her shirt off and kept on training in her bright pink sports-bra that looked like a short top itself. Niall followed her every move and Mark had to draw Niall’s attention back to his exercises quite a few times.
“To relax your back between the exercises or during the day, you could do the McKenzie Cobra”, Mark said. “The what?”, Charly asked surprised and had to chuckle. “The McKenzie Cobra”, Mark repeated. “You put your hands on your back for support and then you bend backwards. Go try”, he said and took a step back. Charly put her hands on her sweaty back as told and bended backwards as far as she could. It hurt and she let out a long moan while she moved backwards to relieve the pain. “Shit, that’s tough”, she said as she came back up. “I know, but when you do it several times in a row it gets easier and it eases your pain a little”, Mark explained. “I need some water now. Do you guys want some too?”, Charly asked. “Yes, please. Get you a few bottles”, Mark said as Niall didn’t say anything.
As Charly got in to get some water for everyone, Niall turned to Mark. “Why did you bring her today?”, Niall asked. “She told me she had some back problems so I showed her some exercises”, Mark answered. “And you came up with that whole bouncing on that big ball over there?”, Niall asked. “Sure”, Mark replied and pulled an eyebrow up. “God bless you, Mark!”, Niall said and hugged his trainer. Mark gave Niall a thoughtful look. “Look, who got the hots for our little Charly”, Mark said and chuckled. “What?!”, Niall’s eyes got big. “No! No, what are you talking about? No, no, no”, Niall shook his head and blushed. “Wow, it hit you pretty hard, huh?”, Mark chuckled. “No, I was just talking about her boobs. I’m a man, I notice such things…only that”, Niall tried to cover up his nervousness. “Got cha, kiddo, got cha”, Mark chuckled and turned away.

After her workout, Charly went up to her room to take a quick shower, got dressed in her bathing suit again and went back down to the pool. Lisa and Lou were still lying there, now joined by Harry, Liam and even Paul. Of course, her chair was taken. “Hey guys”, she greeted them and put her bag down on the floor. “Does any of you fancy a swim?”, Harry got up and asked around. Charly took the opportunity to conquer the chair. “I’m exhausted, I’m not going anywhere”, she said and sighed relieved as she put her feet out. “What did you do?”, Harry asked her. “She’s been working out with Mark”, Lisa answered for her. “Then you have to get up and keep moving or else your muscles will get sore”, Liam said and came over to her chair. “Well, then so it will be. I’m not moving, I’m tired”, Charly said and kept her eyes closed. The next thing she felt were some arms lifting her up from her chair and as she opened her eyes, she was about to be thrown into the pool by Liam. “Liam, don’t you daaareeee”, she screamed as she flew through the air and just in time, she was able to press her nose shut with her fingers, before she hit the water. “Wuhuuuuu!”, Liam screamed as he followed her into the pool by jumping right next to her. “Liam, you little fucker!”, Charly let out, as she came back up again. She swam the one arm length towards him and tried to press him under water, which wasn’t easy.
It was a bit weird for her being lightly dressed with a half naked Liam in public. She felt like as soon as she got too close to him, everybody could see that they were doing it. “Pool wrestle!”, Harry screamed and also jumped into the pool. “Wait, what?”, Charly asked confused and Liam used that opportunity to push her arms off his shoulders, come back out of the water and pull her close to him. “What are you doing, Liam?”, she hissed close to his face. She was actually scared that they would know now. “What?”, Liam asked with a wink. “If you don’t stop it right now, they will know”, she scolded him. “Oh Charly, don’t be so paranoid”, Liam smiled at her. “Just to proof you wrong, we’re gonna be partners for the first round”, he said. Before she could tell him to fuck off, he had submerged in the pool and she could feel him placing himself between her legs. The next second she was up in the air, holding on tightly to Liam’s head. “Who’s going to be my partner in crime?”, Harry asked around, looking at the people besides the pool. “Lisa?”, he asked hopefully. “Nope”, was her quick answer. “Lou”, Harry said with a tone in his voice like he was sure she would say yes. “If you get me wet, I get you killed, Styles”, she responded with her eyes closed, enjoying the warmth of the sun.
“Niall!”, Harry screamed out, happy to see someone who could actually help him out. “Pool wrestling. You in?”, he asked. “Of course”, Niall said, dropped his things to the group of chairs and jumped right in the pool. “I don’t even know what I should do”, Charly complained to Liam, while Harry climbed on Niall’s shoulders. “Are there any rules?”, she asked. “You just have to push him off, that’s all”, Liam quickly said and got in position. “Paul, call it”, Liam said and Paul sat up. “Wait!”, Charly raised her hand. “If anyone touches my boobs, we’ve already won”, she said and looked around, if everyone’s agreed. “And what if I touch them?”, Liam asked with a kinky grin. “Then I get a new partner”, Charly replied without emotion. “Sounds fair”, Paul said. “Ready…set…WRESTLE!”, he shouted and dropped his risen hand. “AAAHHHH!”, Charly screamed out as she saw Harry’s big hands coming towards her.
At first she struggled a bit to get a good grip of Harry’s arms and was just fighting off his hands. Liam tried to kick Niall off balance without losing grip of Charly. Just at the moment Charly could get hold of Harry’s left hand to instinctively pull him forward, Liam managed to kick away Niall’s legs, so the two of them fell over right next to Liam and Charly. “Yeah!”, Liam raised his hands in victory. “Gimme five, love”, Liam put his hand up to Charly and she high-fived him. “I think, I kinda like this game. So who’s next?”, Charly asked and rubbed her hands together. “This calls for revenge”, Harry said and this time Niall sat on his shoulders.
“Paul?”, this time Charly called. “Ready…set…WRESTLE!”, he shouted again. Niall was stronger than he looked, Charly had to admit. A few times, Liam started to totter dangerously, but was able to avoid the fall. It might have taken a bit longer this time, but Charly and Liam managed to also win this battle. “I think we have a new dream team. Normally, no one beats the Styles/Horan duo”, Paul said and high-fived Charly and Liam, as they came to the edge of the pool. “They’re not the new dream team, we’re just giving Charly an easy start”, Niall complained, almost looking like an angry kid. “Tell that to ya mother”, Liam laughed at him.
“Why don’t you play, Lisa? It’s really fun”, Charly asked and rested her arms on the edge of the pool. “I know it’s fun. I just don’t want to play because it’s not fair to you guys”, she explained and put her shades up. “Not fair?”, Liam asked in disbelief. “I have three brothers at home, I had my practice. You don’t stand a chance”, she said and put her shades back down. “Don’t talk such shit, you’re just afraid to break one of your nails”, Niall mocked her. “Alright, that’s it”, Lisa basically ripped her shades off her face, tossed it on the chair and jumped onto Niall in the water. The others couldn’t believe their eyes as they watched her taking over Niall until he was weeping and begged for help. “I’m on her team”, Harry quickly raised his arm.
