As Alicia Sacramone was just about to kiss Nastia Liukin, a call interrupted.
~
”Yeah, what? I’m kinda busy heeeere” Alicia’s oblivion of the situation infuriated Sam.
“Yeah and kinda drunk, where the fuck are you? I’ve been worried sick.” You can totally hear Sam over the phone as she was screaming at Alicia. “It’s past 3 am and you’re still out of the ranch?”
“I’m with Nas.” Alicia whispered.
“Oh,”
Crap. My neck is so gone tomorrow.
“I see. Well, will you be bunking with her tonight?” Sam asked acting naive. Like she wasn’t the one who caused all of this.
“If her bunk holds from all the rocking.” Alicia’s drunk tone came rushing back. She grinned with delight but thought I cannot believe I just said that to a 16-year-old. No, I cannot believe I said that, period.
“Perv.” Sam jested. She could see Alicia having a big grin on her face from the dirty joke. “Okay, just get back in one piece and for pete’s sake, please remember Shawn’s there.”

I’m not gonna do this. Nastia thought as she waited for Alicia to come back from her call.
“I am not gonna do this, not this way. Not while she’s drunk.” Nastia was panicking and talking to herself. “Plus, it’ll be too weird. Okay, yeah, no, I’m not doing this.” Nastia spoke thinking she was alone.
“WHO are you not doing?” Alicia said in a jokingly manner. Nastia was taken aback. Alicia chuckled a little bit.
“I was just talkin to myself-“
“Nas, can I use your bathroom?” Alicia interrupted. “I think I’m gonna throw up.” And that she did.
Shortly after, Alicia walked over to Nastia, collapsed on her bed, wrapped Nastia in a hug and passed out. Nastia could not move. And it wasn’t because she was wrapped like a cocoon. Her insides just froze.
Great. Just great.
~~
It was time for Beijing and a week since the almost kiss Nastia and Alicia shared. Everyone was getting ready and psyching themselves out except for one particular Ms. Nastia Liukin.
“Hey, you alright?” Shawn asked having concerns about her bestfriend’s uncanny behaviour for the past few days.
“What?”
“I said are you alright? Nas, what’s wrong? You’re always in a daze. Especially in the last couple of days.”
“What, no, Shawn, I’m just really nervous for the team competition.”
“Yeah? I am too.” Shawn dismissed the topic but knew that wasn’t what was wrong with Nastia. Shawn knew all too well when her bestfriend was lying.
Why has she not said anything since it happened? Does she even remember? God, I can’t be distracted now. I just can’t.
Nastia didn’t let herself get distracted over an “almost kiss”. There was nothing keeping her from her dream of being an Olympic Gold Medalist.
She probably doesn’t remember.
But Alicia did remember. This kept her from focusing on her routines. She fell down a couple of times and almost broke down with the thoughts of letting her team down.
Jeez, Nas, get out of my head.
~
In celebration with the team’s accomplishment of a silver medal, Alicia took the team to have drinks at the bar and restaurant at their hotel.
Alicia was stuffing her mouth with nachos and getting rounds of shots for everyone. The younger group got virgin pina coladas.
Nastia downed 7 shots of tequila and was getting a little bit drunk. Alicia thought this was all too familiar.
“I’m gonna go throw up now.” Nastia exclaimed.
“Valeri’s gonna freak!!!” Sam shouted.
“Do you want me to come with?” Shawn asked.
“No, it’s okay, I can handle myself.” Giving Shawn the I’m-Nastia-Liukin-I-can-do-anything look.
But Alicia didn’t buy it. She knew Nastia wasn’t a drinker. She knew there was something wrong with Nastia. She knew exactly what was wrong with her.
“Getting too drunk to keep food in’s my thing, Shawnie, lemme handle this.” Alicia followed Nastia.
Nastia walked over to the elevator. She was on the verge of throwing up and was pretty dizzy from all the alcohol.
“Hey, wait up!” Alicia holding the door open.
“Go back, Alicia, I’m fine.”
“No, you’re not.”
“Jyeaah,I aaam. Now cmon Leesh, go back. I don’t wanna say or do something I might regret.”
“Like what? Drunk dialing?”
“No, like almost kissing you, passing out then forgetting about it.”
“Nas, who said I forgot?” Alicia leaned in to give Nastia a kiss when..
TING! Definitely not saved by the bell.
~
Nastia and Alicia walked back to Nastia’s room. They were all alone now. Nastia’s eyes met Alicia’s as they awkwardly glanced each other.
“Okay, so here we are.” Alicia broke the silence.
“For the nth time.” Nastia added.
Alicia smiled and bit her lower lip. Nastia moved in closer to Alicia. Their eyes glistened and with haste they moved closer and closer..
If you want my body and you think I’m sexy. Cmon sugar tell me so.
OMFG. Are you kidding me? Nastia sighed with disbelief.
“No, this time, I’m all yours.” Alicia ignored the call and smiled brightly at Nastia. With the younger girl smiling back, Alicia pulled her closer wrapping her hands around Nastia’s waist. “I never wanna see that smile go away.” With that being said, Alicia gave Nastia the softest kiss. The one they both been waiting for a long time.
As Alicia was too preoccupied to take any calls, her phone just kept ringing.
If you want my body and you think I’m sexy. Cmon sugar tell me so.
Rod Stewart isn’t so bad after all.
