Tired from motorboat practice all morning, Claudia failed to understand what she was implying at first. "My Lips look purple?"

Aurora waited until Claudia finished talking before pressing her thumb on the other woman's Lower Lip.

The stinging sensation made Claudia gasp. "Ouch!"

Aurora pulled back her hand and gave Claudia a meaningful look. "It looks like you and Mr. Dreskin had a really wild night."

After hearing her remark, Claudia reflexively covered her lips and exclaimed, "What are you talking about?"

What kind of person would say something Like that out Loud in public?

A deep blush spread across Claudia's cheeks. The sun was scorching, but she was not sure if the redness on her face was from the heat or embarrassment .

When the two of them finally got hungry, they got in the car and headed to the nearest town. After lunch, they booked a room in a hotel for a nap.

The midday sun was too intense, and it was too hot for her to practice outdoors. When the sun cooled down after four o'clock, Claudia would resume practicing.

She rose early that morning and engaged in a number of physically demanding activities the entire morning, so when she Lay down on the bed, she fell asleep in the middle of a conversation with Aurora.

She slept soundly and even had a very ridiculous dream.

In her dream, she stripped down to her underwear and sneaked into the bathroom while Bennett was showering.

The scenes that followed were definitely sensational. The alarm went off, effectively waking Claudia. When she finally opened her eyes, all she could feel was her racing heart.

When she touched her own burning cheeks, she recoiled in shock at how hot it was.

“Oh, my God," she uttered, horrified. What the hell? Why did she have a dream like that?

"Did you have a nightmare?" Aurora, who stayed awake while Claudia slept, asked, rubbing her neck.

She then took a piece of tissue and handed it to Claudia. "You're sweating."

Claudia used the tissue to dab at her sweaty forehead. The memory of the dream brought a sudden flush to her face.

She did not answer Aurora's question. Instead, she sat up and stared blankly at the blanket covering her.

Aurora, convinced that Claudia really had a nightmare, wrapped her arms around her friend. "It's okay, Cece. Don't be afraid. It's just a dream. You're awake now, which means everything you saw in your dream is fake."

Biting her lower lip, Claudia turned to Aurora and nodded slowly. "I know."

She then gently pushed Aurora away and said, “I'm just going to wash my face."

“Sure.”

Aurora immediately let her go.
