Standing near the edge of the rooftop pool of the Miscall apartment complex, Jewel stretched her shoulders and back. She was wearing a pair of bikini bottoms and a mid-drift swim tank. It was late , it was always late when she got home, and was the reason she was still single. Her stress level was still very high from the days events, something she was trying to forget.

The pool was technically closing in 20 minutes but she had gotten permission to use the pool after hours given her schedule as long as she was quiet and no one complained. She was in great shape, her lean toned muscle from all the exercises, she was arguably in better shape than someone half her age. She had to be, her job could be physically demanding and dangerous. Nights she spent swimming and doing yoga, early morning she would kick box and lift in the apartment gym.

Laying out her matt and towel she laid across her legs preparing to enter her yoga routine. The stretch ached as her muscles relaxed more it felt great.

Karina had had a long day. Her work wasn’t physically demanding, but she felt like it was. She was carrying the day’s stress in her neck and between her shoulder blades. She had a headache from sitting hunched over a computer staring at the screen most of the day.

Getting home, she tried to sit back and relax, but she was too tense, too overdone from the day. The pool was still open. She wasn’t a great swimmer, but the water relaxed her and gave her something physical to do. She slipped into her copper colored one piece with the open midriff. She took the lift to the roof and stepped onto the cool tiled space.

Jewels face turned from her knees as someone walked out of the lift, ‘odd people are not usually up her this late’ she thought. She did not recognize the woman which was not a surprise however, as she had been in the building two years and had really not met anyone. She was far to busy and almost ever around when others were.

Her eyes scanned the space. She saw a woman she wasn’t overly familiar with, doing yoga by the pool. She was in exceptionally good shape. Karina was fit, but she was by no means as tone. She smiled and nodded politely before putting her towel down and slipping into the water. It was still warm and she groaned softly as she let her body become weightless.

Stone returned her nod as she moved past and pushed her face back into her knees trying to extend past them. When she heard the groan she turned her face toward the pool, Jewel as anything but shy, in fact she loved to socialize she just did not a a lot of opportunity to do so in a non work setting. “Rough day?”, her she asked softly taking the chance to be social while she could.
