"If that is what you learned watching that session then I have my work cut out for me."

Giacinto stretched her arms above her head then did a few lazy spins, circling around Dick.

"If youre serious about this youll be here at this time every week. Twice a week once I finish my show with Chrysanthemum."

His shoulder stiffened slightly. Not the response he wanted but he shouldn't be surprised. His answer wasn't exactly brilliant. It was very tempting to kick himself. With the skates on.

He looked up from his skates at Giacinto, the line still drawn between his brow.

Did that mean his he wasn't going to go through any type of coaching with Giacinto until then? But it that what it took.

"I- fine. I will pay more attention next time," he promised.

"There will be no next time. Not like there was today. My sessions with my students is their time."

She came to a steady stop in front of Dick and rested her hands on her hips. "Bringing you into our time was not fair on Chrysanthemum and will not happen again, just as I won't bring anyone else into our private sessions."

Her chin tipped. "Show me a scratch spin."

His skin flared up and he nodded along with what he was saying.

"It won't happen again."

Although he didn't feel guilty for butting into Chrys' time. If he hadn't of hemay have never gotten this opportunity. She wasn't exactly the easiest person to get hold of.

He nodded again, face still red.

"Sure."

He picked up speed, turning to face Giacinto before making his way into the middle of the rink. Careful not to be in the way of anyone else. Hand's held out either side of his for balance, he kicked off and spun. Faster and faster as his leg lowered. His hands followed. He spun for another few seconds then skated it out, lifting his leg and gliding in a circle.

Satisfied he looked over to Giacinto for her verdict. With her tough demeanor, he wasn't expecting a positive response. Just a whole lot of criticism.

She eyed him critically as he performed the spin.

His technique was flawless, but he had the wobbly gait of someone not perfectly confident with the move.

"Good. Again."

With some confidence, he'd probably go a long way.

The look she gave him did not fill him with confidence. Instead, it gave him the determination to do better next time.

He repeated the spin. With the flawless technique and unsure demeanor that Giacinto picked up. Haveing to skate in a rink with a bunch of people he didn't know wasn't helping. Blue eyes constantly glancing around to make sure he wasn't in the way.

Finishing the spin he turned to see what his next instructions were. Ready to spin again or to execute another move.

"This is your session. You own this ice," she called out when Dick began glancing around to make sure no one was close.

There were only two other people on the ice at the moment. The club hours were coming to a close now.

"You do not bend for other people on this ice. They bend for you."

She would give him this confidence, if it was the last thing she did as a teacher. "Good. Again!"

The words threw him off a little.

"Right," he muttered under his breath. Closing his eyes, he focused. Shifting his attention from the people around him to his skating. "I own the ice."

He opened his eyes at Giacinto's praise and a smile graced his lips in thanks.

At Giacinto's word, he spun. Shoulders not so tense and confidence showing. A slight smile replaced his frown.

"That's it. Well done."

His confidence would only grow from here. She would make sure of it.

"Again."

Dick followed the same steps as earlier. Closing hs eyes, blocking out everything before spinning.

This time he didn't wait for Giacinto's instructions. Figuring he will be executing this same move until she was satisfied that he had perfected it.

He still listened out to any praise or criticism - taking it all one board - or a change of instructions.

Giacinto watched with her arms crossed over her chest.

She would stand here until he stopped.

She could be patient.

Dick fell into a routine; Glide then spin, glide then spin, glide the spin. Over and over. Building up a sweat. His thighs and calfs were beginning to ache too, constantly repeating the movement.

He wasn't about to stop. Not until he flops a spin or his was so exhausted that the move wasn't perfect. Until then he will keep going.

Slowly and surely he didn't need to close his eyes and forget the others in the rink. He even forgot his idol was studying him.

He was holding up better than she expected.

His stamina wasn't as abysmal as she was expecting. That was a rather pleasant surprise.

"Enough. That's enough for today."

She tipped her head towards the gate that they had entered the rink through. "Come, let's go get a-"

She cut off, a frown drawing her lips downwards as a handful of loud, rambunctious men piled into the rink.

Figure skating time was over.

"Come." Her voice was harder now. She wanted to be out of here before-

"Giacinto."

She blanked the call of her name, turning her back and gliding towards the gate. "Richard. Come," she called, like an owner calling a dog to heel.

As soon as she said enough he slid over to the edge of the rink to steady himself. The world around him doing a scratch spin itself.

He raised a hand.

"One moment please," he panted.

At the sharp call of her name, he pushed himself off the side and towards her and the gate.

Only now was he registering the burly men coming into the room.

"Giacinto. Giacinto!"

A tall man with long hair tied into a bun skated up to Giacinto, reaching out to grab her arm and stop her.

"Ah! No!" Giacinto span around on the ice, sending a spray of shavings skittering around her. Her eyes narrowed. "No."

She turned again, snubbing her ex husband. "Richards, come."

"Gacinto!" He spoke a few words in Italian that were ignored by the woman as she exited the gate and made her way to where she had stored her bag.

Dick's attention switched from Giacinto to the tall, tanned man with a bun.

In an instant he reconised him. Dick frowned.

He was never keen on him, before or after their hushed up split. Even when he first saw him grin on TV that stired something inside him.

He quickly turned his attention away from them both to not find out how much better he looked in real life.

At Giacinto's comand, he followed. Skating just a bit behind her as they made their way to the gate, and then up to the locker room where he was also currently keeping his bag.

Giacinto huffed and punched a metal locker.

She grunted an insult under her breath then sat down heavily.

"Don't get married," she told Dick firmly. "It's more trouble than it's worth."

She tugged at her laces with a bit more vigour than was probably best for the poor skates.

His own knuckles felt sore watching her punch a locker. gently he rubbed his fingers over his own knuckles.

Taking a set opposite Giacinto, he almost collapsed in it. Thighs very much deciding that they don't want to cooperate anymore.

"Don't plan to."

He untied his own skates, wiggling out bruised feet.

Raising his head he watched her pull aggressively on the laces as she took her own skates off. A part of him wanted to comfort her in some way or another. Or maybe try to say something to lighten the mood? Instead, he remained silent and took off the next skate.

After a moment of fighting with the laces, she sighed heavily, shoulders slumping.

"After everything that happened, he can still get a reaction. bastard."

She sat for a moment before shaking her head and unlacing her boots much more gently.

Boots back in their bag, she slid her feet into her flats.

"Let's go get a coffee."

His head cocked to the side.

After everything that happened?

Despite bursting with curiosity didn't ask questions. From following Giacinto's career for so long there was one thing very obvious: She was a very private person.

Dick mirrored Giacinto, pulling on shoes and putting his skates in his own bag, slinging it over his shoulder.

"Sure," he said, standing, "where too?"

If it wasn't for the somber mood, he would have had a lot of difficulties containing his excitement. Being invited to coffee with Giacinto. It is probably just so they can go over paperwork and her terms as a coach - but still!

"I get a discount at the café here."

And they did nice paninis. She had forgotten lunch in her rush between different meetings this morning, and it was already late now. Her stomach was about ready to eat itself.

It didn't take long to arrive at the café. She placed a quick order for a chicken and avocado panini and a bicerin.

She laid down a euro note, muttering to the cashier in Italian, then wandering off to find a table.

"It is open this late?"

The one at his old rink always closed at early, as soon as the public skate was finished. Knowing this cafe opened late was probably the third best thing that happened to him today.

He ordered the same panini as Giacinto along with an americano. He fumbled with his wallet, digging out both pounds and euros before finally paying.

Instead of embarrassing himself with his little understanding of Italian, he thanked his server in English then made his way over to Giacinto.

"What did you want to discuss?"

When Dick tried to pay, the cashier shook her head and gestured to Giacinto, refusing to take Dick's money.

Giacinto had paid for him, and she would not go against Giacinto. Giacinto scared her.

Giacinto had taken up residence in a small table in the back corner of the café. "Anything."

It took a few frustrating moments before he finally understood what she meant. A smile grew on his face and he felt giddy. His last coach did that once or twice, but that didn't compare to Giacinto buying him coffee.

"Well, first thank you so much for coffee and lunch? dinner?"

It was late in the afternoon so he wasn't too sure what to call it.

"Secondly I guess we should discuss prices and a schedule?"

Giacinto waved off the thanks with a flutter of her hand, in the same way she had already physically batted away words numerous times tonight. "If I can't pay for a coffee and a panini without worrying, then I need to charge more for my appearances."

She sat back in her chair and tilted her head slightly to the left as she crossed her arms.

"You will be here at six o'clock every Tuesday and Friday. Sessions will be an hour each. If we need more time, we will discuss and rearrange when the time comes. €100 a week."
