Holly's back hit the floor first and she did her best to hold her head up so that it would not whip back and crack against the tile, the last thing she wanted was a concussion. The wind had been knocked from her chest by the fall and by the bulkier frame of Barid falling on top of her, her hands still clinging to him and one of his own trapped beneath them.
“Ow.” She whined. Her mind registered all of the aches and bruises she would have in the morning before feeling the heat of his breath so close on her bare neck. “Shit, are you ok?” Baird asked hurriedly, attempting to push himself up and off of her naked and damp form but finding it impossible to move much as his arm was pressed between the tile and the flat of her back. He shifted as much as he could move, bracing his free arm against the damp and slippery floor and raising himself away from her chest until a sliver of light showed between them. Under different circumstances he would have more than enjoyed being pressed that close to her body, but slipping and falling on her wasn't exactly a smooth move. “Ugh, no. I am going to be so bruised in the morning.” Holly croaked in return. She shivered as the cold air from the locker room rushed across her chest when Baird moved his warm skin away from her. Gooseflesh erupted on her pale flesh and she was suddenly wishing he'd move back and keep her warm again. But she also realised what sort of picture they must be making sprawled on the floor on top of one another, her being naked and Baird still shirtless from his workout. Anyone could just wander in the door at any minute it was not something she wanted to have to explain to anyone. With him not pressed quite so tightly to her chest Holly found that she could move a little and made to sit up, freeing up Baird's arm as she did so. The movement pressed her closer to him once again, faces barely centimetres apart. Holly took a moment to let her eyes rove his features, taking in the pale stubble that peppered his cheeks, the hard square cut of his jaw and the soft curve of lips that were...she shook her head to prevent her mind from wandering further with that train of thought. “Help me up?” She breathed softly to him. Baird just nodded, unsure of what exactly to say. He was even more sure now than ever that she would continue to think badly of him for being such a clumsy ass. He pressed his arm to her back and raised them both into a more comfortable sitting position on the tile floor. Holly rotated her neck then shoulders, testing for aches and pains and hoping she really wouldn't feel too bad come the next morning after both pushing her workout too hard and then falling onto the hard floor with Baird's weight on top of her. “Thanks,” She sighed, rubbing the back of her neck slightly then flushing as she realised just how much she was exposing her naked breasts to him. She dropped her arms and crossed them over her chest. Clearing her throat she tried to stop the burn of a blush from painting her pale skin and failed. “Um you could get my towel for me now.” Baird grinned as the blush coloured her flesh, yes he'd been taking liberties and having a gratuitous look while she was distracted, he was a man, she was naked, so sue him. But as he had offered in the first place and in eagerness managed to knock her to the floor he figured he should probably do as she'd asked and give her back some modesty; as much as he'd have preferred that she stay naked. “Sure,” He nodded, standing up and brushing his hands absently against the damp patches the moisture from her skin and the tiles had soaked into his trousers. “Just a sec.” And he hurried into the small locker room and grabbed the white towel that Holly had slung over one of the pegs that lined the wall and headed back to her. Holly felt rather foolish sitting naked on the floor of the showers but didn't want to attempt to get up without something to cover herself up with, she was suddenly feeling rather self conscious. “Thanks,” She muttered as Baird handed her the towel. She unfolded it and held it pressed to her bare chest, covering her modesty as best she could and then made an attempt to stand while keeping the rest of her covered as much as possible. She felt clumsy and sure she would fall again on the wet tiles, either that of manage to expose herself even more to the blonde man in front of her and so was thankful to him when he held out a hand and offered to help her to her feet. “And again.” Holly smiled. On her feet once more she pulled the towel around her slim frame more securely and felt entirely more relaxed, quite amazing how so little covering will do that for you but there is just something about complete nakedness that screams vulnerability. “Y'know, you surprised me there Baird.” She said, smiling a little more slyly. “Most men would have taken the chance to cop a feel but you behaved almost gentlemanly.” Only almost, she had noted how he'd taken rather gratuitous glances but she couldn't really blame him for that. On a whim Holly leaned in and pressed a delicate kiss on his cheek, “I appreciate that.” She grinned and stalked away from him to dry and dress, saying she would leave him to shower in peace and all the while Baird continued to stand at the entrance to the showers stunned and unable to reply. Why did this always happen to him? He never, ever had a problem finding words, his problem was usually knowing when to shut up and not actually giving a shit about it but around Holly, she just had this way of making him feel brain-dead and dumb so that words could not even form in his brain let alone cross his lips. And he'd been doing so well too... At that moment his mind was having a frantic conversation with himself, one part of him was kicking himself for not taking more advantage of the situation as it were than he did, while the other half was congratulating himself on not doing something so stupid and perhaps earning just a little bit of respect from her which could only work in his favour right? After all she had just kissed him...or had that just been a dream. He raised a hand to feel the spot on his cheek that tingled from where her lips had touched him oh so gently and fleetingly just as the door behind him slammed. Glancing round Baird noted he was now alone, Holy must have dressed and left without a further word which made Baird feel a little flat if he was honest. But it also made him feel somewhat more determined, he could get a hold of himself a little more he was sure of it; progress had already been made after all and the flirting? Well he was more than sure that hadn't just been all in his head. That was it, he'd made his mind up. He would go pay Holly a little visit, to apologise for his earlier clumsiness, he wouldn't get tongue-tied this time and he could see just where the night might lead them.
