The New Queen

When she got home from Russia, Anna, Vika and Aliya all decided to go to Florida for two weeks for a quick little holiday. They all deserved it. They’ve had long journey’s to get to this point. A little R&R before they started their adult lives was needed.
…
“Ahh it’s so beautiful here!” Aliya took off her flip flops and felt her toes in the silky sand.
“Yeah it is lovely” Anna covered her eyes with sun glasses and sat down. The sand is very warm and loose around her fingers. “But it’s too hot”
“That’s why we’re here, it was raining everyday in Paris” Vika said.
“Well I’m an indoor person” Aliya tackled Anna in a playful way.
“You will enjoy yourself!” she said. “Two weeks, no worries at all, just fun I the sun!”
“Like I said…I’m an indoor person” Aliya got off of Anna.
“Well excuse me, I’m going to get my swim on” Aliya ran into the water like a little child. She looked so excited. Probably because they’ve been so locked up training for Paris after doing nothing for a while.
Vika laid out on the beach and enjoyed the sun. Anna pulled the blanket over her body. “Don’t be a part pooper, Anna”
“I don’t know…I feel like something is…missing”
“I felt like that after London, like I needed to continue with gymnastics”
“I don’t need to do gymnastics, I just feel like I’m missing something”
“Cough…Tom…cough…Pavel….cough…Sam”
“No….well maybe, gymnastics ruined all of those relatinships”
“Maybe you’re missing a serious relationship, Anna” Vika said. “You’re 23 and most of your boyfriends have been jokes”
“I guess”
“Or finish college…get a job…do something outside of gymnastics” Vika suggested. “I’m buying an apartment in Moscow and hopefully I’m going to start college…It’s something I want and I knew I was missing this…normalcy to my life that I can have now. You’re retired now you can do whatever”
“I want to date David” Anna said.
“Then date him!”
“But I don’t want to go long distance again…you see how it went for Tom and I”
“I know” Vika said. “But is that the only thing keeping you from him?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t thought my life through enough…I think I want to live in Moscow”
“I love Moscow”
“Or maybe on a beach…I could live in a nice beach apartment. But I want to write a book first in different languages…mostly just Russian and English and maybe Albanian for my dad’s parents” she said. “I’d like to have children from day but it’s not a priority” she said. “I want to do so man things and I don’t know where to start”
“It’s your life”
“that’s too much ppressure”
