In this year Roland Garros Tennis Tournament in Paris, I was assigned to be an assistant to the tennis players. I had this chance as I am an 18 year old tennis player in the Youth Tennis Club of Roland Garros.
My name is Karl, I am 5ft 8, 150 Lbs, blond with blue eyes.
One more precision, the assistants are assigned to help only one player, it is decide after all the assistants, pick out in turn all the names in a big bowl. Of course most assistants are delighted to pick the name of a great tennis player as it means that they have good chances to spend more time with them as they go further in the tournament.
When it was my turn, I picked up the little paper and I could read :
Helena Dementieva.
I was quite happy to pick her of course being a tennis player in a club, I know a lot about tennis players and although Helena is not a very well known player, she is ok and she looks fantastic. For those who do not know her very well, she is a 22 year old blond Russian Tennis player.
So, this is how I ended up being the assistant of Helena for as long as she would be qualified for the next step of the tournament.
I met her for the first time in the qualifications, I was so happy to be the only one to be allowed to enter her changing room she used for her matches at all times, the only other person allowed there was her coach. I introduced myself to her and after 3 matches which she won quite easily. We spoke together after the match and after she got changed.
"It was a very good match, Miss Dementieva, that you did back there," I started.
"Yes, Karl, it was, but please could you call me Helena, we are getting to know each other now."
"Ok,... Helena," I replied.
She was so friendly that indeed we had started to speak quite a lot together, before and after the matches.
So it went on like this for some time and with a lot of respect from my part towards her.
When she reached the quarter finals, I went in her changing room, knocking before hand, 3 minutes after the match ended. She was using a towel to dry the sweat off her neck and harms, while her coach was talking about the match she had just one qualifying her for the semi final. She had a wonderful smile on her face, as she was so happy to be finally in a semi final of a great tournament.
I did not say a thing and waited for her to finish her talk with her coach. Finally her coach told her she had to meet him in an hour for dinner. She agreed and finally left the changing room.
"Hey, Karl, I am so happy to be in semi final, you should join my coach and I tonight for the dinner, you are my lucky charm," she told me smiling.
"Well, I am happy that you consider me to be a lucky charm, but you have so much talent it made no doubt you would qualify Helena," I replied blushing form the comment she made earlier.
"Well thank you, so will you join us for dinner," she insisted.
"Ok, with great pleasure."
She was happy about it,, it seemed and she asked me to do some stuff for her while she showered. I was handling all her equipment while she was showering in the shower situated behind a door at the very back of the changing room.
As I was handling her equipment and putting it away in her bags, I came across her clean clothes. I realised that she must have forgotten them and will need them to change in the shower. I could still hear the water running, so I started going through her clothes, there was a light blue top, a white short skirt which would probably be around halfway up her thigh.
I continued searching the bag and found a lacy white bra and quickly looked at the label in order to find out her size, 38-C. Wow, great I thought to myself, when finally I found her white lacy string matching the bra. I immediately started imagining her in this outfit for a while. Then I grabbed all her clean clothes, with out forgetting to put the bra and string at the top to show her that I had seen them. I was indeed wondering what would be her reaction.
I walked to her door still earring the water running. I knocked :
"What is it??"Asked Helena.
"Helena, you forgot your clean clothes, you might need them," I replied.
I heard her unlock the door and as she opened it, the only thing I could see was her face smiling at me as the rest of her body was hidden behind the door.
"Thank you Karl," she said smiling and obviously embarrassed as she saw her underwear on the top of the pile I was giving her.
"Thought you might need them," I joked, laughing.
"Yeah, I guess you are right. Oh, please can you put those outfits in my bag please?" She asked me.
"Err... Ok," I replied, taking her dirty clothes from her left hand.
