It was a couple of weeks since her oh-so-embarrassing episode with her neighbour. She felt so stupid, getting drunk and throwing hers elf at him. He'd been okay about it, she guessed. After all, he could have really taken advantage of her if he'd wanted to. But he hadn't. In a way that made her feel even worse.
Meanwhile, she'd steadily been making friends at work and settling in to her new home. Through one of her new colleagues she'd managed to get a try out for a local field hockey club. She'd loved hockey at university, even making the first team on a few occasions. At long last it was Saturday and she was looking forward to her first training session. She slipped into a pair of tight cycling shorts and a tight-ish tee shirt. She tied her hair back, popped on some little sports socks and her trainers and set off.
It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and a gentle breeze blew the few white clouds slowly across a blue sky. Alison had a great couple of hours training. It felt good to be playing again and she looked forward to the first match tomorrow. The girls at the club had made the newbie welcome and she thought she'd be making some good friends.
Driving home, she was buzzing. The endorphins were whizzing round her body and she loved it. She'd even been put on the first team list for the game. All in all she was pretty pleased with her morning. She pulled up outside her house and got out of the car. Already she could feel the burn in her legs. She needed a cool shower. She gave her legs a shake and with a spring in her step walked to the house.
Just as she reached the foot of the steps up to her front door her neighbour, Tom the builder, emerged from his house, whistling to himself.
'Hi Alison,' he said cockily.
'Hi,' she muttered, fumbling in her rucksack pocket for her house key.
'You look hot,' he said.
Oh god, she thought, I must look a right mess. She hated communal showers - they always made her feel like she was being compared all the time by the other girls, and they were all pretty fit at the club β not least Poppy, the first team captain. So, she'd just splashed her face with cold water and jumped in her car. Her hair was plastered to her forehead and she was aware of her tee shirt clinging to her back, damp patches pulling the cotton tight over her breasts.
Instinctively, she pulled her rucksack up in front of her and hurriedly found her keys. 'I've been to hockey training,' she said.
'Oh, right, what club do you play at?'
She found her key and turned it in the lock. 'Its just an amateur club. We practice at the high school. I just joined.'
'Really? My mate's the coach. You in the first team?'
Oh god, she thought. She couldn't get away from him anywhere.
'Yes,' she said, trying to make it clear she didn't want a conversation. She didn't want to be standing there all sweaty, breasts on show, tee shirt turning more and more transparent.
'So Doug is coaching you then. Good guy Doug. Bark's worse than his bite. Want me to put in a good word for you?'
'No thank you,' she said firmly, opening her door.
'I just thought that I could tell him how enthusiastic you can be about things,' he said, smirking.
Her face reddened. Obviously he was referring to her failed attempt, in her drunken state, to seduce him. She tries to contain a wince as she remembered, as far as she could, how she'd thrown herself at him. Alison started to close the door behind her.
'I'll be going to watch the game tomorrow, by he way. Doug wants some work doing, said I' talk about it with him while we watch you lovely ladies do your thing. Want a lift?'
'No,' Alison said, and with that shut the door firmly. Great, she thought, that's all I need.

The next morning, Alison woke early. Its was a bright, sunny day again. It didn't take much to get her out of bed. She was soon up and dressed in the tee shirt and shorts she'd worn for training the day before. They weren't too fresh but would be fine for an early morning run.
At a pretty good pace she made her way along the quiet pavements to the local park, deciding to do a long circuit round the perimeter before heading back. She didn't want to overdo it, especially after a hard training session the day before, but wanted to give her legs a good long stretch out. Thirty minutes later she sprinted the last stretch home.
She ran upstairs and stripped off before stepping into a cool, refreshing shower. She stood for while with the cold jet on her face. The fizz of the water was all she could hear as she felt the cool rivers of water running over her chest. Her nipples hardened and she shivered. The water ran over her belly and pussy and down her legs. She stroked her hair away from her face and the cold water rushed over her shoulders and back.
She shivered again and decided she had cooled down enough. She turned the heat up a little and washed her hair and body. The change from cold to hot made her skin tingle as her soapy hands ran over her body. She felt her erect nipples flicking through her slender fingers and the softness of her pubic hair as she moved her hands between her legs.
She closed her eyes as she slowly stroked her finger along the outer fold of her pussy, feeling the warm water running over her skin, mixing with her own moisture as she fingered herself. She gasped, concentrating on the feeling of the hot cascading water on her smooth soft skin, her finger feeling how hot and wet she was inside. Soon she made herself come, then ran her hands over her breasts and belly and abdomen as her body enjoyed the orgasm she had given herself.
Alison dried off and had breakfast, padding round the house in her favourite old tee shirt. With the hockey match starting mid morning she had enough time to sort out a few things before she got into her new strip - close fitting top, gym skirt, and knee length socks. No wonder that meat-head next door was so keen to come and watch, she thought. She zipped a hoody over the top, slipped her trainers on and gathered her kit. She got in her car, and excited about her first proper game with her new club, set off.
She turned into the car park. To her dismay, there was her neighbour's van. As she walked to the clubhouse she spotted him talking to Doug, her coach. There didn't seem to be anyone else there yet. As she walked slowly across the field Tom waved. She gave a fleeting wave back and decided that she was not going to let him ruin her day. As she reached the clubhouse she allowed herself to smile and exchanged an enthusiastic high five with Doug.
'Looking good... Again,' Tom said, making no attempt to conceal his inspection of her. Continuing her attempt to put things behind her she smiled and did a little curtsey.
'Thank you. And thanks, Doug. I'm so looking forward to this. Thanks for putting me on the team.'
Doug gave her a pat on the shoulder. 'You're nice and early! Get yourself sorted and we might as well start warming up. Home changing room's this side,' he said, tapping the wall behind him.
'I thought you said 11am,' she said.
'Nope. 11.30. never mind, though.'
She was sure she had heard him right. Alison jogged toward the door but Doug called her back.
