She nodded. "Yes that sounds fine, you have a good day at work." She liked to work hard and well and that was good as she took a second to give her number by putting it into his phone. As the evening rolled on she made her way out to the tennis courts and came dressed well enough actually, in her pants outfit and shirt. She looked like a normal person and not the true fashion queen that people thought she was but she never got as she took a seat on one of the benches and waited to see if he would actually show up.

Largo had turned up looking like a tennis player but just more casual about it. He’d had to stop to get racguets and balls from the reception desk before getting to the courts on time and their Ula was. He gave her a smile as he walked over and then said “good evening Ula. How was your day?” His actually had been pretty good and he was getting to know more people. Where that would lead was a journey in its own right. Ula W. Ravenmore

"It was actually pretty good, how was yours?" She figured it was the polite thing to ask and she was not keeping track but two meetings with one person in the same day, she thought that might make pretty decent on the road to seeing where or if this lead to anything. "I have been looking forward to this tennis hang out though." Largo Vasquez

Largo had been surprised to get a court that evening thinking he’d have to wait a day or two but this was a good surprise. He found herself liking her more as the day passed. So at least they were closer to meeting in the middle. “Just getting ready for a new semester Ula. The classes start in a few weeks and some subjects even earlier. Then I will have to avoid the same mistakes I made in the past and actually clock off and leave work behind” he cheerfully said. “I rented two racquets and balls as I didn’t know if you had one. So do you want pink or yellow.?” Colour aside these looked a bit battered but still in decent shape. Ula W. Ravenmore

"Well hopefully a new setting such as this one will help with that. I find that if an interesting thing comes up then it makes it easier and it seems that you are good at making friends so that will help a lot and I am taking pink, it's my color," she said as she laughed. Largo Vasquez

Largo handed Ula her choice of racquet with a smile. “Pink it is” he replied just after she laughed. He still felt there was something about her that he couldn’t help liking but it was tennis and a budding friendship for now. So then they started as his rust was starting to flake off. Automatic things like that never left you. Ula W. Ravenmore

She took a second to make sure that her raquet was positioned correctly before watching him. "If you tell me you are secretly some kind of tennis pro I will walk off this field right now," she said as she laughed. Still she was not giving up in her movements or anything as she finally started to find her rhythm. Largo Vasquez

“I’m not a secret pro. I just play now and again” Largo chuckled as the warm up was completed as the first set started properly. It wasn’t a serious game by any reckoning but he would have to invest in his own gear if he was going to play more often. It probably was an easier sport for somebody like him and he’d just need partners to play with. Ula looked like she was moving smoothly too and finding power in her shots at the right times. He didn’t even have a booming serve; just an accurate one. Ula W. Ravenmore

"I believe you," she said as she swung her racket. "Though if you were you would say the same but no you simply seem like someone who wants the best out of life and that is important." She did like hanging around people who wanted that because it made her feel less crazy for sometimes being so driven. "It is a good sport though, moves all the muscles." Largo Vasquez

Largo knew just what tennis could do. He just didn’t get doing it enough but he was going to fix that oversight. They could talk as they played but Ula did seem sharper than him. “It works muscles most people aren’t aware of. That’s also true” he replied in a little break between games as they changed ends. Sometimes that did make a difference. “Ula you are a lot like me; in the way you want the best out of life. Life is too short so it’s a case of go big or go home” he added. Ula W. Ravenmore

She hit the ball and then stopped as he spoke. "Is that a bad thing? More people should go big or go home because you could be dead and the world would cry but would anyone be happy with what you had left? You see I want to lay down every night knowing that I gave my best every day, if that makes us difficult, then people can move out of our way. Though I do not think that you think we are difficult others might though." Largo Vasquez

You did need to leave a mark on the world before you left it. Hopefully in a good way. And Ula sounded so similar to him. “That’s me too Ula. I also expect no slacking off in my classes. I expect students to do their best too” he replied. He was a relaxed teacher once you got to know him but he did sound strict. There was times you had to be especially in the field. Ula W. Ravenmore

"Does that mean that you are grading me on this terrible tennis game I am having?" she asked. "If so might as well mark me down as going to need more lessons now because no way I pass with flying colors right off the bat." Largo Vasquez

“Of course not Ula” he chuckled. “I could do with lessons myself as it’s been a while since I’ve played but I could give a pointer or two. Or we could go back to tennis lessons together?” he posed. He liked her company and in a short time she had found a way into his life. He was starting to like her too. Ula W. Ravenmore

"Well going together is better than going alone and I think that would keep the both of us attending to it should the lessons become too much and we were doing them by ourselves so sure, we can go together to the lessons." Largo Vasquez
