Without You

Chapter 41

Ashton pov

I watch as Blake and Ellie walk away talking about something as they go probably the interaction Blake and I had I think she might be warming up to us as an us I then turn to go and put my bike into the garage but am stopped by a women

"We are here live with today's winner Ashton Baylor Ashton how are you feeling?" she asks me

"I'm feeling good. excited to start practicing for worlds"

"now is it true that this will be your third time competing on the worlds track?"

"yes it is my third time competing on the worlds track and hopefully the third time winning as well" I tell her

"so Ashton I was just talking to some of your fellow riders and they said that there is a rumor that you have a girlfriend. can you shed any truth on the matter?" I chuckle a little before answering

"for right now I can tell you that that is false I do not have a girlfriend"

"hear that ladies he's single" the reporter says to the camera

"equally as important is there a lucky lady that you have your eye on?"

laughing again I answer "yeah there is actually no need to name names she knows who she is" I say winking into the camera for MY girl

"well there you have it folks two time and hopefully three time world champion Ashton Baylor at the world qualifiers at Willow Brook University and I would just like to say sorry to all the women out there hoping to get with this champion he has his eye on someone else he says this has been Sandra Evans reporting live back to you guys in the studio"

"and cut" the camera guy says Sandra then relaxes turning to me and continuing our conversation

"so is that lucky lady the one I say you celebrating  with earlier" she asks me

"ha maybe" I say not wanting to give her anymore than I already have

"well you two look cute together she's a lucky lady really"

"no, I'm a lucky man" I say

it's the truth I have fucked up many times and probably will continue to Blake is like a saint she hasn't done half the things I have. Shes not lucky to have me I make life complicated for her although I wish I didn't. I am however very lucky to have her she brings peace into my life if I ever need to be grounded when I get to high in my champion/popular world I look to her. She's like a light in the darkness a calm in the storm my whole world she calls me her star and if that is true then she is my moon the one I look for when I get lost and the one who magnifies my shine.

"well it was good talking to you" Sandra says walking away to interview some of the other riders

I then pick up where I was interrupted and put my bike in the garage "way to go champ" coach says as I park lake

"Thanks coach" I tell him

"you know I really like that Blake" He says

"me too" I say smiling like a little kid

"boy if I wasn't mistaken I would say you are head over heels for that girl"

"you know I hate to admit it coach"

"you don't have to I know"

"Thanks coach" I say

"The boys are out back you should go catch up" he says
