Baby, I Loved You First (complete)

Chapter 29: Olympics

Months has passed and it's now time for the Olympics!

The most exciting part was Tom's event which will be held tomorrow.

He was still in training when I wanted to visit him this late night in the pool area of the university.

"Hi coach." I smiled to his coach. "Hey Tommo. How are you?" He asks me. "I'm fine. Excited for Tom's event!" I say. "Have you got your passes from him?" He asks. "Yup. Ready to watch him dive and to bring that medal home." I say.

"Oh, there he is." The coach says and Tom waves to us and walks towards us.

"Hey. Surprise visit?" Tom looks at me. "I was doing nothing at the house so I decided to take a visit here." I say. "Where's Danielle and Eleanor?" He asks. "I don't know. They left when I woke up. Didn't mind to send them a message. What time will you come home?"

"Before midnight. Tomorrow's the event." Tom says. "How many years are you both together?" Coach asks us. "2 years next month." Tom says. "We're two years together?!" I surprisingly ask. "You don't know?!" Tom and his coach laughs. "I was just surprised." I say.

So it has been two years. I can't believe we were this long.

"You can take a break for a while then back to training. I'll check on the others." The coach smiles and leaves the both of us. Tom puts a towel around his shoulders and we both walked to the bleachers to sit.

"Tom does it look like I'm overly attached with you?" I ask him. "No. Don't think about that. You know we've been separated for almost a year because of the training. I'm very comfortable with you." He says. "I just find myself like that. I also seem like I'm over protective. You know, your fans might say that I'm so...I don't know. I feel bad." I say.

"What? Why feel bad? Ava. Why are you saying that?" I ask her. "I don't care what they say about us. They don't know anything about us. They didn't know what we've been through so don't let them judge you. You know you're one of my inspirations in my diving. Don't let them bring you down. If you think or feel that my fans or anyone brought you down, tell me and I'll do anything to stop it." He says and kisses my cheek.

"Do you have your phone with you?" he asks. "Yah." I lend it to him and I look on where he goes. He logs off my Twitter and logs on to his.

I look away and he holds my face for a kiss and clicks on the camera.

"What was that for?" I ask him. "You'll see." He smiles. I waited for him to finish until he stands and said that he'll go back to training.

*Tom's POV*

She got me there again. Now I have to work even better for her.

Her confessions about herself made me know of her more and I won't forget everything she has said. Tomorrow, I'll show her what I've worked hard on. Not only her but to my family too and friends.

Back to training again to get ready for tomorrow's event.

An hour left before the training ends and we'll both go home for rest.

*Ava's POV*

I can't believe he tweeted that.

*"Lovely girl visited me at training at the middle of the night. I want her to be with me always. #inspiration #respect I love you @ATommo. xx"*

I look at him with a smile.

"Hey, A Tommo." Jack sits beside me. "Hey, J." I answer. "Waiting for Tom?" He asks. "Yup. Danielle and Eleanor are away, I was bored so I went here." I say.

"Hahaha, you coming tomorrow, love?" He asks. "Yes. I will come. I have gave him all my prayers and blessings for that moment." I say. "How sweet of you." He laughs. "I don't myself sweet. Ugh." I react. "It's just normal between us." I say with a laugh.

After an hour, we finally went home.

We caught Danielle and Eleanor eating at the living room while watching a television.

"Hey, we're looking for you." Eleanor looks at me. "You guys left me sleeping!" I say. "Anyway, you should go to sleep. It's Tom's event tomorrow." I add.

"We don't have passes!" Danielle says. "It's in our room." Tom says. "I didn't know they're coming." I say. "They left me here!" I jokingly said and we laughed.

The next day was the much awaited moment. Tom's Olympic event.

We're at the event already. Tom was warming up.

I wore the GB jacket Tom gave me last night where a printed Team GB will be seen at the front and at the back Go Tom was printed.

"Alright, alright! Here we are Tom." His coach says. "I'm ready." He smiles.

He takes off his clothes and left his speedo on him.

"Good luck." I say to him and amorously hugged him. My arms around his neck and his around my waist. "Thank you." He whispers back. He leans forward to me for a kiss and he walked outside.

We followed, we watched him live.

As he and his mate get on the platform and focused, I clasped my hands near my mouth and wished that it will turn out good.

As soon as he dove down the water, I felt a bit relief. There are more trials, attempts each pair.

And the last attempt, trial, whatever it is called. It was successful. We then knew that they were qualified for the other rounds.

We're then about to go home in the middle of the night. Tom will be having training tomorrow.
