Golden Love ~Tom Daley~

Not A Distraction.

"So where'd you go this morning?" Abby asked.

"I met up with someone I met the other day."

"OOOO Joule's has a boyfriend." David teased.

"I don't shut up." I snapped.

"O you totally do. You wouldn't be so defensive if you didn't." he laughed.

"Well I don't have a boy friend but to shut you up I will tell you I was with a boy this morning. That's all i'm telling you. Nothing else."

"Don't let this affect your game. Remember what you're here for." Abby said bluntly.

"I know. I'm not going to let it get to me." I reassured her.

"Alright." Both Abby and David shook their heads looking a little bit skeptical.

We finished our food and made our way back to the dorms for curfew.

Today had been a great day. I'd met with Tom this morning and we had a good chat then i went and got my nails done and looked around at the different sponsor tents and then went to dinner with Abby and David. They grilled me the entire time about my whereabouts this morning.

I walked back into the room and went to take a shower and changing into my pajamas after. I went outside for my usual ritual, to relax on the balcony and look at the sky. I slipped on a hoodie and opened the door. Sitting on the small table we had out there was a bouquet of flowers. I raised my eyebrows and approached them with caution as if they were going to jump out and eat me. I took the card that was stuck in them and opened it.

Glad I met you. -Tom

A smile spread across my face then confusion. How did he get these on to my balcony? And how did he know I was going to be out here. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and dialed his number.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Hey, I loved the flowers."

"Good!"

"How did you get them.." I looked up and saw him standing on the balcony right next to mine. "How'd you know?" I asked.

"I heard you the other night. Talking to your Mom." he said blushing.

"So you were eavesdropping?" I asked.

"Well..Not..Yeah I was. But it was only because I could relate to everything you were saying. I sometimes come out here and just think about him. I hope you're not mad."

"I'm not." I smiled. "Today really was great. Very theraputic." I sighed.

"Amen to that. It was nice to finally talk to someone who knows what i'm going through."

"I better get to bed. I have training in the morning. Thanks again Tom." I smiled.

"Joules wait." he said and next thing I new he hopped onto my balcony.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I wanted to give you a hug." he smiled and gave me a huge bear hug. He sqeezed me so tight and I hugged back just as tight.

He let go. "Good night." he whispered and we locked eyes. I could tell something was about to happen but I couldn't let it happen.

"Good Night" I smiled and walked back into my room.

--TOMS POV--

It was morning practice. I was on the 10 metre with Pete running through dives before we practiced. Like I'd told Joules the other day, everytime I was on that platform I felt like my Dad was right there with me and that was the case right now. In all honesty it only made me want to do better.
