You Can Count On Me - Tom Daley Fanfic -

Chapter Seven

Tom's POV:

'Thanks for helping me today, I'm sorry for getting all emotional early,' I began, I could feel a lump in my throat just thinking about dad; I miss him so much.

'It's okay and it's fine, if you ever want to talk to someone, I'm here,' Indie looked up from her food and smiled. We'd decided to order a Dominos Pizza as it was getting late and Owen had gone out with his girlfriend so Indie would have been by herself.

I shut the lid of my pizza box and put it on the floor. I looked up at Indie who was sat cross legged opposite me on the sofa, she looked beautiful; everything about her was perfect. Her eyes sparkled in the light and her smile gave me butterflies in my stomach; I've never felt this way about someone before.

Indie placed her pizza box on top of mine before returning to the sofa. 'I've had a great day today, we should do it again sometime,' I said, wondering if Indie felt the same.

'I'd love that,' She replied, a grin took over her face. 'Actually, I need to buy some paint for my room, if it's not too much trouble, could you show me where B&Q is?'

'Sure, I have training early tomorrow but after that I could pick you up?' I replied. I didn't want to seem too eager but I couldn't help but say yes.

'That would be great, thanks,' Indie brushed her hair out of her eyes and smiled at me incontinently.

I got up and took the pizza boxes into the kitchen, just as I heard my phone bleep. I pulled my iPhone out of my shorts pocket to see I had a new message from Indie. I opened it.

Please can you bring me a drink?;Dx

I started laughing. 'Yes Indie, I'll bring you a drink,' I shouted into the lounge. 'What do you want? Water? Pepsi? Or beer?' I hadn't got much in but I'd found a 1L bottle of Pepsi at mum's house so I'd thought I'd sneak it out and my cousin Sam, had given me some bottles of Stella as a house warming gift.

'I'll have whatever you're having,' Indie shouted back. I grabbed two bottles of beer out of the fridge, took of the bottle tops with a bottle opener and made my way back into the lounge. I handed Indie hers then sat next to her. 'Thanks,' She said before taking a sip from the bottle. I thought she looked more of a wine girl than a beer girl but I was obviously wrong.

'Is there anything else you would like madam?' I asked, winking at her before laughing.

'Erm, have you got a blanket or something? I'm freezing,' She said, she seemed embarrassed for asking but it didn't bother me, I rather someone ask then just sit there.

'Why didn't you say earlier?' I asked her, feeling bad. 'I haven't got a blanket but I've got something else,' I winked at her again before disappearing up the stairs.

Indie's POV:

I sat and waited for Tom to return from upstairs. I got out my phone and checked twitter. My mentions were full of people asking for follow backs so I followed a few people before Tom came back downstairs. I slid my phone back into my pocket and turned to look at him. He was stood in the doorway wearing a onesie with a GB flag print on it. I started to laugh, he looked so funny yet so adorable.

'What?' Tom moaned whilst frowning.

'Nothing, you look amazing,' I said, trying not to laugh. Tom walked towards me, I noticed his name printed on the right side of his chest; he was so cute.

'I hope you don't find it too funny, I've got one for you too,' Tom threw another onesie at me. 'It might be a bit big on you but at least you'll be warm,'

'Awh, thank you,' I stood up and put the onesie on. Tom was right, it was a bit big on me but it smelt so good, just like him. 'How do I look?' I pouted at Tom jokingly.

'Beautiful,' Tom replied. My heart started beating faster; did he really just say that? I felt my cheeks turn red. No one has ever said that to me before.

'Thank you,' I mumbled shyly. Trying to act cool in this situation was pretty tough.

'I'm just telling to the truth,' Tom smiled, he seemed just as shy as me. 'What time do you have to go home?'

I shrugged my shoulders. 'I don't know? Owen and Maddy could be out all night,'

'Want to watch a film then?' Tom asked whilst looking for the remote control.

'Okay,' I'm glad he asked me to stay a bit longer, I really didn't want to go home and be by myself, especially when I hardly know anyone in the neighbourhood.

'What do you want to watch?' Tom walked over to a shelf full of DVDs. 'You name it, I've probably got it somewhere,'

'I don't mind, you choose. As long as it's not too sad,'

'Grease? E.T? Oh no, that's sad. Hmm P.S I Love You?' Tom stood, reading out random names of DVDs off the shelf. 'I know, The Lion King,' Tom pulled a DVD of the shelf, he looked happy with his choice. He walked over to the TV and put in the disc before wondering back over to the sofa and sitting next to me.

'Is this sad? I've never seen it,' I asked. It was true, I'd never seen this film.

'You've never seen this film?' Tom sounded surprised. 'You've not lived. This is my all time favourite film,'

I pushed him on the shoulder. 'Well I'm sorry,' I started to giggle. The film started and we just sat in silence, focusing on the DVD. I couldn't remember the last time I sat and watched a film in utter silence, usually dad or Owen would get a phone call or someone important would arrive at the house.

We'd been watching the film for over and hour and I could feel my eyes getting heavy. I checked the time - 10:45. Owen wouldn't be back for a while yet so I may as well stay. Tom slumped down on the sofa. My head was now at the same level as his shoulder. I felt my eyes getting heavier and heavier; my head started to fall. I was too tired to prevent myself from falling asleep and before I knew it, I was fully asleep with my head resting on Tom's shoulder.

A/N - Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. I've had homework and revision to do.

And sorry this chapter isn't very good and so short but I didn't have time to write a really long one.

Sorry if there are any mistakes.
