Just Him ❤

38. And so it begins.

Now your picture's that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh
Some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye

What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
Touch your lips, to hold you near,
When you say your prayers, try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words
You've been needing to hear, I'll wish I was him
'Cause these words are mine, to say to you
'Til the end of time

Yeah I, will love you, baby
Always and I'll be there
Forever and a day, always

Seb had got back from swimming with Antti just a couple of minutes ago. The first thing he had noticed was that Chloe had the music turned up already with Bon Jovi on. He walked through to the bedroom to see her still laying in bed. "How are you feeling?" He stood at the side of the bed.

"Better, thanks.' She sat up.

"I heard you vomiting again last night." He looked concerned.

"Oh shit. Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you."

"Unfortunately for you, you're what they call a noisy puker." He grinned. "Are you coming down with me for breakfast?" He hoped she would finally eat something today, he knew she hadn't eaten since Sunday when they were back in Italy.

"Sure." She nodded and got up and headed in to the bathroom. She seemed in a better mood this morning, he hoped she would continue to be. Maybe stepping back and easing the pressure off of her to talk would work.

She sat next to him in the hotel's restaurant, she felt hungry for the first time in what felt like a long time as she drank her coffee. Seb, who was on what he called 'Antti's restrictive fucking diet' had a bowl of fruit with natural yogurt. Chloe was not sure what her stomach could manage so had just opted for toast and a banana.
"It's good to see you eat." He smiled. "I was starting to think maybe you had a virus last night."

"If I'm honest, it was stress." She took a bite of her toast.

"Oh." Seb felt a little guilty. He knew he hadn't helped there.

"Emotional stress can have that effect on me. I've had it happen before. Please don't sit there and feel bad though. You wasn't the sole cause of it."

"I didn't help though." He replied.

"I'll be fine Seb, I'm better now." She looked around the room. They were on the same table as some of the senior team members. There was a sea of red clothing.

"How's the lovebirds this morning?" Vanessa appeared behind Seb, placing her hands on his shoulders. "Aw Chloe, he missed you at the meal last night!"

"Morning Vanessa." Seb hoped to stop her before she embarrassed him any further.

"He did?" Chloe was pleased to hear this.

"He was You Tubing dancing videos of you!" She giggled.

"I'm on You Tube?" This was news to her.

"The place you went to for lessons, they'd put videos of you on there. I have to say Chloe you do a hot Argentine tango, and the routine you did to Disclosure's track, Latch, was OMG! Wasn't it Sebby?!" She patted his shoulders. "Mattia was impressed. He's suggested to Emma on PR that maybe you should perform at a race weekend. That'd be so exciting! Anyway I must go, I only came to get Charles some food." She walked off.
