Thirteen
Summer was not far and that would mean the team would need to work really hard if they wanted to qualify. 3 days until we finally head to America so before they get too excited, I was drilling skills into their bodies.
I stood by the pool and watched Bryony swim. She was determined I could see that she was putting in extra hours and it was showing.
"You wanted to see me,'' Jenny said, coming over to me.
She stood there with her hair tied up in a bun and a green juice in a cup. This is one conversation I wasn't looking forward to.
"yeah, how's everyone doing, what's the locker room chat like" I guess you could say jenny was my spy for what I don't see or hear.
"nervous and excited, we're all pretty excited to go to America but also kind of nervous hoping we don't make a fool out of ourselves" she tells me.
I guessed right.
"I'm sure they will appreciate a word from you" she says, beginning to get up and leave. I finally turned to her only to find her smirking at me.
"It's weird but it doesn't have to be a coach. I'm just glad my brother is smiling again" she tells me patting my back before leaving me and getting ready to get into the pool.
I just stared at her in shock. That was a lot easier than I imagined it to be.
It's been 3 weeks since the kiss and we've talked about it but nothing too serious, he's been spending time in my office more than often which is something that everyone has noticed.
Including Michelle.
Mad is an understatement. Theo is too busy giving me dirty looks and messing with me to notice the hard looks that Michelle is giving him.
"oi boys stop messing around "I snapped at Jordan and Scott as they were fighting in the pool. They quickly started swimming before I forced them to do laps. More laps.
God do these guys hate doing laps.
"You say something Tom " I said glaring at one of the twins as he snickered after calling out something.
He shook his head. Good answer.t
"Right guys I know I've been drilling you these last few days, but you know it's cause I want to help you out. America is less than 3 days away so I know you will want to start organising your stuff. It's America you're allowed to be excited." I raised my eyes to Dan when I saw his lip move.
His brother smacked him urging him to shut up.
"you aren't competing, you're just going to meet with professionals. You will have plenty of time for fun but when you're with the team I want you to behave alright" I told them. I had planned a few fun activities for bonding time.
I heard the door slightly open and guessed it was Jenny coming back in.
The guys smirked over at me. Before I could turn to see who it was, I found the eyes of Theo as he stood there in his glory. Not one word could escape as he grabbed my hips and threw me into the pool.
Everyone burst out laughing as I was catapulted into the pool.
"Do you even know the meaning of fun, Elle?" he said, smirking at me as I swam up to the surface. I glared at him, but a smile was slowly appearing on my lips.
I made my way up to the side of the pool pushing out of the pool. My t-shirt was sticking to my body like a second skin and that earned a lustful look from Theo as his eyes moved to my slightly see-through shirt and shorts.
