Fifteen
Our first night was a success. Luckily everyone was tired from the flight so I didn't have to really worry about them as they all disappeared . I actually spent most of the night catching up with Billy and Abi before they left to make sure they could be awake for early morning practice.
That's one thing I don't miss. Those 4 am starts.
At 6 am I woke up to the smell of food heaven. I pulled on a jumper and walked towards the kitchen to find my own personal chef cooking up a storm. Theo wore a simple black t-shirt and joggers as he worked around the stove. Flipping over pancakes, the healthy kind that is.
He cooked a variety of different foods, a traditional English breakfast that would give all of us enough energy today.
Theo doesn't know it but I had planned for us to sneak away once getting everyone settled. Abi personally planned the day so that I could spend some time with him. She also hit me last night for worrying about her and her obvious infatuation for him.
She's one hell of a flirt but her commitment to winning gold medals kind of outweighs it.
I quickly sneaked up behind him and placed a kiss on the back of his neck. He turned to face me with a genuine smile on his face. Before I had any time to walk away his fingers grabbed chin pulling me in before planting a kiss right on my lips.
"Good morning," he said, pulling away, turning down the stove.
I smiled up at him, "morning chef" I said.
I quickly walked over to the coffee machine when I heard people coming inside. Scott and Thomas were laughing at each other as they walked in.
They both were showered and dressed in sports gear clearly very excited at seeing the pros today.
Billy worked a deal with the coach to have the pool for a few hours. I tried to avoid coach just because I know he will embarrass the fuck out of me. but the deal only could be made if I went to see him.
Let's just say, he wasn't too fond of me leaving the team but ultimately he did support me in what I chose to do. I was his Jenny.
Not the best swimmer in the team but he relied on me to keep the team together, keep us focused and I had the best knowledge.
" Theo, this is amazing," Tina said as she walked in with the others trailing behind her. Some looked more tired than others.
We all looked around the table practically salivating on all the foods. It wasn't long before everyone was filling up their plates with plenty of food. Theo watched amused and honestly proud as any chef would.
I found myself sitting next to Theo who would occasionally play with my thigh underneath the table.
" Todays going to be tough if I know the team they will more than likely give you a taste of being a professional swimmer. When you're there I want you to listen and watch carefully. You have one of the best teams in the world at your fingertips so make the most of it" I told them.
Breakfast was soon over and I was getting ready for the day making sure that I had everything I needed.
"are you nervous," Bryony said leaning on the door to my room. I was in the middle of putting my hair up in a ponytail.
Nervous 100%
" Just a little, I'm going to meet my coach again and as much as he supported my move to become a coach he was disappointed in me. I hate to doubt myself but what if he thinks I'm a shit coach" god when did I get so fucking pathetic.
