"You're supposed to swim in the water not drink it" I laughed as Scott coughed rather dramatically at the end of the pool.

We started training early this morning as most of them had their interviews for the next year.

Apparently, Ryan likes to sit down with each of his students and discuss their goals and aspirations for the next year, some of them look forward to it so I'm guessing that's why he does it.

"I know that" He wheezed. I grabbed a water and handed it to him. "Here wash that chlorine down with this and you should be done for the day" I was happy with his session, he was swimming better.

My smile dropped from my face when he disappeared. I had to put on a face for them but honestly, I just couldn't be myself. Today was the day I would meet my dad and I haven't seen Theo at all.

I hope he didn't forget.

Bryony silently warmed up in the pool. Guilty after what happened the other day but she was too proud to actually speak to me about it. I wasn't going to be the one to initiate it, she needed to come to me.

After 15 agonising minutes of training with Bryony, we exited the pool. I turned into my office, once I closed the door and leaned my head against the door and sighed.

" Tired?" I turned around sharply after hearing Theo's voice. I placed my hand on my chest. "Can you warn me next time that scared the shit out of me"

He simply just smiled, it was only when he started walking towards me that I saw that he was coming of coffee and a small paper bag.

You really didn't have to I already ate this morning.

This technically was a lie I eat at 2 o'clock this morning if that counts as breakfast.

Theo quickly tore the paper bag revealing 3 chocolate mochi balls. Oh, you have got to be kidding me.

A close my eyes I knew I didn't have the energy to refuse the mochi balls that looked beautiful. I almost didn't want to eat them and ruin their perfect form.

"Sorry I was late I got caught up at home but I hope you still want me here with you today"

I stared at Theo for the 4th time in the last 15 minutes. He wasn't saying anything, he was just resting back his head tilted towards the ceiling. I think we both knew that I was clearly wasting time here in the office doing God knows what.

" We should probably get going," I said standing up but Theo didn't move.

" Theo, shall we go" I tried again, only for him to not move.

Is he sleeping?

I resorted to tapping him lightly on the shoulder. I swear we were talking a few minutes ago what happened. His eyes snapped open, I smiled down at him.

" You ready," he said standing up, he zipped up his sports hoodie. I just had to smile, he completely ignored the fact that he fell asleep.

"Yeah" I mumbled. I followed after him and locked my office. I already let the team know I'll be out for a few hours. I didn't think i would be in the mood to come back to work so quickly after meeting my dad.

Theo drove us in his car, mom and Jay sent me messages to make sure that I was fine with doing this, they even gave me the option to pull out but I knew that I would have to sort this out with my father.

" Seriously" Theo groaned.

Oops, I didn't think he saw that. I decided to eat one the of the Mochi's and it was a little too runny which meant a spilled some down me and onto the seat.
