The Fated Match

I would have never imagined that I would be sitting here being interviewed by a police officer. One minute I was calling jenny telling her to meet me at the hospital. Next moment I’m being guided or rather shoved into a police car and taken to the police station.

“your students don’t think that,” the guy says as he places photographs of me and my students on the table.

I don’t blame them for saying this. Yes, I’m pissed but I guess it makes sense sort of.

“just because I was pissed, he was messing around in my pool, my training time with my students doesn’t mean I want him any harm,” I said getting annoyed with this man interrogating me with no real structure.

They have nothing against me.

“we aren’t accusing you, were simply asking you questions to help with our investigation since 2 girls were arrested, we need to make sure were not missing anything out” yeah bullshit. They didn’t have to take me to the police station they could have asked me this at the hospital.

He breaths out, clearly, he couldn’t think of anymore real questions.

I’m not a student that he can manipulate I am a woman who knows her rights and knows that she has nothing to worry about.

And now I’m speaking in the third person, great.

“Sir there’s a Jai Williams here for you,” a young woman says peeking her head into the room. The sound of that name brought a smile to my face.

Fucking finally.

“tell him I’m busy” the officer waves her off.

She nods before going back outside. But it wasn’t long before she came back.

“that’s not an option sir, its her father,” she says moving her eyes to me as I sat back arms crossed over my chest as I watch them slightly panic.

Oh yes, my father. A top and highly profound lawyer in London who is also very protective of his only daughter.

Jai Williams never imagined to have a daughter I don’t think he wanted one ever. But life doesn’t always go according to plan.

My dad left when I was young and Jai was a lawyer working on a case the same time mom was getting her divorce.

Months later I was asking Jai to be my stepfather and he surprisingly was overjoyed with idea of being my father.

Mom and Jai we’re together when I was training but it ended just last year.

The officer stood up from his seat pulling me up as well. Alright, man no need to be so rough. I seriously need to make a complaint of this guy.

Once we walked out dad was standing next to another police officer who looked as if he would piss his pants anytime soon.

Toilets that way.

“are you done harassing my daughter or do I have to take legal action” the officer pushed me forward shaking his head.

“I’m done” it’s about fucking time. The idiot also admitted to harassing me so that’s great.

I could tell dad was about to say something else, but I shook my head at him. I really just wanted to go home and sleep.

When we finally got into the car dad was already on the phone making a formal complaint about that officer. He was fortunate to have great connections in the police force.

Next Morning

I honestly thought that I would be nervous about this morning’s training, but I guess doing a few laps helped me a lot to push away those nerves.

I had just finished two laps and was getting out of the pool since it was getting close to the start of practise. The doors opened up and Jessica and Jacob walking in. They stood to the side and let in a crippled Brother.

After being questioned and learning about him in the news I know him as Theo. A pretty unique name can’t say I know or have heard of anyone with that name.

I Threw on a big baggy shirt and walked over.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“guys, what are you doing here,” I asked them, walking over”

I knew that jenny would be coming to practice but there was no need for Jacob to be here and Theo probably should be home and resting.

I watched Theo hold his hand up to his sister. Stopping her from speaking completely.

Its god my attention that’s for sure.

But before he could get a single word out the doors slammed open and in strutted the rest of the students. They looked way too confident to be here, but I could see the confidence strip from their bodies as they saw both myself and Theo in here.

What, were they looking for another argument?

“No no inside all of you” Ryan busted in when some of the students were trying to avoid any confrontation and leave, he walked through the group of students and came over to Theo.

“Theo, it’s good to see you my man” oh yeah, I forgot they were close friends. What does Theo actually do, I don’t think he works here but then again, I could be wrong.

“can’t say I’m all that excited to be here Ryan” Theo mutters leaning against one of the walls. I noticed the obvious discomfort he was in and I decided to go and grab him a chair.

He smiled over at me and slid into the seat placing the crutched to his side. Yeah, I can be nice on occasion.

“why are you here then,” bryony said as she stood to the side. Obviously, her nails were the most interesting things right now since she couldn’t stop staring at them. Bryony didn’t have anything to worry about here.

I was told who were the students that spoke to the police. She wasn’t one of them.

“he’s here Miss Compton, because some students have made pretty big accusations against your coach” Ryan basically snarled at her to which she just shrugged her shoulders. Retreating to the changing rooms.

They couldn’t even look at me.

It seems as though Theo was here to make sure the students understood there was no bad blood between us and I didn’t plot to get the man murdered.

“I don’t want to hear it, just get in the fucking pool” I snapped when they started apologising to me.

Theo had left a few minutes ago.

I was pushing them today as their punishment for being such fucking idiots. I let jenny leave with her brother because I thought that she could make sure he is okay. He was shot on his thigh and won’t be able to walk properly for a while.

The incident has shocked the whole centre, people were starting to understand what happened and would keep pestering me for information.

Once I finished with the session I went into the office and had lunch with Michelle. She had bought me a box of chocolates and even shared her chicken wrap with me. I wasn’t going to say no to a McDonalds chicken wrap.

“her older brother was a swimmer too, I guess it runs in the family” Michelle had told me we were going over our plans for each swimmer. Starting with bryony.

Her dream was to compete in the Olympics. It wasn’t impossible, but she needed to train 10 times harder than she currently was.

Michelle agreed to work closely with bryony and make sure she really is pushing herself.

Next was George. His sights were also on the Olympics, which isn’t surprising this centre is known for students who aim for the top.

This is what I sighed up to.

Before any of them could even think about the Olympics we had to get them to the European championships this summer. They all have been competing and working on their personal bests for the last years or so.

So, all I had to do was get them into the championships and train them hard. Individually and as a group.

“I won’t punish them anymore, I’m sure they have learnt their lesson by now,” I said to Ryan when he asked me whether I would continue torturing them.

There was no need.

“Bryony may be spoilt and hard work but at least she had the common sense to ignore and focus on the training,” I said pushing bryony’s folder to the side.

I had to give the staff the all clear to let her come to the pool in the early hours of the morning. I admired her passion for the sport.

Reminds me of myself.

“Tina give it a rest” I snapped after receiving the 3rd text from her as she sat at her laptop. She had found Theo on Instagram as was constantly sending me pictures of him.

Theo was a restaurant owner here in the city but before that, he managed the cities football team which connected him to the centre and most importantly to Ryan.

She is fully convinced that there is sexual tension between us two. It’s a pathetic suggestion and I’m desperate for her to stop.

“oh, damn that’s one sexy guy,” Michelle says looking down at my phone. Ryan rolled his eyes. “that’s my mate c’mon girls” he groaned sitting back.

I’m more than sure that Ryan was only pissed because Michelle liked Theo, I’m telling you if there is tension between me and him there’s definitely something between him and Michelle.

“you have to admit though, he’s ridiculously handsome and still has the body of a footballer,” Tina said as we both walked out of the centre, heading towards our cars.

I hit her playfully. Idiot.

Above everything, I still wanted to know one thing about Theo

That Tattoo.
