In It To Win It. [closed]

Danny sighed a little as he waited. His heat was coming soon. He was the fastest in this event in particular and there was always a lot of pressure - to be the best. The 200 IM. Not an easy thing to swim anyways - and pressure made it even less easy. He sighed a little as he shook out his arms and he frowned, rolling his neck towards the bleachers for spectators. Lennox - where was she? She was supposed to be here by now... Where was his girlfriend? It always helped when she was here.

Lennox pushed opened the doors of the gym and sighed when she saw Danny still hadn't went yet. She knew she was late but her practice ran late and her mom made her go for a run afterwards. Lennox moved so she was next to the bleachers. She leaned against them as she watched him. She smiled when she saw him win. Lennox clapped with the rest of the crowd and looked at Danny, smiling a little.

Danny was happy to see her and it made him more confident. AT the end of the race, he looked up at her and blew her a kiss, smiling. He grabbed his towel and walked over to her; he didn't have another race for awhile. "Hey love." He said with a smile and wrapped his wet body around her.

Lennox smiled as he hugged her, "Hey." She said. "Sorry i'm late. Practice ran late." She explained. She kissed his cheek, "You did great though." She said as she took his hand in hers. She looked over as his father walked over to them. Lennox bit her bottom lip lightly as his father began to nitpick at the race and what Danny needed to fix. Lennox looked over at Danny to see if he was okay.

Danny smiled a little and nodded his head. "I understand - I won't be mad at you for being late." He teased and kissed her forehead. "I'm just glad you made it." He held her hand tightly as his father walked over and there was a look of overall sadness that his father just couldn't be happy for him. "Dad - I won - What more do you want from me? I'm good." He argued and his father shook his head. "Not good enough - you can be better."

Lennox smiled and hugged him once his dad walked away. "You did amazing baby don't let him put you down." She said, looking up at him. Lennox ran her hands up his side, "And i just realized you are still wet." She said as she stepped back from him laughing softly. She laced her fingers with his, "When do you go again?" She asked.

Danny sighed and shook his head. "Yeah, you say that, but I don't know if I believe it. Maybe he's right - maybe I'm just not good." He said and hugged her tightly, smiling at her words. "Well you're silly, aren't you?" He teased and then shrugged. "I've got a couple of races away still..."

Lennox smiled, "Please don't let your dad put you into that mode where you get extremely serious and lose contact with reality again." She said. She kissed him softly, "You wanna go grab something to eat once you are ready?" She asked as she stepped back from him. She was starving.

Danny sighed and shook his head. "I'm not - but you know it's true!" He said with a frown and then pecked her lips softly again. "Sure - lets go." He smiled, taking her hand.

Lennox sighed, "It is not true." She said softly. She walked with him then held his hand. Lennox walked to his car with him then slid inside. "You can choose where we eat." She said softly.

Danny smiled and nodded his head. "I'm so glad I have you." He said softly and then sighed, shaking his head. "I hate my dad..." He pulled up the car to an old diner, smiling at her. "Remember this place? it's been my favorite since our first date."

Lennox smiled, "Yes i love this place." She said. She smiled as she walked with him inside then slid into the booth. She ordered herself a water then looked at him. "So what did you want to do tonight?" She asked.

@ dancingskiingwriter

Danny sighed and shrugged. "I don't know - how about we just go back to one of our houses and watch a movie and cuddle all night long?" He smiled at her.

Lennox nodded, "Okay that sounds like a good idea." She said. She took a sip of her water as she looked over the menu. she looked at him and smiled as she laced her fingers with his.

Danny smiled and nodded his head. "good." He smiled and held her hand from across the table. "How was your practice?" He asked her happily.

Lennox smiled, "It was alright but it took forever." She said laughing softly. Lennox looke at the waitress when she came over and ordered a salad. "So when's your next practice?" She asked.

@ dancingskiingwriter

Danny smiled and nodded his head. "Tomorrow." He said and sighed, shaking his head. "But we should hang out after that." He said with a wink.

Lennox smiled, "Okay." She said as she played with his fingers. "So you think you are going to do well this year?" She asked as she looked at him. She knew that he would.

Danny smiled and nodded his head. "Yeah, I hope so anyway." He said with a pout and shrugged. "I guess it will be okay." He said and kissed her knuckles.
