A smile graced my face as I stuck the landing on my final hoop apparatus. That was it. That was all I needed to earn second place in the intermediate level gymnastics competition. I was happy with second, considering I've been out of shape for competition for almost eight years, and I was lucky enough to even be on an intermediate level after getting back into gymnastics only last year. The room filled with such a great applause I was almost shocked by the amount of noise.
After the final line-up of performers and distribution of awards, I walked back to grab my gym bag from the sidelines and prepared to walk out. The silver medal hung from my neck like a charm. After all my hard work and recovery, I can say I've earned this. Between all my college courses and getting back into shape for rhythmic gymnastics, I can definitely say this is an accomplishment.
Arriving outside, the smile on my face widened when I saw my boyfriend waiting for me at his car holding a bouquet of lilies for me. I have to admit, I never thought he would actually give me flowers, considering he has a habit of being cold sometimes, but he would do anything to ensure my happiness. Even before he got to know me I could tell he would never wish harm upon me. Considering he used to basically be an asshole 95% of the time, I'd say I'm pretty damn special for that improvement to happen.
"You were amazing," he said kissing me on the cheek.
I blushed. "You saw?"
"Are you really surprised? You give me no credit."
I giggled a little. "Okay okay, I'm sorry I doubted you Sasuke."
"Apology accepted Rimi."
