Chapter 5

As I stood out on the balcony with a steaming cup of tea and a fag on the
go in my dressing gown, my mind began to think of everything that had
happened in the last week. In the week just past I had gained a boyfriend,
but not any ordinary boyfriend, a celebrity boyfriend. It was like god had
decided to pay me back after dealing me a load of shit over the last few
years. I had decided to get up early to prepare myself for the day ahead,
today was the day Tom was going to come out to everyone. He has spoken with
Jamie his agent yesterday afternoon whilst I was preparing dinner and they
had agreed to do it in two ways. Firstly he was going to post on twitter
about it all and then we had prepared a press conference to happen here at
the flat. A bunch of journalists had been invited to the flat along with
Jamie and Andy. His mum had the kids to look after but she really wanted to
be here to support him. She had said she would be watching and
listening. There would be a live feed on his website as well as it would be
on the afternoon and evening news, and he wanted me to be part of it all. I
was half way through the fag when he walked out on to the balcony in my
spare dressing gown and wrapped his arms around my waist scaring the shit
out of me. "Good morning." I said. He lay his chin on my shoulder and
smiled. "Good morning." He replied. I took another drag of the cigarette
and exhaled. "Dirty habbit." He said. I laughed. "This is much needed for
the day we have coming our way." I told him. "Don't, I'm so nervous." He
said. I finished the last drag and threw it over the balcony. I turned
around and wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed him. "mmm, you make
things so much better." He said. "I'm here, and I am going to support you
through all of this, and know that no matter what people have to say we are
always going to have each other." I said. "Your right as always." He said
kissing me again. "What time are they due?" he then asked. "9am." I
said. He looked at the time to see it was 7:30. "I guess we better get
ready." He said. Luckily we had cleaned up the day before and everything
was perfect. "We can share." I said. We headed for the bathroom and I
turned on the shower as we both shaved and brushed our teeth and then
jumped into the shower.

  After showering, drying and getting dressed it was now 8:15. I was just
putting the finishing touches to my hair with my GHD's as tom was putting
some hair spray on. "I need to get on twitter." He said. "The iPad is in
the living room." I said. "Thanks baby." He said kissing me on the cheek
and then leaving the room. I was dressed in cream chinos, a dark blue
superdry hoodie with red writing on it and then a pair of black toms. I put
the straightners back on the table after I had finished and turned them off
and headed into the front room as tom was sat on the sofa, with the iPad
beside him. "Well?" I asked. "I've done it." He said. "And?" I asked. "I
can't bring myself to look." He replied. I sat next to him and picked up
the iPad. "Do you want me to?" I asked. He simply nodded and I slid the
slider across. It was still on his twitter feed and I just looked. His
tweet read `@TomDaley1994 I WANT TO FINALLY TELL THE TRUTH AND SAY IM GAY
AND IN A HAPPY RELATIONSHIP AND DESPITE WHAT PEOPLE MAY THINK I AM HAPPIER
THAN EVER. THIS IS NOT A JOKE THIS IS ME OFFICALLY SAYING THIS!' I
smiled. "That's the best thing you could have put." I said to him. "Do you
think?" he asked. "Yeah, it's clear and to the point." I told him. "Thanks
babe, what's the feedback?" he asked. I read what people were putting about
it all and things were coming through good. I smiled. "It's all good." I
said. He looked at me and said, "Really are you sure?" he asked. "Look." I
said as we cuddled on the sofa and read it all people were saying
congratulations, or so happy that he has admitted it, or that they were
happy to see him happy with someone. "This feedback is amazing." He said as
we continued to read. It wasn't long before his phone began to ring. He
pulled it out of his pocket and the screen showed Jack Laugher was calling
him. He answered. "Hey mate, hows you?" he asked. "Good thanks tom, I saw
your tweet. Congratulations for coming out mate. I have tell you I have
tweeted about this as well and the response I am getting is all good." He
said. "Cheers mate, I am happy that things are going well." Tom
replied. "Good, I will be looking out for you on the TV later." Jack
said. "Cheers mate, we will have to have a catch up soon." Tom said. "Yeah
be good to see the two of you." Jack replied. "See you soon." Tom
said. "Bye mate." Jack replied and the phone went down. Then Chris mears
rang tom to say good luck for the coming out and then congratulations. Just
general stuff really. At 8:45 the journalists started to arrive with Jamie
and Andy. Jamie told me and Tom to go into the bedroom while the
journalists set up and that way we would be out of the and it gave us
chance to prepare. At 9am Andy came to get us and we walked from my bedroom
to the lounge where there were cameras and journalists set up everywhere in
my lounge. We took a seat with each other on the two seater sofa which had
been set up for us both. There were cameras clicking and flashing as they
took pictures of us both. Jamie nodded at me and tom and tom cleared his
throat. "I have asked you all here, to announce officially that I am coming
out as gay. I know this has been a long time coming and many people will
have already guessed this in the past. But I am now happy to say that it is
true. I am no different from the Tom Daley that everyone has known me to be
and I don't want anyone to think of me differently." Tom
announced. "Questions?" Jamie asked as he came to stand by us. They all
started to raise there hands as Jamie picked someone. "Yvonne." He
said. She was from the sun. "Tom why now have you chosen to do this?"  she
asked. "I guess now was the right time. I am now in a relationship with
this wonderful wonderful man, and I don't want to hide this." He said
taking my hand. "Ahh yes Charles." Jamie said. "Tom who is this mystery man
in your life." He asked. Tom looked at me. "This is James, and he is the
best thing to happen to me. He has been so supportive through all of this."
Tom answered. "time for one more." Jamie said. Again they all raised their
voices and tried to get attention. "Helen." Jamie said. She was from Heat
magazine. "James, now that Tom has come out, how do you feel?" she asked. I
was stunned to get asked a question. "I am happy. I am so proud of him and
he is the best person in my life. I wouldn't change him for the world and I
want everyone to know that I love him." I said looking at him. "I love you
too." Tom replied looking back at me. We shared a kissed and as we did the
cameras were going off like crazy. "Thank you ladies and gents for coming."
Jamie said. At that everyone started to pack up and leave.

  An hour later and the flat had been put back to normal. After speaking
with Jamie and Andy they between them had agreed to give Tom some time off
to let him and everyone get used to this idea and to give him the chance to
spend time with me. We sat in the lounge talking and I was so happy. "You
did amazing babe." I told him. "Thanks babe, I was so nervous but after it
all im just over the moon, and you did so well. Im so glad that you were
there with me." He said. "Always going to be here." I said kissing him. We
decided that instead of going out anywhere for the day we would stay in and
just relax and chill for the day. So we came to a mutual understanding that
we would watch some Star Trek DS9 and then some Voyager so we would both
get to watch what we both love. It was actually lovely to sit with him for
the day and everything was just so lovely. Tom sat in between my legs as we
cuddled and watched the TV just episode after episode over star trek and
slowly the day just went away. It got to 6pm, and the episode we were
watching had just finished. "We need to make dinner." I said. "Yeah we do."
Tom replied. We got up and headed for the kitchen and looked through the
freezer. We decided to just put a pizza in and some chips and leave them to
cook. Just as tom was clearing the dishwasher the house phone went off. I
went over and grabbed the cordless and answered, "Hello." I said. "Hi son."
My mum said down the phone. "Hi mum, how are you?" I asked. "Doing good
thanks." I replied. "Good, just seen you and Tom on the news." She
said. "And what did you think?" I asked. "Looked good. We are very proud of
you." She said. "Thanks mum, that means a lot." I replied. "So when do we
finally get to meet him?" my mum asked. "Well, that depends when you guys
want us to come over?" I asked. "Well we aren't doing anything this
weekend?" she said. "Well Tom has splash this weekend, but we can come to
you on Sunday." I said. "That sounds great." She replied. "Wait let me just
check." I said. "Tom do you wanna go to my parents on Sunday?" I
asked. "Yeah that sounds good." He replied. "Yeah mum that's fine we will
see you on Sunday." I told her. "Okay son, see you on Sunday." She
said. "Great, love you." I said. "Love you too." She replied as we hung up
the phone. "You can see jack as well when we are up there." I said. "Yeah,
he's not far from your mums is he?" tom asked. "No not that far." I
replied. He smiled and kissed me.

The following week went by so quickly. The press had been a buzz. They
followed me and tom everywhere all trying to get shots and in the end Jamie
had backed them all off and eventually they took the hint. We had been on
the front of the papers almost every day and people at work were all
talking about it and happy about it all. Getting up in the morning and
going to work was always the hardest part. Tom would wake up with me and I
would get ready for work and leave for work leaving him in bed. I would
come home and he would have cleaned and tidied the place and also gone out
to the gym and a lot of my mates would go round and see him in particular
Kash would spend a lot of time with him. As for our sex life, I loved
having him around so much. We would have amazing hot sex every night. Come
Friday he took off for London and headed to splash rehearsals. I was sad
that he had gone but I knew that on Saturday morning I would see him, and
sure enough I saw him and we had an amazing day on Saturday and then a
great time at splash. On Saturday night after the show we stayed at the
Savoy and come Sunday morning we got up at 5am, and got on the road by 6am
to head to my mums. 5 hours on the road and we finally made it to my
mothers. As we got out the car we stretched and mum and Royce were walking
down the drive to greet us. "Hi son." My mum said as she came to hug
me. "Hi jim." Royce said as he gave me a hug while tom stood behind. "so
come on then introduce." My mum said. "Tom this is my mum Tessa and my dad
Royce." I said. "Nice to meet you Tom" my mum said hugging him. "Good to
meet you son." My dad said as he shook his hand. "Come inside." Mum said as
we walked down the drive and into the house.

We spent a few hours talking with the folks and catching up as mum finished
off cooking dinner. "Come on through." My mum said as she poked her head
round the door. We went through and she had made a spag bol with garlic
bread. "Not a traditional Sunday dinner but it's just as nice." She said.
We sat round the table and talked. "So tom how did you and James meet?" she
asked. I smiled as tom talked about how we first met. The few more hours we
sat there and talked and caught up it was just lovely. They got to know Tom
and in turn he got to know them. "We are going to see Sarah and Scott and
George for an hour before we head through to Ripon to see Tom's mate Jack,
before heading home." I told them. "Short n sweet but its been lovely to
have you both and we will spend some more time before the wedding." My dad
said. I smiled and we made our way out with hugs and cuddles before we
left. We went to see my sister and nephew and caught up with them for a
little while and I got to have a hold of my nephew. "He's gotten so big
now." I said. "I know he's doing so well." Sarah said. "Do you want to hold
Tom?" Scott asked. "Can i?" he asked. "Of course." My sister said. He took
him off me and he was a natural. "You're a natural at this." I said. "All
the practise with my brothers I guess." He replied. I smiled. Maybe one day
we could have one of our own. We went to jacks and I got to meet another
diving champ and spent an hour or so with him and soon after at around 6pm
we headed back home. On the drive home he turned to me. "I love you after
this week." He said. "I love you more." I replied. This was just pure
amazingness and I was over the moon.
