The Fishing Trip [✨Jamilton✨]

Chapter 19

Alex POV

"Alright, that's all your bags?" Thomas askes, setting down the suitcase.

"Yeah." He sighs.

"Alright, well, I guess I'll leave now. Let me know if you wanna hang anytime for the rest of break!" But I realize that I don't want him to go.

"Wait," I say with a sudden boost of confidence, and he turns. "Uh, I don't mind it if you wanted to stay a lil longer, I mean, only if you want to, heh, uhm yeah, you don't have t-"

"I'll stay, Lex." He smiles, and then there's a warm, fuzzy feeling in my chest. My face reddens. It's actually embarrassing how much I just want him, and he can probably tell too. Why doesn't he do anything? Because he doesn't like you like you like him, dumbass. 

About two hours go by and we're basically cuddling on my couch while watching our latest addiction, Lucifer (yes, I am projecting my taste in Netflix shows onto them). The hand in my hair is of course calming, but the feeling is just becoming overwhelming. Every time I look at Thomas images of that dream pop up in my head.

I can't wait any longer, I need to tell him. Even though I know that most likely he won't want to be friends with me if I tell him, it would be better than having to suffer through this every time I see him.

"H-hey Thomas?" I ask quietly, my heart pounding so loud I'm sure he can hear it.

"Yeah darling?" There it was. That pet name that I'll soon never be able to hear again. I screw my eyes shut and try to take deep breathes.

"Um, I-I need to tell you something..." I open my eyes to see him looking at me encouragingly. I want to run away, but at the same time just hide my face in his stomach and pretend I don't exist.

"I think-oh god-I think I... love you..." I say the last part quietly, stammering, and look up at him with wide eyes. He just smiles gently.

"I know," (the memes have come trUe-ok I'll stop)he says softly. "I think I love you too." It doesn't really register in my mind what he was saying, I was so sure he would yell and storm out, and hate me forever. 

A smile quickly spreads across my face as I realize what he's saying.

"Really? Are you sure?" He laughs.

"Of course I'm sure! I've been waiting so long for you to say that darling." And with that, I can't hold myself back anymore, and surge up to kiss him.

 I'm overtaken by the feeling of his lips moving against mine, and oh, this is 100 times better than the dream. Not breaking the kiss, he pulls me up to sit in his lap so it's more comfortable.

I'm aware of nothing except Thomas, Thomas, Thomas. His smell, the wonderful taste of his lips, everything. Now his fingers in my hair feel somehow even more pleasurable, sending shivers down my spine. I feel the safest I've ever been, and so nice and warm, I feel almost dizzy. I tilt my head, trying to get more, because god I need it. His free hand travels up and down my side, and I never want it to end, but eventually we have to break apart for air. Embarrassingly, I whine uncontrollably as he pulls away.

He says nothing for once, just looks at me with that smirk on his face, our foreheads pressed together. I couldn't say anything if I wanted to, my mind feels foggy, and I feel like I'm on cloud nine. We can just enjoy each other's presences in silence. Eventually, I roll my head over to rest it on his shoulder, and hold onto him tightly, not believing this is real.

For awhile we just sit there, me purring into his neck as he practically pets me.

"So, will I be able to tell Lucy you actually are my boyfriend now Kitten?" I groan into his neck.

"Great, another pet name. I don't even have a nick name for you! But yes, I will definitely be your boyfriend!" He chuckles.

"You know, baby works just fine..." 

"I'll keep it in mind." I grumble into his neck, and not long after, I'm out like a light.

**TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY: James Madison's "France," in Cabinet Battle #2**

"Tommy! I missed you so much!" Lucy exclaims, hugging Thomas and probably almost making him pass out from lack of oxygen. "Hi Alex!" She hugs me too. "I got you a present!"

"Really? Thank you!" I thank her, while we walk inside.

"Peter has something for you too, right Pete?" 

"Yeah!" He says as we sit down on the couch, Thomas's arm still around me, and I lean into his side.

"Alright, well we'll open presents tomorrow, right guys?" I hear Elizabeth's voice before she enters the room, smiling. I really am happy to see Thomas's family again, and hopefully have another chance to beat Peter at Mario Kart >:(. 

"Hey Kitten, come try this!" I hear Thomas yell from the other room, and it distracts me so much I drive right off a cliff (in the game of course lol). My face flushes at the nickname. Well, it's not so much the name, it's become one of the most commonly used in his vocabulary of pet names for me. But I guess it's a little embarrassing to be called that when we're around his siblings.

I get up and walk to the kitchen, where I see Thomas licking a spoon, and brownie batter on the counter in front of him.

"You shouldn't eat that, you could get salmonella!" I say while simultaneously dipping in a finger and trying some. He just rolls his eyes at me, and I smile back.

"It's good though!" I say, going to take more. He kisses me on the nose, leaving my face pink.

"Good." It's only when my focus is off Thomas when I jump up to sit on the counter that I realize there's another person in the room. Whelp, time to crawl into a hole and die!

"So what inspired that nickname?" Mary askes with a smirk not unalike Thomas's. 

"Mary, you do not get to know every detail of our relationship." He tells her, giving me a glance. I'm glad he didn't share that piece of information, because that would've just been humiliating.

"Worth a try." She shrugs, and leaves us alone.

Later, my face shoved into Thomas's chest, on his ridiculous bed, I'm easily lulled to sleep. But just before I lose consciousness, I hear the words, "I love you," whispered in my ear, and every problem in the world disappears.

Whew, you know, this chapter was actually pretty fun to write! I think I will definitely be starting a new book, this time with maybe more of an actual plot. I mean, I need something to do while I'm not paying attention in school... I hope you enjoyed the ending, and if let me know if you want this from Thomas's perspective. I'll be sure to post again if I start a new book (either jamilton or lams, I guess lmk what you prefer). Au revoir wonderful people!
