Forever Yours, Tom

Back to You

Tom had thought about what I had told him back on Facetime. He thought about a way to come back and tell me in person how he felt and how we are friends.

"Mija (daughter) wake up it's Christmas Eve and we need to clean the house now."

My mother had open my curtains and the light hit and I covered my face with my pillow. My mother then pulled it away from me and hit me with it to make sure I got up already.

I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and checked my phone and saw a missed call and a text message from Tom.

Hey darling, hope you have a great Christmas Eve as well as Christmas Day. I have to spend it with my family in London, but after the holidays I'll go and see you x

I smiled at the message and replied and then I heard a knock on the door, it was Emma.

"Girl, get up already your mother is waiting. We have to clean if we want to get last-minute cooking shopping for tonight."

I go up and headed to my closet and picked my outfit and headed to the bathroom to wash up and then headed to where my mother was waiting with a broom in one hand and a mop in the other.

"A limpiar (To clean)," My mother said as she handed the items to me and she headed to the kitchen to cook some food we needed for tonight.

I started to clean with Emma and then my father and brother showed up with car pieces in their hands. Even on Christmas Eve, they have to be fixing a car.

Emma finished and so did I before my mother called us back in the kitchen and handing us a list of items to buy.

"Hurry up girls."

Emma and I dashed our way out to the car and headed off to the store.

"Emma is it strange to say that I fell or grew feelings more intense to a celebrity crush I never thought I was going to see?"

Emma was driving and she looked over at me and back on the road, "It's not crazy at all. But since you know your celebrity crush personally and have contact with them, why don't you tell them?"

I bit my lip thinking to myself I already told him and decided to change the topic before Tom could ask questions.

"I might have told him, but decided to change the topic."

Emma looked over at me with shock in her eyes and mouth, "Why would you do that? You could've kept going and heard if he had the same feelings for you dummy."

I sighed thinking Emma was right, but I pushed it out of my head as we entered the shopping center's parking lot. Once we got our items when headed back home.

---Night---

"I just want to say thank you for coming the whole familial (family) to have this beautiful night together," My mother said and cheered with her glass of champagne.

I drank from my glass and all the couples shared a kiss and I rolled my eyes in disgust. Emma looked at me and whispered something into Killian's ear. The younger kids came into the living room and begged their parents to open the gifts already.

"Okay everyone sits, we are opening the gifts in 10 minutes okay?"

Everyone nodded and kept talking about what they would like to do for the new year and I got up annoyed and headed to my room and looked at pictures on my phone.

I heard a knock on my door which I left opened and I looked up and saw Killian.

"Is everything alright love?"

In my mind, I wish the love part was said by someone else, but Killian is the only one here and he always called me that even out of the relationship. I laid on my bed and looked at the ceiling while Killian closed the door and laid next to me.

"Emma told me everything," Killian said and I grabbed a pillow and placed it over my face, and screamed.

"Everything will be okay, so come out be with the family a bit longer than you can come to your room and sleep or cry whatever your little heart desires love."

I took the pillow off my face and looked at him and sighed and headed out with him to the living room.

"Okay let's start opening the gifts," my mother said as she handed her glass to my father.

She passed the gifts around and one by one everyone opened the gifts and showed them off. I got makeup, clothes, perfume, chocolates, and items for my collection.

Everyone settled down with their gifts and then Emma stood up.

"One last gift to my best friend," she said as she handed me the tiniest box.

I smiled and opened it and it was my car keys ad I was confused until she said the gift was inside my car. Everyone looked at me and I smiled not trying to disappoint her. We headed outside and there my gift was.

Tom was outside of my car with a huge teddy bear on my hood of the car, flowers, and a sign that read, I'm back darling.

I smiled and headed to him and hugged him and he kissed my cheek.

"I have one more gift," he said as he handed me the sign and told me to flip it over.

I flipped it over and there he wrote the cutest letter.

'Dear Darling, I know you told me a while back that you grew feelings for me and then changed the topic which I didn't like. But know that I wanted to hear more about it. Because I never thought I was going to grab the attention of such a beautiful girl like you.'

I smiled and hugged him one more time and then I hear a bark. Willow was behind him and she came forward and I pet her as she licked me and there I saw a note on her.

I grabbed the note and looked at Tom and he looked back at my family and smiled and back to me. I smiled and looked at my family as I opened the note.

'Will you be my girlfriend, darling?'

Tears streamed down my face and I smiled bigger than before and hugged him tighter. I told him yes and he planted a kiss on my lips and my whole family cheered and the day felt like the most wonderful day ever. Best way to end the night.
