Do you want me here? -Tomark

0.6 First Date

-Mark's POV-

How do I ask him? I want it to be romantic, but how? I know! Anne can help me. I swear she's an expert at things like this. I pull out my phone ready to call her when it starts ringing. Oh look, it's Anne anyway.

"Hey Mark!" She squeaks into the phone.

"Hey Anne. I need your help, and I need it fast" I say.

"Why. What happened? Is everything-" I interrupt her before she can carry on.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Anne, calm down! There's nothing wrong, I need help with asking Tom out. Can you possibly help me?" I ask her.

"Eeeeeekkkkkkk!!" She screams down the line.

"Ouch, that hurt my ear" I whine.

"Sorry! Omg yes of course I can! I mean, pssshht I'm and expert so I know it all. Okay so first of all, where do you want to ask him?" Anne questioned.

"I was thinking Sombrero because you know, we both LOVE Sombrero. Mexican food is life" I stated, happy with my response to Mexican food.

"Yeah! That's a great idea! Take him tonight. I'll book a table for two and make it all romantic whilst you get ready. Tell Tom to dress nicely but not the reason why. Pick him up at 7:30pm."

"Thanks Anne. You're the best" I shout into my phone.

"You're welcome! And ouch, that hurt my ear this time!" She chuckles.

"Oops sorry. But KARMA!!" I scream and then end the call.

Tonight's going to be perfect, I hope.

-Tom's POV-

Don't do it. Mark told you to stop. You wouldn't want to break his heart would you? No. You have to be strong Tom. Don't let the voices and memories get to you. They keep me up all night, that's the problem. I can't take it anymore. Just as I'm about to relapse, my phone rings. Fuck. It's Mark.

"Hello?" My voice shakes slightly but luckily, he doesn't notice.

"Tom. I need you to be ready by 7:30pm. Dress up nicely. No questions, got it?" Mark tells me.

"Uh, yeah got it. 7:30" I reply.

"Good. See you later Tom" Mark says, with a slight seductive tone to his voice. And with that, he hangs up. What the hell has he planned now? I do as Mark says and go upstairs and change into my new suit. Don't ask me why I have it, I just brought it incase I needed it like I do tonight.

7:30 rolls around pretty quickly and I hear a knock at the door. I guess it's Mark. Strolling down the stairs, I rush to the front door to open it up and let him in. And wow. He looks so hot in that suit.

"Uh-h h-hello." I say, my voice going high at the sight of him. Oh shit. My bulge agrees with the fact that he looks so damn hot too.

A smirk appears on Marks face. Crap, he's seen my pants.

"Hello there. You look handsome tonight" he says very seductively and I have to admit, that turned me on to a whole new level. I feel my cheeks heat up.

"Come on, let's go" he turns around and heads out to his car. I shut the front door and lock it. Making my way up to his car, I see he is holding the door open for me.

"I- uh- thankyou" I manage to stutter out. Keep yourself together Tom! He just smirks. Mark knows I'm turned on.

The car journey is mostly quite with a bit of background noise coming from the radio. I notice we pull into the parking lot of Sombrero, also known as the best restaurant in the history of restaurants. We both exit the car and head inside.

"Hoppus. Table for two" Mark tells the waiter.

"Right this way."

He leads us to a table in the far corner of the restaurant with rose petals covering the table and some candles. I stare in amazement and the sight in front of me. It's outstanding.

"Like it?" Mark asks me, a worried look covering his face.

"I love it!" I reply.

We order some food and it's all peaceful until Mark speaks up.

"Tom, I've liked you for quite some time now. I don't know how you feel towards me but I like you so much you don't even know. Can I ask you something?" He questions, his voice trembling with nerves.

"Yeah sure" I casually answer.

"Will you be my official boyfriend?" His eyes squeeze shut, scared of my answer.

"OMG YES OF COURSE I WILL!" I scream out, catching some peoples attention.

I reach out across the table, grab Marks face and kiss him hard. We had a 5 minute make out session before we had to pull apart because our food had arrived. I was over the moon. I love Mark with all my heart and after dinner, I'm going to tell him that.We finished our meals and made our way back to the car.

"Mark, I love you with all my heart" I blurt out. I feel a heavy blush creeping up on my cheeks.

"Tom, I love you with all my heart as well" His cheeks turn a rose colour too. As we're driving home, his hand brushes across my hard on, making me moan quietly. Of course Mark heard. Smirking at his actions, he repeated it again making me moan even louder. I was already panting and it was just a small hand movement.

"We'll carry this on later" Mark said in the most seductive tone I've ever heard in my life. Tonight's going to be real fun.
