Chapter 69

A/N this is the second last chapter for this book! I've just gone back to studying so I'm going to take a break from writing & uploading after this book - probably till the first semester holidays or something, we'll see!

We spent the first half of the day rolling between the sheets with each other. Reveling in the post morning sex feeling. It was a good distraction from the night befores shit show.

I was grateful for the day off today, trying to put on a happy face for customer service was not going to go well today. Just before midday we rolled out of bed and decided to make some brunch, both mine and Tom's stomachs grumbling audibly.

Moving around each other in the kitchen we prepared a large meal that we took back upstairs and enjoyed together in Tom's bed. It was such a relaxing and carefree morning, I had almost forgotten about the situation we found ourselves, almost.

"So, I think we need to come up with an idea about what we're gonna do" Tom said, starting his sentence out softly. I sighed heavily, before setting my coffee cup down on the bedside table. I turned myself towards Tom more.

"I'm not really sure, I don't even know who this person is" I began softly.

"Okay, well if it's okay with you, I want to keep you in my sights whenever possible." He said, taking my hands in his. I nodded at him and squeezed his warm hands.

"I understand that, hopefully we'll figure out who's doing this" I replied, my stomach feeling slightly sick. Ideas of restraining orders and lawyers getting involved flicked through my mind for a moment. I wanted to avoid anything like that though. I just hoped whoever was behind this would come to their senses and stop harassing me.

"I've had personal security before, and I think it might be a smart move to hire someone to discreetly watch out for us when we're in public" Tom spoke while tracing absent minded shapes over the hand that rested in his. The idea of having more people watching us sent my mind spinning. I knew Tom wouldn't have suggested it if he didn't believe it was a good idea.

"Well I really have no experience with being in the public eye and that safety aspect, so if that's your suggestion then I'm okay with that" My voice traveled between us quietly.

"But I want to meet them so I'm aware of what they look like and stuff" I finished off my sentence. Starting out more confident, that feeling fading quickly.

"Of course, of course babe, I can talk to my management team and we'll sort it out" He said.

After our conversation. Tom was on the phone with his management team within a few minutes. He relayed the information he and I already knew about our situation, not skipping any details. Tom was on the phone for almost an hour.

While he was busy on the phone, I took a shower to try and calm my nerves. Also using it as a distraction from having to relive all the details again. After I'd been in the bathroom for longer than necessary, I exited fully clothed again. Tom was pacing back and forth, his hands resting on his hips as a deep v line form between his brows.

"Hey, how'd it go?" I asked, my voice seeming to snap him out of whatever he was thinking about. He let out a small sigh, followed by the corners of his mouth twitching up ever so slightly.
