Part 2 || 9 - Be my date

It's been one month since Tom blurted that he wants to have sex with me. He has been totally normal about it, makes me wonder if he actually said that. We have had a lot of Instagram Lives for the fans, everyone seemed to enjoy it. We had collected a substantial amout of money that helped numerous hospitals.

We were currently in class and I was not paying attention. The premiere was scheduled on 6th November, we had already finished the filming. Now, everyone was back to their normal lives.

Rob went back to America, because he thought there was no point in staying in UK with his girlfriend. *eyeroll* No, he thought, he'd go there and start with Hollywood and help in the business. I had decided to breakup with him but I couldn't get myself to do it.

Let me rephrase that, I chickened out, yeah.

The next few months after the premiere are going to be very busy for me. I have two interviews scheduled with Jimmy Fallon and Ellen. Then there's San Diego Comic Con, which the whole cast is going to do. Tom and I are going to be at an autograph signing.

Prom was nearing and I had no date, I mean, it's not like I didn't have anyone to go with, I did - there's Rob and a few boys who asked me to prom. Tom was going to go with Melissa, I am not sure, he didn't tell me if he was going with her or not, then of course, Nico and Stef were going together.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when a paper hit me on the head. Before I could see what or who sent it, Tom snatched it from my hands and opened it. He rolled his eyes and scrunched up the paper and threw it in the bin.

"What was it?" I asked closing my pen. He shook his head and said, "Nothing for you to worry about" and pecked my cheek. We all went to the cafeteria for break. I was sitting next to Nicole talking about her dress, while the boys talked to each other.

"Hey, Y/N, can I talk to you for a second?" Stefan said looking at me. I nodded and he took my hand, leading me out of the cafeteria.

"What is it, Stef?" I asked as I saw Tom talking to Nicole about something. Melissa hadn't been sitting with us for a past few months, no idea why.

"Well, erm, can you, erm, I don't know how to say this" he stuttered a little, he looked like he was embarrassed of what he was about to say. I put my hands on his arms, "Whatever it is, don't worry, I won't judge"

"Can you loan me some money?" He blurted out in one breath.

"Of course, Stef. Of course, I can, but, erm, is everything okay?" I asked as we started to walk back to the cafeteria. He put an arm around my waist, "Yeah, well, all of the money that I'm earning or I saved is being used to treat Mom, so you know, I don't have much right now. I need to pay tuition for college, I just thought you'd help"

"Yes, definitely. Princeton is going to love you" I said pecking his cheek lightly. When we reached our table, Tom quickly put his phone away, like he was hiding something. I let it slide and sat next to him. I got a notification, so I pulled up my phone at looked at the screen.

"What- Why are you looking at your screen like that, Y/N?" Nicole asked and I teared my eyes off of the screen.

"It's, erm, it's from UH" I said nervously.

"Open it! It's going to be your acceptance" Tom said excitedly. I rolled my eyes and said, "We don't know if it's acceptance or if they rejected me"

"Come on, open it. Don't be nervous, you got it" Stefan said cheering me up a little. Tom held my left hand in his and I opened the email. Tom and I read it out loud together.

"YES!" The both of screamed in unison. Tom pulled me in a bone crushing hug. He kissed my cheeks repeatedly, and tightened the hug.

"I knew you could do it" Tom said pulling away.

••••••

"Hello, boys, girls, muggles and witches! Hello, everyone" I said enthusiastically, as Tom searched for something to eat behind me.

"What you're seeing in the background is 'Mi casa', Tom is now currently raiding the fridge, as you can see behind me, we'll get back to you when he finds something he wants to eat" I continued and turned around to see him. "Tom, honestly, I've been busy, there's nothing to eat. There's ice cream in the freezer and then I can make you pasta, now let's get back"

Tom walked over with a tub of cookie dough ice cream. "Hello, darlings. Let's get the show started"

Tom started playing the tune, "I won't lie to you... I know he's just not right for you" I furrowed my eyebrows when Tom picked this song.

"And you can tell me if I'm off but I see it on your face, when you say that he's the one that you want" he continued singing looking at the screen, not ready to meet my eyes.

"And you're spending all your time in this wrong situation and anytime you want it to stop"

"I know I can treat you better than he can and any girl like you deserves a gentleman" he smiled a little and looked at me.

"Tell me why are we wasting time... On all your wasted crying... When you should be with me instead? I know I can treat you better... Better than he can"

He played the tune for a few minutes and looked at me to continue, "I'll stop time for you, the second you say you'd like me to" I sang thinking about him and Melissa.

"'Cause I know I can treat you better than she can and any boy like you deserves a lady... Tell me why are we wasting time... On all your wasted crying, when you should be with me instead? I know I can treat you better... Better than she can" I sang with my eyes closed, tears quickly formed as I realized how happy Tom and Melissa were together.

"Give me a sign. Take my hand, we'll be fine. Promise I won't let you down... Just know that you don't have to do this alone. Promise I'll never let you down" the both of us sang together looking at each other. We sang till the song got complete, I started clapping but Tom continued to play his guitar.

"The song's over, darling, I know that" he continued singing in some tune. He looked at me, "But there's a question, I wanna ask you" I nodded and he looked back at the screen, checked the number of people watching the live.

"There's 23K people watching us right now, and I'm nervous to ask this" he continued making me hit his arm, cause he was making me anxious.

"Alright, alright. I was just wondering if you'd like to go to the prom with me" he asked and put his guitar down. I didn't hesitate to say, "YES!! YES!!" And I jumped into his arms to hug him, subconsciously placing myself in his lap.

"Thank God, I thought you'd say no" he mumbled against my shoulder as he tightened the hug. I quickly got off and realized that thousands of people saw me— us like this.

"Alright, since now you all know that Tom's taking me to prom, let me make ourselves clear, this doesn't mean anything, we're going as friends, nothing else, but do await to check out our outfits that we're going to wear" I said placing a hand on Tom's knee.

"Yeah, see you next Tuesday, bye lovelies" Tom said sweelty, we blew our kisses to the camera and ended the live.

"Alright, let's make some pasta!" Tom said happily. We walked to the kitchen and took out all the necessary ingredients.

"Oh My God! Tom, how can I forget? I said yes to you, but Melissa, she's your girlfriend! Oh My God! How could I say yes? And why did you ask me-"

"Stop fussing! She's not coming to prom, she's busy" Tom said placing his hands on my shoulder. I sighed and said, "Are you telling the truth? Just because I said yes, doesn't mean-"

"How dare you accuse me of lying, Y/L/N?" Tom said dramatically placing his hand on his heart. I rolled my eyes at him, "Alright, drama queen, cut it!"

"What are you going to wear?" He asked as I tried to grab a pot from the upper shelf. "I don't know, maybe we could color code, like what are you thinking to wear?" I said huffing, as I jumped to take the pot while Tom cut the tomatoes. He laughed, placed his hands on my waist, picked me up, instantly making me squeal.

"I think now you can reach, Shorty" Tom said sarcastically.
