more than just a dream; t.simons

june first, twenty-twenty one

I awoke to pure silence. this was a very rare occasion, especially on a friday afternoon. "TOMMY WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU" I yelled, while vaguely searching our flat. I saw a note on the fridge, written carefully. I held the note in my hands reading what it said.

hey it's tommy! a friend of mine from out of town is visiting, so i'll be with them for today. i'll see you tonight if your still up for dinner with wil n niki. SEE YA THAN BYE WOMAN >;)

I chuckled a bit reaching the end of the note, realising it's literally 2 pm. I got literally 4 hours of sleep.

I made myself some coffee and just chilled. after about half an hour of Brooklyn 99, I decided to talk to grace, despite it being 9:30 am in florida. we talked till around 6-ish when I realised that I had to get ready for dinner.

I hung up and walked over to my closet. i'm not really too sure if it's a fancy place or not. I ended up wearing a white sleeveless dress with red roses from my waist till a bit above my knees. I did some light makeup, whilst using a claw clip to make a bun.

I climbed out of the cab, paying the man before walking off. I was correct, the venue seemed fancy. I walked in asking for a table under the name 'William Gold' before the kind lady led me to a booth, with wilbur and niki on one side, and tommy alone on the other.

niki wore a blue flowy dress along with a white head band. wilbur wore a black suit with blue tie, supposedly matching niki. last up tommy wore a white dress shirt with black skinny jeans, and a red tie coincidentally matching my dress.

everyone greeted me, before I sat down next to tommy. they already ordered for the table, so we would all share.

!people drinking!

after a few minutes, I decided to have a drink since drinking was legal from 16 plus here, so why not? (story purposes hehe) tommy and wilbur followed suit, leaving niki with her sparkling water.

we ended the night with niki driving our drunk selves home, before me and tommy decided to get dropped off about two minutes from our flat, just to get some fresh air. we walk along the sidewalk, holding each others hands so we don't fall onto the road. as we crossed the street for the last time, I saw a flash behind me as I stumbled across the street, holding tommy's hand in hopes of not falling flat on my face.

"that ones going on twitter." he drowsily said, as we reached the other side of the street. I nodded not processing what he said.

I dragged us up to our flat, and into his room. we were both out cold in tom's room, before I could even make it back to my room.

I woke up at 4 am just to find out i'm protectively wrapped around in toms arms, while my heads in the crook of his neck. I started blushing realising the position we were in, and felt a sudden rush of sickness in my stomach.

I wiggled out of toms grasp and ran to the bathroom, throwing up in the toilet. I feel absolutely disgusting.

a few minutes later I heard tom stirring. I was not in a state that I wanted him to see, so I locked the door. I sensed footsteps up til the door.

"don't come in." I warn, clenching my stomach.

"you alright?" I heard him say, barely above a whisper.

"no." I say plainly. I see the door handle wiggle before he realises that it's locked. I hear light knocks on the door, before I decide on unlocking the door.

I unlocked the door to see tommy worried, tired, yet still worried. he sat down on the floor, grabbing wipe while he did so. he cleaned my face and made sure I was okay. he was so sweet sometimes, not being that big man persona. you know?

I ushered him out, before brushing my teeth and washing my face. I'm still in that white dress, so I changed into a random hoodie and shorts. I came out the room to see tommy eagerly waiting for me, his leg tapping the ground.

I walked over and rubbed his back in sympathy, I wasn't sure what happened, but it seemed serious. his eyes slightly puffy, glistening in the moonlight as he looked me in the eyes. I looked back at him, not even daring to break eye contact.

we both eventually made an unspoken agreement that we would not talk about it and sleep. I in the moment completely forgot I have my own room, I just savoured my time with him.

—

I awoke again, yet somehow alone. why do I always wake up and no ones there? it was 9 am, so I wondered where tommy was. the earliest he wakes up is at 10 on weekends, so it was quite odd. I walked into the kitchen to see yet another note on the fridge.

have to go arrange something, i'll meet you for lunch around 2 with some other friends? i want to introduce them to you. i'll pick you up than. also niki wants to come over sooooooooo she'll be there around 9ish? ok yes i'll see you later BYE WOMEN <3

WHAT NIKIS COMING NOW? I ran up the stairs and into the shower, soaking my body while quickly washing my hair. I got out and changed into a comfy outfit, as this lunch or whatever was in 5 hours.

as soon as I was ready, I heard a knock on the door. I ran downstairs to see niki standing there, smiling like an idiot.

"NIKI" I yelled, tackling her into a hug. I literally saw her last night, but I was to drunk to even remember it. she greeted me with the same energy, before we walked into the living room.

we talked about the randomest things, we talked about how big band theory should've been named sheldons world that everyone lives in. don't ask.

at some point we started watching brooklyn 99, while just doing our own things. I decided to talk to grace, but she didn't pick up. strange. i'll just ignore it, it's not like she's mad right? yea that couldn't be it. I snapped out of my trance and looked at the time.

1:26

WHAT I NEED TO GET DRESSED?!

"NIKI I NEED TO GET DRESSED TOMS IS TAKING ME SOMEWHERE AT TWO WHAT I NEED TO CHANGE HELP" I scream, hurriedly going into my room. I saw niki rushing behind me, making her way to my closet.

I did my hair and makeup while niki found a nice outfit. I eventually just did some light mascara, eyeliner, blush, and highlighter before wearing a pastel blue dress, that was flowing till my knees, and a bit tight from my waist upwards. I assumed it was a fancy restaurant so I went all out.

I was finished getting ready by two-ish when I heard the keys to our flat jiggle in the lock. niki left about ten minutes ago, so I could 'have time to myself'? I didn't really question it though. I walk into the hallway to see tom in a pastel blue hoodie, along with some dark wash skinny jeans.

"Y-You look ni-nice." tommy said, looking me up and down.

"tom shut up and take me to lunch i'm hungry as hell." I say, completely ignoring his compliment that brought a small blush to my face, yet it wasn't noticeable as my makeup covered it.

-time skip till the end of lunch because i'm lazy-

"that was wonderful, but where are you taking me?" I chuckled, as tom dragged me across the beach. he didn't even bother responding. how rude.

we soon arrived to a tiny hill that over looked the ocean. it was quite relaxing. we sat in a comfortable silence, til I saw someone in the distance.

grace?
