House of memories

Chapter 9

—————————Tommy's pov———————

I look down to see that Saturn had fallen asleep. The music continues to play through the AirPods. I grab her phone and press pause on the music so she can sleep in peace.

I sigh a happy sigh as she subconsciously snuggled closer to me.

"You right mate?" Wilbur asks looking in the rear view mirror.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why you asking?"

"Oh you just sighed, I thought something was wrong." Wilbur asked.

"Yeah, do you wanna talk?" Toby asked.

"I'm fine. Wait, Toby did you meet a guy?" I asked quickly changing the subject.

His face turns red as he looks down in his lap, giving away the fact that he had.

"Umm, maybe..." he responded timidly

"SHUT UP!" Wilbur yelled

"SHHHHH, you'll wake her up." I whisper shout at him. He apologises before asking toby "when did this happen?"

"Um, some time last week. It's kinda weird since he's a fan. But I will admit I do like him a lot." Toby scratched the back of his neck.

"Aww, well I'm happy for you. Have you hung out since you first meet?" I had started to play with Saturn's hair, I saw her smile. Her smile made my stomach flutter. Hold up-

"Yeah, we actually hung out 2 days ago. And before you ask, nothing interesting happened. We just went to a coffee shop and had lunch. And then we went to an arcade then left. Nothing special." Toby asked shrugging his shoulders.

"Hmmm, ok." Wilbur said looking once again in the rear view mirror.

"Actually, there was this one time." Toby started talking but I zoned out as I looked out the window. It had started raining. I watched the droplets of water fall down the window and put internal bets on which would win. When the one I put my bets on lost, I would have an argument with myself. This went on the majority of the car trip.

"We're here!" We all cheered and we unbuckled our seatbelts.

"What about saturn?" I whispered as I looked at Wilbur.

"Let her sleep. She'll realise what's happened when she wakes up." He hops out the car and shuts the car door. I look at her once more before hoping out.

I shut the car door, but stand there for a moment after realising that I'd woken her up. I watch as he eyes flutter open, she really is beautiful. Wait did I just-

—————————Saturn's pov———————

My eyes flutter open at the sound of a car door slamming shut. The sound of the pita-patting rain is heard as I stretch my arms out and rub my eyes.

I realise where I am and immediately have all my energy back. I go to open the door but I see that Tommy is staring at me.

I look at him in the eyes, I get lost in the them for a second. They're a shade of crystal blue, like the water of those beaches you see on postcards. And his fluffy hair was being wet by the rain. He was something. What am I doing? He's my best friend and that's it. Right?

Wilbur calls Tommy over and our staring contest is broken, thanks Wilbur, I open the car door and run up the boys. I walk past Tommy, he looks down and gives me a quick smile. I return the smile before we focus our attention on the front door of this air bnb.

"Wait, wasn't George flying with you two?" I ask the the other 2 Brits.

"He wanted to get an earlier flight. He got here yesterday so him, nick and clay could spend time together." I nod as Wilbur knocks the front door.
