Say You Love Me

Chapter 2

"Lia, your always late!!" I muttered angrily into the phone.

We planned to go get coffee to catch up, because we haven't seen each other in a while. But once again Lia is late. I love her, but it is very annoying.

"I'm sorry. But it's how I get more money; by working these extra hours." Lia spoke through the phone. "I promise that I'll be at yours and Vic's flat on Saturday for dinner."

Shit.

I forgot about dinner. We arranged it a few weeks ago on our group chat, with me, Lia, my roommate Vic, and our other friend Emma.

"I've got to go, but I'll see you Saturday. Love you"

"Love you." I muttered, before hanging up and putting the phone in my pocket.

As soon as I put my phone back in my pocket, it buzzed. I have a message request on Instagram.

"Hey, it's Tom. I forgot to ask for your number. Sorry for stalking you, but I just had to talk to you more." My stomach fluttered at the thought of Tom trying to find me on Instagram, to talk to me. "If your around, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the park or grab a coffee again. If not, that's okay. I would like to get to know you more. x"

Is this a way of asking me out on a second date? I quickly wrote back.

"Hey, Tom. I'm free. I'm happy to go to the park for a walk. It'd be nice to get to know you as well x."

I stared at my phone, as a typing bubble popped up and I couldn't stop, but bite my lip to calm down my nerves a little bit.

"Yea, of course. Do you want me to walk to your house? I'm just walking past the..."

I was halfway through reading it when I was knocked onto the floor, with my phone smashed onto the floor next to me.

"Omg, I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. I was texting my friend. And..." The man reached out his hand to help me up and I instantly recognized his voice. I took his hand and stood up next to him.

"Friend?" I looked up at him, with a smug expression on my face. His brown eyes looked at me and a smile appeared on his face.

"Omg, y/n! I'm so sorry!" His eyes darted to the floor and saw my phone smashed. "Shit, I will pay to get this fixed or get you a new phone or something." I saw his panic rise, as he squatted to pick up my phone.

"Hey, Tom. It's okay. I've been saving up money for a new phone anyway. So I'll just buy another one. I don't want you spending your money on me. And I wanna go on that walk now." I took the phone from his hands and shoved it into my pocket.

Tom laughed a little and watched me as I slithered my hand around his arm and linked arms. I looked up and smiled at him. We started walking, with my hand still sl

"Want an ice cream when we get there?" Tom asked, looking down at me.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I haven't had an ice cream in ages!" I knew I was acting like a child, but I really want that ice cream. I heard Tom laugh and it made me smile. I think his laugh is one of my favourite sounds...
