A date on the Eiffel Tower

Chapter twenty seven:

Everything I had been wishing for for weeks was finally there before me. Sat on the very edge of the bed was Thomas. His hair was flopped over his eyes as he wore a white T-shirt and navy checked pyjama shorts. He was leaning over on his knees reading my book with the page mark a couple pages behind where he was reading.

"T-Thomas is t-that you? Really you?" I stutter wishing it isn't a dream. I have had a lot of them recently, of him being awake and me seeing him. He turns his head up to look at me as the biggest smile I have ever seen covers his face.

"I'm sorry I couldn't wait any longer. I needed to find out what happened to your favourite character." He motions to the book he is holding as it jogs my memory. The last time I read my favourite character was in a life and death situation and I left it on a cliffhanger.

Tears formed in my eyes and before I knew it, I was in breathless sobs. He slowly stood up as I ran over to him, wrapping my arms around his chest. I think I ran with too much force as he fell over backwards on top of the bed with me almost on top of him. But I didn't care. I rested my head in the crook of his neck as he wrapped his arms around my waist and back holding me tightly.

My heart was beating so fast I thought it might explode. To finally feel his warmth around mine I felt content and happy, finally. I could feel myself lift up and down with every breath he took and I swear I heard a soft sob from him in my ear. I have never seen him cry before but here he was crying into my hair as it fell over my shoulders.

I pulled away, holding myself up on my elbows looking down at him. I was smiling so wildly I thought I would go dizzy. Tears were falling down my cheeks as I could now see them falling down his. My eyes darted between his eyes and his soft, pink lips as he did too.

Without thinking for another second I smashed my lips against his as we moved in sync. He sat up pulling me to sit in his lap without breaking the kiss. I felt his tongue on my bottom lip as I let him lead the kiss. I felt like I couldn't breathe yet I felt as though I could live forever without oxygen. I wrapped my arms around his neck running my hands through his hair pulling him closer to me if it was even possible. It wasn't long until we had to break apart to catch our breath.

I pulled my lips away from his, resting my forehead against his with our noses touching. I kept my eyes shut as I caught my breath. I could feel him almost panting as I opened my eyes to see him staring back at me with his cinnamon coloured eyes. He was still smiling and so was I.

"I love you Amber Rose." He said as his breathing had fully returned to normal as had mine.

"I love you too Thomas Zach." He smiled at me even more if that's possible.

"I really do love you." He said before kissing me again, placing his hand on the back of my neck and tilting his head to get a better angle. The kiss was just as passionate as last time as I felt tingles on my waist where he placed his hand.

I almost ran out of breath again, cursing human biology for needing oxygen when the door swung open slamming against the back wall. I broke away from Thomas quickly looking to see who it was. In the doorway stood Mia with a smile growing across her face as she looked between us. I could feel my face heat up as she started to jump up and down and squeal.

"You're awake finally! And you two are finally back together! Yay!" She shouts as I stand up, getting off Thomas's lap. I feel him interlock our fingers from behind me as the feelings spark up again from his touch. I hear him closely behind me as we are still catching our breath fully.

"What's wrong? What happened? Are you okay?" He asks frantically as she just smiles at him.

"Yeah I'm okay but I'm not the only one." She points over to Thomas and Ethan's facial expressions immediately shift from worry to pure happiness like a small child finding a friend in a play park.

Thomas lets go of my hand as I feel his warmth disappear. They walk forward hugging each other. I never knew they were that close of friends but I'm glad they are, that's for sure. They finally move away as Thomas walks back to me holding my hand and pulling me closer to him as he pecks my lips.

"I'm so lucky to have you." He says, making me blush. This is the best reunion ever. All four of us are finally together again. As I look around at everyone and seeing their genuine smiles makes my heart warm up.
