His Heart Vacancy Girl

The feels..

Tom's POV:

Today has gone so slow.. It's dragged in forever. I'be spent almost the whole day booking everything for the date or talking to Beth. Emily said she would've loved to help but she had school and she has to take the twins to nursery. But before she left she told me one thing which is easier said than done. She told me to 'relax, Beth isn't fussy' and apparently 'as long as I show up on time, it will be alright' still though i'm panicking. What if she doesn't like what I have planned? What if she decides that she doesn't like me? What if she doesn't show up?!

Before you ask, yes I haven't been any better today... Infact i think i'm getting more stressed as the day goes on. It's now 4:00. I need to get in the shower, get my clothes sorted, prepare everything then I can leave to go get Beth for 7. I've got this.

I jumped in the shower and done all the nessicary stuff then jumped out. I pulled on some clean boxers and went to find what to wear. I must've have looked my entire wardrobe over 70 times but I still couldn't find something perfect for Beth. I began to get mad and I threw a 'Tom Tantrum' punching a wall. My bedroom door opened and in came Emily.

"Sit" she pointed to my bed. I obliged as she sorted through my clothes.

"Aren't you supposed to be helping Beth?"

"She doesn't need it. You do. Now try this on"

"Okay" I said then started to get dressed. She gave it a once over,

"That's not it. What time you picking her up?"

"At 7"

"Okay, we have time. Grab your keys and wallet"

"Why? Where are we going?"

"Shopping" I looked at her like she was crazy.

"I have to get te food sorted first"bathe pondered for a moment.

"Where are you taking her?" I told her the plans and she nodded in approval. "SEEV!" she shouted. He came running in.

"Yeah?" He asked. She told him to prepare the food while we went to get some decent clothes. "Sure" he said then ran off to do that.

"So, don't just stand there. We need to go" she rushed me. I grabbed my phone,beta and wallet and we ran to the car shouting a 'bye, watch the kids' as we did so.

*20 minutes later*

Emily'a POV:

Tom parked the ar and we got out and walked into the shopping centre. Bless him, it's adorable really how stressed he is getting. The date he has planned is perfect and I know she'll love it.

"Where to?" Tom said coming to a hault.

"Top shop, go!" I said pointing in the right direction and we speed walked over there. Once inside I told him to search around and holla me when he finds something he likes. It took us about 15 minutes to search the whole shop before concluding there was nothing right. So we went into a different shop... H&M to be exact. We looked through every rack and I wasn't looking were I was going and bumped into some one.

"Oh sorry" I apologised putting a top back on the rack.

"Em? What are you doing here?"

"Beth?" I said shocked. "Shouldn't you be getting ready for your date with Tom?" I asked looking over her shoulder to make sure Tom wasn't around. She can't see how nervous he is right now. It will make her feel guilty and she will stop him from doing what he has planned.

"That's the thing, i'm looking for somethig to wear. I don't have anything nice" that's a lie her wardrobe is full of nice dresses. But I suppose she's nervous too. I swear, they're both so alike. Match made in heaven. "Now, answer my question. Why are you here?"
