Ciara's POV

Last night after Tom and I finished our bath we went straight to sleep. We've been in bed for hours, not bothering to get up for anything.

I laid on my stomach quietly, facing away from the man beside me. After a while longer he started moving around, slowly scooting off the bed.

"Where are you going?" I groan, looking over my shoulder to see him pulling a pair of grey boxers up his legs.

"I am leaving."

"What?" I questioned instantly, attempting to confirm that I was just hearing things.

He sighed heavily, "I cannot be here."

"Well where are we going?" I rolled onto my back, the sheets slipping down to reveal my bare chest.

"I am sorry for everything I did." He says as he pulls a random shirt over his head.

"It was purely out of love and I am fucked in the head I know but this was the only way I thought we could be together. I need you in order to survive Ciara, you are my world. You own my heart and my soul. I cannot bear the thought of being away from you."

Tom stared at me intensely. I sat up, pulling the sheets to cover my chest as I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Where's all this coming from?"

He huffs, "I do not know."

"I promise this whole um.. taking me away from the outside world isn't even that bad. We're starting a life together and I don't see a problem with that." I admit honestly.

"I am the problem."

My eyebrows furrowed, "Tom don't say that."

"Why not? It is the truth, this is ridiculous. I am ridiculous."

"You-"

"I am immensely pathetic for thinking this would make you love me." He said sadly, tears beginning to brim his eyes.

"I do love you." I say in a fairily low tone.

He shook his head grumbling, "You are just saying that."

"What do I need to do?" I ask.

Tom wiped his eyes, "What?"

"What do I need to do to prove that I love you?"

He shook his head, "Ciara this is-"

"Let's buy a house!" I blurted out, "Let's move out of here and get a place together."

He stayed quiet, fiddling with his fingers.

"An apartment maybe?" I suggested.

He stayed quiet for what felt like hours before finally responding, "I guess I may be able to work some things out." He says hesitantly.

"Are you sure you want this? Because even if you realize you do not I- um I cannot let you go Ciara."

I smile at his words, "Come sit down." I patted a spot on the mattress in front of me.

His eyes darkened, "Is this your way of escaping me?"

"Are you trying to get away from me?" He yells.

"Tom can you just sit down? I'm not trying to leave."

"You-" He groans, "You make things so difficult!"

"I'm not planning anything now sit the hell down and relax." He sighed angrily, releasing the grip that he had on his hair before finally taking a seat.

"After I killed Chase my heart started doing the thinking instead of my brain that is the only reason we are in the situation right now."

I gently pushed away the brown locks that had fallen in front of his eyes, "Well I'm glad you have a good heart."

He gave me a curt nod, "I love you."

"I love you more." I leaned into him, placing a tender kiss against his soft lips.

"Are you sure?" He mumbled out.

I slowly pulled away to show him my confused expression, "Do you really want to buy a new place?"

"Of course I do!" I smiled, cupping his handsome face.

He nods, "I will start looking around."

A few days later...

Ever since the day that Tom and I decided we were going to move we have been apartment hunting and slowly beginning to pack away things that we don't use.

We specifically searched for available apartments in the area since Tom insisted that we would buy a house when we start a family together.

"This one has the floor-to-ceiling  windows you mentioned liking."

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked back down at the laptop.

"Is that the master bedroom?" I ask, Tom nods.

"That's huge." I mutter almost incoherently.

"Yes it is perfectly sized." He clicked the right arrow key on the keyboard to show me the other photos.

"That's a really nice room." I said with a smile as we looked at the second bedroom in the apartment.

I could feel Tom's eyes on me. I looked over at him, "What?"

"You like it?" I nod with a gentle smile and take the laptop from him.

"It's really spacious! There's a large living and dining area, a decent-sized spare bedroom, loads of closet space, two bathrooms.." I continued rambling on, describing each aspect of the apartment that I liked.

"Ciara darling?" I looked up to see Tom standing over me.

"Y-Yes?"

"Shall I contact the landlord?"

I nod instantly, "Yes please." He brought his hand up to my face, moving his thumb across my cheekbone.

"Anything for you my love."

Tom leaned down and connected our lips, lapping my bottom lip with his warm tongue. I placed the laptop down on the table next to the couch.

I moved my hand up to hold the back of his neck, keeping his lips pressed firmly against mine.

Tom's other hand came up to grab a fist full of my hair. He groaned into the kiss, causing me to do the same.

He pulled away for a split second, "I fucking love you." He growled before instantly going back to devouring my lips.
