Crazy for you

Moving

Tom's POV

Two weeks later...

I watched Ciara wave goodbye to the movers as they drove off. We had finished packing up all of our furniture and boxes last night so they are taking all of our things to the apartment.

We are going to pick up the last few odds and ends that we need then head over to the new place.

Ciara is going to stay home while I go out to get a new bed frame, we may or may not have broken the other one..

"What else do you need to grab baby?"

"Just some books and my pyjamas from last night." I nod, stepping closer to her.

"You better not try anything Ciara.. there will be serious consequences."

I grab her hands, bringing them to my mouth. I kiss each of her knuckles just before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Go grab your things so we can get going."

—•——•——•——•——•——•——•—

I put down the last box and look over at Ciara, she was decorating the TV stand.

"Baby I should get going so I can get back while it is still early."

She nods slowly, not bothering to pay much attention, "See you in a bit."

"Can I trust you?"

She huffed, "Aren't you going out to buy something? I wanna decorate please stop distracting me."

I shook my head, making my way out of the apartment, locking the door behind me. I will let her off the hook for being disrespectful just this once.

Last week I got a call from Grayson. He was telling me how he is in town for a while and wants to meet up, of course I agreed.

That is where I am heading now, to meet up with him. After that I am actually going to go to the store.

I walked into the small cafe, looking around to see if I could spot him which I did almost instantly. He was staring right at me, checking me out.

I walked over to his table and sat across from him, offering him an awkward smile.

"Hi."

"Hey Tommy." He responds confidently.

I cleared my throat before asking, "Why am I here?"

"Well I'm going to be around for about three weeks and I figured it would be nice to get back in touch. We lost contact after-"

"After you left I know."

He nods slowly, "I couldn't find your number or any of your social medias. That's the only reason I didn't reach out I swear."

"I deleted all that." I state bluntly.

"I don't care I'm still really sorry."

I shrug as I begin picking at my nails, suddenly wanting to be home with my blossom.

"It is fine."

We stayed silent for a moment, "So anything new going on with you?"

"I moved into a new place today."

"That's amazing! You should've told me I could've helped you with the moving process."

"My girlfriend's help was enough."

He smirks, "Girlfriend huh?"

"Yea."

"Shit ain't that something." He leans back and rubs his chin, "How long?"

"Few months." I mumble with a smile as Ciara began crowding my mind.

"Damn you're whipped."

I shot him a glare, "Shut up."

He held his hands up in defence, "No need to get upset I'm happy for you. Just a bit jealous honestly."

"Jealous of what?"

"The fact that you're moving in with another person, specifically a woman you've only been with for a few weeks."

"Months." I correct him.

"Doesn't matter my point is she's fucking lucky."

I shook my head, a scoff escaping my lips, "I am the lucky one I should introduce you to her."

"I mean.. I would love to meet the woman that captured your heart."

"Do you have any pictures of her?" He asks.

I pull out my wallet and hand it to Grayson. He takes it and flicks it open, coming face to face with the photos Ciara and I took in the photo booth at the arcade a while back.

"Holy shit."

"What?"

"She's fucking gorgeous!"

"I know that." I say as I lean over the table and snatch my wallet back.

"You two make one hell of a couple."

"Thank you." I smile lightly.

"You really love her don't you?"

I nod, "I would do anything for her."

He nods as well, "I'm glad you found someone like that."

Grayson and I both went quiet after that. Why is this getting awkward so quickly?

"Do you want to know the real reason why I asked you to meet me here?" He says suddenly.

"Excuse me?"

"I didn't call you here just to talk about life Tom."

"Okay?" I was extremely confused about where this was going.

"I wanted to ask if we could start up our little.. agreement that we used to have before I left."

"Are you kidding me?"

"No but now that I know you have a girlfriend it changes things."

"How?" Obviously I would never cheat on Ciara I just wanted to hear him explain.

"She wouldn't be okay with her boyfriend fucking another man let alone fuck her as well."

"Actually I told her about you and she brought that up."

His eyes widened, "No way."

I nod, "Yea we were in bed talking one night and she said she would be completely fine with us having sex, even offered to watch."

Grayson began shifting in his seat.

"You alright?" I teased.

He hummed, "I'm just thinking about some stuff that I need to get done."

I rolled my eyes, "Sure."

"Would she really be down for all this?" He asks.

I shrug before changing my mind and deciding to nod, "Most likely."

"I already like her, you picked a good one." Shaking my head playfully, I got up from my seat.

"I am going shopping for a new bed frame, do you want to tag along?"

Grayson shakes his head, getting up from his seat as well. We walked out of the cafe before he spoke again.

"I don't want to distract you and I should probably be getting back to my parents anyway."

I nod in understanding, sending him a kind smile, "Alright."

Grayson stepped towards me and cupped my cheeks, leaning down he placed a light kiss on my forehead.

"Let your girlfriend know we spoke and tell me what she thinks." He licked his lips, looking me up and down before turning around and fading into the crowd.
