Forever And Always (On My Mind)

Forever And Always - Chapter 2

School finally finished and I rushed out of the building without saying goodbye to anyone. I wanted to see Tom again. I knew my parents would get annoyed if I wasn't home by 6.00 so I had 3 hours to spare with Tom. I opened the door and walked in to see Tom cooking dinner naked.

I smiled devilishly and picked up a whip that was lying on the couch next to me. He hadn't heard come in yet so I walked quietly towards him, careful not to make a noise and whipped him hard on his butt.

"ARGH! WHAT THE FUCK?!" He screamed.

I started laughing hard almost falling on the floor at his response.

"What the hell was that for Bree?! Ugh, that really hurt!" He moaned.

"I'm sorry but I couldn't help it! You're face!" I bursted out laughing.

He glared at me, giving me evils but it just made me laugh even more. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his muscular chest. Slowly kissing it until I got to his lips.

"I'm sorry baby, I love you" I said quietly hiding a little smile.

He looked down at me, his blue eyes staring deep into my soul.

"It's ok beautiful, it didn't actually hurt that much. Now would you like one of Tom's special spaghetti bolognese for dinner?" He asked with a wink.

"Why yes, of course do!" I replied with a posh voice.

He laughed as he took the pan and poured some spaghetti onto my plate. The smell took over my nose and I moaned as I took a large bite. His cooking was amazing, I told him everyday that he should try out at a cooking school. He'd make a great professional chef like Jaques Pepin or Gordan Ramsey. But he always refused to go because the only person he wanted to show off his cooking skills was me. Bless.

After we finished our dinner, we ran towards the couch fighting for the remote. I dragged myself on top of him so that I could reach the remote that was only an arms distance away. But before I could grab it, Tom suddenly flipped us round so that he was on top of me instead. I screamed and started giggling.

"No Tom! You can't do that! Argh! No! Please don't! Alright, alright! I give up!" I spluttered out laughing. He continued tickling my stomach until we were both aching from laughter.

Tom bent down and crushed his lips against mine, our tongues fighting for dominance. We stopped after a few mintues, both out of breath.

"I'm so tired." I said.

"Hm, well, do you want to have a little nap before you have to go?" He asked.

I nodded and pushed him off of me, making my way to the bedroom. I crashed onto the large double bed and fell asleep instantly. It had been a long day.

I woke up feeling much better than I did before. I looked at my phone to check the time only to find that it was 5.55. I rushed off the bed and ran into the living room.

"For God's sake Tom! You could've at least woken me up earlier! I'm gonna be so late! Urgh, my parents are gonna be so mad!" I shouted.

"Oh babe, I'm so sorry. You just looked so tired I just thought it would be better if I let you sleep for an extra hour or so." He said with hurt in his voice.

"Oh Tom. I didn't mean to shout at you. It's just... My parents don't know about you yet and they think that I'm staying at Jodie's house and they know how precise Jodie is when it comes to time. So if I'm late, they'll get really suspicious and start asking questions." I said attempting to not make him feel bad for leaving me to sleep longer.

"It's alright. I'll see you tomorrow at lunch yeah?" He asked kissing me on the lips before taking me to the door.

"Yeah course. Love you baby."

"Love you too."

I ran as fast as I could to try and get to my house as quick as I could before the clock hit 6. I knew my parents were going to worry and proabably call up Jodie's parents asking where I was, and I seriously did not need my parents poking their noses in my love life. If they found out about Tom, they'd probably flip because I'm dating a guy who refuses to go to school, leave his house or even talk to his own family. I understand that he has his own problems but I love him for him and that's all that matters.

As I reached the door, I looked down at my watch. 6.01. Yep. I'll be okay. I knocked, waiting impatiently outside for someone to open the door and let me in. My mom opened the door and smiled.

"Hey, sweetie!"

"Hey mom" I replied with a grin on my face as I gave her a hug.

"Oh, I missed you this weekend. The house felt so empty without you" Mom said with a sad face.

I laughed, knowing she was just joking. We both walked into the living room laughing about our weekend. I saw my dad sitting on the dining table reading his newspaper. I walked over to him with a spring in my step.

"Hey dad! I missed you!" I said cheerfully, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey honey. How was your weekend?" He asked.

"Yeah it was great, me and Jodie went shopping on Saturday and met up with some friends later for dinner and on Sunday, we pretty much relaxed the whole day and did some homework. You?" I replied. Wow, I never knew how good I was at lying. I felt kind of bad though, lying to my parents about Tom. But they would never understand how we felt about each other and as much as I love them to bits, I just don't have the heart to tell them right now. Maybe when I graduate.

After my parents finished telling me about their weekend, I went up to my bedroom and switched my laptop on. I saw that I had over 20 unread messages from Jodie. I groaned when I saw how long these messages were. I spent half an hour just reading all the messages asking me where I was and why I didn't meet her in our usual place after school. I ignored all the messages and just thought I'll just come up with something tomorrow at school. I shut down my laptop and went to have a long hot much-needed shower. Once I got dressed into my pyjamas, I went down to the kitchen and made myself some hot chocolate with whipped cream. When I finished, I felt exhausted from all the running today and went to sleep replaying the events of today and last weekend going to sleep with a huge grin on my face.
