Holiday Tomance - ON HOLD

Busted

While waiting around in the arcade playing on the machines. Shirley entered and came over to me to talk. "Alright my love, how you settling in?" She spoke in her broad Welsh tongue. "Have you managed to find everything alright? Tom over there been doing what I asked and looking after you?" I glanced over at Tom and his eyes widened in fear.

"He has been so helpful Shirley, honestly couldn't fault him. He has been on hand for everything I have needed so far. He's even offered to walk me back after his shift so I don't get lost in the new site extension. Isn't that lovely of him?" I glanced over at him. He had gone very pale and I could see the panic setting in.

Shirley clocked his stance too and leant into me to whisper. "He's a lovely boy is our Tom, but his last missus was a right Witch. One of the girls saw him leaving your van this morning after coming to you late last night. Then this morning when he came to bring you breakfast she saw him enter without knocking." I froze and tried to look innocent. "There was a reason I placed you in his care, I didn't expect you to work your magic on each other quite so soon though." Shirley smiled and walked off shouting over her shoulder. "Catch you two later and try not to make as much noise tonight please, we do still have punters on site."

Tom started laughing and I did too. I walked over to the change desk and leant forward. "Still panicking about Shirley finding out? She just told me someone saw you come in last night and not leave until this morning. Also turns out she did it on purpose as she was trying to play matchmaker."

"Oh well, shit happens. Who knew Shirley could scheme so well? Anyway, I was talking to Kai earlier and he needs to shift swap with me so I have tomorrow and Monday off. Did you fancy bringing pizza and movie night forward?"

"I suppose that we could do. How about though, I cook something? I bought myself some stuff in the reduced section for a bolognese, how does that sound? I can cook while you nip home and shower. I even have a bottle of wine and you could always stay again? I wouldn't feel right getting you to try and find your way home after plying you with drink." I grinned and he laughed. I think he got what I was trying to say.

When the time came to leave, Tom was obviously feeling a lot more relaxed. He walked over to me and threw his arm over my shoulders. "Shall we go home then babes?" I smiled and pecked him on the cheek. He used his hand that wasn't around my shoulder to gently cradle my chin and pull my face towards him and kissed me. Shirley walked in at that exact moment.

"I knew you two had been busted last night but I didn't realise that it was an ongoing thing though." Tom looked at Shirley and shrugged as I just stood there quietly biting my lip. "Well, off you pop and don't forget you have two days off now, I don't want to see you running between the vans constantly though. Pick one and stay there. Don't want people thinking I run a knocking shop on the site." She said while laughing.

It only took us a few minutes to get back to the vans. "I'm just going to nip into mine and have a shower. You still ok if I come over for dinner then? I don't want Shirley getting upset with me for going between the vans." I nodded and we parted. No kiss that time. Oh well, I suppose as we aren't a couple and it is just a bit of fun I can't say anything.

I entered the van and started cooking for the both of us. I was always a bit of a cheat when it came to a bolognese though as I used a jar of sauce, never been any good at making my own sauces. I didn't want to poison the guy. I also bought some garlic bread to have with it too. Just as I was getting ready to dish up the door swung open and in walked Tom with his arms full. "What the hell is all that?" I asked while draining spaghetti.

"Well, I was thinking that as Shirley said she didn't want me going between the vans and you suggested that I stay tonight. I thought that it would be ok to accept and be presumptuous and just stay for the weekend?" He smiled widely like a child who had just asked for sweets. "I'm not expecting anything though. I can always sleep on the pull out if you want me too. It's just friends and company isn't it?"

I kissed him on the lips and started taking bits from his arms, he'd even brought beers which I immediately put in the fridge. "It's fine, we can share a bed and if things happen again then what's the problem? We are both consenting single adults aren't we?" I waited for his answer. He dropped his clothes on the floor and kissed me as passionately as he had done the first time. I think that that was the answer I needed.

TOM'S POV

I had known this woman in front of me less than 24 hours. I had already fucked her, spent a whole night with her, kissed her in public and now spending a whole weekend with her. What the hell was happening?

I promised myself that after Ruth I was going to spend the whole summer season focusing on myself and now 6 weeks from the end of the season I was spending time with someone. I just needed to make sure that I didn't catch feels for her, because that could end nastily for the both of us. It was all just a bit of fun or so I had to keep telling myself.
