Holiday Tomance - ON HOLD

Sundaze

That night was amazing. We snuggled on the sofa and watched 3 films together while having a few drinks and snacks. We also had the odd make out session during the films things felt so natural that I didn't really believe it. We got into bed on the Saturday night, Tom in just his boxers and me in knickers and a Tee shirt. We cuddled into each other, kissed and naturally groped each other a little bit too but we didn't have sex. Even though we didn't have sex it didn't feel weird to be sleeping in the same bed.

I was startled to notice though that when I woke up Sunday morning he was gone and the bedroom door was shut. I never shut the bedroom door. I panicked slightly but figured he had obviously gone home. I dragged myself out of bed and upon opening the bedroom door I was hit with the smell of food being cooked.

"Morning babes. Kettle's just boiled, be a few minutes for the sausages." I grinned from ear to ear feeling a little dazed. He hadn't left.

"So the boy can cook then?" I cheekily retorted while making us both a hot drink. I was feeling groggy so wanted a caffeine fix.

"Well I thought as you cooked last night and bought me dinner Friday that it was only right I try and repay you somehow and what better way than by cooking a decent breakfast." He started bringing plates to the table where I had now sat. To be fair he was rather domesticated. He started dishing up and he had managed to keep the kitchen fairly clean too. "To be honest with you it has been a while since I last got to cook someone a nice breakfast and I don't really like cooking when it is just for me. Kind of feels pointless."

Breakfast served, Tom sat opposite me and started tucking in. For someone who hadn't eaten properly for the last few months, he certainly now had a decent appetite on him. "I'll be honest, I was a little shocked to see you in the kitchen. When I woke up and saw you weren't there, I thought that you had left already." I continued to eat trying not to show that the thought upset me. He reached across and stroked my hand.

"Nah, I'm not like that. If I needed to nip off I would at last leave you a note or kiss you goodbye. That is if you wanted me to kiss you goodbye?" He asked awkwardly, why did it feel as though we were 2 lovestruck teens who didn't want to be apart.

"I want you to kiss me goodbye and hello every time you see me. If you want too, that is?" Tom nodded as he shoved another forkful of eggs and bacon into his mouth. "What's your plan for today then? Got much to do?"

"I was thinking if you didn't mind that I may nip down to the sea and catch some waves on my board. Unless you had something in mind that we could be doing?"

"I have plenty in mind that we could be doing together but that can wait, I'm not the sort to come between you and your board. It'll give me a chance to get some of my book done, may nip and speak to Shirley about a few shifts as well. That is if you don't mind me hanging around an extra few weeks? Just means I can get my book done and still bring in some money." I looked at him to try and gauge his response to my idea.

"I think that sounds like a great idea babes. How about I pop back tonight and we can order in that pizza I owe you?" I smiled and nodded. We continued and finished our breakfast chatting about the day ahead and just in general about the site and Summer so far.

Once we were done we decided to split for a few hours. Tom went home to get ready to go surfing and I put some music on whilst doing some writing. I managed to get a good few chapters finished and proofread, enjoyed some lunch and tidied up. I looked out over the sea and spotted a few surfers out on the waves. I couldn't help but wonder which one was Tom.

I must have stood there staring in a daylight daze watching the surfers for a good half hour before I snapped myself back to reality. The more I had thought about it though, the more I couldn't help but think that I wanted to stay until the end of the season and do a few shifts. So off I went to see Shirley to try and bag myself a few hours here and there.

I got to Shirley's cabin at the entrance to the site and knocked. She must have been out the front as it only took a minute or two for her to answer. "Alright my love, how are you today? Do what do I owe the pleasure?" She asked me joyfully as she opened the door for me to enter.

"I'm good thanks but to be honest with you, I am here to take you up on your offer. I was wondering if I could stay until the end of the season to sort out my book but do a few shifts here and there for you." I smiled pleadingly at her, waiting for a response.

"Bloody hell, that smitten are we? I knew you two would get along but I didn't think he would have you wanting to stay and bloody work." Shirley was grinning and glowing at the thought of her match making working. "I can give you a few mornings in the café with the odd laundry shift and maybe a few arcade days from time to time, it may vary from week to week. I'll take care of you though, you know that. How does that sound to you?"

"I may be a little smitten with a certain someone. But also I want to stay away from home and I really do like it here, so café, laundry and arcade sounds perfect to me. When do I start?"

"Well, seeing as I know for a fact that Tom is off tomorrow and then on Arcade and workshop duty Tuesday. How about Tuesday morning? Make sure you are both down here for 8am."

 I said my thank yous and we said our goodbyes. I trotted back off towards the van but not before stopping to watch the surfers. Panic set in at what I saw.
