Holiday Tomance - ON HOLD

Panic-stricken (smut)

As I stood at the top of the sandy ramp which led onto the beach all I saw was an ambulance and a crowd of people. There were no surfers out on the waves and my heart sank. I started running down the sandy, slippery slope towards where everyone was stood. My heart pounding and tears starting to sting my eyes.

As I got closer I caught a glimpse of what everyone was crowding around but I couldn't see a face. All I saw was a person in a wetsuit on the floor and a surfboard. Frantically my eyes started scanning all the faces of the crowd but none were any that I recognised. My heart sank further as I pushed to the front. The paramedics were performing CPR on a male, his face obscured. The paramedic called time of death.

Fight or flight kicked in and I ran. Tom wasn't in the crowd. Was he the man on the floor? I went to his caravan and banged the door. It was locked and there was no answer. I ran back to my van, tears streaking down my face as I opened my door. My door had been locked which meant that Tom wasn't here either. I sat on the floor against the corner of the sofa and sobbed. What if that was Tom?

I sat there crying and sobbing until it went dark. No sign of Tom still. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't next of kin so I couldn't ring the hospital and if it was Tom would Shirley have been told. I tried to compose myself but couldn't. The sobs were coming hard and fast, my chest pounded. How could I feel so distraught after only 2 days of knowing him? How could life be so cruel as to possibly have taken him away from me when we had only just found each other?

Just when I was starting to feel numb wondering if I would ever find out what happened my door swung open. "You alright babe? I grabbed the pizza on the way back from town, had to go and help Kai collect a car for his Mate. Where are you?" He flicked the light on and looked over to see me huddled on the floor.

I sprung up off of the floor and ran towards him, he had just about enough time to place the pizzas down before I nearly suffocated him. I held him so tightly I thought that he was going to pass out. "Where the hell have you been? I thought you were gone. I thought I had lost you already. What the fuck Tom? I thought you were dead." I was crying again but this time tears of relief stung my eyes.

"Woah, calm down. Come and sit down and tell me what the fuck you are talking about babe?"

"After you went surfing, I did some work, had lunch and then went to see Shirley to pick up some shifts. On my way back I decided to stop on the ledge and watch the surfers." I sniffed back the tears and took a deep breath before continuing. "When I got there though there was a crowd and an ambulance. I ran down and couldn't see the man's face. He died, right there in front of me. He died and I thought it was you. Your door was locked and you weren't here."

By this point Tom had wrapped his arms around and was kissing the top of my head. "It's ok. I'm sorry, I came by to tell you where I was going but you weren't here and I didn't have a key to be able to leave you a note. And as stupid as it sounds, you haven't given me your number yet." He chuckled to himself and cuddled me even tighter. "It's all ok, I am here. You don't need to panic, I am here and I am not going anywhere."

I looked up at Tom and he instantly kissed me. I could feel the pressure and the urgency increasing as we both fell deeper into the kiss and in no time we were starting to undress each other. I wanted him, I needed him. Just half an hour ago I didn't think that I would ever feel his lips against mine or his skin against my naked body again. I went to stand up to take Tom to the bedroom but we were that desperate for each other that we didn't make it that far.

We fell onto the floor in a heap and in seconds I could feel him deep inside of me. It didn't take long before we were both cumming and screaming out in ecstasy. It was quick but it was passionate and urgent but most importantly, it was exactly what I felt I needed. Tom grabbed the blanket off of the back of the sofa and we lay on the floor in each others arms snuggled in it while the pizza still sat there going cold.

TOM'S POV

As I started getting closer to the van I noticed that all of Y/Ns lights were off. Not sure where she was but as I had the pizzas I thought that I would at least give the door a try. I wondered what she had been doing with herself all day and if she had gone and spoke to Shirley like she said that she would. I hoped she had and that she would be staying longer.

I opened the door but couldn't see her. She must be here as the lights were off but the door was unlocked. I flicked the lights on and then I saw her, cradled up in a ball in the corner. What the hell had happened? I managed to put the pizza down before she ran at me. She'd been sobbing. We sat together on the sofa and she explained to me what had happened.

I felt so awful, she had been crying because of me. She cried because she thought she had lost me. We could have issues because it was starting to feel as though we were both catching the feels we were trying not to catch. We had a short yet passionate and desperate feeling session on the floor before I wrapped us up in her blanket and held her. I cradled her in my arms and brought her head onto my chest. "I promise you babes, unless you tell me to go then I am here. I don't want to go anywhere while you are here. Turns out shit is happening." I kissed her and felt her relax into my arms more and we stayed like that for a little while longer.
