Chapter 21

Tom's pov

"Hello love, I'm here." I heard her sleepy voice over the phone. It has been about three days since I saw her. She could barely walk and I was worried. She hasn't talked to me ever since I left, I wonder if she was mad at me or just not doing well. "How are you lovely?" I really wanted to know. "I'm okay, just really tired cause it's almost time for bed here." I could hear her yawning over the phone. "Well do you have some time to talk?" I didn't want to keep her from sleep. "Yeah sure I can talk!" She sounded kind of happy. "Alright then, how's your back? Can you walk any better?" I got right to the point of the conversation.

"It's been better lately, I can walk by myself more but it still aches a lot." She sighed as if she was annoyed I asked. "That's good love! I'm glad and I miss you!" I tried to change the mood a bit. She paused for a moment before she said, "I miss you to but it's only been three days!!" She laughed at me. "I think we are a little crazy you and me!" She continued on. "How's that?" I asked curiously. "Well we've barely known each other for a month and we are already this intense! I'm not complaining but I want to know. Tom. Is part of the reason we are dating because you feel bad for me? Cause there is no need to. Accidents happen!" She let out a bunch of words but it took a little while to register to me.

I paused for a bit, apparently it was longer then a bit cause then she said, "Hello? Tom are you still there?" She sounded confused. "Ye- yeah I'm here..... Um... I just wasn't expecting you to say that. I mean yes at first I felt bad and that's why I kept coming over but then I genuinely felt something towards you. I can't explain it, I guess I just all the sudden I wanted to kiss you." I felt like I was saying nonsense. Could she even understand me? I don't know! "So is what your saying that wanting to kiss me started all this and now we're dating because of it?" She sounded like she thought I was lying but I wasn't. "Well yeah, I started having feelings towards you one night when you were sleeping on the couch I mean I think maybe earlier but you looked so cute that night and so I kissed you on the forehead." I let out more then I intended but maybe it wasn't so bad.

"Oh okay, Um well I knew that already. That you kissed my forehead I mean. I was trying to go back to sleep after waking up a bit before but I didn't get back to sleep and then you did that. I think that's around the same time I started to really like you to. It was the way you were gentle with me." She admitted softly what I thought all along didn't happen. I now knew that she really was awake when I did that and I felt a little embarrassed but in a good way.
"Wow um, I don't know what to say. I couldn't help myself and maybe it wasn't so bad that you were awake when I did it!" My mind was in knots of what to say to her. I didn't want to mess anything up.

"I'm glad I was awake cause if I wasn't then I'd still be trying to figure out how you feel about me with all the mixed signals! Your super easy to read most of the time but other times you confuse me so much!" She laughed with tiredness in her voice. "Hey!! Your not so easy to read either!" I laughed along with her. "To be fair I was in a lot of pain at the same time!" She slowly stopped laughing. "Yeah, about that, you should get some rest darling." I sighed. I didn't want to stop talking to her. It's only been a few days and I already wanted to hug her tight.

"Your right I guess, but do you mind staying on a bit longer until I fall asleep?" She quietly asked me. "Of course Y/n I would love to." I smiled yet she couldn't see me because we weren't on FaceTime.

Your pov

I can't believe what Tom admitted to me tonight! I can't believe what I admitted to him tonight!! I already missed him a bit. My heart started to feel sore as if something or someone was pulling down on it a little. We ended up talking for the rest of the night. Or at least it felt that way to me. The next day I saw texts from Tom saying that I fell asleep five minutes into him talking about his day on set. He joked about me not caring saying that I couldn't handle staying awake long enough for him to finish. He knew I was just super tired.
