Since We Were Kids (Thomas Brodie-Sangster)

Chapter Eighteen

A/N - Hey guys and welcome to Chapter Eighteen. Hannah's outfit ^^^^^

--- Hannah's P.O.V ---

I can't even explain how amazing Dubai is. The culture out here is so diverse and so interesting, the way people live their lives is most definitely a contrast to the way Thomas and I live. My brother has lived out here for a few years and hearing him speak Arabic so fluently is kind of weird; the way he switches between English and Arabic is amazing and I can't even imagine how hard it was for him when he was first learning Arabic but I guess it was helpful having English as the second language. I most definitely admire my brother though for being able to change from the way he used to live to the way he does now.

Thomas has said that we are going out today and he is adamant that everything is going to be a surprise. Of course Thomas being Thomas he can't say no to my puppy dog eyes and whenever I pull them he caves in almost immediately which is something I am so going to teach our kids if we ever have any but if we have a daughter then she will have him wrapped around his finger in no time. Because of Thomas giving in I found out that we are going for a walk along the beach and just taking in the scenery but I know there is something else.

I roll over in bed and see Thomas still sleeping. On the off chance that I wake up before Thomas I don't really do anything to him, I usually get out of bed and get a drink or something but that's when we're back home. There isn't a kitchen in our hotel room which is kind of annoying and if I use the kettle I might wake Thomas up and I don't want to do that. I decide to silently get out of bed and open the curtains that are currently closed to cover the aquarium wall because we found out on our first night here that it is very hard to sleep with the light from the whole wall shining out.

I open the curtains and stand there watching the different fish swim around. I don't think that Thomas is awake until I feel two arms wrap around my waist and I lean into their touch "Good Morning Darling" Thomas says and I smile "Morning Tommy" I say turning around to face him "You woke up before me" he says and I nod "That I did" I say and he chuckles "I reached out for you when I first woke up but I realised you weren't there so I actually opened my eyes and saw you standing here" he says and I kiss his cheek "Is that all I get?" he asks pouting and I shrug "I don't know" I say and he rolls his eyes before pulling me into a sweet yet passionate kiss.

We pull away and have a staring contest. I'm the one to break first because my eyes start to water and I can't keep them open "I win" Thomas says and I nod "Yeah because my eyes are weak" I say and he chuckles "Come on. One of us needs to shower whilst the other does the drinks" he says and I smile "I am having a shower first plus you make amazing coffee" I say and he kisses me sweetly "Thanks Darling" he says and I smile again. I go into the bathroom and I have to say the shower is amazing. It is massive and so luxurious, I most definitely want one like this at home but we just got the bathroom re-done and I don't think that there would be any point in putting in a new shower because it would cost so much.

After having a shower I change into a peach coloured lace skirt, a white sleeveless crop top, a pale blue denim jacket and white sandals with bows. Thomas walks out of the shower and quickly changes into a pair of shorts, a random button-up shirt and some trainers. He looks over to me and smiles "You look beautiful" he says and I blush a little "Even more beautiful" he says pulling me into his arms "Ready to go?" he asks and I nod "I am" I say and he grabs the hotel room key before we both leave.

Thomas wraps an arm around my waist as we walk along the coast line. Thomas and I sit down on the sand; Thomas puts an arm around my shoulder and pulls me closer to him. I rest my head on his shoulder and we just sit in silence with only the sound of the waves and the other people around us "I love you" Thomas says breaking the silence "I love you too" I say looking up at him "I have something for you" he says taking something out of his pocket and showing it to me. It's a ring box.

Thomas smiles a little hesitantly at me "I know I have already given you a promise ring" he says opening up the box "But this was my grandmother's engagement ring. Before she died she gave this to me and told me to give it to the girl that I love and want to be with for the rest of my life and as cliché as it is when she gave this to me I knew I wanted to give it to you" he says and I smile "That is so sweet Tommy" I say and he chuckles "And cheesy but will you accept it?" he asks and I nod "Of course I will. Do you even need to ask" I say and he slides the ring onto my left marriage finger. I know we're not actually engaged but it seems to make sense to have the ring on this finger.

We both stand up, brushing the sand off our clothes. Thomas wraps an arm around my waist and we both walk back to our hotel room. We walk into the room and chill on the balcony for a while, there is actually a balcony; there are a set of stairs that lead up to outside and it's a balcony. Thomas pulls out his phone and groans at something "What?" I ask moving closer to him and he puts his arm around my shoulder to make both of us comfortable.

He shows me his phone screen 'Actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster and girlfriend Hannah Owen have been seen in Dubai for the past week. However today pictures have been released of the couple on a beach near their hotel and Thomas was seen to be giving Hannah what looks to be an engagement ring. Is this power couple engaged? Are they making the next step? More to come soon' I push the phone back to Thomas and sigh "Every single music/celebrity website and channel is going to be saying something about this now" I say and Thomas nods "I know but I don't think that it will matter" he says and I look up at him "What do you mean?" I ask and he smiles "All they have is a couple of pictures; they don't have any proof of us actually getting engaged. We know we aren't engaged and our families know that we aren't engaged because they know better than to believe the internet" he says and I kiss him sweetly.

Thomas has a point. When the time comes for us to get engaged or for us to decide on getting married we will tell the press and we will make sure that all of our family and close friends know about it before we go public with the announcement.
