Slow fade

36

After swimming we decided to all head home since it was getting late. I hopped in the car and rested my head against the car window since swimming always made me tired.

I was shaken awake a short few minutes later. When I opened my eyes I made contact with Tom smiling st me. " were home."

I nodded my head and followed everyone into the house. Tom walked in first so when I walked in I saw that he had hung my picture I drew onto the refrigerator.

" now we have a famous artists drawing on display."

" its really good Presley I love it." I tired around to see Bill was complementing my work. Everyone was kind of tired so Gustav took the guest room, georg was on the couch, Ansley and bill went to his room and Tom and I went to our separate rooms.

I first took a shower to get the lake water smell out of my hair but when I was done I saw a figure sitting on my bed. " I couldn't sleep." I turned the light on to see it was Tom sat on my bed.

" why not?"

" I kept thinking about you."

" thats sweet"

I grabbed some clothes from my dresser and beaded to my bathroom to change. When I came out I was happy to see Tom was still there.

" are you ok to sleep now?"

" yea." Tom sprawled out on my bed leaving me hardly any room since he took up so much. " Tom I cant sleep if you take up that much room."

" are you calling me fat?"

" never that you're just tall."

Tom moved over to his half of the bed giving me room. " thank you." I layer in my bed and faces Tom.

" im excited for our date tomorrow." Tom said staring into my eyes.

" me too. What do you have planned?"

" its a surprise."

" I don't like surprises though."

" well you'll like this one."

We stopped talking but kept eye contact. Tom slowly started to shift closer towards me as I did the same thing. We slowly came face to face with our lips only centimeters apart.

Slowly we connected our lips and it was the most breathtaking kiss. I could kiss Tom everyday and never get tired of it. He did something to me that I never thought I would get to experience.

We separated ourselves just looking at each other. " I could do tbat all day long." I smiled at toms comment which made him smile as well.

" me too but we really need to go to bed." Tom wrapped his arm around my waist as I rested my head on his chest. I was asleep fast and I knew he was too by the quiet snores he let out.

When I woke up the next morning Tom wasn't there which confused me. I could smell something cooking downstairs so I got curious and headed towards the kitchen.

" Tom what is up with you? You never make people breakfast?" The boys sat st the counter looking at Tom as if something was wrong with him.

" can I not just be happy and do something nice for the people I love?"

" something is wrong with him and j need answers." Georg said giving Tom an odd look. I didn't want to interrupt their conversation so I sat at the top of the stairs listening.

Eventually Ansley cane out of her room and joined me understanding what I was doing. " I promised to keep this between just us but I have a date today with Presley."

" I knew it! I fucking knew it!" Gustav screamed.

" I knew this would happen one day! How did this happen?" Bill asked. Ansley gave me a look as if to ask why I didn't tell her anything.

" Aaron revealed his true colors and she came to see what was happening since we had been gone a while and it just happened."

" I knew something was wrong with him but I just wanted her to be happy." Bill said with georg and Gustav agreeing.

Ansley and I decided we had listened enough so we joined the boys in the kitchen. " theres the girl of the hour! We were just talking about you." Bill said giving me a hug.

" I know I listened on the stairs with Ansley the whole time."

" I knew she was nosy but now we have another one? Thats amazing!" Bill said with sarcasm written all over his voice which made me laugh.

" here's your food and yours Ansley."

Tom had made pancakes and cut up strawberries. What made it funny was everyone's strawberries on their pancakes had a smiley face.

Now it made sense why the boys were asking him so many questions. " Tom you know were all adults here we aren't children. You don't have to make us smiley face pancakes." Ansley said.

" I think its sweet."

" of course you would you've liked him this whole time." I slapped Ansley's arm slightly making gasp at me. The boys laughed at our childish behavior.

" thats why I made them everyone here is childish."

I took my fork and took a bite of my pancake. It was actually really good. " its really good Tom thank you."

" anytime. We are leaving at 7 tonight if thats ok?"

" yea but why so late?"

" because thats when I have it planned. Any more questions?"

" no im good"

Tom could be so sassy sometimes but I found it really funny so I didnt mind.
