Nothing Matters But You (tomblyth)

Chapter 13

Real life

They safely got to the hotel, her hair slightly messy despite the helmet. Tom parker and turned off the engine and helped her down. He unbuckled the helmet and chuckled slightly as her hair got messier. "May i?" He asked looking at her hair. Julie bit her lip and nodded, feeling him fix her hair and pat it down so it could look neater. He smiled softly and nodded "Yup, much better" he put the helmet down on the motorcycle. "Let me walk you up"

Julie shook her head "no no it's okay. I've been such a bother already"

He rolled his eyes teasingly "You're not bother don't be silly. Let's go" he took ahold of her hand, not thinking much of it but for Julie, she had been keeping count how many times he did that today.

He walked to the elevator and got in with her, looking down at her, smiling "How was it? The whole ride?" He asked curiously

Julie laughed softly "Well I'm not scared anymore and has concerned as I still am for your safety I liked it. It was very fun I definitely get why you like it. It feels so freeing once you're not holding on for dear life" she laughed a bit.

He chuckled and fidgeted with his rings. He nodded "See you get it now. But yeah no I thought your nails would claw into my jacket" he teased earning an eye roll from Julie.

As their ride on the elevator came to an end he walked down with her to her hotel room door. He knew she didn't need him to babysit her but he felt better knowing he'd drop her off on the door. He knew they'd be guys out by the hotel bar and he didn't want Julie to interact with any of them. As they reached her door they stopped walking. Before julie reached for her keys she looked up at him, smiling softly "Thank you... and thank you for tonight. I had so much fun. This is exactly what i needed." He always knew somehow what she needed and that's what she adored about him.

He smiled softly as he looked down into her eyes, nodding. "It was no problem... i needed the night out too plus i also had fun. It was just right."

Julie couldn't help but start leaning in before she realized he was probably with someone "Tom... can I ask you something?" She asked curiously

He nodded and looked around them, seeing the empty halls and turned his attention back to her "what is it?"

"Is it true you're dating that actress?" She finally asked, hoping she didn't come off as obsessive or weird.

Tom was clearly caught off guard. He chuckled quietly "Uh no..? What actress?" He was pretty confused to what she meant.

As the realization hit that he didn't even know about the speculations she felt stalkerish. She shook her head "oh- nevermind..." 

He shook his head and chuckled "I'm not dating anyone..." he said again, making it clear.

Her gaze softened as she heard this "You're not?"

He shook his head "Nope... i haven't been for like 2 years. Trust me if I were you would probably know about the girl before anyone else" he said truthfully.

Julie smiled a bit and nodded "Right... right no yeah... sorry- i just... i saw it and i thought-" she stopped herself and Tom smiled

"Why do you ask?" His said as his voice got slightly lower. He looked down at her lips, his heart starting to race. He wanted to kiss her so badly but he didn't want to overstep. He wasn't going to make a move unless she did.

She looked down and shrugged at his question "Just curious" she smiled a bit and cleared her throat. "I should... head in" she said as she looked back into his eyes. As she looked back at her door, internally fighting with herself as she tried making up her mind to what she wanted in this moment from him. "Fuck it..." she mumbled and leaned in, cupping his cheek as she closed the gap between them. The moment their lips touched she knew it was the right thing. It felt like their lips fit perfectly against each other. She felt his arms wrap around her waist, pulling her closer. The kiss was perfect and intoxicating, different from any on screen kisses. At this moment she didn't realize what she was doing until she pulled away, blushing. She didn't get why she got so nervous around him when it was just them "Sorry-" she said but was cut off by toms lips.
