Let's See How This Works Out. || D. Amendola

Chapter 23

"Well, you could break up with Amendola."

I stared in shock as Tom said those words, but fired right back.

"Then you should break up with Bethany. Then we could have plenty of time to spend together." I said, on the verge of tears.

"Nicole." Was all Tom said as he looked at me, his eyes becoming softer now.

"No, Tom. Listen to me. You know who gave me the idea to spend the whole day with you today, just the two of us. That's right Danny. The one you want to get rid of."

"Nicole." Tom said again.

"What?" I snapped.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you two." He said, looking down at his feet.

"Well, we should be going." I said simply, standing up.

"Yeah, go head out to the car, I'll pay and be right out."

"Ok."

With that, I walked out to Tom's car and sat in the passenger side waiting for him to come out.

About 5 minutes later Tom came out and got in the drivers side. Instead of starting it and driving home, he just sat there.

"I'm really sorry, Nicole. That was wrong of me to say that. I know you love Danny and you shouldn't leave him just cause I got a little jealous."

"Thank you, Tom. I'm sorry I got so mad and raised my voice." I sighed, looking over at him.

"It's ok, it was a fluke. Let's just put this behind us." He smiled a little at me.

"Now let's get home, I'm exhausted." I chuckled.

"What, long night with Danny last night?" Tom winked at me.

"TOM!" I yelled, punching his arm. "That's none of your business." I smirked and sunk down in my seat a little, giggling.

"Nicole!" Tom laughed at me.

"Focus on the road, Tommy." I smiled as he turned his attention back to the road.

When we arrived at our home, I went straight up to take a shower. Before I got in, I sent Danny a quick text, thanking him again for the idea to spend the day with Tom, leaving out the whole fight ordeal.

I got in the shower and just stood under the water for a while, contemplating my life, wondering how I got so lucky to have such amazing people in my life. Tom, Sam, Danny, Julian, Lauryn, Rob and the rest of the guys.

I finally decided to actually shower as I grabbed my shampoo to clean my hair.

I finished my shower and grabbed some leggings and one of Danny's sweatshirts.

I braided my hair to the side, and grabbed my glasses and headed downstairs.

When I got downstairs, Tom was waiting for me in the kitchen.

"I got you a pizza." He smiled, proudly.

"Thanks, Tom. It looks delicious." I smiled back at him, grabbing a slice.
"But what are you gonna eat?" I asked.

"I don't know, I was thinking I could have maybe just one piece." He said, looking kind of disgusted as he peered over the pizza.

"Do you want me to make you some fancy, 'Tom's Crazy Diet' food?" I chuckled, grabbing a water bottle from the fridge.

"No, I'll be fine. Go relax." He replied as he ushered me into the living room.

In the living room, there was an assortment of my favorite snacks laid out all over the coffee table.

"Tom, you are seriously the best. But you didn't have to do all this." I gushed

"No, Nicole. I did have to. I stepped over the line saying that stuff about you, and I need to show you I'm sorry."

"Tom, I'm the one who should be sorry. I never should've gotten mad at you. I know you weren't trying to avoid me, and you've already shown you love me enough, because you've kept me around this long." I laughed as he pulled me into a hug.

After standing like that for a while, I finally pulled away and went at plopped myself down on the couch and started flipping through the channels on the TV.

I finally settled on a channel, and then Tom came in with some type of salad he concocted and a huge bowl of fruit.

"We should watch a movie." He said as he got comfortable in his chair.

"Which one?" I asked

"I don't know, whatever you want." He sighed, taking a couple bites of his salad.

"You always know how that one ends." I laughed, referring to the fact that I always pick one of the same three movies.

"Well, I'm not in the mood to choose. So you do it."

"Ok fine." I chuckled, putting in 8 Seconds, one of my favorites. And then going back to sit on the couch.

"I think we have watched this movie at least a million times together." Tom laughed.

"Yeah probably, but I like it, so we will watch it one million and one times together." I smiled as I cuddled up with my Patriots blanket, and grabbed a handful of strawberries out of Tom's bow.

"Hey! Those are mine!" Tom pouted.

"You may look like a bug tough guy on the field but you are really big teddy bear." I chuckled, popping the strawberries into my mouth.

"You're lucky I love you." Tom sighed.

"Love you too, Tommy. Thanks for being so amazing. Also, thanks for the strawberries." I giggled.

After that, we settled in to our couches, and started our movie marathon.

I am so lucky to have Tom in my life.

You guys did it again, so here is your update as promised!

Sorry it's shorter than normal, I have been working really hard around the farm trying to get a lot of things done in a short amount of time before my Dad goes in to have surgery on Wednesday.

After Wednesday, I will be taking on twice the workload I have now for about 6-8 weeks, so bare with me and I will try my hardest to keep up with the updates for you all.

Also, an update on the baby goats that were pictured a couple of chapters ago... They have moved down to the barn, and have also gotten a new friend: Kansas!

If you want to see pictures of them, you can follow my Instagram!
