For teampenskejlbk So sorry for the wait!
"What time is it?" You asked, trying to wake from your drowsy state.
"8:30." Tom explained after fishing his phone out from the cracks of the couch.
"How is that possible?" You yawned, laying your head on Toms tired shoulder.
"We forgot to go to bed." Tom yawned, blindly feeling the table for the tv remote.
"I haven't pulled an all-nighter since high school." You reflected.
Tom suddenly awoke from a drowsy state.
"Who were you pulling all-nighters with?"
You grinned, "Nobody as cute as you."
He sighed, finally locating the remote, shutting the tv off.
"Now what?" He asked, stretching.
"Coffee!" You exclaimed, pushing Tom off the couch.
You watched a tired Tom pour coffee into two matching mugs.
"Good thing you don't have practice today." You told him, sipping the sweet caffeine.
"If I knew I had practice, I wouldn't have stayed up all night." He explained, adding cream and sugar substitutes to his coffee.
You fixed you glance on the beautiful outdoors, thinking back to the hot summer days you and Tom spent slaving away at your vision for the perfect backyard.
"Do you want to go sit out there?" Tom asked, gesturing to the beautiful Boston day.
You turned to him and smiled "Would you mind? it's a nice day and I thought it would be fun to sit outside," You asked.
"Of course. Front or back?" He asked with a grin as if he already knew what the answer was going to be.
"Back." You responded.
You both carefully maneuvered outside to the back porch.
Tom sat down, "Come here, I want to hold you."
You smiled and practically glided over. He held his coffee carefully as you settled in and leaned close to him.
"Thank you." You told him, cuddling up.
"You don't have to thank me for this, Kayla. I wanted to have a really special day with you and so far, I think it's going very well," He said with a smile and a soft sigh.As Tom playfully stroked your hair you watched the birds fly from tree to tree, and the squirrels dance from limb to limb.
"I love it out here." You confessed.
You could feel Tom nod in agreement.
"I love being with you." Tom exclaimed, absentmindedly.
Your heart skipped a beat, as it always did when Tom got this way.
You carefully brought the mug up to your lips, sometimes it was nice to sit back and enjoy the simple things.
It's my birthday, and all of you should comment, vote, and request!!
